Tamper Evident Packaging from the Packaging Specialist
Sensitive goods need tamper evident packaging that makes any unauthorized access visible at once. The point is not to prevent tampering, but to make it impossible to overlook. At BagMatic you receive this protection matched to your product, industry and shipping route, not as anonymous bulk stock. As an official partner of Advanced Poly Packaging, we supply the bag, the security feature and the matching machine from one source.
The basis is our range of pre-opened chain bags on rolls. They can be fitted with tamper evident closures. A permanent adhesive with VOID effect, a continuous security weld seam or sequential serial numbers are available depending on your protection level. This is how tamper evident packaging is built that matches the security level of your goods without becoming more elaborate than needed.
Availability counts in daily business. We keep common formats of tamper evident bags in stock and convert special versions to size. Standard sealing machines for this tamper evident packaging start at 2,600 euros, so even smaller operations can enter verified security without a heavy upfront investment.

Protection Against Tampering Across the Supply Chain
Tamper evident packaging does not stop theft, it makes theft provable. That is the difference from a merely sturdy wrapper; a tamper evident bag shows every intervention permanently. Once a bag is opened, an irreversible mark stays behind, for example a torn adhesive seam or a visible VOID pattern. The recipient can therefore tell before acceptance whether the goods are untouched.
Which security feature makes sense depends on transport route, goods value and documentation duty. For complete traceability we combine closure and marking, letting a QR & Barcode printer for bag packaging add a serial number or Data Matrix code to each unit inline. The overview below sorts the common features by working principle and use.
| Security feature | Working principle | Visible proof | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Permanent adhesive with VOID effect | adhesive tears the carrier layer on opening | VOID lettering or fibre tear | pharma, documents, returns |
| Security weld seam | bag is sealed thermally | only opens by destroying it | air freight, sterile goods |
| Sequential numbering | unique serial number per bag | number matched against a log | cash in transit, valuables |
| Hologram seal | optically non-reproducible | broken hologram | high-value branded goods |
Several features can be layered, for example a weld seam plus a numbered VOID label, so that tamper proof bags withstand even high demands. What matters is not the number of seals, but that every opening stays clearly documented. Which combination your process needs, we check together before your tamper evident packaging is finalized.
Tamper Evident Packaging Pharmaceutical for Validated Processes
In the medicines sector, tamper evident packaging pharmaceutical has been mandatory since February 2019. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/161 requires an anti-tampering device for prescription medicines, proving first opening. Without a visible tamper indication, a pack must not reach the patient.
The technical requirements for these features are described by the EN 16679 standard. Together with the 2D Data Matrix code from the Falsified Medicines Directive, identification and first-opening proof work hand in hand. For pharmaceutical packaging we supply bags and sealing that implement these rules in running operation, from the sterile pouch with peel seam to the serial-numbered shipping bag of pharmacy logistics.
What secures reproducibility? Our machines check the seal through the integrated Vision System and count the packed units precisely at the same time. This keeps tamper evident packaging reproducible and every batch fully verifiable. On request we accompany the qualification from FAT to SAT in your production environment.
Certified Security for Tamper Evident Security Bags in Air Freight
Air travel has its own rules, and tamper evident security bags must meet them. Liquids, aerosols and gels from duty-free travel in so-called STEBs, the Security Tamper-Evident Bags. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1998 requires such bags to be sealed and the receipt to stay visible.
A STEB is more than a simple zip-lock bag. It carries a unique design, a sequential number and a closure that cannot be reclosed without traces. We manufacture exactly these features for users in the aerospace and defense packaging field and match film, printing and sealing to the relevant security checkpoint.
Beyond the passenger rules, the provable original state counts in freight too. Tamper evident bags with number and barcode document every transfer point along the chain. With several transhipments, tamper evident packaging works more reliably than any later inspection, because an intervention shows up at once instead of only at the destination.
Ask for Your Suitable Security Concept Without Obligation
Which tamper evident packaging fits your goods can rarely be settled in advance by phone. So we start with an analysis of your packaging process and test solutions in our test center before a machine goes into your line.
As a family business in its third generation, we think of packaging as a connected system. Bag, security feature, printing and sealing come coordinated from one contact. If operations stall, our service is reachable across Europe within 48 hours.
New and refurbished machines are ready from stock here, plus leasing for plannable costs. Tell us your product and your security level, and we will calculate the tamper evident packaging that fits exactly. A short call or your enquiry is enough to take the first step.
