Inventory labels with <strong>security slits</strong> explained

Inventory labels with security slits: protection against tampering

When taking stock of IT equipment, machinery or high-value office furniture, it is not just a matter of recording inventory – it is also about proving that an item has not been stolen or swapped. Inventory labels with security slits make any attempt at tampering immediately visible.

What is a security tear?

Labels with security perforations (also known as VOID labels) are made from a special material that self-destructs when removed. If anyone attempts to remove the label, it breaks into small pieces or leaves a clear “VOID” mark on the surface. The label cannot be removed undamaged and reused.

When is a security perforation useful?

  • IT equipment: laptops, monitors, servers – high-value devices that can easily be stolen. The security perforation prevents anyone from discreetly removing an inventory label or transferring it to another device
  • Leased equipment: Clear allocation to the lease agreement must be guaranteed
  • Testing equipment and measuring instruments: Devices whose identity must be secured for calibration and traceability
  • Vehicle fleet and tools: Mobile items that frequently change location

Tips for application

  • The surface must be clean, dry and free of grease
  • Choose smooth, flat areas – do not stick to ventilation slots or textured surfaces
  • Press down firmly after application and allow to cure for 24 hours before full adhesive strength is achieved
  • Do not stick to surfaces that are regularly cleaned with solvents
