Tamper-Evident Labels for Controlled Drugs – CD’s

Secure Controlled Drugs Transport using Tote Boxes

Protect high-value medicines and streamline pharmacy logistics with non-residue tamper evident labels that show instant, visible evidence of interference – no pull-tight seals required.

Make Controlled Drug Shipments Simple, Visible, and Trusted

Tote boxes move prescriptions, CDs (Controlled Drugs), high-value stock, and patient packs across hub-and-spoke, home delivery, wards, and care homes. Traditional pull-tight plastic seals create problems:

  • Easily duplicated or swapped

  • No visible tamper evidence when removed

  • Extra steps for manual labels/tags

  • Slower, error-prone handovers

TamperTech non-residue tote labels solve all of that in one step. Apply in seconds; if lifted or removed they display a bold “VOID” message on the label surface – irreversible, auditable, and obvious and they remove cleanly so your totes stay in circulation.

Why Integrated Labels Are Better Than Pull-Tight Seals for Controlled Drugs

Visible Tamper Evidence

If a label is removed or lifted, a clear VOID message appears. Re-application attempts are obvious—no ambiguity at handover.

No Mess, Full Reuse

Non-residue adhesive means clean removal and longer tote life—no glue, no contamination, no downtime.

Time-Saving & Staff-Friendly

Replace fiddly seal-plus-sticker workflows with one quick application. Less frustration, fewer errors, faster dispensary throughput.

Trackable & Customisable

Add sequential numbering, barcodes/QR, colour bands, logos, and CD indicators. Operators and QA can write directlyon the label with a biro.

“Our dispatch team spent ages with seals and stickers. Now it’s one label – secure, traceable, done.”
— Operations Manager, Pharmacy Fulfilment

  • Prescription home delivery: Seal tote for driver dispatch; patient sign-off includes seal number for audit trail.

  • Ward returns / back to pharmacy: Use fresh label for closed-loop custody.

  • Hub-and-spoke: Consistent, visible, tamper-evident custody between hub, spokes, and couriers.
