Sealing using Roll Tin Sealing Pliers NZT-2
The traditional version is the lead seal. These round seals have a thickness of approximately 5 mm and are available in two diameters: 8 mm and 10 mm. They are widely used in technical applications such as gas, water, and electricity meters. By threading sealing wire through the seal and crimping it closed with sealing pliers, a reliable and tamper-evident closure is created. Lead seals are supplied in 1 kg bags and offer a robust solution where durability and reliability are essential.
Plastic lead seals are a modern alternative to the traditional lead version. Made from high-quality polystyrene, they have a standard diameter of 9 mm. A key advantage is the availability in multiple colours such as red, yellow, green, and orange, as well as neutral shades like black, white, and grey. The colour coding makes the seals highly visible and easily identifiable, improving inspection efficiency.
For situations where speed and convenience are important, hand-closing seals offer the perfect solution. Unlike traditional seals, no sealing plier is required — the seal simply clicks shut by hand. This makes them ideal for high-volume sealing environments or situations where tools are not readily available. The quick and easy application supports efficient workflows.
Rolblik seals are especially common in Belgium and are also used by Dutch customs authorities. This sealing method requires a special tool that rolls the sealing wire tightly into the metal seal, locking it securely in place. Rolblik seals are designed for applications where maximum tamper resistance is required and where seals must only be broken in a controlled environment.
Aluminium lead seals are designed for heavy-duty and long-term use. The strong aluminium material is resistant to extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Combined with stainless steel sealing wire, these seals provide a highly durable solution for outdoor or long-term sealing applications. They are widely used in industrial settings and long-term storage.
For enhanced identification and tamper protection, lead seals can be customised with an engraved logo or text. The sealing plier’s dies are engraved with your chosen design (up to six characters). When the seal is crimped, this engraving is pressed directly into the seal surface, creating a unique and traceable mark that helps prevent fraud and misuse.
A lead seal is a small metal or plastic component used together with sealing wire and sealing pliers to seal something. You thread the sealing wire through the object to be sealed, feed both ends through the seal, and crimp the seal shut with sealing pliers. After that, the wire is fixed in place, and the seal can't be opened without visible damage.
There are four types. Traditional lead seals are the most classic variant, made of a soft material and easy to crimp shut. Plastic seals are a modern alternative, available in several colours for quick identification. Aluminium seals are harder and more resistant to moisture and weather, suitable for outdoor use. Snap seals are aluminium seals closed by hand without pliers, useful when speed matters or no tools are available.
Colour codes are used to quickly distinguish seals from one another without having to read them. Think of red for rejected installations, green for approved meters, or a specific colour per department or inspection round. Plastic seals are available in red, green, yellow, blue, orange, black, white and grey.
Aluminium seals are the most suitable for outdoor use. The material withstands rain, moisture, extreme temperatures and seawater. Combined with stainless steel sealing wire, this creates a fully corrosion-resistant seal that stays reliable for years, even offshore or in other harsh outdoor environments. Lead and plastic seals are less suitable for prolonged use in wet or aggressive environments.
