Packaging Tip

Tamper Evident Caps

Looking to be sure your end product has not been tampered with? Then tamper evident caps are an excellent way to go. They offer the end user the comfort in knowing the product they are about to use or consume has not been touched. How does it work? There is a perforated plastic ring attached to the sides of the plastic cap, and a protruding lip on the neck of the bottle. When the cap is twisted off for the first time the ring is torn from the rest of the cap and remains below that lip on the neck of the bottle. The ring cannot be re-attached once it has been removed, so there is no hiding that this bottle has been opened. Customers gravitate toward products with tamper evident features because there is an added comfort and security with knowing your product has not been tampered with. SKS offers a variety of plastic both dispensing and non-dispensing tamper evident caps. Click here to view the tamper evident caps offered.
