Tamper Evident Security Tape provides a security seal for shipping cartons, pallets, wood crates, envelopes, bags and other containers.
Our economy tapes feature reliable tamper evident performance, which is designed to function within one (1) hour of application on the recommended surfaces.
All tapes shown on this page are "Standard Formula" unless noted otherwise. These tapes perform well with the most common surfaces.
The "High Residue" formula tape is designed to perform well on all the common surfaces PLUS more difficult surfaces such as plastic, film on pallets, textures, wax-coated, etc.
All tapes featured on this page are TSA-CCSP compliant.
Product Benefits
- Protects your products and equipment
- Controls access to shipping cartons, pallets, and other containers
- Indicates tampering or pilfering
Product Features
- Hidden Message: OPENED
- OPENED pattern may vary from shown
- Printing on tape (1" wide): "IF WORD 'OPENED' APPEARS, CHECK CONTENTS"
- No printing on tape (2" & 3" width) -- more covert and less obvious that the tape has security features.
- Adhesive residue: Minimum 50% transfers to the surface; 90% transfers for High Residue Formula tapes.
- Narrow (1") and Wide (3") Tapes: Using a security tape that is not 2 inch wide makes it easier to detect if the security tape was slit (to access the container) and then resealed with conventional 2 inch wide clear carton sealing tape.
- Roll Length: 180 feet

After application, when removed the security tape will show tamper evidence by self destructing -- leaving words or symbols on the package and in the security tape itself.
