Tamper Evident & Tamper‑Proof Packaging Solutions For Every Industry
In today’s global marketplace, ensuring the integrity, security, and authenticity of your products is more critical than ever. At TamperTech, we specialize in tamper‑evident and tamper‑proof packaging solutions that prevent unauthorized access, prevent counterfeiting, and safeguard brand reputation across electronics, retail, pharmaceuticals, food, logistics sectors and more.
Our unique tapes, labels, and seals are engineered to reveal any attempts at interference – providing your teams and your customers with absolute confidence from warehouse to doorstep.
The growing need for tamper‑evident packaging
Global supply chains are increasingly complex, crossing multiple borders, storage environments, and handling teams. Every touchpoint introduces the risk of product diversion, theft, or silent tampering that goes unnoticed until it’s too late. Whether you ship high value electronics, temperature sensitive pharmaceuticals, or premium consumer goods, the cost of packaging failure can be measured in lost revenue, regulatory fines, and irreparable brand damage.
Key challenges businesses face without effective tamper evident measures:
Unseen breaches: Traditional packaging often conceals signs of opening, allowing bad actors to access and reseal products without visible evidence.
Counterfeit infiltration: Generic labels and standard tape are easily replicated, making it simple for counterfeiters to mimic genuine packaging.
Regulatory exposure: Industries such as pharmaceuticals and food are bound by strict regulations – anything less than full traceability and clear breach evidence can result in non‑compliance penalties.
Customer trust erosion: A single packaging failure can lead to product recalls, warranty claims, and social media outcry, undermining years of brand equity.
Operational disruptions: Investigations into unexplained losses divert valuable resources away from core business operations.
By choosing tamper evident packaging solutions, companies proactively reduce risk, simplify audits, and demonstrate a commitment to quality and security that resonates with both regulators and end users.
Common packaging vulnerabilities we eliminate
Our consultations and audits have revealed five recurring weak points in packaging strategies across industries. TamperTech products are specifically designed to address each of these vulnerabilities:
Silent resealing: Packages sealed with standard tape can be opened and resealed without leaving any trace. Our VOID release security tapes leave a clear “VOID” or custom message on removal, instantly signalling tampering.
Generic label replication: Off the shelf tapes and labels lack customization, making them easy to replace and replicate. TamperTech offer bespoke messaging, colours, hidden UV inks, holograms, thermochromic, unique serialization and more, to prevent counterfeit replication.
Weak adhesive in extreme conditions: In cold chain or high humidity environments, ordinary adhesives lose effectiveness. Our cold chain tamper proof tapes and labels maintain adhesion from –50°c to 40°c, ensuring security through every transit condition.
Invisible seal breaches: Many seals break in a way that leaves no obvious visual cue. TamperTech’s paper and filmic based seals irreversibly, offer 100% visibility when compromised.
No audit trail: Without a documented chain of custody or breach log, organizations struggle to reconstruct events after losses occur. Integrate our serialized QR or barcodes for easy tracking and breach reporting.

Our process: From risk assessment to rollout
Securing your products requires more than off‑the‑shelf materials—it demands a partnership. TamperTech’s proven process ensures seamless integration and ongoing support:
1. Consultation & risk assessment
We start with a deep dive into your packaging workflows, product types, handling environments, and compliance obligations. Our technical managers will conduct on‑site or virtual audits to map out potential threat vectors. Depending on your preferences.
2. Custom design & sampling
Based on the assessment, we propose unique designs with logos, colours, serialisation options and deliver samples of the base solutions for real world testing. From there with your feedback we offer final designs and quotes.
3. Scaled production & distribution
With UK based manufacturing and global distribution, we can handle runs from as few as 100 rolls or 1000 labels for 1st run unique testing up to regional or global roll out. Producing millions of labels and tens of thousands of rolls of tape each day, we have your requirements covered.
4. Implementation & training
Our team works with your operations and quality teams as much or as little as you’d like. We are here to support embedding new SOPs, conduct training sessions, and integrate audit checklists, to support your loss prevention activities. We supply comprehensive documentation, from application guides to compliance certificates.
5. Measurement & optimization
After rollout, we monitor reports, supply chain alerts, and audit feedback to refine the solution/s. Regular reviews ensure your packaging security evolves alongside emerging threats and regulatory changes, to meet the ever changing needs of your business.

Free tamper proof packaging audit checklist
We’ve included a quick audit tool below to help you evaluate your packaging security at a glance. Use the checklist below in your next packaging review:
Tamper Proof Packaging Audit Checklist
Tamper visibility: Does your seal leave irreversible evidence when opened? ☐ Yes ☐ No
Customization: Are tapes/labels uniquely branded or serialized to deter cloning? ☐ Yes ☐ No
Environment endurance: Do seals maintain adhesion in required temperature/humidity ranges? ☐ Yes ☐ No
Consistency: Are tamper-evident features applied uniformly across all sites and SKUs? ☐ Yes ☐ No
Traceability: Can you track seal application and breach events via codes or scan data? ☐ Yes ☐ No
Stolen
Technology products account for cargo thefts globally. This makes it the most stolen type of cargo, followed by food and beverages (27%), and clothing and accessories (25%).
Shrinkage
Shrinkage is the loss of inventory due to theft, damage, or errors. Warehouses are particularly vulnerable to crime because they often store large quantities of valuable goods.
Instore Theft
This is the most common form of retail shrinkage. $48.1 billion in 2021. Tampering of goods is less common, but it can be more costly, as it can lead to product recalls and lawsuits.
Returns
This means that for every 100 products shipped, 20 of them maybe returned due to damage caused by poor packaging within the e-commerce shipping channel alone.
