Overview
Benefits of Security Tape
- Protect your products & equipment
- Control access to shipping cartons, pallets, & other containers
- Indicates tampering or pilfering
Tamper Evident Security Tape provides a security seal for shipping cartons, pallets, wooden crates, envelopes, bags, or other containers.
Before Tampering
After Tampering
After application, when removed the security tape will self destruct, leaving words or symbols on the package and in the security tape itself.
Choosing Your Tape
Choose from 13 stock security tapes. Custom security tape is also available.
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.
Some tapes include a perforation and can be used as continuous tape or as individual seals.
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.
The "Recommended Surfaces" list for each tape is a guideline based on our lab tests and customer feedback.
However, 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.

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.
