Agriculture security seals provide protection for the agricultural and food supply industry. With these, crops can continually grow and ingredients will be produced at a consistent rate. American Casting and Manufacturing provides different tamper evident seals that will protect any and all cargo, from point A to point B. These seals include cable seals, plastic seals, and wire padlock seals
Security seals on agricultural shipments provide tamper-evident proof that crops, chemicals, food ingredients, and livestock products have not been accessed, contaminated, or substituted between the farm, storage facility, and processor. Once applied, a seal cannot be removed without visible evidence of interference, creating a reliable chain-of-custody record at every handoff that supports food safety documentation and compliance with buyer and certifier requirements.
The agriculture line includes adjustable cable seals, plastic pull-tight seals, fixed-length cable seals, plastic wire seals, and acrylic padlock seals. Cable seals are most common for bulk totes, tanks, valves, and tank trucks carrying dairy products and other liquids, while plastic pull-tight seals work well for lighter-duty containers and transport bags. Breaking strengths range from 25 lbs (11.3 kg) on lighter models up to 120 lbs (54.3 kg) on heavy-duty cable seals, with cable lengths from 6 to 72 inches.
For chemical containers, a heavy-duty strap seal or cable seal with a metal locking insert is the most appropriate choice. The 16-inch Strap Seal with Metal Locking Insert (Model DTZIP) offers a durable, tamper-evident closure suited for regulated cargo, with custom color and numbering available to support compliance tracking. For containers subject to specific state or federal chemical transport regulations, contact us at (800) 342-0333 to confirm the right model for your application.
Yes. The majority of seals in the agriculture line are available barcoded and sequentially numbered. This allows you to log each seal number at application and verify it at receipt, creating a documented audit trail from the farm or storage facility through to the processor or distributor. For organic or certified-product programs that require traceable documentation at every handoff, barcoded seals significantly reduce the manual record-keeping burden.
For export shipments requiring C-TPAT or ISO 17712 High Security compliance, a certified bolt seal is required rather than a standard plastic or cable seal. AC&M's ISO 17712-compliant High Security Bolt Seal (Model ISO-1H) meets these requirements. Call (800) 342-0333 to confirm the correct model for your specific export lane and container type before ordering.
Yes. Custom sequential numbering, logo printing, and color options are available across most seal models in this line. Custom colors are particularly useful for organizing seals by product type, shipment route, or compliance requirement, making it easy for receiving staff to visually confirm the right seal is in place before breaking it and logging the number.
All tamper-evident security seals in the agriculture line are single-use. Once locked and applied, they cannot be removed and re-engaged without leaving visible evidence of tampering, which is precisely what makes them reliable for chain-of-custody documentation from farm to processor. Reusable seals cannot provide this guarantee and should not be used in programs that require documented tamper evidence.
Do not accept or unload the product until the discrepancy is formally documented. Note the broken or missing seal on the delivery receipt, photograph the seal and container closure, and notify the shipper immediately. For food products, organic certifications, or regulated chemicals, a broken seal at delivery may require the shipment to be held pending investigation by the certifier, buyer, or relevant regulatory authority before the product is moved into inventory.
