Security seals / Security labels work in two different ways. The first way is when any attempt is made to lift them and gain entry they will fragment. The second way is that the security seal will leave behind (on the label surface) a distinctive pattern if it is lifted, even when it is replaced where lifted.] The white destructible tamper proof seals have are a thin film similar to PTFE Teflon tape that plumbers use for sealing pipe joints, however with a very strong adhesive which will work on almost any surface. A low stiffness allows this security label to be used on pebbled, ridged and other textured surfaces. They will also work over a screw head. The label / seal is about impossible to remove even a small portion without tearing. Chrome security labels are made from polyester (Mylar) and have a permanent acrylic adhesive so that if the seal is removed then a pattern is left on the surface. The adhesive requires room temperature for a minimum 36 hours to cure. This material may be unsuitable for low grade plastics however on painted and bare metal and many other smooth and clean surfaces these security labels will withstand rough handling, lasting years! The metallic foil backing on these labels is considered conductive to electricity.

Should you follow grams on nutrition labels or cups?
You should follow whichever is easiest for you to understand. I personally have a hard time looking at food and figuring out how many grams it is, so I use cups, because that is a measurement I'm used to seeing. If you are following a menu plan that asks you to weigh your food, your scale will have a grams option, and make the grams option easier.
