Why Security Matters in OEM Supply Chains
The OEM industry — from electronics and automotive to machinery and aerospace — is under increasing threat from counterfeit components, warranty abuse, and unauthorised access. The consequences? Financial loss, safety risks, and reputational damage.
$1.2 Trillion Annual Losses
Counterfeiting in the OEM sector is estimated to cost manufacturers over $1.2 trillion globally each year.
36,000+ Fatalities Linked to Fakes
According to the WHO, counterfeit automotive parts have caused over 36,000 deaths and 1.5 million injuries worldwide.
83% Demand Better Supply Chain Experience
OEM customers expect security and traceability as standard — from factory floor to installation.
Rapid Global Demand Growth
As global populations grow, OEMs face new pressures to scale production — without compromising security.
Case Study: OEM Electronics Firm Stops Warranty Fraud in 3 Months
A multinational electronics OEM was losing thousands in false warranty claims from customers returning tampered or non-genuine units. TamperTech created a custom destructible warranty label with sub-surface serial numbers and UV text for authentication.
The results:
Warranty fraud reduced by 92%
Customer service resolution times cut by 40%
Improved reseller accountability
Easy label authentication by service techs without tools

Best Practices for OEM Packaging Security
Implementing tamper evident solutions is just one step — embedding them into your operations is key to success. Follow these proven best practices to get the most from your packaging security investments:
1. Apply Security Measures at Multiple Levels
Use layered security: combine tamper evident tape for outer cartons, security seals for pallets, and warranty labels on internal components. This multi-tiered approach helps maintain product integrity throughout the supply chain.
2. Standardise Use Across All Distribution Points
Ensure every production site, contract manufacturer, and distributor applies the same tamper evident labels and tapes to prevent weak links in your chain. Standardisation is key for brand consistency and enforcement.
3. Use Serialized Labels for Traceability
Opt for labels with unique serial numbers, barcodes, or QR codes. These allow you to track shipments, verify authenticity, and provide a transparent audit trail in case of returns, warranty claims, or investigations.
4. Train Staff on Application and Inspection
Make sure warehouse and logistics teams are trained to correctly apply and visually inspect tamper evident labels. Quick visual checks can prevent damaged or tampered goods from reaching customers.
5. Test Labels in Real-World Conditions
Different adhesives perform differently depending on surfaces, temperatures, or humidity. Conduct field testing to ensure adhesion and VOID functionality work across your full range of products and packaging materials.
6. Monitor & Log Security Events
Use tamper evident data — such as broken seals or triggered VOID messages — to review incidents, improve handling practices, and reduce losses or counterfeit risks over time.
