Tamper Seals and Tamper-Evident Labels

Tamper seals, also known as tamper bands or cross strips, are an important part of packaging design. Not only do they serve a functional need in providing safety and security for packaging, but they also provide a design opportunity for products. Tamper and safety seals for bottles and jars come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, from simple bands across the top of a bottle to complete wraps of a lid, and everything in between. Many brands use them in combination with custom containers and their bottle or jar labels to create a fully-designed, high-end appearance.

Many high-end craft spirits use tamper seals for bottles to create a distinctive, complex packaging solution. Special edition or limited release beers can utilize tamper seals to add an eye-catching element that stands out on the shelf. Specialty food products, from jams to BBQ sauces to spices, use tamper seals to both protect products and convey the quality of the contents within. Tamper proof seals for bottles combine both product safety and presentation in one package, but it can take a digital printing company to help your business accomplish both goals.

Before printing your custom tamper seals, we will provide a digital proof via email for your approval. This allows you to review your design, confirming details like positioning, color accuracy, text legibility, and more, prior to full production. We are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction through this streamlined proofing process.
