VOID Labels: Why Use Them?

Professionals are increasingly aware that, for themselves and for the reliability of their inventories, they need VOID labels such as barcode labels.

This VOID label is specially designed for complex environments and regular inventories that involve handling. It withstands temperatures from -40°C to +180°C, as well as exposure to oil, humidity, cleaning agents, and UV. All our VOID labels come with a 1-year warranty. You can choose a white or metallic finish.

The distinctive feature of VOID labels is the mark left by the label’s adhesive when it is removed. This mark serves to prove tampering. VOID labels are commonly used for three reasons:

- Combat fraud and theft

- Protect products while identifying them, sealing the item and its packaging

- Guarantee and verify product origin

All our VOID labels use partial-residue adhesive. Partial transfer means the adhesive splits in two, leaving a residue on the surface when the seal is removed. The label can technically be re-applied, but the tamper evidence remains visible.

High-Quality Labels with a Refined Finish

This VOID label is made of three layers with a flawless finish.

The first layer is a very aggressive acrylic adhesive, tamper-evident VOID (metallic or white), ensuring excellent adhesion. If removed, it will leave a mark both on the label itself and on the product.

The second layer is a flexible backing in clear polyester, resistant to humidity and common cleaning agents.

The third layer is a topcoat with a satin feel that efficiently absorbs label-printing inks, which bond into the surface.

How Are VOID Labels Used?

VOID labels have many and varied applications. They are used to seal packages and parcels to monitor tampering. They also serve as identification labels and are often applied to sensitive products to prevent counterfeiting and theft in the workplace. Generally, labels are numbered or include a barcode and other information (warranty, commissioning date, etc.).

VOID labels are used by embassies and police stations as seals for confidential case files. Tamper-evident labels are therefore a solution to a wide range of issues.

A Customizable VOID Label

To simplify your stock management and enhance your brand image, you can add variable data to your VOID labels such as serial numbering, barcodes, QR codes, as well as fixed elements: text and logos. Printing is high-resolution thanks to the use of premium wax/resin ribbons for a high-quality result. It can be done in black or color, as you prefer.

Personalize your VOID labels yourself with a thermal transfer label printer. Save both time and money.

A High Level of Security

These tamper-evident labels ensure an optimal level of security because once applied to the relevant equipment, they will leave a VOID pattern if removed. With these VOID labels, you’ll have irrefutable proof of a tampering attempt or that someone simply tried to remove the label. After removal, the label cannot be reused.
