ABSTRACT:
A tamper evident seal and system for use on a variety of container and closure combinations providing a seal across the juncture of the container and closure or across the container opening and positive indication to consumers of tampering with the seal. The seal system comprises the combination of indicia specifically placed on the container and a seal means in the form of a heat shrink band or a foil sheet applied to the container in a manner so as to temporarily obscure the indicia. In a first embodiment the indicia is applied to the container in an area below the neck and the seal means comprises an opaque band adhered to the container and closure over the juncture of thereof and over the indicia. In a second embodiment, the indicia is applied to the lip around the container mouth and the seal means comprises a foil sheet adhered to the lip and covering the mouth. A third embodiment combines the two individual forms into a double seal system comprising the inner foil sheet and indicia and the outer opaque band and indicia.
