The Tyden Ball Seal is a trusted metal fixed length seal approved by European customs authorities. Designed over 60 years ago and still widely used today, its simple yet highly reliable design has made it a standard choice in the transport industry. With a high breaking strength of 52 kg, it provides dependable security for trucks, TIR cables, and containers used for intra-EU transport. Each seal is uniquely numbered and printed for easy identification and traceability. Note: Containers shipped outside the European Union must be secured with a High Security Seal compliant with ISO 17712:2013.

Customs-Approved Seal for Intra-EU Transport

The Tyden Ball Seal is one of the few seals in the Navacqs range approved by Dutch Customs for transport within the European Union. This approval allows goods to be safely transported between EU countries without additional sealing requirements. For international shipments outside the EU, a High Security Seal meeting ISO 17712:2013 standards is required.

Proven Design Trusted for Over 60 Years

The Tyden Ball Seal features a time-tested construction that has remained unchanged for over six decades. Its durable steel strap and precision-engineered locking ball ensure consistent reliability. The metal insert inside the ball functions as a locking mechanism: once the strap clicks into place, the seal is permanently secured. A distinct clicking sound confirms proper locking.

High Breaking Strength of 52 kg

Made from high-quality steel, the Tyden Ball Seal offers exceptional strength with a breaking load of 52 kg. This level of durability prevents the seal from being removed by hand — cutting tools are required for removal. Despite its strength, the seal can be applied quickly and easily by hand, without any special equipment.

Ideal for TIR Cables, Trucks, and Containers

The Tyden Ball Seal is designed for heavy-duty transport applications. Its narrow strap fits easily through the end loops of TIR cables, making it a popular choice for securing truck tarpaulins and rear doors. It also fits standard locking mechanisms on truck and trailer doors. Additionally, it can be used to seal containers used for transport within the European Union. For intercontinental shipping, however, a certified High Security Seal is required.

Unique Numbering and Tamper Evidence

Every Tyden Ball Seal is produced with a unique serial number and permanent imprint, ensuring complete traceability. Once locked, the seal cannot be reopened without visible signs of tampering. This provides a clear visual indication of any unauthorized access.
