For label converters and printers
TamperTech supplies tamper evident master rolls to label converters and label manufacturers. You convert, print and sell. We supply the material: permanent, non-residue, Hybrid (rub-off) and paper constructions, with bespoke VOID messages, hidden inks and a range of colours. Usable widths are 110mm, 240mm and 320mm, in rolls of 200m to 750m. We ship worldwide. Tamper evident material is designed to reveal interference. It does not stop a pack being opened.

Converters add tamper evident labels to their range without developing the material themselves. You keep the customer. We make the material and support you with technical advice, by phone or in person.
We print, adhesive-coat and laminate the rolls at our site in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, from films, paper, inks and adhesives that we buy in.
What it does not do: Master rolls are material, not finished labels. Converting, die-cutting and finishing are done by you. Performance on your press and your customer’s surface should be confirmed with samples.
A distributor in Peru supplies localised, custom-language security products to its own customers. It brought converting in-house, which shortened its lead times, and it now supplies high-security labels with UV-ink security to the pet pharmaceutical sector.
Choose your route
You need tamper-evident labelstock with a standard VOID or OPENED message, ready for your press.
Your customer wants their own words, logo or pattern revealed when the label is removed.
Tell us the surface, the conditions and who checks the seal. Our technical team will specify it with you.
Bespoke tamper evidence
Standard VOID labelstock is widely available, which makes generic VOID labels easy for counterfeiters and tamperers to source. A seal that reveals a brand's own message, logo or pattern when it is removed is a different matter. It helps show the seal is genuine as well as showing that it has been opened.
We build that bespoke message into the activation layer of the master material. You print, die-cut and finish it exactly as you would any other labelstock. Your customer gets security that is unique to them, and you get a higher-value product that is not available from a catalogue, with repeat runs that come back to you.
Tamper behaviour
Every construction is designed to leave visible evidence when the label is lifted. The difference is where that evidence appears, and whether the surface can be used again.
The message appears in the label face when it is lifted, and no residue is left on the surface. Ideal where surfaces must stay clean, such as airline catering trolleys and equipment.
The message transfers in full to the surface, so the evidence stays even after the label is removed. Ideal for cartons, delivery bags and pharmaceutical and logistics seals.
Developed by TamperTech
The full message transfers to the surface, giving the same clear evidence as permanent. Once checked, the residue can be rubbed off so the bag, tote, crate or trolley can be used again. Permanent-style evidence without throwing the packaging away.
| Construction | Non-residue | Permanent | Hybrid (rub-off) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the evidence shows | In the label face | On the surface and in the label | On the surface and in the label |
| Residue on the surface | None | Yes, permanent | Yes, until rubbed off after checking |
| Surface can be reused | Yes | No | Yes |
| Best for | Trolleys, equipment and clean surfaces | Cartons, delivery bags, pharma and logistics seals | Reusable bags, totes, crates and trolleys |

Paper-based tamper evidence
Our paper tamper-evident laminate is made on plastic free paper, for brands and retailers moving away from plastic seals. It is available in permanent, non-residue and Hybrid (rub-off) constructions, with the same bespoke messages as our film range.

Why TamperTech
Selection, testing and limits
All three constructions show tampering, but they suit different surfaces and different checks. Start from the surface the label goes on and whether that surface needs to be reused.

Questions
Label material with a hidden tamper-evident layer. When a label made from it is lifted, a message such as VOID appears and is designed to stay visible. We supply it in master rolls for converters to print, die-cut and finish.
Non-residue VOID shows the message in the label face and leaves the surface clean. Permanent VOID leaves the full message on the surface, so the evidence remains after the label has been removed.
