Security Labels

TAMPER SEALS USING ULTRA DESTRUCTIBLE MATERIALS, TYPICALLY PVC (VINYL) OR ACETATE, ARE ONE OF THE MOST BASIC AND ESTABLISHED TECHNIQUES TO ENSURE THAT A LABEL CANNOT BE REMOVED AND RE-APPLIED AT ALL.

The technique works by using a very weak and brittle substrate and aggressive adhesive to ensure that the label disintegrates into many components if any attempt is made to remove it.

This is still a useful material for some applications, provided that the application does not require the label to exhibit any shear strength, and the label and surface is not exposed to movement.
