Customs approved seal for transport within the EU
Patented locking mechanism against tampering
300 mm plastic-coated steel wire welded directly into the seal
Navacqs Metal Seals are made from galvanized or plastic-coated steel wire. Due to their material composition, they achieve an average breaking strength of around 50 kg, making manual removal impossible. Despite their strength, these seals can be applied easily without tools; a cutting tool is only required for removal. Each seal is permanently marked with a unique serial number that is produced only once, ensuring full traceability and immediate detection of tampering.
The Navacqs range includes three core models: the Tyden Ball Seal with its classic locking ball mechanism, the Metal Flat End Seal Guard Lock with a patented closure design, and the Twist Seal with a transparent housing and plastic-coated wire cable.
The Tyden Ball Seal and Metal Flat End Seal are designed for securing TIR cables and trailer doors. The Tyden Ball Seal is customs-approved for road transport within the EU.
The Twist Seal, featuring a transparent body and plastic-coated wire, is ideal for securing gas, water, and electricity meters, as well as compact technical equipment. All three models are resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring the integrity of the seal during transit and use.
Metal band seals typically have a breaking strength between 45 and 52 kilograms. The Tyden Ball Seal achieves approximately 52 kg, while the Metal Flat End Seal Guard Lock reaches about 45 kg. The Twist Seal derives its strength from its unique internal clamping mechanism around the wire cable. In all cases, a heavy-duty cutter or bolt shear is required for removal.
All Navacqs Metal Seals come standard with a basic imprint and unique numbering. For orders of 1,000 pieces or more, seals can be customized with a company name, logo, or customs/TIR identification number.
The Twist Seal can be ordered with a colored internal locking insert, while the Tyden Ball Seal and Metal Flat End Seal can be customized with a personalized print. For example a company name or other unique characteristics. Production begins upon approval of the artwork, ensuring a security seal that is both safe and uniquely identifiable.
A metal seal is a seal made of metal, with a breaking strength of 45 to 52 kg. You use a metal seal when a plastic seal isn't strong enough and the seal must not be openable by hand. Metal seals are easily applied by hand, but can only be removed with pliers. They're used in transport, logistics, and for sealing meters and technical equipment.
Metal is stronger than plastic. A metal seal has a breaking strength of 45 to 52 kg, while the strongest plastic pull-tight seal reaches a maximum of 40 kg. Metal also doesn't deform under pulling force, which matters in applications where force is placed on the closure, such as trucks or TIR cables. Metal seals are also resistant to extreme weather conditions and seawater.
The Tyden Ball Seal is approved by Dutch Customs and therefore suitable for moving goods within the European Union. The Metal Flat End Seal doesn't have this approval. For container transport outside the EU, neither is sufficient; an ISO 17712:2013 certified high security seal is mandatory for that.
No. Metal seals have a breaking strength of 45 to 52 kg and can't be broken by hand. Pliers or cutters are needed to remove them. They can, however, be applied by hand, without tools.
