DataLase and TamperTech Introduce New Tamper-Evident Tape

TamperTech and DataLase have joined forces to introduce a cutting-edge tamper-evident tape, purpose-built for businesses using—or planning to adopt—photo-based scanning and coding systems to boost packaging security and traceability.

This next-generation tape incorporates DataLase’s photonic pigment technology directly into its material structure, enabling it to interact with light emitted from existing imaging, scanning, or vision systems on packaging lines. Unlike conventional solutions, it requires no dedicated or database-driven scanners—only compatible light or laser-based inspection equipment.

The result is an intelligent, sustainable solution for packaging that delivers instant, non-contact tamper detection and product authentication—without the need for separate labels or ink-based printing. Whether you're enhancing current systems or planning future upgrades, this scalable technology provides a streamlined path to improved supply chain visibility and product protection.

By applying DataLase’s pigment chemistry as a coating on paper or film, the tape eliminates the need for traditional sealing tapes, labels, and ink-based printing. This provides a high-performance, energy-efficient solution that advances both security and sustainability goals.

Beyond securing packages, the tape enhances visual appeal and delivers essential product information—all in one step. Its efficient design helps reduce waste, streamline logistics, and lower transportation costs—making it ideal for modern, sustainability-conscious supply chains.

A standout feature is the tape’s integrated, customizable track-and-trace capability, enabling real-time digital verification and seamless integration with existing logistics systems. This enhances protection against tampering, counterfeiting, and theft.

Unlike traditional tamper-evident tapes that rely solely on physical indicators, this innovation combines visible evidence of interference with digital assurance—addressing growing demands for transparency and regulatory compliance.

“Our collaboration with TamperTech represents a major step forward in secure packaging,” said Ally Grant, Chief Technology Officer at DataLase. “By embedding our pigment technology into tamper-evident tape, we’ve created a smart, sustainable solution that enables real-time verification without the need for labels or complex scanning systems.”

Harriet Chiles, General Manager at Tamper Technologies, added, “This partnership allows us to deliver an unmatched level of security and efficiency. The solution not only protects products and brands but also supports sustainability by reducing material use and eliminating traditional printing.”

The technology has wide-ranging applications across industries. In pharmaceuticals and healthcare, it helps combat counterfeiting and meet regulatory standards. Logistics providers benefit from enhanced transit security, while e-commerce and retail gain consumer trust with visible, tamper-proof packaging. Electronics manufacturers can address warranty fraud, government and defense sectors can secure sensitive materials, and food and beverage companies can improve safety and compliance.
