Security Tape with VOID effect made of recycled material
At this year’s interpack, Securikett unveiled a new range of SecurityTapes manufactured from recycled raw materials, marking a further step toward more sustainable packaging solutions. The new tapes are a further development and extension of Securikett’s recycled-material label portfolio, which was first introduced in spring 2025.
The newly developed tapes are available in various widths and feature a highly visible tamper-evident opening effect when removed. They are engineered to reliably trigger the VOID effect even when multiple layers of security tape are applied on top of each other, ensuring consistent protection across different packaging scenarios.
A key design element is the adhesive-free zone located in the center of the tape. This feature prevents premature activation of the VOID effect caused by vibration during transport or impacts such as parcel drops, thereby maintaining functionality until intentional opening. Another feature is that the VOID effect is activated even when multiple layers of tape are applied on top of each other, ensuring that any tampering attempt remains clearly visible.
By using recycled materials, these tapes contribute to a more sustainable circular economy while maintaining the high security standards required for product and shipment protection.
Werner Horn, CEO of Securikett, commented: "Our new security tapes made from recycled materials represent another important step toward sustainable packaging solutions, complementing our proven paper-based tapes. For customers who cannot or prefer not to switch to paper, they provide an ecological alternative that enables both secure and more sustainable packaging."
