Etiquetas de seguridad para productos cosméticos
Cosmetics packs are opened, handled and returned more than most retail products. A security label makes that history visible.
Cartons, palettes, jars and gift sets pass through fulfilment, retail display and returns handling. A tamper evident label across the closure records whether a pack was opened before the customer received it, and whether a returned pack is still the original sealed unit.

The problem
Where cosmetics packs lose their integrity
Most losses are quiet. They happen at the points where a pack is out of sight of both the brand and the customer.
01
Opened in the supply chain
Sampling, pilferage and swapping of high-value palettes and fragrance sets happen between packing and shelf. Without evidence on the closure, an opened carton looks identical to a sealed one.
02
Returned but not intact
A returned pack may have been used, decanted or substituted. Retail and e-commerce teams need a visible way to separate genuinely unopened returns from used ones.
03
Reuse of branded packaging
Empty branded cartons have resale value. A void-forming seal makes reuse of the original pack obvious instead of convenient.
What interference reveals
Intact, interfered with, evidence
The label is applied across the closure. Lifting it releases the void pattern, so the evidence stays visible rather than depending on someone noticing a lifted flap.
Product routes
Constructions used on cosmetics packs
The right construction depends on the substrate, whether the pack must stay saleable, and where the evidence should remain.
Non-residue labels
Removes cleanly from cartons and gift boxes while still voiding. Used where the pack must stay presentable through retail display and returns handling.
Permanent labels
Where the seal should stay put and the pack is not intended to be reopened and resold.
Custom and speciality print
Brand colour, logo, sequential numbering, barcodes and QR codes so a seal can be reconciled against an order or returns record.
