What is VOID Label Material?

En tant que fabricant direct de matériaux d'étiquettes VOID, Hanksec fournit des matériaux VOID inviolables en PET, BOPP, à transfert complet, à transfert partiel, sans transfert, hologrammes, à base de papier et personnalisés pour les transformateurs d'étiquettes, les usines d'emballage et les projets de protection de marque.

VOID label material is a tamper-evident pressure-sensitive construction that reveals a hidden message such as VIDE, OPENED, or a custom logo when someone tries to remove it. In practice, it works by controlled delamination: part of the construction stays on the package, part stays on the label, and the change is irreversible. Typical constructions use PET when durability, heat resistance, and dimensional stability matter, BOPP/PP when cost, printability, and packaging versatility matter, and sometimes top-coated PE when the package is flexible or squeezable. For regulated and high-risk supply chains, VOID labels are a simple, visible way to reduce tampering, deter counterfeiting, and strengthen trust across shipping, storage, and point-of-sale handling.

VOID label material is a type of tamper-evident security film designed to show a hidden message such as “VOID” when removal is attempted. It is widely used in packaging security, electronics protection, logistics sealing, and brand authentication.

Unlike standard labels, VOID materials provide visible evidence of tampering, helping brands prevent unauthorized opening, fraud, and product replacement.

How VOID Label Material Works

A VOID label is a étiquette de sécurité designed to show evidence of tampering by displaying a message on the substrate, on the back of the label, or both after removal. Label industry references consistently describe three mainstream behaviors: full transfer, partial transfer, et non-transfer. EUIPO describes the technology as a label that deposits some of its colour onto the product as a standard “void” message, custom text, or logo; Label Planet explains that this effect is created through special coatings and laminates that separate or delaminate from the face material during peeling

VOID materials are built with a special multi-layer structure:

When the label is peeled off, the internal structure separates and reveals a hidden pattern such as:

• VIDE
• VOIDOPEN
• OPENED
• SECURITY
• Custom logo
• Fully customized brand text

This irreversible change ensures tamper evidence.

Types of VOID Label Materials

Type de matériau	Effet de preuve de falsification	Résidus sur la surface appliquée	Caractéristiques principales	Applications recommandées
Étiquette VOID à transfert complet	L'adhésif se transfère entièrement aux surfaces d'application après son retrait.	Oui	Preuve d'effraction très visible, effet de sécurité irréversible, forte résistance à l'ouverture	Étiquettes de garantie, scellés électroniques, cartons d'exportation, emballages de grande valeur, étiquettes de sécurité
Étiquette VOID à transfert partiel	Une partie des résidus se transfère sur la surface d'application après élimination.	Partiel	Inviolabilité garantie, finition plus propre, inspection facilitée, convient à la sécurité générale des emballages.	Emballages e-commerce, boîtes de vente au détail, étiquettes logistiques, cartons d'expédition, scellés anti-effraction
Étiquette VOID non transférable	Le message VOID / OPEN VOID apparaît sur le film protecteur après son retrait.	Non	Sans résidus, sans traces d'effraction, surface propre après retrait, convient aux surfaces délicates et de haute qualité.	Conteneurs réutilisables, électronique, dispositifs médicaux, emballages propres, étiquettes pour actifs informatiques, emballages de produits de luxe

Étiquette VOID de transfert complet

• Entire hidden message transfers to surface
• Strongest tamper evidence
• Used for high-security packaging

 Étiquette ANNULÉE de transfert partiel

• Part of adhesive remains on substrate
• Balance between security and appearance
• Used in logistics and retail packaging

Étiquette VOID non transférable

• No residue on surface
• Hidden message appears on label only
• Used for electronics and clean surfaces

 

Pourquoi les marques d'emballage choisissent les étiquettes VOID

The business case for VOID labels is stronger when markets are unstable and supply chains are under stress. The World Bank said in June 2025 that the global economy was facing stronger trade tensions and heightened policy uncertainty. The OECD also projected weaker global growth and emphasized that policy uncertainty and trade frictions were weighing on investment and trade. In that environment, low-cost physical controls that improve pack integrity and claim visibility become more valuable.

The anti-counterfeit case is also clear. OECD–EUIPO’s 2025 update estimated counterfeit and pirated goods at up to 2.3% of global trade and emphasized that expanding supply chains and e-commerce create vulnerabilities that counterfeiters exploit. The same report notes that counterfeit trade poses risks to public safety, disrupts legitimate businesses, and increases pressure on supply-chain security.

VOID labels solve a specific problem well: they provide visible, fast, low-training tamper evidence. PPG states that tamper-evident security labels help manufacturers and retailers safeguard brands, increase supply-chain security, combat counterfeiting, and ensure product authenticity. EUIPO notes that VOID labels are suitable for warranty goods, leased goods, and items undergoing servicing or repair because they show evidence of unauthorized opening or manipulation.

In regulated sectors, the need is more than operational. It is compliance-driven. The U.S. FDA requires tamper-evident packaging for many OTC drug products and defines a tamper-evident package as one with indicators or barriers to entry that provide visible evidence if breached. The European Commission likewise identifies an anti-tampering device as a required safety feature on the outer packaging of medicines under the falsified medicines framework.

That is why packaging needs VOID labels when the risk is not theoretical: they help detect unauthorized opening in transit, reduce return fraud, support warranty control, deter label transfer, and give distributors and end users a visible signal that the pack has not been opened after leaving the manufacturer. YUPO, PPG, and label-industry suppliers all position tamper-evident labels around exactly these use cases: warranty seals, security seals, packaging seals, and asset or component identification.
