Abstract
A seal of the type resembling a padlock which comprises a plastic housing having a pair of apertures in the top surface for receiving the ends of a wire shackle. To provide evidence of tampering, by attempts to work a shackle end out of an aperture with a pair of pliers or the like, upwardly extending protuberance are provided on the upper surface of the body, which are mashed down by the tool being used in an attempt to open the seal, thereby giving evidence of tampering. When certain types of colored plastic are used for the seal body, the deformation of the protuberance causes them to turn white, giving further evidence of tampering.
