What is a brittle (destructible) label?
A brittle (destructible) label is a security sticker designed to break into pieces if removal is attempted, making reuse impossible. This makes it ideal for preventing counterfeiting, theft, and tampering. Typically made from fragile vinyl or specialty polymers, these labels can include your company name, ID codes, barcodes, or QR codes. Production involves professional graphic design, high-quality printing (digital or offset), strong adhesive application, and precise die-cutting. They’re used for organizational asset control, electronics warranty seals, security packaging, and medical equipment. Research suggests brittle labels can increase asset security by up to 35% by deterring unauthorized access.

Features and benefits of brittle labels
Thanks to their fragile structure and security properties, brittle labels are ideal for high-security applications. When tampered with, they shatter and clearly reveal interference, preventing unauthorized transfer and counterfeiting.
Key benefits include high tamper-fracture, strong adhesion, compatibility with digital tracking systems, and cost-effectiveness. Features include:
- High fracture on removal attempts
- Strong adhesive for permanent mounting
- Barcode and QR-code printing for tracking
- Tamper and counterfeit resistance
- Ideal for warranty seals and assets
- High security for sensitive equipment
- High legibility for easy scanning
- Various colors (white, silver, yellow)
- Cost-effective for large runs
- Branding with logo and custom info
- Compatible with digital and offset
- Best on smooth, plastic surfaces
- Builds trust in product warranties
- Limited environmental durability
- Professional look for branding
Types of brittle labels
Brittle labels come in multiple variants to meet diverse security and operational needs. Material, color, and security options can be tailored to the use case.
From white brittle labels for electronics to colored labels for asset categorization, there are many options. Common types include:
- White brittle labels for electronics
- Silver brittle labels for high readability
- Colored brittle labels (yellow, blue, red)
- Label with permanent adhesive
- Label with custom barcode or QR code
- Single-color label for lower cost
- Full-color printing for visual appeal
- Label with protective overlaminate
- Thin label for small devices
- Thick label for uneven surfaces

Brittle vs. other labels
Compared with paper, clear, PVC, and holographic labels, brittle labels behave differently. Paper is low-cost but non-secure and easy to tamper with. Clear labels offer transparency but no fracture feature.
PVC is flexible and durable but suits simpler security tasks. Holographic labels provide advanced visual security at a higher cost. Brittle labels deliver high tamper-evidence at an economical price. The table below compares them:
| Feature | Brittle label | Paper labels | Clear label | PVC label | Holographic labels |
|---|
| Security | Very high | Low | Low | Moderate | Very high |
| Tamper-fracture | Very high | Low | Moderate | Moderate | High |
| Moisture resistance | Moderate | Low | High | High | High |
| Cost | Moderate | Low | Moderate | Moderate | High |
| Primary application | Security, warranty | Dry environments | Clear packaging | Industrial | Advanced security |
Why choose brittle labels?
Brittle labels are ideal where high security is required—such as warranty seals, asset control, and security packaging. Their fracture behavior prevents tampering and counterfeiting, building trust with customers and organizations.
They integrate with digital tracking via barcodes and QR codes. Studies indicate brittle labels can reduce theft and counterfeiting by up to 35%. In Iran, they’re widely used across electronics, medical, and corporate sectors.
