Tamper Evident Security Labels | Protect Products & Brands

What Are Tamper Evident Labels?

Tamper evident security labels are adhesive solutions that show immediate signs of interference. These tamper seals are designed so that if a label is removed, opened, or tampered with, visible evidence such as tears, residue, or void messages appear, ensuring tampering cannot go unnoticed. Tamper proof labels provide an extra layer of security for various products and packaging.

At Sessions UK, we design and manufacture tamper evident labels tailored to business needs across pharmaceuticals, retail, logistics, and electronics. These adhesive labels protect your goods, safeguard your reputation, and reassure customers about the integrity of your products.

Types of Tamper Evident Security Labels

Void Labels

Reveal a “Void” message on both the product and label surface once removed. These void reveal labels are highly effective in showing tampering attempts.

Destructible Vinyl Labels

Break apart into small pieces when lifted, making reapplication impossible. These destructible labels are ideal for high-security applications.

Holographic Labels

Combine tamper evidence with complex holographic foil images for counterfeit protection, especially useful for luxury products and pharmaceutical products.

Scratch-Off Labels

Conceal codes or information, offering both security and engagement. These are often used in promotional campaigns and for secure information delivery.

Customised Labels

Tailored designs with branding, numbering, or QR codes. Custom security labels can be created to meet specific product labelling needs.

Applications of Tamper Evident Labels

Pharmaceuticals

Pharma security labels help prevent counterfeit medicines entering the supply chain. Regulatory compliance, such as EU2016/161 and FMD supplement requirements, demands visible tamper evidence for pharmaceutical products.

Retail

Security stickers for retail protect packaging, deter theft, and reduce fraudulent product returns. They are particularly effective for luxury products and high-value items.

Security labels for tools secure valuable equipment, prevent theft, and support asset management. This includes specialised applications like watch strap labels.
