Driver shipment documents are often completed incorrectly, leading to incorrect or delayed deliveries.
Human errors are a fact of life, but in the shipping business, mistakes can be very costly. These errors can be minimized using TydenBrooks’s unique Serial Number Transfer System. Also known as Laser Tagging, this technology etches a unique identification number onto the surface of the cargo seal’s body. And the removable label simultaneously. The label is removed and placed on the shipping documents, ensuring accuracy, security, and vastly reducing administrative errors.
Laser Tagging can eliminate:
• Transposition of numbers,
• Inaccurate number recording on shipping documents,
• Internal fraud,
• Shipping document deception,
• Seal number tampering,
• Shipment holdups or returns.
Engineered by the world’s leading suppliers of cargo seal products. The patented process greatly reduces tracking errors and tampering in the logistics channel.
Why Use Laser Tag?
A cargo seal’s unique identification number is typically written on the shipment’s bill of lading. This allows the consignee to verify the seal number against the shipping documents, to ensure that no cargo tampering took place during the shipment. TydenBrooks’ Laser Tag technology utilizes a high precision laser to etch the unique serial number onto the seal body and the transfer label at the same time. The specially formulated, re-positional adhesive label, peels off the seal for application to shipping documents. The label shows up clearly on documents and photocopies. The identical serial numbers on the seals and shipping documents ensure accuracy and security.
Eliminates Errors, Reduces Tampering Logistics
Problems occur when the seal number on the shipping document doesn’t match the markings on the cargo seal. Where the integrity of the seal and the cargo is intact. Human error, such as transposition of numbers, often causes discrepancies in shipping documentation. Errors of this nature may not be frequent. But can be very costly should the shipment be delayed or returned because of suspicions of cargo tampering. Utilization of the Laser Tag serial number transfer system eliminates these errors.
Some of customers estimate that the system could save it more than £40,000 by vastly reducing human errors, cargo seal substitution and shipping document tampering.
Laser Tagging Technology Unique To Industry
TydenBrooks has been producing cargo seals for over 100 years. Already providing laser-engraved cargo seal identification to its customers for more than 10 years, the company began development of the Laser Tag technology in 2004.

The FlexSecure FS 35 and FS 15 versatile cable seal, fits many applications and is popular for sealing bulk railcars and intermodal shipping containers and trailers.
