Patent Images
1. A tamper indicating device, comprising:
- a backing including a first phase and a second phase, wherein the backing is light transmissive, and wherein a peeling force causes the backing to internally delaminate and become more opaque;
a first skin layer fixed to the backing wherein the skin layer minimizes pre-destruction of the backing, and has a modulus of firmness (G′
) of between 62169 Pascals and 291163 Pascals at about 77°
F. (25°
C.);
a layer of adhesive applied to the first skin layer.

Abstract
The invention is a tamper indicating device including a backing. The backing includes a first phase and a second phase. The backing is normally light transmissive, but a peeling force causes the backing to internally delaminate and become opaque. A first skin layer is fixed to the backing wherein the skin layer minimizes pre-destruction of the backing. A layer of adhesive is applied to the first skin layer, which can be affixed to a substrate.
