To seal, or not to seal? Choose the right security seals for your application needs

Security seals play an integral role in deterring and preventing tampering, theft and pilferage throughout the supply chain. High-security seals such as container bolt seals and barrier seals are designed to act as a physical barrier between the bad actors and high-value assets. In contrast, security seals such as indicative seals are common tamper-evidence of intrusions and contamination. However, with the surging demand and advancement on identifiers such as QR code and barcode, indicative seals are now widely utilised for identification and authentication purposes and paving the way for traceability and visibility of the supply chain.

Indicative seals are highly welcomed by all industry players. They are commonly seen in various markets and applications—reasons being their versatility, convenience, and cost-efficiency. Objectively, the most common and accessible indicative seals in Mega Fortris and the market are pull-tight seals and fixed-length seals with three available material types.

Cable Indicative Seals

Various tamper-evident features are designed in each cable-indicative seal to accommodate different security requirements and purposes, with durability being an additional point.

Plastic Indicative Seals

Mega Fortris has an extensive range of plastic-indicative seals catering to the market demand, with advanced variations of pull-tight and fixed-length seals dominating the range. The plastic-indicative seals are moulded in either Polypropylene or Nylon for their high stability, resistance, and flexibility. With environmental awareness in mind, the plastic-indicative seals in Mega Fortris are biodegradable without compromising their securing ability.
