Unlike printed seals, which may include logos, serial numbers, or other custom markings, non-printed seals are typically plain but still designed to show clear signs of tampering, such as breaking, stretching, or leaving residue when removed.

Some customers also tend to overlay their own printed labels on their seals with specific data or details on them.

Stock numbered security seals are the most common choice as they provide a numbering system to your security process but we can deliver them quicker from the stock we currently hold.

Their unique sequential numbering enhances tracking, accountability, and security. As each seal has a uniquely printed number on it, this allows precise tracking of who applied the seal, when, and where.

Custom printed security seals are tamper-evident seals that are personalised with specific text, logos, serial numbers, barcodes, or other unique markings tailored to your company needs. Unlike non-printed seals (plain with no markings) or standard numbered seals (with generic serial numbers), custom printed seals are designed to provide enhanced security, branding, and traceability for specific applications.

Custom printed seals allow for a more bespoke security seal system as unique serial numbers, barcodes, or QR codes enable precise tracking and verification, reducing the risk of seal replacement or fraud.

We have multiple methods of seal printing which include laser printing, inkjet printing and hot foil embossing.

Hot foil stamping is a printing method used to apply metallic or colored foil onto security seals, creating durable and visually distinct markings. This process also has an embossing element to it, should the foil somewhat fade.

Inkjet printing is a digital printing method that propels tiny droplets of ink onto the seal’s surface. Inkjet printing is valued for its versatility, cost-effectiveness, and ability to produce custom designs, particularly for adhesive labels or flexible materials. It is a non-contact process, making it suitable for a variety of seal types and applications, though it may be less durable than other methods like laser printing or hot foil stamping.

Laser printing is the most effective form of printing and produces sharp, high-resolution text, serial numbers, barcodes, or logos, ensuring readability even for small or intricate designs.

Our custom printed delivery times vary depending on the seal you require and the production schedule at the time of your order.

Typically, you can expect to receive plastic seals within 5-7 days. Metal barrier seals may take up to 10 days for delivery of custom printed seals.
