Why is the security seal used?
Simply put, a security seal indicates whether a locking device has been opened, indicating unauthorized access to restricted items, including bags, boxes, safes, cabinets, doors, or special equipment (such as fire extinguishers or first aid kit boxes).
Security seals protect from theft, abuse, third-party contamination, and hoarding of illegal goods, or indeed people, as immigration control remains a major issue.
A shipment of goods or a set of documents is always handled by many before it reaches its final destination. To save the time and cost of many detailed security checks, the security seal serves as just one of two indicators of the integrity of the content. The security seal cannot prevent access, but acts as an instant alert should any tampering occur, ensuring the ultimate identity of the responsible party.
Today, crime is developing rapidly and it is recommended that security measures be updated regularly. The cost of prevention is much less than potential losses and time from theft, contamination or other criminal activity.
Security seals are key to protecting your goods in transit and can also provide valuable additional benefits such as providing additional logistics controls and speeding up process efficiency with the use of barcodes or RFID tags.
High-quality security seals protect more of your products; they also serve to protect the integrity of your workforce.
