Abstract
A tamper-evident seal adapted to be attached to a variety of thin-walled containers, including cabinets having glass doors (700), lockers, file cabinets, and the like. Plug-like catches (300) that may be anchored individually in an aperture in a thin wall are connected by a seal element (100) bearing an identification tag (110). Removal of the tag immediately separates the seal element into two parts, each of which can pass entirely through the plug-catch to which it has been connected, freeing the catch to accept another seal. The tag may continue to be used after its removal to serve a commercial purpose, such as offering to a guest who has made use of the sterilized lockers in a resort hotel's weight room a premium for redeeming the tag, thus to create an opportunity to sell the guest a service, perhaps dance or scuba lessons.
