Security Tamper Evident Tape – Adding Confidence to Every Shipment

Image
Sending products to customers is only part of the job. Making sure they arrive exactly as they left your premises is just as important. Whether goods are travelling across the country or being stored before dispatch, businesses want to know that their packaging hasn't been opened along the way. Using security tamper evident tape is a simple way to provide that reassurance. Unlike standard packaging tape, tamper-evident tape is designed to leave a visible indication if someone attempts to remove it. Instead of quietly peeling away, the tape reveals a clear VOID message, making it immediately obvious that the seal has been broken. This allows businesses to identify potential tampering before products reach the end user. The STIKON security tape range includes solutions for different packaging requirements. The Economy version provides a plain VOID security tape suitable for everyday carton sealing, while the Premium range has been developed for more demanding applications. Premi...
