Agricultural security seals
Protect agricultural shipments against tampering and support traceability with uniquely numbered security seals. Hoefon supplies cable and plastic security seals for bags, freight containers, truck doors and tanker hatches. Our agricultural seals help growers, processors and distributors check for unauthorized opening and connect each seal to their shipment records. Choose the right strength, length and identification for your operation. We ship worldwide.
Security and traceability from harvest to delivery
Agricultural goods pass through collection, storage, processing and transport before reaching their destination. Each transfer is a moment to check who handled the shipment and whether a closure has been disturbed.
Cable seals provide a physical barrier where greater strength is needed. Plastic seals offer practical tamper evidence and identification for suitable bags and closures. Both support traceability when their unique numbers are recorded and checked at receipt.
We help you match the seal to your demands and your working process, from a sack of ingredients to a container of agricultural cargo.

Cable security seals
Add a strong barrier to compatible truck doors, containers and tanker closures. Cable seals require cutters for removal and can carry unique numbers for shipment checks.
Plastic Seal DS-F
Close ingredient sacks with an adjustable 400 mm seal. Bag-gripping spikes and a metal locking insert help secure the closure; versions with and without tear-off are available.
Nylon Plastic Seal DSX-500
Reach around suitable closures with a 550 mm nylon seal and metal locking mechanism. Sequential numbering and barcode options support checks at each transfer.
Plastic Seal DSR-250
Identify sealed IBCs, tankers and compatible truck closures with your logo and unique numbers. The smooth, adjustable tail makes this plastic seal quick to apply.

Applications across the agricultural supply chain
Different agricultural products need different handling processes. Select a seal for the actual packaging or transport closure, then define how its identification will be recorded.
- Grain, seeds and animal feed: identify sealed sacks and suitable storage or transport containers. Bag-gripping seals can help secure gathered sack openings.
- Oilseeds and vegetable oils: use suitable seals on tanker access points, IBC closures and freight containers between production, processing and distribution.
- Sugar and other bulk ingredients: make opening visible on compatible bag closures and cargo doors, and link seal numbers to shipping records.
- Potato and poultry processing: check sealed outbound trailers and containers during transfers from processing facilities to warehouses and customers.
- Agricultural cooperatives and commodity traders: use consistent numbering procedures for deliveries collected from multiple suppliers and forwarded to different destinations.
- Farm machinery and equipment distribution: seal compatible transport containers or enclosed trailer doors used to move equipment and parts between dealers and customers.

Cable seals for protection against tampering
Where agricultural shipments need more than an indicative seal, cable seals add resistance to opening. Their flexible cable can pass through suitable door handles, valves or hatches. Once locked, the cable must be cut for authorized removal.
Match cable diameter, length and breaking strength to the closure and required security level. High security models are available for freight applications. For container doors, bolt seals provide a further option.
At each transfer, inspect the seal and closure as well as the printed number. A broken seal or number mismatch is a reason to stop and investigate before accepting the shipment.
Traceability with numbered agricultural security seals
A seal number becomes useful when it is connected to a clear record. Cable seals and all three plastic seals shown above offer identification options to support your own traceability process.
- Record at application. Link the unique seal number to the batch, shipment or container reference, together with the date and person applying it.
- Check at transfer. Compare the number with the transport documents and inspect the seal for signs of interference.
- Document removal or replacement. Record the reason and the new seal number if a shipment must be opened and resealed.
Sequential numbers, company logos and barcode options are available depending on the product. Ask us which print format fits your scanning and recording process. Clear identification helps distinguish shipments and investigate discrepancies.
Choosing seals for bags, IBCs and truck doors
For gathered bags of ingredients, consider the DS-F with gripping spikes. For a closure that needs a longer, narrow tail, consider the DSX-500. The DSR-250 offers an adjustable option for suitable IBC and tanker closures. The exact fit depends on the sealing point, so share its dimensions with our team.
Also consider storage temperature, outdoor exposure and how the seal will be removed. Ask about material suitability and the relevant product documentation if food contact is involved. For bulk liquid transport, our tanker sealing solutions provide further guidance.
