The tamper evident hologram labels usually have a "dots" release pattern or words VOID, OPENED, etc. showing tampering. Under normal circumstances, the release pattern will appear when the label is removed after the label has been applied. However, there are certain conditions under which the tamper evident feature can be inadvertently activated during the process of affixing the label. We give below few tips to minimize pre-triggering of the tamper evident feature in labels:

Tip 1: Minimize pressure and contact with the adhesive side of the label. Manually remove the label using light pressure and transfer to your finger. Then, apply the label immediately to the intended surface. The tamper evident feature gets activated the label is positioned on your fingers for long time or if the adhesive side is handled with too much pressure.

Tip 2: When handling the labels, use skin moisturizer to the tips of fingers which will touch the adhesive side of the label. This will minimize the chance of activating the tamper evident feature during application. Otherwise use a rubber finger tip on the finger which is to touch the adhesive label.

Tip 3: Flag the label. In other words, peel back a portion of the liner to expose a small portion of the adhesive side of the label. You now affix the exposed portion of the adhesive to the intended surface. Next peel away the balance of the liner to fully affix the label.

Tip 4: Never use a metal or plastic instrument to affix the label. The hard and dry surface cause the tamper evident release to activate.
