Frequently asked questions
What is this metal detectable tear-away plastic seal used for?
This metal detectable tear-away plastic seal is a tamper-evident security seal used to secure cargo, containers, and equipment in workplaces such as food processing, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing environments where an accidentally broken-off fragment needs to be detectable and traceable.
How do I install and remove this tear-away plastic security seal?
To install, thread the tail of the seal through the closure and into the end marked "enter," then pull tight to lock it in place. No bolt cutters or other tools are needed to remove it — simply pull the designated tab away from the seal to tear it away.
Is this tear-away plastic security seal reusable?
No. This is a single-use, tamper-evident seal — once installed, removing or tearing the seal is the intended way to open it and cannot be undone, which is what makes tampering visible.
Is this security seal both metal detectable and X-ray detectable?
