Carton & Pallet Tape
Security Tapes
Tamper-evident carton and pallet tape that closes the outer container.
Security tapes secure cartons, cases, and pallets - the outer layer of any packaged shipment. HSA Security Solutions supplies serialised, covert, water-activated, and gummed variants that surface tampering at the most accessible layer of the supply chain.
Product overview
What this physical product is
Security tapes include covert security tape, serialised security tape, water-activated tape, and gummed paper tape. Each variant produces an irreversible OPENED / VOID message on removal or slitting. Serial numbering links each tape application to a Trailio checkpoint event at the warehouse or port.
Selection & deployment
Select the product, substrate, closure, identifier and workflow for the operating environment. Physical products provide closure or tamper evidence; digital identity, event records and verification require a compatible Trailio deployment.

Capabilities
What this product does
Each capability maps to a Trailio digital surface - authentication, custody, verification, or analytics.
-
Tamper-evident VOID on slit or peel
The tape fractures to reveal OPENED / VOID whether peeled or slit with a knife - defeating casual tampering.
-
Serialised variants
Sequential numbering and barcoding link each tape application to a Trailio checkpoint event.
-
Covert feature set
UV-reactive and micro-text inks deter determined replication and support forensic post-incident investigation.
-
Water-activated & gummed variants
High-strength water-activated and gummed paper tapes bond permanently to corrugated carton substrates.
-
Custom print & branding
Available with corporate logos, handling instructions, customs messaging, or multi-colour security print.
-
Carton & pallet widths
Stock widths cover single-carton sealing through to pallet-level strapping applications.
Trailio Integration
How this product integrates with Trailio
Every physical event - a seal applied, a label scanned, a bag closed - becomes a verified digital record inside the Trailio audit chain. The workflow below illustrates the operational handshake.
-
Carton or pallet sealed
A serialised HSA tape is applied to the carton or pallet at the warehouse.
-
Serial registered
The tape serial is scanned at the point of sealing; Trailio opens a checkpoint window.
-
Transit checkpoint
At each transit handoff - port, airport, distribution centre - the tape serial is re-scanned to confirm integrity.
-
Tamper event
If the tape is slit or peeled between checkpoints, the VOID message surfaces and Trailio logs a tamper event against the serial.
-
Delivery & close
On delivery, the receiver scans the tape serial; Trailio closes the checkpoint window with a verified acceptance event.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
-
What's the difference between security tape and security labels?
Labels are typically applied to single items or small packaging. Tape is applied to cartons, cases, and pallets - the outer container. Many deployments use both: labels at the item level, tape at the carton and pallet level.
-
Do tapes leave residue on removal?
HSA tapes are engineered to reveal a VOID / OPENED message rather than transfer residue. The substrate remains clean; the tamper evidence lives in the fractured tape itself.
-
Can I serialise every tape application?
Yes. Serialised variants carry unique numbering and barcoding so each application can be linked to a Trailio checkpoint scan.
