Tamper Evident Tape for Secure Packaging

Protect your products, brand, and customers with visible tamper-evident tape made for automated and manual application.

Custom tamper evident tape with VOID message, customisable. Secure cartons, deter theft, and ensure product integrity. Works with manual or automated packing lines.

What Is Tamper Evident Tape?

Tamper evident tape is a security packaging tape that reveals clear signs of interference when a package is opened or tampered with. Unlike standard tapes, tamper evident tape leaves behind a unique VOID message, a custom warning, or destroys itself on removal, making tampering immediately visible and irreversible.

Manufactured in the UK by TamperTech, our tamper evident tapes are trusted across industries for their reliability, ease of use, and performance on automated lines.

Key Features

1. Visible Tamper Evidence
Tape leaves a bold VOID message, surface damage, or irreversible change when removed — deterring unauthorised access and instantly showing breach.

2. Strong Adhesion Across Surfaces
Formulated to stick firmly to cardboard, plastic, metal, and stretch film, with options for high-tack, freezer-grade, or clean-peel adhesives.

3. Custom Security Printing
Include sequential numbering, barcodes, brand logos, or multilingual security messages for traceability and brand protection.

4. Made for Automation
TamperTech tapes run flawlessly on automated case sealers and high-speed packing lines. We offer roll sizes and unwind formats designed for integration into existing systems — including 50.8mm x 50m standard, with custom widths from 27mm to 240mm, and lengths up to 1000 metres per roll.

5. Built to Withstand Harsh Conditions
Tapes are tested to perform in temperature-sensitive logistics, long-distance shipping, and high-humidity environments without losing adhesion or tamper visibility.
