Tamper evidence tape Options

The most common type of tape people seem to be looking for today is often called VOID tape or tamper evidence tape. When the tamper evidence tape is peeled away it leaves behind an adhesive residue that displays a VOID or OPENED message. This type of tamper evidence tape can be used to seal cartons, drums, doors, and anything really. While this is the most expensive tamper evidence tape option, there are different brands on the market, and prices differ.

While all tamper evidence tape work on the same premise of leaving behind a message when peeled away, the adhesives and release properties vary. For example we tested a tamper evidence tape from the leading manufacturer in Asia. The product worked OK on smoother or coated cartons, but would not work on recycled cartons. Recycled cartons shed their fiber more easily and therefore require a very sensitive “break away" or "release" product. In fact we tested four other US brands and only one brand consistently worked on recycled boxes, and even wood. This brand of tamper evidence tape contains a sensitive transfer adhesive, that leaves behind most if not all of its adhesive; roll edges are dry to promote easier handling and shelf life. The other tamper evidence tape are not as sensitive and simply peel the boxes fiber away when pulled in those cases it will pay to simply use an inexpensive carton sealing tamper evidence tape. However, for smooth or coated surfaces, all products tested ok.
