When valuable goods leave a warehouse, they often pass through several stages before reaching the customer. During that journey, businesses may have little control over who handles the package or whether it has been accessed. This is why void labels have become an increasingly important part of modern packaging and security procedures.

Unlike ordinary labels, void labels are designed to reveal visible evidence if someone attempts to remove them. Instead of peeling away unnoticed, they display a clear VOID message or show obvious signs of tampering, making it easier to identify unauthorised access before products reach their destination.

STIKON offers a wide range of security labels to suit different applications. Depending on the level of protection required, customers can choose between no-residue labels and total transfer residue labels. This allows businesses to select a solution that matches both the surface and the intended use.

No-residue labels are particularly useful where the surface needs to remain clean after the seal has been removed. They are commonly used on vehicle and aircraft doors, cabinets, containers, glass and painted surfaces. They provide clear evidence of tampering while allowing a new label to be applied without leaving adhesive residue behind.

Where permanent evidence is preferred, total transfer residue labels leave a visible VOID message on the application surface after removal. This makes them suitable for cartons, packaging and other applications where any attempt to gain access needs to be immediately identifiable. Plain, printed and sequentially numbered options are also available to support different operational requirements.

Selecting the right void labels is not simply about choosing an adhesive. Surface type, security requirements and whether residue should remain after removal all influence the most suitable product. Having these options available allows businesses to apply the correct level of protection without changing their existing packaging process.

Whether used for logistics, aviation, electronics or general commercial packaging, security labels provide an extra level of confidence throughout handling and storage. STIKON's range of void labels has been developed to help businesses protect products, support traceability and provide visible reassurance whenever security matters most.
