turvakettad

Turvakettad, a Finnish term translating to "safety discs" or "security discs," refers to a type of tamper-evident seal or label designed to indicate if a container or product has been opened. These discs are typically applied to packaging, closures, or openings and are engineered to break, tear, or leave a residue if an attempt is made to remove or tamper with them without authorization. The primary function of turvakettad is to provide a visual assurance of product integrity and to deter theft or unauthorized access.

These seals are commonly found on a variety of products, including pharmaceuticals, food items, electronics, and sensitive documents. The design of turvakettad can vary, but they generally consist of a material that adheres strongly to the surface it's applied to. When peeled or disturbed, the disc either disintegrates into small pieces, reveals a hidden message (such as "VOID"), or leaves a distinct and irreversible mark, making it obvious that tampering has occurred. The use of turvakettad is a crucial aspect of product security and supply chain integrity, offering consumers and businesses a reliable method for verifying that a product has not been compromised since its packaging.
