Tamper Evident Packaging Options
Choose the feature by what should visibly change the first time the customer opens the package.
Tear-Away Strip
A removable top section leaves a permanent visual change after first opening.

A controlled perforation gives a clear opening path and visible evidence of use.
Security Label or External Seal
Can be added where a separate label or seal fits the package and product.

The tamper-evident zone should be planned as part of the pouch top, not added after the dieline and artwork are already finished.
Header Height
Leave enough space above the zipper for sealing and opening.
Tear Feature
Position tear notches or perforations so the first opening is obvious and controlled.
Print Safe Area
Keep barcodes, warnings and important branding out of any removable section.
Confirm the seal and opening area on the final pouch
Opening Experience
Tamper Evident Pouches with Resealable Zippers
A sealed top plus zipper gives customers visible first-opening evidence and then a familiar way to close the pouch after use.
Before Purchase
The top section remains intact and the zipper is inaccessible.
First Opening
The customer removes or tears the tamper-evident section.
After Opening
The zipper becomes the normal reclosure while the changed top shows that first access has occurred.
Pouch format options
Custom Tamper Evident Pouch Styles
Tamper-evident features can be adapted to different pouch formats when the top area provides enough room for the seal and opening path.

Stand Up Pouches
For retail products that also need zipper reclosure.
02
Flat Pouches
For samples, supplements, food portions and compact retail packs.
03
Flat Bottom Bags
For larger food, coffee or pet-product packages.
04
Child-Resistant Pouches
Can combine tamper evidence with a CR reclosure when both functions are required.

Tamper-evident claims
Tamper Evident vs Tamper Proof
Tamper-evident packaging is designed to reveal opening or disturbance; it should not be described as impossible to open or impossible to tamper with.
USE
Use 'Tamper Evident'
Accurately describes visible evidence of first opening or interference.
AVOID
Avoid 'Tamper Proof'
No flexible pouch should be marketed as impossible to defeat without specific evidence supporting that claim.
Check Product Rules
Some regulated products have specific tamper-resistant packaging requirements that should be reviewed separately.
It is packaging designed to provide visible evidence if the package has been opened or disturbed before use.
Yes. A sealed top can provide first-opening evidence while a zipper below it provides reclosure after opening.
No. Tamper evidence shows prior opening, while child resistance controls access by young children.
FDA consumer guidance notes that tamper-evident packaging provides visible evidence of disturbance and that OTC packaging cannot be considered 100 percent tamper-proof.
