Life Vest Seals

Sealing life vest stowages so a pre-flight check becomes a look, not a search.

Life vest stowages have to be confirmed before every departure. Opening and physically inspecting each one is slow, and a stowage that has been opened between checks leaves no trace of its own.

A numbered seal across the stowage closure gives crew a single visible answer. If the seal is intact and its number matches, the stowage has not been opened since it was last verified.

What interference should reveal

Untouched since the last check

01

Sealed and numbered

The seal closes the stowage and its number is recorded against the seat row or position.

02

Interference attempted

Security cuts mean the seal tears at a known point, so it cannot be lifted and replaced.

03

Evidence remains

The seal voids visibly and cannot be reinstated, so an opened stowage is found on a walk-through rather than in an emergency.

Real evidence

Voided, opened, and verified

Product routes

Constructions used for this application

Non-residue labels

Void within the label and leave the stowage and cabin trim clean when removed. Non-residue labels.

Numbering

Consecutive numbers so each seal ties to a position and a check. Custom labels.

UV and bespoke void text

Covert UV features and airline-specific void messages where verification needs to go beyond a visual check.

Application and integration

Getting it onto the aircraft

Applying and replacing

Seals are supplied on rolls sized to the stowage closure so cabin or engineering teams can reseal quickly after an authorised inspection.

Surfaces

Cabin trim, plastic and textile-faced stowages behave differently. Confirm the surface so the construction voids as intended and lifts cleanly.

Check routine

The pre-flight check becomes: seal present, number as recorded, seal undisturbed. Exceptions are logged and the stowage inspected.

Approvals

Seals support your own safety-equipment procedures. Confirm placement and materials with your engineering and regulatory teams before rollout.
