Tamper evident definition
Tamper evident products are designed and manufactured to protect products or means of transport from being meddled with or contaminated during storage or transportation, whether it is the end user or one of several responsible actors in the production and supply chain.
Lack of goods or contaminated products are some of the problems linked to unauthorised access to goods or means of transport.
Therefore, the main purpose of tamper evident products made by LeghornGroup is to provide clear and visible signs that a package or means of transport have been tampered with
It goes without saying that a tamper evident product may also be improperly opened, but its technical characteristics make it extremely difficult, if not impossible in some cases, to reuse it, showing evidence of tampering
The commitment of a manufacturer of security products to create innovative products by increasing their tamper-proof specifications, guarantees the customer from any unauthorized access to goods, whether we are dealing with tampering or contamination.
This commitment is rewarded by the customer’s trust and loyalty, who feels confident in choosing the product that best suits his needs and which is made by experts of tamper evident systems.
Tamper evident products offer a major advantage to both the consumer goods manufacturer, the carrier and the end consumer.
Customer trust & loyalty
Let’s take as an example a security seal for transports: the seal becomes a visible deterrent against any form of tampering. The better a seal is and the more difficult it is to tamper it with, the more companies will save on costs from missing or contaminated goods while ensuring that products arrive intact at their final destination.
Overall, there is a wide range of tamper evident solutions, from seals for different applications to ultra-destructible or VOID labels, security envelopes which have a progressive numbering, security bags and pallet covers.
All these products must satisfy customers requirements to identify, protect, control and track goods, whether a traditional mechanical product is used or an RFID and electronic solution is chosen.
Specifically, by RFID solutions (acronym for Radio Frequency IDentification) we are referring to all solutions that use radio frequency to uniquely identify an asset, a vehicle, a person.
In authentication and anti-counterfeiting and/or tamper applications, RFID-based security devices combine unique identification with the integrated ability to automatically store and communicate data without contact and line of sight, Thus interacting with computer systems for the automatic and real-time collection and processing of information.
Therefore, RFID tamper evident products are designed to significantly improve security in their field of application, such as transport and international trade, with the advantages of low cost and ease of integration and application.
Employee training
You can choose the best tamper evident products available on the market, but if they are not properly used, they won’t satisfy your requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that your employees are trained in the correct use of all tamper evident systems that the company offers and that they are able to drive the customer to the product that better satisfies his requirements.
It is important to rely on a partner with extensive experience in tampering prevention: his advice can be valuable. The advice of an expert in tamper evident products often enables maximum security results to be achieved at the lowest possible cost.
LeghornGroup works with the most important consumer product companies, with the main international transport players and with electricity/ water/ gas distributors, by solving daily dozens of extremely different problems related to any type of tampering

Cargo security
Securing shipments (both goods sent and received) has become a major concern for companies. Overall, the volume of goods traded with any carrier is increasing sharply as a result of the markets. The integrity of the delivered packaging is an increasingly important and current element: just think of the exponential growth of e-commerce, a phenomenon that has allowed the international sale of online products to exceed the sales of services (70% versus 30%).
Let’s look at some of the most commonly used types of tamper solutions for protecting goods during transport.
Security seals are one of the most popular solution of tamper evident products. They can be:
- indicative seals: both in plastic or metal with a low or medium tamper evident results depending on the tensile strength of the seal
- high security seals: metal seals with high tamper evident performing results
Each type of seal listed, if it is also made in RFID technology version, offers significant benefits since it cannot be replicated/cloned (unique number) and it can be tracked automatically. Electronic seals are also essential devices to support digitisation of operations and paperless data exchange across supply chains.
Finally, electronic seals provide a range of additional information related to the monitoring of the supply chain and communication of unauthorised access.
Mechanical and RFID security seals
Ultra destructible labels
With reference to security labels, an important role is played by ultra-destructible labels, which completely flake off when attempting to remove them from the surface. They can be also marked with a specific progressive numbering.
Tamper evident adhesive labels are made of different materials depending on the final application purposes and surfaces, with particular attention to security and traceability. They can be made by including RFID technology – both NCF, HF and UHF.

RFiD Solutions
LeghornGroup is able to manufacture tamper evident products that embed RFID technology for automatic identification and assets traceability. We support the customer in the technical choice of the best combination of RFID chip, memory and antenna, depending on the required performance in the specific use case.
LeghorGroup tapes and labels are adhesive security solutions that are specifically designed to provide evidence of unauthorised tampering by leaving visible traces on the surfaces which they are applied to;
you can choose to protect your goods by using this solution that once it is removed from the surface, it leaves a film behind showing a Void/Open message as evidence of tampering.

security envelopes
Among the wide range of tamper evident security envelopes of LeghornGroup you will surely find the product that meets your requirements. We can supply different models starting from envelopes with strong adhesive without numbering up to envelopes with double numbering and Void tamper evident adhesive.
Tamper evident security envelopes may be printed in different colours and branded according to customers’ needs.
Furthermore, security envelopes with NFC chip embedded can be supplied to allow the tracking of the envelope. All the information stored in the chip can be read using a simple Smartphone and sent to the control unit to for checking purposes.
Pallet covers are available in various materials, including polyethylene, and protect products from any kind of tampering or inconvenience that may occur during transport. You can anchor the cap to the pallet using a traditional plastic security seal or an RFID e-seal.
Therefore, this type of solution allows to cover all the goods of the pallet that can no longer be easily tampered with.
Pallet covers
Security bag for boxes
As much as you can secure and seal a cardboard package, even with adhesive tape on all opening sides, there is always the risk of being able to open it with a sharp, remove a part of the goods and close it without causing any suspicion until the package arrives at destination.
This can be easily avoided by using a security bag for boxes. As an example, LeghornGroup offers LYON bag, which can be fastened with a numbered security seal to avoid any kind of tampering action. This is suitable also to be used in small shipments related to catering, small electronic products or pharmaceuticals ones.
