Understanding Security Seals
Comparing Security Threats Worldwide
Comparison of Threats on a Global Scale
In today’s digital era, there is widespread recognition of the importance of antivirus software in safeguarding against web threats like malware, identity theft, and online fraud. Users take extra care to ensure their antivirus is set to “auto-update” and conduct regular virus scans for peace of mind in the face of evolving online threats.
Interestingly, when it comes to companies prioritizing supply chain security, there’s a surprising oversight. Many fail to regularly assess the features of the security seals they employ. This oversight means they may be unaware of the benefits or potential risks these seals pose to the vulnerability of their supply chain.
What Does a Security Seal Mean?
A security seal is a special lock with a number on it that gets put on things like doors or containers to stop anyone from opening them without permission. Once it’s on, you can’t take it off without breaking it, which makes sure it can’t be used again.
These seals can be made of plastic or metal and come in three types, depending on how strong they are:
- High-security seals
- Security seals
- Indicative seals
The crucial element in a high-quality security seal lies in its features that indicate any attempts at tampering. The Octopus Seal is one of the best security seals on the market for protecting your pallets. With over 40 years of experience, Headland International has demonstrated exceptional proficiency in crafting these seals, establishing itself as the premier choice for ensuring the safety of goods during shipping.
Why should we use security seals?
Different seals are designed to meet specific criteria for various applications. Some criteria are established by programs like C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) and other global standards. However, in many instances, the requirements for security seals are defined by the specific application or situation in which they are employed.
In the logistics industry, a notable proportion of tampering takes place before the carton, truck trailer, or ocean container even leaves the loading point. Therefore, users of security seals who intentionally opt for seals crafted to enhance the detection of prior tampering will enjoy reduced theft and heightened security benefits.
Frequently, the disparity in cost between using an inadequately designed security seal and opting for a uniquely crafted product that genuinely enhances the supply chain is typically only a few cents per seal. Thus, a cost-benefit analysis is likely to demonstrate the advantages of choosing well-designed security seals. Headland International has garnered trust from numerous prominent brands for over 40 years, relying on our security seals to ensure the security of their goods.
Our commitment to design excellence is evident throughout our entire product development process, specifically focused on crafting security seals falling into the latter category. Our products deliver substantial value to end-users by providing the highest level of tamper detection.
