PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Dec. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Security
seals company, American Casting and Manufacturing, explains how to
choose between bolt seals and cable seals.
Bolt and cable seals offer a way for business to protect their
goods during transport and storage. Both seals provide the user
with added security and safety. However, because each seal has
unique features, users need to select the seal that best suits
their needs. To assist buyers, security seals company, American
Casting and Manufacturing, explains the differences between the two
seals and offers advice to those who are unsure about which type to
buy.
Features Shared by Both Types of Seals
Both bolt and cable seals protect against theft. They require a
strong tool to cut open and are frequently used by transportation
companies to protect goods during transport, and storage. Both are
available with print and numbering.
Bolt Seals vs. Cable Seals
A few fundamental differences exist between the bolt and cable
seal. For example, bolt seals are less flexible. They require holes
to line up and be within a certain distance of each other. Cable
seals, on the other hand, have more give. Consequently, cable seals
are ideal for locking holes that don't line up. You can also string
cable seals through multiple loop points before securing the seal.
Cable seals are available in cable lengths ranging from 6" to
72". When purchasing a cable seal, you can choose from fixed length
or adjustable.
Selecting Bolt Seals and Cable Seals
The type of seal you need depends on what you plan to use it for
and the design of the container you're using. For example, while
most bolt seals can be used to lock containers during domestic and
international travel, only specific cable seals of larger diameter
meet certification standards such as C-TPAT for international
shipping. Meanwhile, all cable sizes are well-suited for regional
transportation including situations when holes on transport
containers don't line up, or require flexibility for closures like
valves gates, and hatches.
Additional Features
Both bolt and cable seals offer several additional features that
are worth considering. For example, some bolt seals do not spin.
The no-spin feature is designed to deter a specific type of
tampering. Other bolt seals feature an identification number on
both the barrel and pin. Some cable seals feature non-preformed
security cable that frays when cut.
