ABSTRACT:
A tamper-proof seal for sealing a bag or the like is provided. The seal includes a housing having a strap engagement device, and a strap coupled to the housing. The strap engagement device includes a locking member that lockingly engages a surface of the strap when the strap is inserted into the housing. The locking device is movable towards the strap upon an attempt to disengage the strap from the locking means. The strap includes a pair of adjacent protuberances located near the housing. When the strap is tightened about a bag, the protuberances clench the bag material while providing a convenient slot in which a knife can be inserted. A loop member may be coupled to the housing. The loop member includes an opening through which the strap is inserted prior to inserting it within the housing.
