Keep Your Cargo Safe and Secure with Tamper Evident Seals

When it comes to transporting cargo of any kind, it’s not unusual for many people to be involved with each load. From the time it departs to the time it arrives at its destination, there are multiple sets of hands and eyes on the shipment. The load typically needs to be checked, inventoried, emptied, serviced, cleaned, etc. -- much of this happening off of your premise.

So how can you be sure theft or damage is detected once the load is out of your hands? While theft has always been a concern, there are new -- more complex -- threats and challenges like liability issues and terrorist acts that can affect how your goods are handled. If your load can’t be under your control from beginning to end, there needs to be a way in which you know nothing has been stolen, altered, or otherwise compromised.

One way to protect your cargo in serious or sensitive situations is to take a layered approach. This means utilizing more than one security tool at once. For example, a tamper evident seal combined with security tape, or even multiple seals can be a strong deterrent against theft. By choosing tamper evident varieties, it will be clear to parties at all checkpoints if there are any issues with the cargo.

You can also layer in seal control forms and procedures that follow best practice guidelines. Having customized seals in the color of your choosing with serial numbers, logos, or letters printed on them can help all involved parties track and document cargo loads at each stage. In the event that tampering did occur, you can now pinpoint when and where it happened which greatly increases the likelihood that you can identify the wrongdoer.
