Cash & Valuables in Transit (CVIT) Security
Tamper evidence for cash bags, coin bags, ATM cassettes, reusable pouches, boxes, doors and handovers, so interference becomes visible at every stage of a CVIT operation.
Cash and valuables in transit is a handover business. Each bag, cassette or pouch changes hands several times, and the practical question is always the same: can the next person see whether it has been opened? Tamper evident labels and tapes do not physically secure a vehicle or a vault. They make interference visible, deter casual access and give you something to check and record at each stage. The terms cash in transit (CIT) and cash and valuables in transit (CVIT) are used interchangeably in the sector; we use CVIT on this page.

Where it fits
Where tamper evidence fits in a CVIT operation
At the point of sealing
A bag, cassette or pouch is sealed and the seal is recorded, so its condition at the start of the journey is known.
Through transport
A visible seal deters opportunistic access and shows handlers that any interference will be noticed.
At every handover
Each receiving party can check the seal in seconds without opening the container.
At reconciliation
Numbered or coded seals can be matched back to the route, the run and the person who applied them.
On investigation
Where a discrepancy is raised, the seal shows whether the container was opened before it was received.
Alongside other controls
Seals support armoured transport, monitoring and trained personnel rather than replacing any of them.
Tamper behaviour
What the seal actually does
Tamper evidence is engineered into the construction, not the print. Removal separates the layers so a void message or pattern appears and the seal cannot be reapplied unnoticed. It reveals and deters interference; it does not prevent access.
01
Sealed and recorded
The seal is applied and its number or code is recorded against the container and the run.
02
Interference attempted
Any attempt to lift, peel or heat the seal separates the construction.
03
Evidence revealed
An irreversible message appears, the seal cannot be reused, and the check point records a breach.
Key applications
Cash and valuables in transit applications
Sealing points across the cash cycle, from cassette to pouch to vehicle.
ATM Cassette Security
Numbered seals on cassettes so any access between fill and load can be identified.
View solution →
Reusable Pouch Sealing
Seals for reusable cash pouches that release cleanly so the pouch stays in service.
View solution →
Vehicle and Door Labels
Seals on vehicle doors, safes and compartments to evidence access during a route.
View solution →
Coin and Cash Bag Sealing
Bag tape used to seal coin and cash bags, with security levels to suit the risk.

Specification and application considerations
Substrate and surface
Cassette plastics, powder coated metal, vehicle paintwork, pouch films and woven bag materials all behave differently. Constructions are specified to the surface and tested on your own material before supply.
Residue
Non residue constructions leave the surface clean, which matters on cassettes, pouches and vehicles that stay in service. Permanent constructions leave a transferred message where that evidence is wanted.
Operating conditions
Temperature, humidity, handling and outdoor exposure all affect adhesion and void behaviour. Cold and low temperature adhesives are available where seals are applied in unheated environments.
Traceability
Sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes and hidden UV print can be added so a seal can be matched to a route, run or operative.
Application method
Most CVIT sealing is by hand at the point of preparation. Where labels are applied in volume, formats and roll specifications can be matched to an applicator.
Verification in the field
Seals are designed to be checked in seconds by eye. UV features need a UV torch at the check point, so decide where verification happens before specifying them.

Customisation
Numbering, barcodes, UV features, void messaging and branding specified to your process.
Next step
Cash security applications rarely fail because of the label alone
Put your CVIT application through the Security Lab
Send us the cassette, pouch, bag, closure or application details and we can assess the substrate, tamper behaviour, application method and operating conditions together.
Request samples or discuss your requirement
If you already know the construction you need, tell us the format and volume and we will send samples and a quotation.
