Plastic Fixed Length Security Seals

Truck and trailer fixed-length security seals or 'ring seals' (due to the fixed loop they form when sealed) are ideal for a range of transport operations - including road and rail. Ring seals are also referred to as truck seals and trailer door seals, as their main purpose is for use as an anti-tamper security seal on HGV trailer door locking hasps and curtain sider buckles... Truck seals are also suitable as an indicative security solution for petrol / bulk food / liquid tankers and shipping containers. Our ring seals are designed to be easily applied and removed without the need for tools, as they break by hand with a sharp tug. Fixed length seals also include a range of specialised seals for sealing of attached lid containers and barrels, such as plug seals and drum seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a plastic security seal?

A plastic security seal is a tamper-evident device used to secure various containers and goods. It is designed to provide a visual indication of tampering, ensuring that the contents remain intact and untouched during transit. These seals come in various forms, such as the fixed-length seals shown on this page, as well as pull-tight seals, meter seals, tote box seals, and so on. Each type serves a different security need across particular applications and industries.

How do tamper-proof seals work?

Tamper-proof seals work by providing a clear indication of any unauthorised attempts to access the secured item. Once applied, these seals are designed to break or show visible signs of tampering if someone tries to open or manipulate them. This feature helps in quickly identifying any breaches and taking necessary actions to investigate and resolve the issue.

Why does each container get a plastic seal?

Each container receives a plastic seal to ensure the security and integrity of its contents. The seal acts as a deterrent against unauthorised access and tampering, providing peace of mind to both the sender and receiver. By using plastic security seals, companies can maintain the safety of their goods, comply with industry regulations, and prevent potential losses.

How do you verify a security seal?

To verify a security seal, check for any visible signs of tampering, such as broken or missing parts, altered numbers, or damaged surfaces. Many security seals come with unique identifiers, such as serial numbers or barcodes, which can be cross-referenced with records to ensure authenticity. Regular inspections and proper documentation of these identifiers help.
