tamper seal

Evidence of interference

A tamper seal is a device designed to show visible evidence if someone has opened or interfered with a container, package, or enclosure.

Common forms include plastic bands around bottle caps, foil seals under lids, and numbered tags on shipping containers.

The seal doesn't prevent tampering—it reveals it: The tamper seal was broken, so I returned the medication.
