Label type security seals and tapes are defined by their physical characteristics. While security tape is any continuous product, security labels are typically die cut or butt cut (edge to edge), thereby making each label seal unique and separate on a liner. There are currently no specifications (Federal, ANSI, ASTM, etc.) that establish requirements for the manufacture of label seals and tapes. Label seals are voiding seals consisting of a paper or plastic backing with adhesive. The combination of backing and adhesive are chosen to cause the seal to void when removal is attempted. To be a true security seal, tapes, and label seals should be have some type of customization in the form of sequential numbering, custom graphics, colors, and printing, unique identity through the use of visual or covert techniques, customizable self voiding or self destructive characteristics if removed and the clear inability to reseal or surreptitiously remove the tape, or label seal from its surface without obvious visual evidence of tampering.
