Whether you're looking for single use plastic padlock security seals, or heavy duty tamper resistant padlocks, Yoseal have a solution.
Padlock type seals are a type of security seal that are designed to secure various items such as luggage, storage containers, and equipment. They are named after their appearance which resembles a traditional padlock. These seals can be made of various materials, including plastic, metal, or a combination of both.
Padlock type seals are used to prevent unauthorised access and tampering of items. They provide a visible indication of tampering as they cannot be removed without breaking the seal, making it evident that the item has been compromised. These seals are commonly used in the transportation and logistics industry to secure shipments and prevent theft or contamination. They are also used in the healthcare industry to secure medical equipment and medications, and in the retail industry to secure display cases and storage areas.
Padlock security seals are designed for ease of use and have the similar attributes of fixed length seals whilst tending to be smaller.
For certain applications with eyelets such as airline trolleys, data or valve cabinets the padlock seal benefits from hanging flat against the door or inside the cupped recess in the example of an airline trolley.
Ideally a padlock seal can be closed using one hand and if not properly locked or tampered will spring open, thereby attracting attention to its status.
Checking the integrity of a padlock seal can be achieved by giving it a quick tug, if the seal has been tampered it will no longer have its original strength and will open easily.
