Sealing systems generally cover different types of sealing methods used to ensure the security of products, documents or areas. Depending on the context in which they are used, different sealing systems can be mentioned. Here are some common categories of sealing systems:
 
Physical Security Sealing Systems
  • These systems are generally used for product shipment, warehouse security, containers or meters.
  • Plastic seals: For meters, bags and small boxes.
  • Cable seals: Used in areas such as container closures with their adjustable lengths.
  • Lead seals: For low-security situations such as meter sealing but showing signs of manipulation.
  • Metal seals: For high-security transportation (e.g. ISO 17712 certified seals).
  • Electronic seals (e-seals): Equipped with technologies such as GPS tracking, RFID, motion detection.
 
Document Security and Document Sealing
 
  • Stamp and stamp seals: Used on official documents, notary transactions or corporate correspondence.
  • Hologram seals: Provide protection against forgery.
  • Wet seal and wax seal: Old but still used methods in some cases.
 
Packaging and Product Security Seals
 
  • Fragile label seals (void tape/label): When opened, they leave a mark and indicate tampering.
  • Shrink band seals: Frequently used on capped products (food, medicine).
  • Holographic or laser-cut label seals: Provide high brand security.
 
Sealing for Area Security
 
  • Temporary seal systems: To ensure that entrances and exits to areas such as rooms, vehicles or cabins are monitored.
  • Seals integrated into the locking system: Cannot be opened with keys without causing damage.
