A locking device or security seal includes a locking element, a locking body and a label adhesively applied to a surface of the locking body. The locking body is configured to receive an end of the locking element therein to secure the security seal at an object. The label has indicia formed therethrough and the locking body has the same indicia formed in its surface via a laser etching process. The label is removable from the surface of the locking body and is applicable to a tracking form to record identifying indicia of the security seal. The laser beam may be selected to selectively burn through the label material and at least partially into a non-metallic material of or at the surface of the locking body, without substantially burning into the locking body, such as into a metallic locking body or into a non-metallic or polymeric locking body.
