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 Choose Tamper Evident Tote Box Labels for CD's?
✅ Secure in one step – peel, apply, protected
✅ No leftover residue – totes reuse faster, no scraping
✅ Customisable – branding, barcodes/QR, sequential numbering
✅ Writable surface – add ward, route, pharmacist initials
✅ Faster than dual seal-label systems – one label, done
✅ Supports NHS SOPs & chain of custody for Controlled Drugs
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.”
