Security Seals to Tighten Global Shipping Security

Reported by Zalud’s Blog, Angola, IN-based TydenBrammall, a leading global supplier of security seals, introduces its new Cargo Bolt I and II, Cargo Bolt I and II Plus, and plastic product line to its broad family of seals designed to help protect and secure cargo shipments. TydenBrammall now has a full product line of Indicative, Security and High Security seals and is a single source for all of its customers’ needs—including air, ocean, truck and rail modes of transportation and other common security requirements. With 16 new seals, shippers have a broad selection to help stop theft and tampering of their shipments. In total, the company has invested more than $2 million in product development and additional sales personnel to fully support the demand for these product lines.    

The Cargo Bolt Series includes the economic Cargo Bolt I and Cargo Bolt I Plus seals and the heavy-duty Cargo Bolt II and Cargo Bolt II Plus seals—to help protect and secure your intermodal containers and high-value, high-risk shipments. Each ensures security and tracking accuracy and complies with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s C-TPAT (Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism) program for cross-border shipments. Cargo Bolt seals exceed ISO/PAS 17712 performance standards for High Security seals in shear resistance, impact resistance, bending strength and tensile strength, and meet U.S. Public Law 110-53 seal requirements. The economic Cargo Bolt I seals are available in a 5/16-inch diameter shank size. Cargo Bolt I Plus seals have a rugged bolt head cover that allows for dual part serialization on both ends of the seal to increase security by preventing the potential for part substitution. Heavy-duty Cargo Bolt II seals are offered in 5/16-inch and 3/8 inch diameter shank sizes. Cargo Bolt II seals have a full steel lock body that provides added strength. Like Cargo Bolt I Plus seals, the Cargo Bolt II Plus seals also include a rugged bolt head cover to prevent the potential for part substitution.  

TydenBrammall’s plastic product line contains 11 new ISO/PAS 17712 Indicative plastic seals, including narrow flat tab seals, beaded seals, beaded tab seals, round smooth seals, and plastic and metal bail padlock seals to meet all of the various requirements for plastic security seals. The entire line is comprised of high-strength, impact- and chemical-resistant polymers that withstand extreme temperatures, offers a tamper-resistant locking mechanism for added security and includes surfaces that accommodate hot-foil, laser and/or label marking for easy-to-read serial numbers.
