ABSTRACT:
A tamper evident seal for containers having a plastic shrink sleeve placed around the cap and neck and extending over the shoulder. A paper label is placed over a portion of the sleeve to prevent the sleeve from being removed intact. The sleeve has zigzag, saw-tooth perforations above and below a median line. The perforations are between the shoulder and cap of the container. When the cap is twisted and removed the plastic sleeve is randomly fragmented making it difficult, if not impossible to match in any attempt to reseal the container.
