There are a few forms of protection that various manufacturers and clients may be looking for in their containers and other forms of packaging or transport, and one of the most common and useful here is the realm of tamper-evident applications. These sorts of applications, commonly used for products that need to be kept in a given state and cannot be meddled with, appear in several different forms.

At Industrial Container and Supply Company, we're happy to offer a wide range of wholesale drums, bottles, cans and numerous other container options for any client need. Let's take a closer look at the value of tamper-evident applications for containers, plus go over some of the most notable examples of these applications on various containers.

Value of Tamper-Evident Applications

For those just learning about tamper-evident applications, these are any sort of security measure or device used to indicate that a container's contents have been opened or otherwise tampered with. This can be applied to such items as pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, and other products that must remain closed until its intended use.

Tamper-evident applications provide a sense of security to the manufacturer, as well as any consumer who may purchase the product, by ensuring that no one has tampered with the container or its contents prior to their use. This level of protection is invaluable for products that must remain in a certain state until purchased and used, such as food and beverages.

Our next several sections will look at some common examples to consider.

Tamper-Evident Bottle Caps

More and more often these days, bottles are being manufactured with tamper-evident bottle caps. These are generally made of plastic or aluminum and feature an easy-to-recognize breakable seal on the top that helps indicate if a container has been opened in transit.

This is also used as a deterrent for anyone attempting to open the container, as once the seal is broken it will be obvious that the contents have been tampered with. Bottle caps are a great way to ensure your product remains secure and sealed until its intended use.

Tamper-Evident Labels

Another common form of tamper-evident applications is the use of labels. These can range from simple adhesive seals to more complex labels featuring holographic images or text that are difficult to remove without breaking.

The use of tamper-evident labels can be beneficial for the same reasons as bottle caps, providing an easy-to-recognize indication that a container has been opened or otherwise tampered with. They also allow manufacturers to customize the design of their product seals so that they stand out against the competition.

Drum and Tote Capseals

When it comes to larger containers such as drums and totes, tamper-evident seals can be used to secure the lid. These are generally made of plastic or metal and feature a unique design that is difficult to remove without breaking, signaling that the container has been opened prior to use.

These sorts of seals are great for deterring anyone from attempting to open the container, as once the seal is broken it will be obvious that the contents have been tampered with. Additionally, they provide a great way for manufacturers to ensure that their product remains secure and sealed until its intended use.

Plastic Pail Lids

For various pails of materials, plastic pail lids are often used as tamper-evident applications. These seal the container lid and feature a breakable tab that can easily be seen if the container has been opened prior to use.

These types of seals provide a sense of security to both the manufacturer and any consumer who may purchase the product, as it ensures that no one has tampered with the container or its contents prior to their use.

Shrink Bands

Designed to fit on the cap, neck or cover of certain bottles or other containers, shrink bands are another form of tamper-evident applications. These provide a difficult-to-remove seal that can be easily seen if the container has been opened or otherwise tampered with prior to use.

Shrink bands provide an extra layer of security for products that must remain sealed until their intended use, as once the band is broken it serves as a visual indicator that the container has been opened. Additionally, shrink bands can be customized with various images or text to help make them stand out from competitors.

Overall, tamper-evident applications are invaluable for products that need to remain in a given state until they reach their intended user. By providing an easy-to-recognize indication of tampering, these seals help ensure that your product will remain secure and unharmed until its intended use.
