Millipore innovates packaging with new tamper-proof security seals

Millipore's BioPharmaceutical division, based in Billerica, Massachusetts, US, has developed new tamper-proof security seals for ensuring product integrity on filtration products.

The seals are one component in a series of quality and security enhancements developed by Millipore that help customers maintain sterility and improve productivity.

Located on the outer corrugated package, the security seal provides visible assurance of intact packaging. If the seal is broken after leaving Millipore facilities, white adhesive is left behind displaying the word 'Opened' on the tape. In the unlikely event that a package arrives at a customer site with a broken seal, Millipore will replace the products at no cost.

The security seal is being utilised on packaging of filter products manufactured at Millipore's Jaffrey, New Hampshire facility.
