When goods are transported or stored away from the business that supplied them, there is often no practical way to monitor the package continuously. Security tamper evident tape provides a straightforward way to make interference visible. Instead of simply holding a carton closed, the tape is designed to show evidence if somebody attempts to open it.

STIKON supplies S-VOID security tapes for boxes, cartons and pallets. The range includes Economy and Premium options, along with Premium versions featuring sequential numbers and perforations. Each is intended to provide visible tamper evidence while helping maintain the integrity of packaged goods.

How Tamper-Evident Tape Works

The principle is simple. The package is sealed using the security tape, and the original seal remains visible while it is intact. If the tape is removed, a VOID message appears, providing a clear indication that the packaging has been opened or interfered with.

STIKON's Premium security tape uses strong PET backing and an acrylic adhesive system. It is suitable for cardboard and many plastic surfaces, including PP containers and pallet wrapping film. The tape is designed to withstand both high and low temperatures and is suitable for goods kept in storage or moved through transport networks.

For applications where identification is important, STIKON's Premium security seal tape includes sequential numbering and a SECURITY SEAL top print. The tape is perforated every 150mm, making individual sections easier to tear from the roll.

Choosing Between Security Tape Options

Different shipments have different packaging requirements. STIKON's Economy S-VOID tape provides a cost-effective option for sealing paper and cardboard packaging and leaves a VOID OPENED message when removed. It comes without top printing and is supplied in 50mm x 50m rolls.

The Premium versions offer additional features for businesses that need a more robust security solution. Depending on the product, customers can choose coloured tape, security printing, sequential numbering and perforations.

The purpose is not limited to preventing access. Tamper-evident packaging also gives the receiving party a quick visual check. If the security tape is intact, the package has not shown visible evidence of interference. If the VOID message has appeared, the recipient knows that further inspection may be appropriate. STIKON notes that this reassurance can be valuable in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, fashion and beverages.

Security labels provide another option alongside tape. STIKON supplies no-residue and total-transfer tamper-evident labels in different sizes, including transparent labels for smaller packaging.

For businesses looking for security tamper evident tape, the most suitable product depends on the packaging material, handling conditions and level of security evidence required. STIKON's range offers several practical choices, from straightforward carton sealing through to numbered and perforated security solutions.
