Tamper-Evident Band Applicators
Tamper-evident bands give customers a clear sign that a cap or lid has not been opened. The applicator must place the band consistently so the finished seal looks intentional and easy to remove.

Visible security
Tamper bands need clean position and perforation.
A good band sits level, shrinks evenly and tears as intended. Poorly positioned bands can look unprofessional or make opening difficult.
- Level band position
- Perforation location
- Consistent shrink around cap
Machine choice
Choose around the pack range.
Different caps, jars and bottle sizes may need different guides, mandrels or setup settings.
- Diameter range
- Band height range
- Change parts and setup records
- Choosing only by machine speed before testing the real container and sleeve
- Ignoring pack stability, side guides and conveyor transfer points
- Using the wrong tunnel route for the sleeve material or bottle shape
- Leaving cut length, lay-flat or perforation tolerance until after ordering
- Forgetting coding, inspection, accumulation and downstream packing space
Avoid poor fit
Common issues to check before ordering.
Small pack or sleeve differences can change the correct applicator, mandrel, conveyor and tunnel arrangement. These checks help prevent a machine being chosen on headline speed alone.
