Everyone has at least seen destructible vinyl labels on things such as electronic devices and price tags. Also known as tamper evident labels, aside from destructible vinyl, these tags can also be made from a host of different materials such as paper, polyester, and cardboard. These are used by businesses to keep track of stocks as asset or inventory tags and can also be used to help prevent tampering when shipping items.
The usefulness of these labels can be seen in the name itself, which is the destructibility of the tags. They are destructible because once the label is placed on a surface, it is nearly impossible to remove it intact. This is essential when keeping would-be thieves from removing and using the tag for nefarious purposes.
These can also be used to deter would be scammers and shoplifters from removing price tags and placing them on other products, which in turn helps avoid possible losses in terms of profit. This is the reason why most price tags are made from destructible vinyl labels. The level of security it gives to a product helps a retailer sell their items without needing to keep too close an eye on all their merchandise.
Another purpose of destructible vinyl labels is to keep the company’s assets inside the premises as when it is placed on an object, depending on the level of adhesiveness, will not be easy to remove. This makes it difficult to steal the object because of the label with the company or business’s name on it. This deters people who, intentionally or unintentionally, take assets of the company outside the premises.
This tag is also used for warranty stickers on electronic devices so that they can’t be removed and be replaced by newer stickers which may then lead to the company losing money from replacing a product with no warranty. These labels also usually have the words “Warranty VOID if tag is damaged”. Anyone removing said tag and any signs of tampering will devoid the warranty on the item, making any person think twice before messing with such a tag.
These destructible labels help businesses avoid unnecessary losses by preventing people from removing them and replacing them with other tags with malicious intent. They also prevent inventory losses when companies want to keep products inside the premises of the business. They cannot be removed in one piece; they rip and fall apart when someone tries to remove them. They are also very durable and have a long life expectancy due to the exterior grade vinyl that surrounds the label.
This type of label also has the property of being able to be written on with a pen. The flexibility of this tag also helps it when it is applied to curved surfaces. These labels should be placed on a flat or clean surface to be effective, porous or rough surfaces should be avoided when placing this tag to maximize its effectiveness.
