Overview

Customized tamper evident tape offers more security.

Options: Custom Security Tapes

IMPRINTED TAPE
Our most affordable custom option is to imprint your custom text (using black ink) on one of two stock designs. The minimum order quantity for IMPRINTED TAPE is 40 rolls.

CUSTOM TAPE
Another option is to custom print your graphics using custom colors. The minimum order quantity for CUSTOM TAPE is 80 rolls.

Choosing Your Security Tapes

Choose the tape formula that best fits your intended application. The two choices are:

Our STANDARD formula works for most applications.
Our HIGH RESIDUE (HR) formula is designed to tamper on more difficult surfaces, but application speeds may be lower due to the sensitive tamper evident feature.

For more detailed recommendations on the formulas, see the "Recommended Surfaces" list, which is a guideline based on our lab tests and customer feedback.

Some tapes feature a serial number. Record the number as needed for additional security.

Some tapes feature printed instructions, which can serve as a deterrent to tampering.

Some customers prefer plain tape to minimize attention to the package during shipping.

Most shipping cartons use 2 inch wide tape.

We also offer 1 inch and 3 inch wide tapes. These different widths can add security because it is easier to detect tampering. For example, if someone slit the security tape to gain access to the container and then resealed the carton with conventional 2 inch wide clear sealing tape, the resealing tape is a different width than the security tape.

We recommend testing tape samples in actual conditions before product is ordered. We offer free samples so you can test and verify the selected tape will meet your specific needs.

When tampered, these security tapes transfer adhesive to the surface. For disposable packaging or containers this is not an issue. However, if the container will be re-used, cleaning up the adhesive residue will be more difficult and time consuming for some tapes. See the "Ease of Clean Up" recommendations if the container is to be re-used.

We offer pricing discounts for higher quantity orders. For the best value, we recommend purchasing at least 1 year's supply. When stored properly, our tapes have a MINIMUM 2 year shelf life.

After application, when removed the security tape will self destruct, leaving words or symbols on the package and in the security tape itself.

Intended Use

Tape is applied to a clean, dry surface.

When the tape is removed, most (or all) of the ink and adhesive transfers to the applied surface. The hidden pattern ("OPENED", "VOID", etc) will appear on the surface and also in the tape.

Once removed, the tape cannot be resealed. If the voided tape is reapplied, the hidden pattern ("OPENED VOID") is still visible in the tape.

Tape is self-wound (no paper backing) on 3 inch ID cores.

The tapes designed for cardboard with recycled content fully transfer the adhesive to the surface and are more difficult to clean up; these tapes are primarily recommended for disposable packaging.

This is a single use item. It is not recommended for any application where the adhesive may be ingested by humans or animals.

Storage & Shelf Life

Recommended Storage Temperature is 40 to 80F. Maximum temperature prior to application is 100F. The MINIMUM shelf life is 2 years under these conditions.

Application

Surface must be clean & dry. Clean as needed with 100% iso-propyl alcohol.

Minimum Application Temperature is +40F

On the recommended surfaces at 70F, the tamper evident feature should be functional within 1 minute of application. Other surfaces may require more curing time. If the tamper evident feature does not perform immediately, more curing time usually improves the performance of the tamper evident feature.

The various tape formulations we offer perform differently depending on the material surface and application conditions. We recommend testing tape samples under actual end-use conditions to confirm compatitibity with your specific application. We offer free samples for testing.

Trouble Shooting Guide

If the tamper evident feature is not working to your satisfaction, please review the Trouble shooting Guide for suggestions. Or give us a call.

Product Returns & Claims

If you order stock tamper evident tape and it does not meet your needs, unused rolls can be returned for a full material credit within 30 days. See Ordering Info for more details.

For security tape shipped to desert or tropical climates, we include temperature sensors to confirm the maximum temperature during shipping and storage. Returned tape with temperature sensors must not have any reading of 100F or higher.

Claims for questionable or defective product must be made within 1 week of delivery.

The graphics for the hidden tamper evident feature (OPENED, VOID, etc) shown is a fair representation. However, the actual hidden graphic may vary by size, orientation, alternating forward and backwards reading, backwards reading, include upper and lower case, font, etc. Also, the graphic may change on future orders. If the graphic layout for the hidden pattern is critical, please inquire for more details prior to placing your order.
