Product range

Sortiment an manipulationssicheren Klebebändern

TamperTech’s tamper evident tape range is designed to make interference visible, protecting products, places and people.

Every tape in the range seals the pack and leaves clear, permanent evidence if it is opened. Removal reveals a void or tampered message on both the carton and the tape itself, so the seal cannot be realigned or resealed without being obvious to the next person handling it.

Choose from stock plastic-based permanent tape for fast turnaround, FSC certified paper tape where materials need to match cardboard packaging, bespoke printed tape with your own message and security features, and heavy duty pallet security tape.


4 tape constructions • Self-wound, liner-free • UK manufactured • Custom print, numbering & variable data

Choosing a tape

Which tamper evident tape should you use?

Every tape here seals a carton. What separates them is the signal left behind, who is expected to read it, and whether the outer has to stay in one paper recycling stream. Work through the four decisions below and the specification usually resolves itself.

1. What should the tape leave behind?

  • Full transfer (permanent) — the security message transfers onto the carton when the tape is lifted, so the evidence stays with the pack even if the tape is removed and discarded. This is what most people mean by VOID tape, and it is held in stock as standard full transfer VOID tape.
  • Non-transfer / clean removal — the message stays on the tape and the surface is left unmarked. Right where the outer is reused or must not be marked.
  • If the carton is discarded after opening, transfer behaviour matters less than whether the receiver notices at all — which is the next decision.

2. Who reads the seal — and where?

  • Overt — the security message is visible on the roll and again after removal. An untrained receiver, a customer or a courier can spot interference without being briefed.
  • Covert — nothing obvious on the roll; the message appears only on removal. Suited to checks made by your own trained team rather than in public view.
  • Overt deters. Covert detects. Where a pack passes through third-party hands and is then checked internally, the two are often specified together on different closures.

3. Paper or film carrier?

  • Film — the predictable choice for moisture, wash-down, chilled transit and automatic case sealers, with the widest range of standard widths, lengths and stock colours.
  • Paper — for outers that must stay in a single paper recycling stream, or where a packaging specification calls for a paper-based seal. Tears by hand without a blade.
  • Paper is a recycling and handling decision. It is not, by itself, a higher level of security — the tamper evidence still comes from the message revealed on removal.

4. Does the seal need to be identifiable?

  • Sequential numbering — pairs the seal with a recorded number, so a whole roll swapped for a similar one is detectable, not just a lifted seal.
  • Custom security message and print — your own wording, brand or warning in the transferred message, printed as UV flexographic spot colour to a Pantone reference.
  • Continuous perforated — lengths torn to the pack without cutting tools on the bench.
  • Numbering only carries weight where the number is captured at seal and verified at receipt.

Before the specification is fixed

Test on the real packSeal a filled carton in your own board grade, including recycled kraft and any varnished or printed area — not a flat blank.
Allow your real dwell timeAttempt removal after the interval your dispatch process actually gives the seal, not after 24 hours on a bench.
Test the conditions it will meetCold, warm, damp and stacked. Transfer and bond behaviour change with temperature and surface condition.
Check the message is readableConfirm the VOID or custom message reads clearly against your carton colour and print before it is signed off.
Run your own application methodHand gun, bench or case sealer, at line speed, with the gloves and pace your team uses.

Tamper evident tape evidences interference with the seal. It does not certify the contents, count or condition of a carton, and it is not tamper-proof — the value is a clear, checkable signal that cannot be quietly undone.

Why it matters

Tamper evidence across the product journey

From manufacturing and storage to transport and reaching the end consumer, there is always a risk of tampering, and that risk is growing. Tamper evident tape leaves clear, permanent evidence if a pack is interfered with, providing an audit trail for investigation.

Product contamination

Tampering can ruin a product’s integrity, leading to contamination and potential harm to consumers.

Financial losses

Theft of valuable products or counterfeiting can significantly impact finances, from replacing stolen goods through to loss of business.

Brand damage

News of tampering incidents can destroy consumer trust and damage a brand’s reputation.

Application matters as much as construction. Tape can be applied by hand, with a dispenser or gun, or on an automated case sealer — and surface energy, temperature and carton substrate all affect the bond. If you are unsure how a tape will behave on your line, tell us the pack and the process.

Questions

Tamper evident tape FAQs

Constructions, self-wound tape, surface energy, printing methods and application explained.

Was ist maßgeschneidertes manipulationssicheres Klebeband?

Our standard tamper-evident tape is a security tape that provides a clear indication if a package has been opened or tampered with. Once applied, any attempt to remove or manipulate the tape will leave behind a visible message, such as "VOID" or "OPENED," making it ideal for securing shipments and sensitive packages. If you're looking for a more custom solution, feel free to check out our Custom Tamper Evident Tape page for more information.

Wie funktioniert das Sortiment an manipulationssicheren Klebebändern?

Manipulationssicheres Klebeband hinterlässt Rückstände oder eine versteckte Botschaft auf der Verpackung und dem Klebeband selbst, wenn jemand versucht, es zu entfernen. Diese Rückstände oder Botschaften lassen sich nicht wieder glätten oder verschließen und dienen somit als eindeutiges Anzeichen für eine Manipulation.

Was sind die Vorteile der Verwendung von individuell gestalteten manipulationssicheren Klebebändern?

Using tamper evident tape shows whether a package has been opened or interfered with in transit, alerting recipients to potential tampering. It is essential for protecting valuable or sensitive items during shipping, enhancing security, and providing peace of mind.

Welche Arten von manipulationssicherem Klebeband bietet Tamper Technologies an?

Tampertech offers a variety of tamper evident tapes, including tapes with different adhesives, colors, and tamper-indicating messages. Most notably please view our Paper Tamper Evident tapes to integrate in to your cardboard or paper packaging. Our products are suitable for a wide range of applications, from pharmaceuticals to electronics and confidential documents. Feel free to have a look the tapes we have above. If you're looking for a solution for smaller bags, we also offer our tamper evident tape for security bags.

Was ist selbstwickelndes Klebeband?

Selbstaufrollendes manipulationssicheres Klebeband (die Spezialität von TamperTech) bietet mehrere Vorteile:

  • Weniger Abfall: Da kein Einlegebeutel benötigt wird, fällt weniger Material an, das entsorgt werden muss.
  • Effizienter Versand: Mehr Klebeband pro Rolle, da keine Trägerfolie erforderlich ist.
  • Einfachere Verarbeitung: Dank der speziellen Antihaftbeschichtung lässt sich das Produkt sowohl von Hand als auch maschinell gut verarbeiten.

Was ist Oberflächenenergie?

Surface energy plays a role in choosing tamper evidence because it affects how well the tamper evident material adheres to the surface it’s applied to. Here’s how:

  • Starke Haftung für mehr Sicherheit: Manipulationssichere Materialien müssen eine starke Haftung auf der Oberfläche bilden, die sie sichern. Eine hohe Oberflächenenergie sowohl des Materials als auch der Unterlage sorgt für eine starke Klebewirkung, wodurch es schwierig wird, die Manipulationssicherung zu entfernen, ohne Schäden zu verursachen.
  • Auf die Kompatibilität kommt es an: Verschiedene Materialien weisen unterschiedliche Oberflächenenergien auf. Die Wahl eines manipulationssicheren Materials, dessen Oberflächenenergie mit der der Zieloberfläche kompatibel ist, gewährleistet eine optimale Haftung.

Und hier ist der Grund, warum Oberflächenenergie wichtig ist:

  • Resists clean removal: A strong bond makes it difficult to remove the tamper evidence cleanly, so any removal attempt leaves a clear indication of tampering.
  • Gewährleistet die Wirksamkeit: Durch die richtige Haftung bleibt die Manipulationssicherung während der gesamten vorgesehenen Nutzungsdauer sicher, selbst unter schwierigen Bedingungen.

Not all tamper evidence relies solely on high surface energy. Some might use additional features like security cuts or water-sensitive inks to evidence tampering even if the bond is broken.

Wie bringe ich maßgeschneiderte Sicherheitsbänder richtig an?

So bringen Sie Sicherheitsklebeband richtig an:

  1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass die Oberfläche sauber und trocken ist.
  2. Messen Sie das Klebeband ab und schneiden Sie es auf die gewünschte Länge zu.
  3. Drücken Sie das Klebeband fest auf die Oberfläche und achten Sie darauf, dass keine Luftblasen entstehen.
  4. Sobald das Klebeband angebracht ist, lässt es sich nicht mehr entfernen, ohne dass Spuren einer Manipulation sichtbar werden.

Kann Manipulationssicherungsband individuell gestaltet werden?

Ja, bei Tampertech bieten wir individuelle Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für maßgeschneiderte manipulationssichere Klebebänder an, darunter individuelle Beschriftungen, Logos und Farben, um spezifische Sicherheitsanforderungen zu erfüllen und die Markenpräsenz zu stärken.

Wo kann manipulationssicheres Klebeband eingesetzt werden?

Bespoke tamper evident tapes are versatile and can be used in various industries, including logistics, retail, pharmaceuticals, and any sector requiring secure packaging solutions. It is ideal for sealing cartons, crates, envelopes, and other containers that need to show evidence of opening or interference.

Was ist Sub-Surface-Druck?

Untergrunddruck: Dieser Druck ist in die Klebeschicht des Klebebands eingebettet.

Erst wenn das Klebeband entfernt wird, kommt eine „Leermeldung“ zum Vorschein, oft begleitet von einer auf die Oberfläche gedruckten Botschaft.

Auf diese Weise lässt sich nachvollziehen, welches Paket manipuliert wurde und möglicherweise auch, wo die Manipulation stattgefunden hat (da die Meldung nicht gelöscht werden kann).

Was ist Oberflächendruck?

Surface printing: This is the standard printing on the top layer of the tape, visible before tampering. It can include logos, warnings, QR codes to drive brand awareness or instructions.

Was ist ein Sicherheitsaudit?

Das Sicherheitsaudit von TamperTech konzentriert sich auf die Bewertung der Wirksamkeit von manipulationssicheren Produkten, die in bestehende Prozesse integriert werden. Dabei werden Faktoren wie die folgenden bewertet:

  • Materialfestigkeit: Prüfung der manipulationssicheren Materialien, um sicherzustellen, dass sie fest genug sind, um Manipulationsversuchen standzuhalten.

Terminology

Anti tamper, tamper proof, tamper evident: the same requirement

Buyers search for anti tamper tape, anti tamper labels and tamper proof tape. In almost every case that is the same requirement we describe as tamper evident: a seal that cannot be lifted and put back without leaving a visible, permanent record. Tamper evident is the accurate description, because a tape or a label does not prevent access to a pack — it makes access impossible to hide. If you need the distinction in full, it is set out in tamper evident vs tamper proof.

01

Full transfer

The film lifts and a VOID or custom security message transfers into the carton or pallet wrap as well as staying on the tape. Both surfaces carry the record, so it reads at a glance on the pack.

02

Non-residue

The message appears on the tape only and nothing is left on the surface underneath. Used where the pack, container or asset must not be marked.

03

Paper carrier

A kerbside-recyclable paper tape with a dry-peel VOID reveal, for cartons that have to go into paper recycling whole.

Where to look next: tape and box or pallet sealing terms belong on this page; for anti tamper labels and security label terms see the tamper evident label range; for cash, evidence and duty-free bag sealing see the security bag closure tape (cash, evidence and duty-free bags).
