Aluminum crimp security seal:

Posted by on January 26, 2012

The aluminum crimp or “flag seal” is an aluminum stamping that is rectangular in shape and contains wire receptacles similar to a solder less connector. This security seal is applied by means of a seal press or solder less connector crimping tool. This seal can be supplied with a company identification and sequential serial. Minimize the length of the wire loop, making the seal a tight fit around the item being sealed. Pass the loose ends of the wire through the seal as many times as possible before crimping. Spirally wound wire is recommended to ensure non-slip sealing. Once this security seals is properly installed, ensure that there is no free play between the seal body and the wire. Verify and record the serial number. Be aware that crimping and pressing dies are easy to duplicate, making most of these seals relatively easy to counterfeit.
