Tamper Evident Solutions for Government Security
Public sector tamper evident seals turn on demonstrable integrity: ballots, records, seized property, secure rooms and sensitive consignments. Tamper evidence gives each of them a numbered, visible record of access.
Used by government departments, electoral services, local authorities, defence-adjacent suppliers and public agencies where continuity has to be shown rather than asserted.

The problem
Where public sector integrity is challenged
01
Ballot and electoral material
Boxes and consignments that must be demonstrably unopened in transit.
02
Records and archives
Long-term storage with no record of intervening access.
03
Secure rooms and cabinets
Areas accessed by multiple cleared personnel.
04
Sensitive consignments
Items moving between sites via internal or third party transport.
05
Seized and held property
Chain of custody that may be examined later.
06
Public scrutiny
Processes that have to withstand questions after the event.
How it works
What a numbered seal contributes
Each seal carries a unique number and separates irreversibly if disturbed, exposing a permanent VOID message. Recording numbers at every transfer creates a physical audit trail. The seal evidences access; it does not prevent it, and it does not replace your security policy.
01
Sealed and recorded
The number is entered into the register at the point of sealing.
02
Transferred and verified
Each recipient checks the number and the condition of the seal before accepting.
03
Opened deliberately
Authorised opening voids the seal, a new seal is applied and recorded.

If your pack, surface or operation is not covered here, send us the pack and the problem and we will specify it.
Put it through the Security Lab →Products typically specified
What public sector teams usually specify
Numbered and custom
Custom labels with numbering, barcodes, QR codes and bespoke artwork.
Permanent evidence
Permanent labels where the void message must stay on the surface.
Non residue options
Non residue labels where the surface must be left clean and unmarked.
Carton and case tape
Standard tamper evident tape for outer cartons and shippers.
Pallet and unit loads
Pallet secure tape for whole-load evidence between sites.
Specifying it properly
What we need to know to get it right first time
Numbering scheme
Ranges per site, department or event, barcodes or QR codes, and how numbers are captured into the register.
Surface and container
Corrugate ballot boxes, plastic crates, metal cabinets and painted doors all bond differently.
Duration and conditions
Archive and long-hold seals need to remain bonded and legible over years, including in unheated storage.
Procurement and evidence
Tell us the standard or specification your procurement requires and we will confirm what we can supply technical evidence for, rather than claim a compliance we have not been assessed against.
Next step
Specify it around your operation
Public sector integrity depends on the procedure as much as the seal. Send us the container and the way your register works and we will specify the seal around it.
Known requirement
Samples, pricing, artwork and rollout for a product or application you have already identified.
Not sure what will work
Difficult substrate, temperature, line speed or a loss pattern you cannot pin down. Send us the pack and the problem.
