Security Tamper Evident Seals

Whether you are securing an asset, sealing a bag, carton or container there are many options that Designed To Stick can give you to highlight evidence of tampering. Our high quality, strong, durable security labels and tapes allow you to quickly detect if there has been any un-authorised access to a sealed opening.

We have off-the-shelf various size options of tamper evident labels and tamper evident rolls of tape. Custom printing of barcodes, sequential numbers company name, warnings etc can be added.

With a tamper evident label applied to a product, it can be easily identified if an attempt has been made to open packaging that is displayed in store or evidence of tampering that may void return of goods or service warranty. Warranty voiding can also be evidenced by using the security labels directly on electronic equipment.

For businesses offering online ordering, we have label options for you to use as a security seal on parcels and even food deliveries for customer peace of mind that the products have been secure throughout its travel.

To ensure continuity of evidence and traceability, our tamper evident products are used by Police and Forensic departments around Australia.
