| Before Tamper | After Tamper |
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.
Superior Tamper Evident Performance
Our PREMIUM tapes feature superior tamper evident performance, which is designed to function within one (1) minute of application on the recommended surfaces.
Our RC and ECONOMY tapes feature reliable tamper evidence -- usually 1 minute to 1 hour after application on the recommended surfaces.
Our SuperSaver tape is the lowest price tape we offer with tamper evidence showing within 4 hours after application.
Most competitive tapes do not state their performance. If you are considering a competitive tape and performance is important, we recommend you request samples and compare before you buy.
Choosing Your Tape
We have the largest selection of stock security tapes in the world. Choose from over 25 stock security tapes. Custom security tape is also available.
Select a tape which is recommended for the intended surface. The "Key Features" section includes the "Recommended Surfaces" list for each tape. These recommendations are 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.
Our premium tapes feature superior tamper evident performance, which is designed to function within one (1) minute of application on the recommended surfaces.
Our premium tapes also 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 have the largest selection of stock 2 inch tape in the world.
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, which would indicate tampering.
When tampered, these security tapes transfer adhesive to the surface. For disposable packaging or containers the amount of adhesive residue left on the surface is not an issue. However, if the container or surface will be re-used, cleaning up the adhesive residue will be more difficult and time consuming for tape with a high residue formula. See the "Ease of Clean Up" recommendations if the container is to be re-used.
Our most popular roll length is 180 feet. Some stock tapes are offered in lengths of 165 feet and 250 feet. We also offer larger rolls for machine application -- up to 3000 feet in length. For custom tape, we can make any roll length. Please call if you have a special roll length requirement.
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.
If you are unsure which tape best fits your needs, please send us an email or give us a call (see the CONTACT INFO at the bottom of this page).

Application Instructions
The surface must be clean & dry. If needed, clean the surface with 100% iso-propyl alcohol.
When applying tape, the minimum surface temperature is +40F.
Apply the security tape directly to the intended surface. Do not apply on top of other packing tape.
When sealing cartons, seal the opposing flaps on the top and extend the tape a minimum of 4 inches down each side of the box. Repeat this process for the bottom seam of the carton.
If the cartons have excess 'spring' in the flaps, after applying the security tape on the flaps, use standard carton sealing tape to seal the edges of the flaps to the side of the box (see picture below). Other options are to glue or staple the flaps closed before applying the security tape. Repeat this process for the top and bottom of the carton.
Only apply security tape in a single layer. Do not apply security tape on top of other security tape.
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.
