security tape

Yellow perimeter marking

Security tape is adhesive tape designed to reveal tampering—it leaves visible marks or messages like "VOID" when removed, or tears in distinctive patterns that can't be reassembled cleanly.

Used on packages, evidence bags, and sealed containers where detecting unauthorized access matters: The security tape on the box had been broken.

Also refers to surveillance footage: Police reviewed security tape from the parking garage.
