Tamper Evident Labels for Shipping Containers

Protecting What Moves the World.

Secure global shipments with permanent, traceable tamper evident labels built for international container transit.

Tamper Evident Container Labels

Shipping containers move high-value cargo across continents — but between ports, borders, and customs checks, they’re vulnerable to tampering, theft, and unauthorised entry. Our Tamper Evident Container Labels give you a fast, visible, and irreversible way to secure containers, trailers, drums, and air freight during global transit.

Engineered for harsh logistics environments and trusted by logistics, defence, and border teams, these labels create a visible chain of custody from origin to delivery — helping you comply with international shipping protocols and protect cargo from interference.

Why Choose Tamper Evident Container Labels?

These labels are security devices. Designed to leave a VOID or OPENED message if removed, slit, or tampered with, our container seals provide instant visual proof of interference.

Whether applied to sealed doors, latches, hatches, bolts, or drum lids, they form a permanent bond and leave behind clear tamper evidence if breached. No guesswork. No grey areas.

Key Features

Permanent Tamper Evidence

Once applied, labels cannot be removed or repositioned without leaving behind a permanent “VOID” or “OPENED” warning message — even if the adhesive is slit or scraped.

Dual Number Tabs (DNT)

Each label includes two matching serial number tabs for shipping records:

  • One tab stays with the shipment

  • The second is affixed to a Bill of Lading, manifest, or customs document
    This adds a simple yet powerful cross-checking tool for auditing and tracking.

Fully Customisable for Your Operation

  • Label size: 320mm x 90mm + 2 x 25mm x 90mm tabs

  • Print options: Custom colours, warning messages, logos, barcodes, QR codes

  • Writable surface for manual sign-off with pen

  • Available in high-tack permanent or non-residue adhesives (for reusable surfaces)

Designed for Global Compliance

  • Works on steel containers, plastic drums, painted or powder-coated surfaces

  • Withstands extreme weather, heat, salt air, and condensation

  • Ideal for exporters, bonded storage, customs checks, and secure freight corridors

How They Work

  1. Apply the label to a clean, dry surface of the container, latch, or drum. Wether using self seal or apply to surface type.

  2. Label instantly bonds to the material — no tools required

  3. If removed, slit, or disturbed in any way, a “VOID” message appears

  4. Check serial numbers across both receipt tabs and documents

  5. On arrival, any evidence of tampering is instantly visible for inspection

A clear, quick, and trackable seal for every container.

Real-World Example: Container Tamper Alert in Transit

A UK-based logistics provider shipping bonded pharmaceuticals to the Middle East implemented TamperTech container labels after experiencing undetected seal breaches with traditional plastic ties.

After rollout:

  • Customs clearance times improved by 41%

  • One attempted breach detected early, saving £38,000 in stock

  • Shipping documentation became more transparent and verifiable

  • The company adopted TamperTech labels across all international shipments

Tamper evidence gave them more than protection — it gave them control.
