The CONTROLTEK Difference

How CONTROLTEK Helps the Industry Reduce Losses from Theft

The ROI

The following is a real-life example of how CONTROLTEK’s bags helped one client save an estimated $661K per year:

Key Features of CONTROLTEK Bags That Foil Thieves

Freezing Attempt Detection

Intact bag

Freezing activates security ink

High-visibility message signals tampering attempt

Heating Attempt Detection

Intact bag

Red ink reveals that heat was used to open the bag

Water & Saliva Detection

Intact bag with TAMPER EVIDENT message

Using fluids to tamper with the bag smears the security message

Pull & Open Detection

Cut & Seal Detection

Small Openings Prevention

Micro perforation leaves a clear sign that someone tried to pull open the bag

Security border and microprinting eliminate seams that can be compromised by cut and seal attempts.

Triple-seal closure makes it virtually impossible to leave a small opening that can be exploited.

Vault Process Certification

Vault Process Certification (VPC) ensures consistency in performance, stronger plastics, lower weight and higher cost savings.

VPC approved plastic resins contain unique additives that allow the bags to have thinner walls (“lower film gauges”) without sacrificing any of the strength of thicker bags (“higher film gauges”). The result is a lighter bag that saves money on shipping weight and has a lower impact on the environment.

The mechanical properties of VPC bags are strictly prescribed in order to withstand the vigor of cash vault and armored truck environments. Slip level (technically called the “coefficient of friction”) is specially formulated so that filled bags can be palletized without the risk of sliding or bursting.

Bags that earn the VPC seal can provide dramatic improvements in cash management performance, while lowering costs of the vault and other currency handling processes.
