How It Works
Tamper-evident tape is applied to a substrate using flexographic printing, which imprints itself on the application surface via a release system.
This process allows the tape to detect tampering attempts and alert the user with a visible message.
If the package or wrapping is tampered with, the tape will display an alert message, indicating an attempted break-in.
How Does It Work?
Tamper-evident tape is applied to a substrate using flexographic printing, which imprints itself on the application surface via a release system.
This process allows the tape to remain on the surface until it's tampered with, at which point an alert message appears.
The alert message is a testament to an attempted break-in, making it clear that the package or wrapping has been compromised.

Tamper-evident tape can also be used with labels, which can be a smarter and faster product, especially in the dispatch of documents of importance and confidentiality.
In some cases, labels alone may be sufficient to provide a seal of assurance that a document or package has not been tampered with.
