Security Labels & Tamper Evident Labels
Protect your property. Prevent tampering. Prove ownership.
Security labels, also known as tamper evident labels, are a cost-effective way to deter theft, detect unauthorised access, and protect your assets. Once applied, these labels leave visible signs of tampering making them perfect for use as warranty seals, asset tracking tags, or evidence of interference on valuable equipment.
Whether you’re securing IT equipment, electronics, packaging, or tools, these labels make it clear when something’s been tampered with helping to prevent false warranty claims and discourage theft or misuse.
What Do Security Labels Actually Do?
While a label won’t stop a determined thief like a safe or alarm system might, it adds a strong layer of visual security and traceability. They:
-
Clearly identify ownership
-
Make tampering obvious
-
Deter casual theft or interference
-
Support warranty claims and service history
They’re particularly useful for site verification checks, IT audits, and protecting company property across multiple locations.
Choosing the Right Security Label for Your Application
Different labels suit different use cases. Here’s a breakdown of our most popular types:
| Label Type | Material | Tamper-Evident Feature |
|---|---|---|
| VOID Labels | Durable polyester with permanent adhesive and VOID underlay | When removed, the label leaves behind a clear “VOID” message on the surface — a permanent sign of tampering |
| Tamper Evident Labels (Ultra-Destructible) | Vinyl with ultra-destruct properties and high-tack adhesive | Once stuck, the label shatters into tiny pieces if tampered with — making it nearly impossible to remove cleanly |
Things to Keep in Mind
While these labels are strong and designed to stay put for years, they are still labels. With enough effort, they can be removed but not without leaving a mess or a trace.
To get the best performance from your security labels:
-
Apply to clean, dry, dust-free surfaces
-
Allow at least 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure
-
Understand that adhesion improves over time, making the label harder to remove the longer it’s applied

-
IT and telecoms equipment
