VOID Security Labels (Tamper-Evident)

VOID security labels leave a "VOID" message or pattern on the surface the moment someone tries to peel them off. Nobody can reapply them cleanly, so tampering shows at once. We make holographic and plain VOID security labels, warranty seals and numbered security holograms for clients in Baku. They form the protective side of our hologram stickers range.

Businesses use these tamper-evident labels as warranty seals, packaging seals and document protection. For example, service centers seal device screws, and beauty brands seal box openings. Either way, the goal is to show that nobody opened the product before the customer.

How VOID security labels work

A VOID security label combines a special film with a patterned adhesive layer. At first, it looks like an ordinary sticker. However, once someone peels it, part of the adhesive stays on the surface and the rest leaves with the label. As a result, a "VOID" message or diamond pattern appears on both.

Even if someone sticks the label back, the message stays visible. For a step-by-step look at the mechanism, read how VOID labels work. For related standards such as ISO 22383, see the International Optical Technologies Association (IOTA).

Holographic VOID vs plain VOID film

Holographic VOID security labels add an optical effect that is hard to copy. Plain VOID film, by contrast, costs less and is easier to print on. Silver VOID, for example, prints serial numbers and barcodes cleanly, much like our barcode labels. We confirm available films when you order.

Residue and non-residue tamper-evident labels

With residue VOID, the message stays on the surface after peeling. It shows tampering most clearly, but you need to clean the surface afterwards. With non-residue VOID, only the label shows the message, and the surface stays clean. That suits rental equipment and reusable containers.

Typical uses for VOID security labels

• Warranty seals: on device screws and housings (see electronics labels).
• Packaging seals: across box openings (see beauty brand labels).
• Delivery: on courier bags and container lids.
• Documents: on certificates, envelopes and archive folders.
• Assets: as inventory tags on company equipment.

In every case, the key question is who may remove the label, and when. The answer decides the residue type, size and placement.

Custom text, logo and shape

A standard label shows the word "VOID". However, you can replace it with "OPENED", "AÇILIB" or your company name. This needs a custom pattern, so the minimum run and lead time increase. In addition, we can print a logo, phone number or sequential serial number, which makes warranty registration much easier.

How to apply VOID security labels

• Clean the surface of dust, grease and moisture.
• Work at room temperature, since adhesive grips poorly when cold.
• Press the label firmly over its whole area.
• Allow about a day for full adhesion before testing.
• Avoid rough, porous and fabric surfaces.

Minimum order and lead time

The minimum run for VOID security labels depends on film type, size and customization. Holographic VOID labels usually need a minimum run of 1,000 to 5,000 pieces, and production can take about 10–12 days. For plain VOID film, your quote states the terms.

What affects the price

• Film: holographic VOID costs more than plain VOID.
• Effect: residue and non-residue types differ in price.
• Custom pattern: your own wording needs setup.
• Numbering and size: extra steps and material.
• Quantity: the more labels you order, the less each one costs.
