A seal for clothing apparel 20 comprises a strip of material having first and second ends (Fig. 1) and a tamperproof coupler 40 for coupling the first and second ends of the strip together. The coupler 40 includes a first coupling element 42 and a second coupling element 44 which lock together to retain the first and second ends. The second coupling element preferably comprises a base 48 and a stem 52 with a head 54. The head and stem are received in holes (34, Fig. 2) provided in the first and second ends of the strip. The first coupling element may be a valve element through which the head of the second coupling element can pass in a first coupling direction but through which the head cannot pass in a second uncoupling direction. The second coupling member may be frangible, in particular the head 54 may be adapted to snap off where it joins the stem 52 to indicate tampering. |
