Security bags and sealing means.

摘要

The invention relates to a security bag intended for carrying money or confidential documents and which if opened and re-sealed provides an indication that the bag has been tampered with. The bag (12) has an opening means (18) and sealing means (20) comprising a transparent flap adapted to fold over the opening to seal the bag by adhering the bag to an area (23) of the bag adjacent the opening. The sealing means is formed of a material whose surface has a lower co-efficient of friction or is otherwise less retentive of print than the area (23). The sealing means is printed or otherwise marked with a pattern (24) such that when the sealing means is adhered to the area (23) to seal the opening a mirror image of the pattern is transferred to the area while remaining on the sealing means. The sealing means is of a thin easily distorted material making it extremely difficult to match the original pattern once the bag has been opened and if an attempt is made to re-seal it. <IMAGE>
