Tamper-evident labels are an important means of stopping fraudulent activity. A good example of this can be seen on high value appliances. A unique serial number can be printed onto a special destructible labelstock which will fragment into tiny pieces if removal is attempted. By doing this, it prevents transferral of the label onto another appliance. With careful label positioning over a seal or screw-hole, it is possible to use the label as a means of testing the invalidation of a warranty. It provides evidence of opening by unauthorised persons. An alternative to this is the voiding label which, if removed, will result in the word ‘VOID’ appearing on both the label and product, thereby rendering the label unusable and providing indication of product tampering. There are also different wording variations and patterns available. We manufacture security labels to your design, using a range of special security materials. Applications include asset labels, tamper seals and anti counterfeit labels.We have many years experience within this market place and can produce tamper proof labels incorporating other features such as customised hot foil text and logos, optically variable devices such as holographic images and serialised/variable barcodes along with security cuts. We offer many security labels from stock, please contact us for further details and samples.

Security Labels FAQs

What is a tamper proof asset label?

A tamper-proof asset label is a specialised type of security label designed to indicate unauthorised interference or tampering with an asset or product. When an attempt is made to remove or alter this label, it will display visible signs of tampering, such as leaving a “VOID” mark on the surface or disintegrating into tiny pieces. This ensures that any unauthorised access or modifications to the asset can be quickly identified. Tamper-proof asset labels are commonly used by businesses to protect valuable equipment, sensitive information, and to ensure the integrity of their products.

What is the difference between tamper proof, tamper evident and void labels?

A tamper-proof label is designed with durability in mind. It’s not just about indicating tampering; it’s about preventing it. When someone tries to remove or alter this label, it’s likely to get damaged, making tampering evident. Its robust nature makes it a favourite for situations demanding a strong adhesive bond.

On the other hand, tamper-evident labels focus on revealing any interference. They can be removed, but not without a trace. Whether they leave behind patterns like “VOID” or “OPENED”, or simply disintegrate upon tampering, they ensure that any unauthorised access is immediately noticeable. These labels are a common sight on product packages, high-end equipment, and documents where integrity is paramount.

Void labels, a specific type of tamper-evident label, have a distinct feature. When removed, they leave a clear “VOID” mark on the surface, ensuring the label can’t be reapplied without revealing that the product has been tampered with. This feature is especially valuable for electronic devices and products with warranties, as it clearly indicates if the product has been accessed or altered.

What are the top 10 products you find tamper proof labels on?

Tamper-proof labels are found on a variety of products across different industries to ensure three things; security, authenticity, and integrity. Here are some our top 10 applications:

Electronics and Gadgets: Mobile phones, laptops, and other electronic devices often have tamper-proof labels over screws or access points to indicate if the device has been opened, which can be crucial for warranty claims.

Pharmaceuticals: Medication bottles and packaging to ensure the product hasn’t been tampered with, ensuring patient safety.

Food and Beverage: Packaging for perishable items or premium products to guarantee freshness and prevent contamination.

Cosmetics and Personal Care: Products like creams, lotions, and perfumes to ensure product integrity and prevent counterfeiting.

Automotive Parts: On parts or components to indicate if they’ve been accessed or replaced, ensuring vehicle safety and performance.

High-Value Retail Items: On packaging of luxury goods, watches, and jewellery to deter theft and confirm authenticity.

Secure Documents: On envelopes containing confidential or sensitive documents to indicate if they’ve been accessed without authorisation.

Software and Media: On software CDs, DVDs, or video game cases to prevent piracy and ensure the buyer receives a genuine product.

Chemicals and Industrial Products: On containers or packaging to ensure the contents haven’t been altered or contaminated.

Safety Equipment: On products like fire extinguishers or safety gear to ensure they remain in their original, safe condition.

What customisation options are there for tamper security labels?

Tamper-proof labels offer a range of customisation options to align with brand aesthetics and specific needs. Businesses can tailor the label’s size, shape, and colour, incorporating unique designs or logos. The material and adhesive type can be chosen based on the product’s environment, ensuring durability and proper adhesion. Advanced printing options, such as holography or UV printing, enhance visual appeal, while unique serial numbers or barcodes aid in tracking and authentication. Additional security features, like UV-visible marks or custom tamper indicators like “VOID”, can be added for increased protection. For tech-savvy solutions, interactive elements like NFC or RFID chips can be embedded. Collaborating with a professional label manufacturer ensures these customisations effectively bolster both branding and security.
