TAMPER EVIDENT LABELS

We sell a lot of Tamper Evident labels which were designed to make it apparent if someone has tried to remove a label.  They can thus be used to seal a box or be stuck on a DVD.

Video Hire shops used to complain that some disreputable customers would rent a DVD and then switch it for a personal disc that had become damaged, keeping the hire disc.

Tamper Evident labels protect against this.  If you try to take the label off the hire disc and put it on the old disc then the label will appear to be full of holes that spell out the word VOID.

This is because the label is constructed in a double layer with printing both above and below the plastic polypropylene film that forms the basis of the label. Tear off the film and you are still left with printing (showing the word VOID) adhering to what the label was previously affixed.

VIP Labels sell circular Tamper Evident labels for fixing to the centre of DVDs.  These have a white rectangle, useful if you want to write in a number or date for the disc.  We also sell rectangular labels made to the same specification. These smaller rectangular labels are useful for sealing cases, though as they are very light they can also be used on a DVD as well.

These small (38mm x 15mm) labels can also be used in many other commercial and industrial situations where it is important to ensure that objects are not tampered with.

We sell Tamper Evident labels in reels of 200, 500 or 1,000 labels.  You’ll find the prices on the website.  For further information please call us on 01446 -773874.
