Tamper-resistant

Tamper-resistant packaging consists of a clear shrink film that is applied to the lid or cap of a container. It provides the consumer with assurance that a product is fresh and has not been opened, altered, or damaged after leaving the manufacturer.

Tamper-resistant packaging is used on a wide variety of consumer products, including:

  • Food and beverages
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Cosmetics and other personal care products
  • Sporting goods
  • Toys

The benefits of tamper-resistant packaging include:

  • Security. An intact tamper-evident band assures the consumer that the product is safe to use or consume.
  • Attractive colors. Tamper-resistant packaging can be printed in bright colors that can make the product more appealing to the consumer and set it apart from a competitor's product
  • Flexibility. For ease of removal, tamper-resistant packaging can be ordered with a single or double vertical perforation , a horizontal perforation, or a tear tape
  • Increased consumer confidence.The use of tamper-resistant packaging is a highly effective way of showing that a product manufacturer cares about the health and welfare of the consumer

Sizing:

To size a tamper-evident neck band:

  • For the lay flat dimensions, multiply the diameter of the containers cap by 1.6 mm.
  • Measure the height of the label to allow the bottom of the band to rest on the neck of the container.
  • For a cap overlap, allow 4-6mm above the cap. This measurement may vary depending on the contour of the bottle and the shrinking method.
  • For a bottom overlap, allow 4-6mm. The container will likely need a "puck" system to elevate the bottle off the conveyor.
