Definition: Security void tape is a type of tape specifically designed to prevent tampering and counterfeiting. When the tape is attempted to be removed, it leaves a noticeable pattern or text, such as “VOID”, indicating that the item has been opened or tampered with.
Material: Security void tape is typically made from polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) materials that are durable and have good abrasion resistance, tear strength, and UV resistance. The surface of the tape is coated with a special adhesive that securely adheres to the packaging surface.
Design Features: When the tape is removed, it typically leaves visible VOID markings or tamper-evident labels, signaling that the packaging has been opened or tampered with.
Chemical Properties:
Adhesion: Security void tape has strong adhesion, ensuring it sticks securely to various surfaces (such as cardboard, plastic bags, metal surfaces, etc.). The adhesive strength ensures that the tape stays in place during use, but once removed, it leaves noticeable marks.
Tamper-Evident Function: The design of the tape ensures tamper-evident protection. Even if the tape’s surface is damaged, it cannot be restored to its original state, providing additional security.
Weather Resistance: Security void tape has good weather resistance and can withstand various environmental conditions, such as humidity, dryness, high temperatures, or low temperatures.
Technical Specifications
Advantages:
Strong Tamper-Evident Protection: When the tape is removed, it leaves clear markings (such as the word “VOID”), indicating that the packaging has been opened or tampered with, ensuring the integrity of products and goods.
Easy to Use: Security void tape is easy to use and can be directly applied to the packaging surface. It requires no additional tools or equipment.
Enhanced Security: It prevents unauthorized opening or tampering during transportation, storage, and trading, enhancing the security and trustworthiness of products.
Customization: It can be customized in various colors, sizes, patterns, and text to meet different packaging needs.
Durability: Security void tape is typically durable, with good weather resistance, abrasion resistance, and UV stability, making it suitable for various environments and climatic conditions.
Safety and Precautions:
Non-Toxic: Most security void tapes are made from non-toxic, harmless materials, meeting environmental and health safety standards.
Storage Conditions: The tape should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from exposure to high temperatures or moisture, to preserve its adhesive and performance.
Surface Application: Ensure that the surface is clean and smooth for proper adhesion of the tape, and avoid excessive stretching or damaging the tape during application.
