  • Patent number: 5312680
    Abstract: Stain-loaded seals and stain-free seals for packaged documents bear matching, identifying numbers or like symbols on their upper surfaces, respective coatings of adhesive on their lower surfaces, and respective peelable sheets of backing material covering their adhesive layer. The stainloaded seal bears one or more frangible containers of staining material which is released if there is an attempt to remove the seal after the seal is adhered to a substrate. The stainfree seal is adhered to an envelope or package as a seal so that any attempt to open the package or envelope will result in tearing of the seal and thereby evidence that the package or envelope has been opened.

  • Patent number: 4516679
    Abstract: A multipli-layered tamper-proof wrap consisting of a number of over-layed thin plastic sheets bonded around the outer edge to contain one or a number of chemical layers therein, appropriately separated, whose penetration or puncture will result in a visual indication at the puncture, and including distinct seals fixed at spaced intervals to the outer or external wrap sheet that indicate wrap or product origin and are to discourage wrap substitution. The wrap is for encapsulating a consumer product so as to provide a continuous wrap surface therearound that will give a visual indication of a breach in wrap integrity at a point of penetration or puncture.
