Tamper-evident seals play a key role in maintaining product integrity. They are designed to be difficult to alter or remove, and leave visible signs of tampering, thus effectively protecting product and consumer safety.
Unlike regular labels, tamper evident seals leave a VOID message if removed improperly, providing undeniable proof of access attempts.
These security seals are widely applied in sectors such as food and beverage, beauty, pharmaceuticals, and electronics.
Whether you’re a retail business, food manufacturer, or a company handling sensitive equipment, tamper evident seals provide an essential layer of protection against unauthorized access or tampering.
According to the FDA’s tamper-evident packaging guidelines, using appropriate seals and labels is critical for ensuring product safety and regulatory compliance.
Brands in the luxury sector rely heavily on tamper evident security seals to prevent counterfeiting and maintain brand trust.
Choosing the right tamper-evident security label and placing an order is simple: determine the type of label that fits your product, let us know your requirements for customization, and place your order.
Seals can be made from a variety of materials, such as shrink bands or heat-seal plastics. In this article, we focus on the practical application of labels as tamper evident security seals.
For best results, we recommend using labels with permanent adhesives to ensure a reliable seal and prevent unauthorized interference.

Tamper Proof Cigar Seal
Cigar band seals are not only an effective way to build brand image, but also to ensure product safety. Although its name is derived from the traditional cigar band, it is actually extremely versatile and can be applied to a variety of products such as food packaging, cosmetics and specialty goods.
Its wraparound design helps to maintain the package seal while providing an ideal space for brand promotion. You can print your brand logo or key information on the circular part, and add other details such as ingredients, instructions or decorative elements on the band part.
Case: Davidoff
As a world-renowned cigar brand, Davidoff attaches great importance to the integrity of its product packaging and brand image. The cigar labels it uses are made of special paper and combined with a unique adhesive to form a strong and tamper-proof seal. Once the label is peeled off, it will leave a noticeable tear mark that is difficult to restore to its original state, effectively preventing the product from being maliciously opened during circulation. This not only ensures product safety, but also maintains the brand’s high-end image.
Tamper Proof Lollipop Seal Labels
The lollipop label builds branding and security for products in a unique and eye-catching way. The design of this label is inspired by the classic lollipop shape and is suitable for a variety of scenarios such as product packaging and promotional giveaways.
The rounded part provides a great place to display a logo or key brand information, while the “stick” part (i.e. the legs of the lollipop) can be used for additional information, decorative elements or product details.
Its unique shape makes it an ideal choice for businesses that want to stand out, combining fun and practicality. Whether you print it yourself or choose to have it customized by ecosecuritytape, these labels can provide you with creative packaging, branding and security solutions.
Case: Chupa Chups
Chupa Chups is a famous lollipop brand from Spain. To ensure the safety of the product during transportation and sales, while enhancing brand recognition, the brand uses tamper-proof technology on its lollipop labels. Its labels are made of special heat-sensitive materials.
When the label is peeled off or subjected to a certain temperature change, a specific pattern or text will be displayed to indicate whether the product has been opened. The label is also very beautifully designed, incorporating the brand’s iconic elements, such as the brand logo and unique color matching, which not only ensures the tamper-proof function, but also plays a good brand promotion role.
Rectangular Tamper Proof Seals
Rectangular labels are simple and efficient, ensuring packaging safety while enhancing product appearance. This type of label is ideal for cartons, bags, and other containers. When applied to the seal, it can form a tamper-proof seal, adding an extra layer of security and contributing to brand promotion.
Simply choose a rectangular label that is large enough to cover the opening, achieving a safe and reliable tamper-proof seal, while also creating a professional packaging image. Rectangular labels are perfect for tamper-proof seals, as well as brand promotion, ingredient information display, and the release of promotional messages, providing a clean and aesthetically pleasing visual effect.
Case: Apple
Apple uses rectangular tamper-proof seals on the packaging of its products. These labels are usually located at the seal of the packaging box, made from high-strength paper and special glue. Once applied, the tamper-proof seal is difficult to remove completely. The label is printed with Apple’s brand logo, product model, and other information, using a unique printing process that provides a certain level of anti-counterfeiting protection.
When the label is peeled off, it leaves words such as “VOID” on the packaging box, clearly indicating that the product packaging has been opened. This prevents the product from being repackaged or tampered with, ensuring the protection of consumers’ rights and preserving the integrity of the brand.
Circular Tamper Evident labels
Circular labels are versatile and can be used to seal product packaging and takeaways while also adding a professional feel to packaging. Similar to rectangular labels, circular labels are applied to the closure to provide a tamper-evident seal and help enhance your brand image. Simply add your logo, product details or important information and apply the label to keep your package securely sealed in a sophisticated and beautiful way.
ecosecuritytape offers blank and custom printed circular labels. Simply contact our sales team with the label size and place your order to receive a custom size label that fits your packaging perfectly.
Case: Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola uses circular tamper-evident labels on some of its limited edition or special packaging products. These labels are usually applied to the closure of the bottle cap or bottle body and use holographic anti-counterfeiting technology and special adhesives.
When the label is attempted to be removed, the holographic pattern is destroyed and cannot be completely removed, leaving obvious signs of tampering. The circular labels are printed with Coca-Cola’s brand logo and relevant product information, which not only prevents tampering, but also enhances the product’s visual appeal and brand recognition.
