Protecting your earnings and stock is of the utmost importance in any business. Lead security seals can help you hold on to what you've earned as well as let you know when anyone tries to get to it. Designed with tamperers in mind, a lead security — or pull-through — seal is installed with wire that is manufactured to break off at certain points during removal. That means you'll be able to tell right away if anyone tries to get to whatever the seal protects. You can easily find companies online through a lead security seals list to safely transport freight, money and many other items.

Consult a lead security seals list as well as the following resources for the best and most secure seals:

1. Companies that provide wireless, customizable seals in an array of sizes

2. Vendors who sell pre-wired lead security seals in bulk

3. Manufacturers of security seal wire and other seal accessories

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Find pure seals from a reputable lead security seals provider

A lead security seals provider with the best seals will offer a variety of types and sizes as well as seals without wire attached so that you can cut the wire to desired length for custom jobs. The seals should have a high lead content since many companies prefer to customize their seals with a series of letters or numbers for identification purposes.

I recommend: America's largest producer of security seals, United Security Seals, offers free product samples. Italian company Leghorn offers wireless, 99% lead security seals in nine sizes.

Find lead security seals from bulk vendors and save money

Buying pre-packaged quantities of seals online can bring down the price per seal considerably -- sometimes as low as a quarter each. Companies that keep them in stock typically offer highly reputable brands as well as same-day shipping. Find bulk sellers online via a lead security seals directory.

I recommend: Grainger offers pre-packaged bulk sets. American Casting and Manufacturing, manufacturing quality seals since 1910, has bulk packs in a variety of sizes.

Get lead security seals information and accessories from seal vendors

If you've got good lead security seals information, you know that you'll need a press, commonly called a bulldog seal press, to install your lead security seals. Wire cutters can easily open your seals but only a seal press can secure them. Find presses and other necessities, like wire for custom-length seals, through some of the same vendors you use to purchase the seals.

I recommend: Dickey Manufacturing Company carries seal presses. Acme carries presses as well as rolls of wire.
