Tamperguard Develops Sustainable Tamper-Evident Tape Solution Using NatureFlex™ Films

Tamperguard’s innovative new tape provides exceptional protection for businesses and consumers alike, and incorporates Futamura’s NatureFlex™ film. The tape features advanced security elements that make it easy to detect
tampering. ’If an attempt is made to remove the tape, it will leave a non-stick ‘void’ message on the surface, indicating interference. The tape’s adhesive remains on the surface, preventing resealing and safeguarding the contents.
“The collaboration between Futamura and Tamperguard marks an exciting milestone in delivering sustainable tamper-evident solutions and represents a growing interest in the application of tapes using NatureFlex films,” says Christopher Tom, Division Manager of Sales & Marketing Futamura Americas. “We are thrilled to support Tamperguard in offering a tape that combines the unique properties and sustainability credentials of NatureFlex films with their expertise in tamper-evident technologies.”
NatureFlex films are derived from responsibly sourced renewable wood pulp from PEFC-certified plantations and meet global standards for industrial composting, including BS EN13432 and ASTM D6400. They are also certified by TÜV Austria for backyard composting. In addition to providing an environmentally responsible solution that aligns with Tamperguard’s sustainability values, Futamura’s NatureFlex™ films offer excellent technical performance. Their inherent antistatic properties make them particularly advantageous for thin films used in tape applications for automatic case sealer machines.
The new tamper-evident tape seamlessly integrates into existing product lines,
ensuring a smooth transition for customers. Its easy tear and cut properties make it versatile for a wide range of applications, offering convenience without compromising performance.
Jesse Drori, representing Tamperguard, said, “As a leading provider of tamper-evident tapes and labels in the packaging industry since 1993, Tamperguard is committed to innovation. (…)
