Your Guide to Tamper-Evident Product Packaging

You have manufactured your product and chosen your bottle. Now there’s just one more choice to make: Which tamper-evident closure to use?

There are many different methods to make your product packaging tamper-evident. Which direction will you go? Shrink bands, PS liners or temper-evident caps?

The choice is completely yours. But today we’re going to help you in making that choice a little easier…

Your safety option number one are Shrink Bands - thin pieces of PVC plastic that create an external tamper-evident seal when melted over a lid. This set-up requires your customers to break the seal before they use your product, putting to rest any worry that someone may have frolicked with the goods inside the bottle at an earlier point.

Next, Pressure Sensitive (PS) Liners represent another secure alternative. Made of polystyrene foam, this liner is situated on the inside of the bottle closure. Coated with pressure sensitive glue droplets, the liner is designed to adhere to the container once the lid is twisted onto a bottle or jar, covering the container’s orifice and blocking the product from external passage.

If you’re marketing a beverage line, our Temper-evident Water Bottle Lids may be the best option for you. These lids are easily applied when the cap is twisted onto the bottle. At first glance, the intact bottle tab reaffirms to the customer that this is a new product. The tamper-evident seal is broken with a twist when the product is first opened.
