Shrink Sleeve Labels & Tamper Evident Bands in the Nutrition Industry

Maintaining product safety and security is crucial, especially in the health and wellness industry. In this blog, we will explore the significance of shrink-sleeve labels and tamper-evident bands in the nutrition industry.

What Are Tamper-Evident Bands?

Tamper-evident bands provide an additional layer of security for products, offering reassurance to customers. Typically made of PVC, PET-G, PLA, or OPS, these bands are commonly used in food and beverage, pharmaceutical, health and beauty products, and various other industries

Tamper-evident bands can be applied as neckbands or as part of a full-body application, covering the entire container and cap. Many bands feature perforations to allow for easy opening by consumers, and manufacturers often use them for marketing purposes by adding logos and text.

Enhancing Product Security

Tamper-evident bands serve as a clear indicator for consumers to determine whether a product has been opened. This prevents tampering and unauthorized resealing of products. Employees can also quickly identify tampered products and remove them from the shelves.

For medium to high-volume applications, a tamper band applicator such as AFM’s CH-100 Tamper Band Applicator, designed for round bottles made of plastic, glass, or metal, offers efficient and fast application. When coupled with a shrink sleeve tunnel like the GS Series tunnel, it ensures secure packaging for products, providing peace of mind to customers.

Resistant to moisture, abrasion, and varying temperatures, shrink sleeve labels and tamper-evident bands maintain their appearance and legibility, making them suitable for storage in various environments.

Providing Key Product Information

Shrink-sleeve labels and tamper-evident bands can include crucial regulatory information such as ingredients, usage instructions, expiration dates, and health warnings, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and informing consumers about their purchases.

Easy-to-remove tamper-evident bands with perforations, along with visually appealing shrink sleeve labels, improve the overall user experience and foster brand loyalty, leading to repeat purchases.

As you have read, shrink-sleeve labels and tamper-evident bands are crucial in the nutrition and vitamin industry. They ensure product safety, enhance brand visibility, comply with regulatory requirements, and build consumer trust, supporting both the marketing and functional aspects of product packaging and contributing to overall market success.
