Abstract
A method for determining whether confidential written material has been tampered with. The disclosed invention comprises the following steps: applying a removable adhesive to one side of an opaque paper masking label; cutting intermittent slits in said opaque paper masking label; embossing the adhesive side of said slit opaque paper masking label over confidential written material to be masked such that when said embossed opaque paper masking is removed from said material to be masked, said opaque paper masking label fragments and disintegrates due to the intermittent slits.
