Protect sensitive cargo
Protect sensitive cargo
If you want to be on the safe side, use seals for valuable contents. To open the containers in question, the closures would first have to be removed and destroyed. Tampering is virtually impossible. At the same time, it's possible to determine whether anyone has attempted to gain access. Bito offers plastic sealing aids.
Sealable plastic containers are popular with pharmacies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical retailers for storing and transporting sensitive products. Sectors such as the automotive and electronics industries also use reusable containers for the secure handling of spare parts logistics and electronics shipping. Whether pharmaceuticals, automotive, electronics, document transport, or valuable cargo – the following applies to all: protecting the goods being transported is a priority.
Transport container systems with a wide range of equipment options, individually tailored to the respective applications, can be closed with a lid so that the sensitive or high-value contents are well protected, protected from damage, and remain clean and dust-free.

Bito's new seals are available in various colors and special colors. The warehouse technology company also offers numbering, labeling, or barcoding of the seals. This makes each seal unique. The markings used to identify and register the containers or their contents are laser-cut.
The necessary markings are indestructibly engraved into the disposable seals to protect against tampering. With the free Seal+Track app, the barcodes can be scanned and compared relatively easily.
New to the range are seals with barcode numbers and additional removable labels. These labels can be affixed to the accompanying documents, for example, to allow the recipient to quickly verify the barcode.
The seals are available for all container series that can be closed with a lid.
