FIPS 140‑2 Tamper-Evident Security Labels
Maximum-security seals for the most sensitive applications
Our FIPS 140‑2 labels are unlike any other seal we produce. Choose from standard or tamper-evident versions, custom printed with your text and logo, with barcodes or serial numbers, small minimum orders and fast turnaround — all at no extra charge.
The base material is a clear polyethylene film with an extremely sensitive, solvent-based adhesive. It carries a blue colour and a release agent, so any attempt to remove the seal leaves the word “VOID” behind on the surface. Trying to re-apply the seal then shows clearly that it has been tampered with. Because the film is highly pliable, it conforms easily to different surface textures, and the adhesive releases cleanly while activating the void message.
Crucially, these maximum-security labels work on cardboard — where most security seals fail. Ordinary seals pull fibres from the cardboard surface and never properly activate the void message, which means they can be lifted and re-applied with no sign of tampering. Our FIPS 140‑2 seals do not have this weakness.
A word of care: remove the seal from its backing paper gently, as even the warmth and contact of your fingers can begin to activate the message.
Sizes and printing
The FIPS 140‑2 seals come in 23mm × 50.5mm and 23mm × 101mm as standard, with other sizes available for specific applications. White is the only print colour visible on this seal, so barcodes cannot be printed — however, serial numbering is available. The seals are waterproof and durable, though, like all high-security films, they have a limited outdoor life expectancy. They were specifically engineered to withstand exceptionally harsh testing designed to defeat any attempt at removal.
How FIPS 140‑2 seals are tested
Accreditation to the FIPS 140‑2 standard involves a series of deliberate attacks on the seal, including:
- applying extreme cold (for example, with a freon spray)
- applying heat with a hot-air gun
- scraping with a razor blade or scalpel
- attacking the seal with common solvents and chemicals — all without damaging the item beneath
The test laboratories’ exact procedures are never published and remain entirely confidential, to prevent third parties learning how to defeat the seals.
Ordering and samples
Because of their high-security use, FIPS 140‑2 seals cannot be ordered online — we personally approve every order. We can supply printed samples, but they are defaced before posting. As this material is intended for genuinely sensitive and secure environments, we only provide samples to organisations whose request we can fully verify.
For the same reasons, we cannot publicly list where these seals are used, which makes it difficult to advertise the fact that they meet the FIPS 140‑2 standard. If you need high-security, tamper-evident seals that reveal any sign of unauthorised entry, these are the best available.

What is a FIPS 140‑2 security label?
A FIPS 140‑2 label is a maximum-security tamper-evident seal that meets a US federal standard for resisting tampering. It leaves a permanent “VOID” message if removed and is built to survive cold, heat, blade and chemical attacks.
Can FIPS 140‑2 seals be printed with a barcode?
No. White is the only visible print colour on this material, so barcodes can’t be reproduced — but each seal can carry a unique serial number.
Why can’t I order FIPS 140‑2 seals online?
Because of their high-security use, we personally approve every order and verify each request before supplying samples or product.
