Unpacking warning packaging technology

For many agencies or organizations, one of the most important safety issues is that the packaging must clearly and reliably show that it has not been damaged. Walsall Security Printers provides special materials and processes that can instantly show signs of damage. These technologies are undoubtedly a deterrent. The company can also use reliable anti-counterfeiting technology to ensure that the unpacking warning seal is not imitated by others.

The widespread use of digital printing technology allows criminal groups to easily imitate labels and packaging, which makes counterfeit goods more common and has led to the infringement of the spread of international quotas for product patents and illegal transactions, which has placed tremendous pressure on the victims.

According to a survey conducted by the Economic Crime Research Organization (ECD), in Russia last year, more than 40,000 people died from drinking counterfeit vodka.

As we all know, there is a way to make a lot of money in certain areas of Southeast Asia. It is to search for empty bottles that can be refilled with fake wine and sold publicly. This is a very dangerous thing, but simply adding an unpacking warning sign to the original bottle can stop it.


The dangers of fraud, overstocking, and theft occur at every stage of the product, from design, raw materials to wholesale and retail. Products that enter the store after packaging are still vulnerable to those who want to “purchase without purchase”.

In order to prevent product from being infringed, the film winding or heat shrink wrapping box is a solution to the problem, but in the end will only reduce the promotion of the packaging appearance, and increase the packaging cost.

As far as this issue is concerned, the sealing tape used by U.S. and Australian postal services is a cost-effective solution. Venture Cartons saw the potential of this approach in the retail sector and developed the use of sealing tapes for cartonboard materials, which are now licensed in the UK.

Trevor Clarke, general manager of ventures, believes that sealing tapes are cost-effective and safe for both manufacturers and retailers. He said: “Protecting goods in the process of storage and transportation is always a difficult problem. Loss of parts often leads to product returns and causes additional costs for repackaging, re-transporting, and parts themselves.”

“Wrapping and shrinking films, while effective, have increased the packaging process and have affected the overall effect of printing. At Venture, we have a keen interest in the simplicity of this design idea. As part of the structural design, this type of seal will Makes the manufacturer abandon other costly protection methods while also improving the overall image of the package.”

The unpacking warning design has the characteristic of enhancing the effect of the trademark, which is a category that most convenience food manufacturers have not fully exploited the potential so far. Sean Fortune, head of structural design at Siebert Head, said: "People often see the use of unpacking warning designs as a mandatory requirement, and then use it as part of the packaging process or packaging technology to separate the original intention from the trademark."

“Any unpacking warning and child abuse prevention function should be considered as an opportunity to enhance the brand's effectiveness. It can highlight product personality and strengthen the three-dimensional effect of the trademark. They can not only express the characteristics of the product, but also enhance the product through packaging. Affinity."

The simplest way to make the unpacking warning device increase the unique performance of the trademark is to press or print out the company's logo or name on the unpacking warning device.

PP Payne's Supastrip XL Impact adhesive tape can print text messages and patterns, and can accurately overprint 8 colors in different widths. This overprint capability provides manufacturers with the opportunity to effectively enhance the role of the trademark.

Supastrip Impact strips have the advantage of ensuring product safety and easy tearing. In addition, it can be used to create eye-catching promotional tools, and as far as possible highlight the promotion of goods, is a cost-effective means of communicating with customers. The pattern and color matching the outer package can enhance the packaging effect of the product.
