Aircraft Cabin Door Tamper Evident Labels
Sealing cabin doors and emergency exits so any access during turnaround, ground handling or a layover is visible at the next check.
An aircraft on the ground is accessed by cleaning, catering, engineering and handling teams. Between the last check and the next one, no one can say with certainty whether a door or exit has been opened.
A numbered non-residue seal across the door edge answers that question physically. Intact and matching means nothing has moved. Broken or renumbered means an exception, raised before the aircraft is accepted.
What interference should reveal
Sealed, opened, evidenced
01
Sealed and recorded
The label is applied across the door or exit joint and its consecutive number is entered in the check record.
02
Door moved
Because the seal bridges the moving joint, the door cannot open without breaking it.
03
Evidence remains
The label voids and cannot be re-applied. Surfaces are left clean, so a new seal goes straight on.
Real evidence
Applied, and after the door is opened
Product routes
Constructions used for this application
Non-residue labels
Chosen for aircraft interiors because they void within the label and leave the door surface clean, avoiding residue removal on a turnaround. Non-residue labels.
Security cuts
Cuts in the label mean it tears rather than lifting cleanly, so partial interference still registers.
Numbering and covert features
Consecutive numbers for the check record, plus UV or bespoke void text where an additional verification step is wanted. Custom labels.
Application and integration
Getting it onto the aircraft
Where to place the seal
Across the door or exit joint, on surfaces agreed with your engineering team. Placement must not obstruct door operation, placards or emergency egress — we supply formats to a size and position you have signed off.
Surfaces and removal
Cabin interiors are finished surfaces. Non-residue constructions are specified so a seal can be removed by hand without solvent or scraping, and the next seal applied immediately.
Recording checks
Each seal number is recorded against the aircraft, station and check. A new seal after an authorised opening is logged as a new number, keeping the trail continuous.
Approvals
Tamper evident seals support your own security and turnaround procedures. Where a seal is used on aircraft equipment, placement and materials should be confirmed with your engineering and regulatory teams before rollout.
