Application Recommendations...

Ballot Box, Vote Box

Our adhesive security seals will seal a box and lid to indicate tampering. Our adhesive security seals leave an adhesive residue when removed. Our frangible security seals break into pieces when removed. Our SecureGuard products indicate tampering but leave no adhesive residue when removed. If the ballot box has a hasp, you can also use a mechanical plastic seal or padlock seal for added security.

Non-Residue Labels for Metal and Smooth Plastic

When removed, film shows a previosuly hidden message of "VOID OPENED" but leaves no adhesive residue on the surface. Suitable for indoor or outdoor application.  Ideal for use on expensive equipment or products that you want to secure without leaving a messy residue, including:

  • Computers
  • Servers
  • Network and phone patch panels
  • Laboratory equipment
  • Laboratory glassware
  • Electronics
  • Evidence
  • External computer hard drives
  • Metal cabinets

Most effective on the following surfaces:

  • Bare metal
  • Glass
  • Painted metal
  • Painted & varnished wood
  • Most smooth plastic
  • Most non-porous surfaces
  • Indoor and outdoor applications

For textured plastics, plastic bags, and powder-coated paint, consider our Plastic-Guard labels.

For finished surfaces, test SecureGuard in an inconspicuous area before committing to use. If the finished surface is not securely bonded to its underlying material, the finish may be removed or damaged when the label is removed.  If a SecureGuard label is left applied to a surface for longer than 90 days, a minimal amount of adhesive residue may remain, depending on the surface. 

Typical Application Photos

Non-Residue Labels for Textured Plastic

Our Plastic-Guard labels are recommended for the interior hatches and doors on aircraft which are textured plastic. When removed, film shows "VOID OPENED" but leaves no adhesive residue on the surface.

Plastic-Guard is a good choice for a non-residue security label for use on the following surfaces:

  • Aircraft hatches (interior)
  • Aircraft doors (interior)
  • Powder-coated paint
  • Plastic bags
  • Plastic carrying cases (HDPE)

If Plastic-Guard labels are used on a high energy surface such as glass or bare metal, the non-residue feature will not work. For non-residue labels for use on smooth high-energy surfaces such as smooth plastic and bare metal, our Secure-Guard Labels are a better choice.

High-Residue Security Labels

Our S28 security stickers offer enhanced security because the "high residue" tamper evident feature is more sensitive than low- and non-residue labels. Also, the "high residue" feature makes the S28 stickers more versatile and effective on a wide range of surfaces, materials and environmental conditions.

When removed, the security sticker will self-destruct to indicate that the security seal has been broken, and will leave a high amount of adhesive residue on the affixed surface.

Our S28 products feature a premium grade adhesive, and can be used both indoors and outdoors. They can be initially affixed in temperatures as low as +10°F. After affixing, the stickers are suitable for temperatures ranging from -40°F to + 200°F.

The choice of a high-residue label may not be appropriate for reusable containers, since cleanup may be required.  The adhesive residue clean up is usually not an issue for disposable packaging.  If cleaning up the adhesive residue is an issue, we recommend our STO12 (low residue) products, or our line of Non-Residue Security Stickers.

Low-Residue Security Seals

Our security seals are designed to show signs of tamper evidence immediately if removed after application. Unlike competitive products, there is no waiting period for the tamper evidence feature to become active.  The STO product line leaves a minimal amount of adhesive residue on the surface when removed. This 'low residue' feature minimizes clean up on reusable containers or surfaces.

Low residue security stickers are not recommended for materials with low surface strength, such as recycled cardboard, pressed cardboard, and pallet film. When removed from these surfaces, the adhesive will tear the surface and not activate the tamper evident feature. For these applications, we recommend a high residue security sticker such as our S28 products.

Our STO products feature a premium grade adhesive, and are compatible with most material surfaces, and are suitable for use indoors or outdoors. They can be initially affixed in temperatures as low as +10°F. After affixing, the stickers are suitable for temperatures ranging from -40°F to +200°F.

Plastic Band Seals

Plastic band seals are fixed length seals, which create a 3 inch loop (7 inch circumference). They are affordably priced and intended for low and medium security applications.  They offer a lower cost alternative to metal band seals, and are easy to install and remove.  They have a low break strength, which allows the seals to removed manually without hand tools.  All plastic band seals feature a unique, pre-assigned consecutive serial number.

Common applications for plastic band seals are:

  • Truck and trailer doors
  • Shipping containers
  • Rail car doors
  • Fire doors
  • Tool box
  • Sprinkler systems
  • Storage bins
  • Transfer hoppers
  • Valves
  • Utility meters
  • Any container with a hasp

Plastic Padlock Seals

Plastic padlock style seals are commonly used as tamper-indicative seals for use on utility meters.  Removal of these seals requires cutting the wire shackle, which provides clear evidence of tampering.  Plastic security seals are intended for low and medium security applications.  Because the shackle must be destroyed in order for the seal to be removed, each tamper-evident padlock seal can only be used a single time. 

Our stock padlock seals include a writable panel to record a date, phone number, contact name, etc. Use a black felt tip marker or ink pen for marking. For maximum durability outdoors, apply clear tape over the printed information.

Acetate Security Tape and Labels

Acetate tape and seals are frangible, which means they tear easily when removed. The “broken seal” feature of acetate signals tampering. After application, acetate material can be removed, but it is designed to tear into multiple pieces. The serrated edges (a sawtooth pattern) enhance the frangibility and security.  Chemical tampering causes the solvent-sensitive inks to dissolve and smear.

When removed, acetate tape and seals do not leave any messy adhesive residue, but the film will break into several pieces.  The low price of acetate security tape and seals makes this product one of the most affordable options we offer.

Acetate tape and seals are often used to detect tampering with various containers or bare metal access panels.

If applied to a reusable container or surface, use isopropyl alcohol to soak and dissolve the remaining acetate pieces and adhesive.  If applied to unfinished metal, a razor can be used to scrape the remaining pieces, then clean the surface with alcohol.
