Label Lock launch scores ‘no marks’ for security industry

Security Labels International has announced the launch of Label Lock for security labeling.

Label Lock is the latest product to grace the portfolio of the Cannock, UK-based company, part of the Mercian Labels Group. It is available for distributors to stock in bulk, yet each label has a unique number.

Because the surface of each security seal changes dramatically once removed to display the words ‘opened’ – but leaves no marks on the product it sticks to – Label Lock is seen as ideal for items that will be re-used.

Sales director Hugo Gell said: ‘A padlock can be picked, unlike Label Lock which will seal everything from doors to CD and DVD cases without the need to drill holes or spend money on electronic monitoring. It’s designed initially as a deterrent, but the label tells you instantly if someone’s tried to get past it, and it can’t be replaced because every label has a unique number printed under the surface. What’s more, there is no sticky mess left behind once you’ve removed it.’

The product is the result of years of development and investment by Security Labels International. Dr Adrian Steele, managing director, has pioneered the R&D behind the technical aspects of the product: ‘This has been a very challenging and exciting project. We were determined to present a good British-made product that was designed without compromise to perform a very demanding job. Technically advanced and highly innovative, we believe that this product will be at the forefront of value-added security systems the world over.’

‘Label Lock labels will be distributed worldwide through a carefully chosen network of distributors,’ added Hugo Gell. ‘Having tried to quietly test them in the market place prior to launch, we found ourselves faced with an alarming and immediate demand. The Security Industry is crying out for innovative, unique, cost effective solutions, and we now have the ideal product to deliver just that.’

Adrian Steele added: ‘Once we were satisfied that the product was technically sound and market tested, we faced the immediate challenge of being able to supply a hungry marketplace. Happily, the investment we have made in infrastructure, technology and machinery have paid off, and we are now in a strong position to supply globally and in bulk.’

LabelLock labels are entirely manufactured in the heart of the UK by Security Labels International. The business employs close to 20 people and has a turnover in excess of 1,000,000.
