Description
Custom tamper evident labels & security seals, printed on ultra-destruct vinyl
Tamper evident labels and security seals printed in the UK on high-tack destructible vinyl, supplied on semi-gloss sheets with a break-away permanent adhesive. Full-colour print with optional VOID, sequential numbers or barcodes, in any custom size.
These security labels do a simple job well: they show if a package, product or seal has been opened. Try to peel one and it breaks apart into hundreds of tiny fragments, so it can’t be lifted cleanly and stuck back down. That makes them a clear deterrent on valued equipment and sensitive deliveries.
Printed on 50-micron ultra-destruct cast vinyl with a semi-glossy top-coat, our tamperproof labels handle both indoor and outdoor use. The strong solvent acrylic adhesive bonds to almost all smooth surfaces - even low-energy plastics like ABS - and becomes fully tamper evident around 20 minutes after application.
Eco-solvent ink means the print won’t smudge when it gets wet. Need traceability? We can add sequential numbering or barcodes for asset tracking and warranty control. Order a single label or several thousand, upload your artwork or design it online, and mix designs in one run at no extra cost.
Breaks on removal
Peel one and it shatters into hundreds of tiny pieces, so it can’t be reused - clear proof of tampering every time.
High-tack security bond
Strong solvent acrylic adhesive grips smooth surfaces and low-energy plastics like ABS and silicone-containing parts.
Indoor & outdoor ready
Semi-gloss ultra-destruct vinyl printed with eco-solvent ink resists water and weather without smudging or lifting.
Numbering & barcodes
Add sequential numbers, VOID text or barcodes for asset tracking, warranty seals and stock control.

By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
How do tamper evident labels work?
They’re made from a destructible ultra-destruct vinyl. Once applied and left for around 20 minutes, any attempt to peel the label makes it break into hundreds of small fragments rather than lifting in one piece - so tampering is obvious and the label can’t be reused.
What surfaces do they stick to?
The high-tack solvent acrylic adhesive bonds to almost all smooth surfaces and even low-energy plastics such as ABS and parts containing silicone. If you’re unsure about your surface, order a free sample and test the bond before you commit.
Can I add sequential numbers or barcodes?
Yes. We can print variable data such as sequential numbering and barcodes for asset tracking, warranty control or stock management. Send us your artwork and numbering requirements and we’ll set it up.
Are they suitable for outdoor use?
They are. The semi-glossy ultra-destruct vinyl is rated for indoor and outdoor applications, and because we print with eco-solvent ink the labels won’t smudge if they get wet.
What size and shape can I have?
Any custom size, printed in full colour and supplied on easy-peel sheets. There’s no minimum order - buy a single label or several thousand, with the price per label dropping as quantity grows.
How quickly will I get my labels?
Once you approve your PDF proof we get straight to print, aiming to dispatch within 3 to 5 working days. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.
