Frequently Asked Questions

What are security bags?

Security bags are tamper-evident bags used to protect cash, confidential documents, medical items or evidence in transit or storage. They show clear signs of interference (for example a VOID closure or numbered seal) and often support tracking with sequential numbering or barcodes.

What is a security envelope?

A security envelope is a tamper-evident mailing envelope designed to protect confidential documents and show clear evidence if opened or interfered with. Their tamper-evident features act as a deterrent to unauthorised access, ensuring that contents remain secure during transit.

What is the difference between standard envelopes and security envelopes?

The main difference between standard and security envelopes lies in their construction and purpose. Standard envelopes are for general post; security envelopes use tamper-evident closures and tougher materials to reduce unauthorised access to documents.

Single-use vs reusable security bags: what’s the difference?

Single-use security bags are sealed once and then disposed of (ideally recycled). Our single use security envelopes are manufactured with high proportions of post-consumer recycled materials, making them as environmentally friendly as possible. On the other hand, reusable security pouches are made with stronger materials like PVC and are re-used with replaceable seals, making them cost-effective for repeated secure transport.

Are security bags the same as tamper-evident bags?

“Security bag” is the broad term; tamper-evident bags are security bags designed to reveal interference (often searched as tamper evident or tamperproof bags).

What are security bags used for?
