What is Tamper Evident Security Material?
When consumers or relevant organizations verify the products, these anti-counterfeiting materials can quickly and accurately demonstrate the authenticity of the products.
Tamper evident security material refers to a category of specialized substrates used in the production of anti-counterfeit packaging products.
These materials are engineered to possess unique physical, chemical, or optical properties, making them extremely difficult to replicate or remove without visible damage.
Common applications include the manufacturing of:
- Tamper evident security tapes
- Void labels and stickers
- Security seals and packaging closures
These materials work by creating visible signs of tampering—such as “VOID” text, broken patterns, or color changes—when an attempt is made to open or remove the protective layer.
For example, GS1’s traceability standards (nofollow) are often implemented alongside tamper-evident materials to strengthen product authentication across industries.
Tamper Evident Security Material Be Used For?
Tamper evident security material embedded with advanced technologies—such as holographic films, fluorescent coatings, and thermochromic ink—is used to manufacture a wide range of anti-counterfeit and tamper-proof products.
These security materials are essential for creating high-performance solutions across industries including pharmaceuticals, food, electronics, and luxury goods. They help ensure product authenticity, protect supply chains, and prevent unauthorized access or tampering during storage and transit.

Tamper Evident Security Materials FAQ
We offer various materials for tamper evident security packaging, including vinyl, PET, and polyethylene. You can choose the best material based on your needs.
In addition to these common materials, we also provide customized options such as:
- Polyester (PET): Known for its durability and high resistance to tearing and puncturing, PET is an excellent choice for tamper-evident labels that need to withstand harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures or rough handling.
- Vinyl: A flexible and strong material, vinyl is ideal for applications requiring conformability to different surfaces. It offers excellent tamper-evident capabilities and can be used for both short-term and long-term protection.
- Polyethylene (PE): A lightweight and cost-effective material, polyethylene is often used for tamper-evident bags, offering great flexibility and resistance to water and moisture, making it ideal for packaging food or pharmaceuticals.
- Tamper-Evident Paper: For environmentally-conscious businesses, we offer eco-friendly tamper-evident paper options, which provide the same high-security features while being biodegradable and recyclable.
- Holographic Film: For high-security applications, holographic films provide additional visual security and can incorporate 3D effects, UV printing, or custom logos to prevent counterfeiting and tampering.
Each material offers its own advantages, depending on the application, whether you’re protecting luxury goods, pharmaceuticals, electronics, or documents. Our team can help guide you in selecting the best material based on durability, security features, cost, and environmental considerations.
We will help you select the best material for your tamper evident packaging based on your product type and security requirements.
To make the right choice, we consider several key factors:
- Product Type: Different products require different levels of protection. For example, liquid products like cosmetics or alcohol may benefit from polyethylene (PE), as it is flexible and offers excellent moisture resistance. For high-value electronics or luxury goods, you may prefer vinyl or holographic films due to their durability and high-security features.
- Security Features: If your goal is to prevent tampering and ensure that your packaging cannot be re-sealed without detection, we can suggest destructible labels or VOID labels that leave permanent evidence of tampering. For high-end protection, holographic films or tamper-evident paper can offer added security with visual effects and customizable logos.
- Environmental Factors: Consider the conditions under which your packaging will be exposed. For outdoor storage or extreme temperatures, PET is highly resistant to wear and tear. If your packaging needs to be eco-friendly, we offer biodegradable tamper-evident options that still provide the same level of protection while being environmentally sustainable.
- Custom Printing and Branding: If branding is important for your product, materials like vinyl and holographic films allow for high-quality, customizable printing options, such as logos, text, and serial numbers, which can help in anti-counterfeiting efforts and traceability.
- Budget: While higher-end materials like holographic films offer top-notch security, they can come at a higher cost. If budget is a concern, we offer cost-effective options like polyethylene (PE) or vinyl, which still provide good protection at a more affordable price.
Our team will analyze your specific needs—whether it’s durability, security, environmental considerations, or branding—and recommend the best material that meets both your functional and budget requirements.
