Security stickers work by providing a tamper-evident and anti-forgery/anti-counterfeiting seal or clear indication if someone attempts to remove or alter them. These stickers are made with special materials that leave behind a residue, pattern, or message (like “VOID”) when tampered with, ensuring that any interference is immediately noticeable. They’re widely used to protect assets, confidential documents, and sensitive equipment.
Types of Security Labels
Tamper Evident Labels
Tamper-evident labels are crucial for products like perishable groceries and high-volume items. They reveal any attempt to tamper with the label and come in two main variants:
Destructible Labels
These labels on groceries are hard to remove because they break into small pieces. This makes them effective in preventing item swapping and detecting actions that void warranties or signal sabotage.
“Residue” Labels
These labels are good for books and CDs. When you take them off, they leave a mark, which makes it difficult to tamper with them without anyone noticing.
Anti-Forgery / Anti-Counterfeiting
Anti-forgery labels are crucial for products like electronics and high-value items. They contain features that are challenging to copy or replicate, making them essential for protecting against counterfeiting.
Holographic Labels
Holographic labels are great for electronics, DVDs, and valuable items because they have hard-to-copy security features.
Labels That Protect Your Assets
Understanding how labels function enhances the protection of your valuable products and assets. This is particularly important for high-value, high-frequency RF items.
