ABSTRACT:
A sealing apparatus for identifying access to a postage meter is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a paper seal membrane which is partially exposed to the outside of the postage meter. The membrane is punctured providing access to a locking member within the postage member that allows for the opening of a postage meter door. The locking member has a slidable bolt that is easily engaged after the sealing membrane is punctured. Once the bolt is moved to an open position, access to the setting of the meter or the keyboard is easily accomplished. In accordance with this embodiment, the seal membrane once punctured must be replaced when meter door is closed. Thus, unauthorized access thereto is easily identified inasmuch as only authorized personnel will have access to the seal membrane that can be replaced thereto.
