Food and beverage products often need a way to show whether the packaging has been opened before purchase. A tamper-proof label gives both sellers and consumers confidence that the product is safe, sealed, and untouched.
These labels are often placed:
✔️Over the lid and body of a jar or bottle
✔️On the edge of a box flap
✔️Across zipper bags or plastic pouches
They’re designed to tear visibly when the product is opened, making re-sealing difficult or impossible without detection.
We recommend these types for food and drink packaging:
| Label Type | Common Use |
|---|---|
| Split-cut label | Slits in the label cause it to tear when the bottle cap or jar lid is turned |
| Perforated wrap label | Wraps over the edge of a box or bottle neck and tears when opened |
| Tear-strip seal | For bags and pouches; breaks when the seal is lifted |
| Partial clear seal | Thin, low-visibility tamper tab on caps or containers for minimal design impact |
We do not use VOID materials in this product—those are handled in a separate category.
Recommended Materials:
✔️PET film – Durable, tear-resistant for slitted designs
✔️Paper – Budget-friendly; shows damage clearly when torn
✔️Transparent film – Keeps the product design visible
✔️Matte writable paper – Allows batch/date writing on the seal
Adhesives:
✔️Permanent adhesive – Ensures firm seal on plastic, glass, paper, or metal
✔️Freezer-compatible adhesive – Optional for chilled food or drink packaging
✔️Food-safe adhesives – For indirect contact surfaces (e.g., sealing caps, not direct food touch)
We help you choose the right combination based on whether the label goes on a curved cap, flat box, or cold container.
✔️Full-color logo or text printing
✔️Die-cut shapes for jar seals or box flaps
✔️Pre-cut slits for breakage
✔️Transparent or minimal designs available
✔️Lamination (matte or gloss) for water/oil resistance
✔️Barcodes, expiry dates, or batch info can be printed on request
✔️Honey, jam, or sauce jars – Labels that tear when the lid is twisted
✔️Juice bottles, smoothies, dairy drinks – Neck seal to show cap has not been opened
✔️Snack or dry food pouches – Seals across zippers or resealable tops
✔️Bakery boxes or gift tins – Partial wrap labels to protect against tampering
Q: Are these food-safe?
A: The labels are applied to the outer packaging, so they don’t touch food directly. We use food industry–compatible adhesives and materials for indirect contact.
Q: Can the label be placed before refrigeration?
A: Yes. We offer labels with freezer-grade adhesive for use on cold, chilled, or frozen packaging.
Q: Will customers clearly see if the seal was broken?
A: Yes. We design the label to tear, split, or distort when opened. This makes tampering easy to detect.
Q: Can I add a barcode or batch number?
A: Yes. We can include printed tracking info, either fixed or as variable data.
