There is an entire science of tampering with a security seal. This know how is spread over the whole world. Only those people who live daily with the constant confrontation of tampering can oppose it successfully. Nothing and nobody can stop a determined thief with enough time at his disposal, but we can stop ingeniousness to steal a part of the load. An efficient security system requires well trained and trustworthy staff, but also highly reliable seal, produced by companies that are continuously focusing on the tampering evolution. The continuous cooperation between customer and producer will surely lead to the desired result.

  

 According to this state of mind, Leghorn Suppliers offers a free on-line service of consultancy about tampering with containers seals.
