Let your customers know their food hasn’t been opened during delivery by using Tamper-Evident Labels<\/a>. The labels are impossible to remove without being destroyed, giving your customers confidence their food is safe and secure upon delivery. Whether you own a restaurant, bakery, donut shop, coffee house, or other retail location, once the items leave your store these labels will ensure your customers that their food hasn’t been tampered with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These specially engineered labels feature a strong permanent adhesive and perforations on the label face that break apart when someone tries to remove them. The matte white material used for our tamper-evident labels is oil-resistant and freezer-safe. You can also write on the labels with permanent markers<\/a>, gel pens, or ballpoint pens to personalize your labels with names, dates, contents, or special requests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tamper-evident labels also work great for grocery stores and other retail locations that make and package their own edible items and place them on shelves for display. If someone tries to open the container in-store, the label will break apart, alerting employees and other customers the item has been tampered with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part about our tamper-evident labels is they can be customized. Add your logo or special message by using the free Avery design software<\/a>. Once you select what size tamper-evident label <\/a>you need, you’ll be taken to our design canvas. There you can either upload your own artwork or use one of the pre-designs featured above. Just browse the food safety<\/em> category in our design canvas to find your favorite design. Then customize and order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brand & seal to-go containers for food safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For curbside pickup, takeout and other to-go options where you don’t need as much security as delivery items, try food security seals.<\/a> You can order blank food security seals by the sheet<\/a> that you can print yourself as needed from a laser or inkjet printer, or order custom printed food security seals<\/a> on rolls or sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The food-safety seals, when combined with our permanent adhesive, give an extra layer of security to takeout bags, boxes, foil containers, and other to-go items. They also provide a great space to add branding and other messaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like our tamper-evident labels, you can easily customize the food security seals using the pre-designs featured in the image above or by uploading your own graphics in Avery design software<\/a>. Just pick the size label you need, find your favorite design or upload your own and customize. Then you can simply print them yourself or let us print them for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For POS customization, use a pen or permanent marker<\/a> to add special requests or other important information to your labels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right size food safety labels <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To help you find the perfect size for your containers, we put together a list of common uses and the size label that fits best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
