Security Labels

Security labels are tamper-evident stickers designed to indicate when a consignment (e.g. carton or pallet) has been opened or tampered with. There are two main types: residue security labels (AKA 'permanent tamper evident' labels) leave a total transfer void message on the applied surface as well as through the label itself; whereas non-residue labels (AKA 'no transfer' or 'low residue' labels) only leave a void message though the surface of the label itself. Our security labels are available in plastic or sustainable paper materials, for a greener security solution.

Destructible, frangible labels are another security solution; these labels do not remove in one-piece and removal attempts will cause cracking and fragmentation of the label material, making tamper attempts obvious. Security labels of all kinds increase the tamper-evident security of sealed cartons, pallets and packages - particularly in the pharmaceutical, electronic and food/drink sectors. They are available in standard off-the-shelf options or completely customised for your needs, which has the added benefit of raising the profile and reputation of your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What are tamper evident security labels?

Tamper evident security labels are adhesive labels designed to show clear signs of interference if removed or altered. They protect products, packaging, and assets by leaving a visible VOID message, fragmenting on removal, or providing a permanent mark. These labels are widely used across UK industries such as healthcare, logistics, retail, and IT asset management..

What are the main types of tamper evident labels?

The main types include:

  • VOID Labels – leave behind a clear “VOID” message when removed.
  • Residue Labels – transfer adhesive to the surface for strong evidence of tampering.
  • Non-Residue Labels – leave no sticky mess, suitable for sensitive surfaces.
  • Destructible Labels – fragment on removal, preventing reapplication.
  • Security Asset Labels – durable printed labels for asset protection and inventory control.

Residue vs. Non-Residue Labels – what’s the difference?

  • Residue Labels: Provide a high-tack adhesive that leaves a permanent VOID or residue mark on the surface. Ideal for single use packaging such as cartons, plastic mailers etc, where maximum evidence of tampering is required.
  • Non-Residue Labels: Remove cleanly without leaving adhesive behind. Commonly used in temporary applications, such as reusable equipment, rental assets, or airline trolleys.

Can security labels be custom printed?

Yes. Security labels can be custom printed with logos, text, sequential numbering, or barcodes to improve traceability and brand protection. We are a leading UK supplier of tamper evident labels, and provide customised options in small minimum orders.

What industries use tamper evident security labels?

Tamper evident security labels are widely used across industries where traceability and asset protection are critical:

  • Logistics & Courier Services 🚚 – VOID or residue labels seal cartons, pallets, and packaging, showing evidence of interference during transit.
  • Healthcare & NHS 🏥 – Non-residue or residue labels secure medical kits, clinical waste bags, and pharmaceutical packaging in line with UK compliance standards.
  • Retail & E-Commerce 🛒 – Tamper labels protect high-value goods, returns packaging, and point-of-sale items against theft or switching.
  • Electronics & IT Assets 💻 – Destructible labels provide warranty protection, calibration tags, and asset tracking for laptops, servers, and equipment.
  • Aviation & Duty-Free ✈️ – Non-residue labels are commonly applied to airline trolleys, catering carts, and stowage boxes for HMRC compliance.
  • Manufacturing & Industrial 🏭 – Security asset labels and barcode labels track tools, machinery, and components through production lines.

Each label type — VOID, residue, non-residue, destructible, and security asset labels — is chosen based on the level of tamper evidence required and the surface they’re applied to.
