Specifications & Intended Use

Tamper Evident Security Tape

Tamper Evident Feature:



Tape is applied to a clean, dry surface. It is designed to seal opposing flaps of a corrugated carton.

When the tape is removed, the ink and adhesive separates from the film and sticks to the carton. The pattern of words "OPENED" will appear on this residue.

If the activated tape is reapplied, the pattern of "OPENED" words will appear through the film.

This is a single use item.
