tamper-evident
Shows unauthorized access
Tamper-evident describes packaging or seals designed to show visible signs if someone has opened or interfered with the contents: tamper-evident caps on medicine bottles, tamper-evident tape on shipping boxes.
The feature doesn't prevent tampering—it reveals that tampering has occurred.
Common on pharmaceuticals, food products, and sensitive documents.
