Security Tamper Evident Tape – Adding Confidence to Every Shipment

Sending products to customers is only part of the job. Making sure they arrive exactly as they left your premises is just as important. Whether goods are travelling across the country or being stored before dispatch, businesses want to know that their packaging hasn't been opened along the way. Using security tamper evident tape is a simple way to provide that reassurance.

Unlike standard packaging tape, tamper-evident tape is designed to leave a visible indication if someone attempts to remove it. Instead of quietly peeling away, the tape reveals a clear VOID message, making it immediately obvious that the seal has been broken. This allows businesses to identify potential tampering before products reach the end user.

The STIKON security tape range includes solutions for different packaging requirements. The Economy version provides a plain VOID security tape suitable for everyday carton sealing, while the Premium range has been developed for more demanding applications. Premium tapes are suitable for cardboard, paper envelopes, laminates, plastics and PP containers, making them a practical option for businesses handling a variety of packaging materials.

For organisations that require additional control, STIKON also offers Premium Security Seal tape with sequential numbering and perforations every 150mm. These features make individual seals easier to identify while supporting internal tracking procedures and improving packaging security.

One of the advantages of security tamper evident tape is that it works as both a deterrent and an indicator. The printed security message discourages unauthorised access, while the visible VOID message confirms if interference has taken place. This provides confidence throughout storage, transport and final delivery.

Every business has different packaging requirements, so choosing the right security tape depends on the products being shipped and the level of protection needed. Having a choice of economy and premium solutions allows companies to select a tape that matches their day-to-day operations.

Protecting goods doesn't always require complicated security systems. Sometimes, a reliable packaging tape is enough to highlight unwanted access before products reach the customer. STIKON's range of security tapes has been developed to provide dependable tamper-evident protection while helping businesses package goods with greater confidence.

Why Security Tamper Evident Tape Matters for Secure Packaging

Keeping products secure during storage and delivery is an important part of protecting both your business and your customers. Whether cartons are stored in a warehouse or transported across the country, it is essential to know if a package has been opened before it reaches its destination. This is where security tamper evident tape can make a real difference.

STIKON's security tape range has been developed to provide a simple and effective way to seal cartons and pallets while offering clear evidence if tampering has taken place. Once the tape is removed, it reveals a visible VOID message, making it easy to identify whether a package has been opened.

Rather than simply sealing a box, security tamper evident tape acts as both a deterrent and a reassurance of product integrity. The visible security feature discourages unauthorised access and helps businesses maintain confidence throughout the supply chain.

STIKON offers three versions to suit different requirements. The Economy range is a plain VOID tamper-evident packaging tape available in red or blue and is suitable for sealing cartons during storage or transit. For applications that require additional durability, the Premium range has been designed to work on cardboard, plastics, including PP containers, and pallet wrap. It is supplied with a black SECURITY TAPE top print for added visibility.

Where additional traceability is required, the Premium Numbered and Perforated version includes a SECURITY SEAL top print together with sequential numbering and perforations every 150mm. This provides an additional level of identification for businesses handling valuable or sensitive goods.

Choosing the right tape depends on the type of packaging and the level of security required. Having different options available allows businesses to select a solution that matches their everyday packaging needs while maintaining confidence that any interference will be clearly visible.

For companies that regularly dispatch products, a dependable sealing solution is an important part of the packaging process. Security tamper evident tape not only helps protect shipments but also provides reassurance to customers that goods have arrived without unauthorised access.

With options designed for different applications and packaging materials, STIKON's security tape range offers a practical solution for businesses looking to improve packaging security while keeping the sealing process straightforward and reliable.
