Tamper-evident labels come in several forms, including destructible, frangible, and voiding labels. Destructible labels, also known as brittle or fragile labels, break apart when removed, indicating that the package has been tampered with. Frangible labels, on the other hand, break apart or show evidence of tampering when the package is opened or otherwise manipulated. Voiding labels, as previously mentioned, leave behind a message or image when removed, indicating that the package has been tampered with.

Carton seals leave a void message, label material, or cause noticeable damage to the packaging to indicate if the product has been tampered with.

Tamper-evident shrink can be designed as a full-graphic body shrink, seamlessly integrating this security feature into the package’s aesthetics. Alternatively, they can be used as tamper-evident bands for bottles.

Void labels identify a compromised item by leaving a message on both the label and the item it is affixed to. These labels can be custom printed with logos, images, or messages to provide an additional layer of security.

The benefits of tamper-evident labels are numerous. These labels act as a first line of defense against tampering, deterring potential thieves or tamperers from attempting to access the contents of the package. If tampering does occur, the tamper-evident label will indicate this, allowing the recipient to refuse delivery or investigate further. Additionally, tamper-evident labels can provide peace of mind to customers, assuring them that the product they receive has not been tampered with during transit. Finally, the use of tamper-evident labels can help protect a brand’s reputation, as customers are more likely to trust companies that take the necessary steps to ensure the security of their products.
