Once a parcel or carton leaves a business, it may pass through several stages of handling before reaching its destination. During that time, it is not always possible to keep an eye on the contents. Security seal tape provides a simple way to make interference visible and give both sender and recipient greater confidence in the condition of the package.

STIKON's S-VOID security tapes are designed for sealing boxes, cartons and pallets. When the tape is peeled away, a clear VOID message appears, providing visible evidence that the seal has been disturbed.

Different Security Tape Options

STIKON offers several versions of security tape. The Economy option is a plain VOID tamper-evident packaging tape available in red or blue and intended for sealing cartons during storage or transit. The Premium range uses a stronger PET backing and can be used on cardboard and plastics, including PP containers and pallet wrapping film.

For businesses that need additional identification, STIKON also supplies Premium numbered and perforated security tape. This version has SECURITY SEAL top printing, sequential numbers and perforations every 150mm to make tearing the tape easier.

The Premium security seal tape uses an acrylic adhesive system and strong PET backing. It is designed to withstand the wear and tear associated with freight and long-term storage, including less-than-ideal conditions.

Why Tamper Evidence Matters

The main purpose of security seal tape is not simply to keep a carton closed. It provides a visible indication if someone has attempted to open the package. The bold OPENED VOID message appears after the tape has been peeled away, allowing the recipient to notice that the original seal is no longer intact.

This can be particularly useful for goods that are handled by several people or transported through third-party storage and logistics services. STIKON highlights industries including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, fashion and beverages as examples where this additional reassurance can be valuable.

For businesses sending goods into storage or transit, security seal tape is a straightforward addition to the packaging process. STIKON's range provides different levels of security, from basic VOID tape through to numbered and perforated versions for applications where identification and traceability are important.
