Tamper
Evident Closures
Tamper evident closures are specifically designed for aseptic or hot,
ambient, or cold temperature filling processes, such as non-pressurized
beverages. They are available lined or liner less for dry or liquid
products in the food, drug, chemical, and distilled spirits industries.
They are ideal for carbonated soft drinks and bottled water.

Tamper Evident Stickers
Tamper evident stickers are designed to deter theft and discourage
tampering with a company’s fixed assets. They are produced with a
bar code and serial number allowing you to use it as an asset-tracking
label. They leave behind them the word “void” on the surface
of the asset if someone tries to remove it.
Tamper Evident Tapes
Tamper-evident tape provides a simple and cost effective solution for
improving security. The tape acts as an effective deterrent against
anyone who tries to open the packaging. They offer instant tamper
identification with the added benefit of being printable. When the tape
is removed, the adhesive remains and is exposed, leaving the wordings or
pattern on the box, indicating that the package has been tampered with.
The tape is usually a PVC or polypropylene with an aggressive adhesive
suitable for boxes. It can be any color, but usually the imprint is
printed diagonally, with patterns. The tape can be custom imprinted with
patterns to prevent cutting and lining up the tape.
Tamper Evident Packaging
Packaging isn’t just something you throw your product into and
then forget about. It should protect the product from all sorts of
hazards and should also secure the product.
Tamper evident packaging was given a kick-start in 1982, after the
Tylenol poisonings. Seven people in the Chicago area were killed at
random after taking Tylenol capsules that had been laced with cyanide
and put back on store shelves. After that many consumer packages were
redesigned to prevent or reduce product tampering. It is most important
packaging for cosmetics, drugs and medicinal equipment. September 11,
2001, food and drug packaging showed itself to be an essential element
in product security.
Tamper evident packaging also protects food from bacterial growth, from
moisture gain or loss, or from gain or loss of oxygen, among other
things. Anything from a vacuum-seal “pop” on pickle jars to a
plastic ring that breaks when you open a milk jug is an example of
tamper resistant packaging.
A tamper evident package is one having one or more indicators or
barriers to entry which, if breached or missing, can reasonably be
expected to provide visible evidence to consumers that tampering has
occurred. To reduce the likelihood of successful tampering, the package
is required to be distinctive by design or by the use of one or more
indicators or barriers to entry that employ an identifying
characteristic. Some food manufacturers are investigating “invisible
signatures” on packaging materials, visible only under an infra red
light, that reveals whether a product has been rebottled or repackaged.
