The coronavirus has had an impact on most, if not all, industries everywhere on our globe. Many businesses are hit hard, and only a few are thriving. As a supplier to multiple industries, Mega Fortris has been affected, and our agility and robustness are being tested. But regardless of what is happening in the world, some things, like democratic elections, must proceed unhindered.

Mega Fortris Americas is proud to secure the democratic process when supplying our seals to state departments and county election boards in the US. Recently, Mega Fortris’ Fast Seals, MCLP180 2Ks, MCL350 cable seals and TE Labels were used to secure ballot boxes, drop-off boxes, storage containers and voting machines in the US Presidential election in November 2020.

Each state has its own election rules and regulations, but due to the pandemic, most states were allowing mail-in ballots to avoid large gatherings on election day. In some states, mail-in ballots could be dropped off, mailed or handed in several weeks before election day and many voters acted accordingly. Therefore, the need for sealed storage of more ballots for a long time was crucial to secure the election this year compared to past elections.

Several factors are undermining the trust in fair elections in the US, which is very unfortunate. However, a positive side-effect is that more focus is put on the processes and security devices being used. That is crucial to continue improving and securing this vast and diverse election system that caters to more than 250 million voters and currently has more than 230,000 polling places nationwide.

Mega Fortris’ role in preserving electoral transparency and ingenuity is critical. Our commitment to providing the necessary equipment helps to ensure democracy could take its course. This isn’t just limited to preserving the integrity of the democratic process in the US, but for the whole world too.

Due to high demand we quickly sold out our first batch of stock, the second batch will now be available from Monday 29th June 2020. Preventing the spread of Covid-19 has been the motivation behind the development of these labels. The labels are designed to offer peace of mind by detecting any possible cross-contamination or security breach throughout operations. The labels can be customised if required, so please get in touch if you would like further information on how to implement such safety measures.

Development of Security Labels

Working in conjunction with a large hotel chain, we have developed a new security void label which allows them to stop any cross-contamination for their customers. Mega Fortris UK have developed a Non-transfer void label which is designed to be placed on the door of the hotel room once sanitised. Any subsequent entry to the room once it has been sanitised will be clearly indicated by the label’s void message upon attempted removal. This will allow the hotel to act accordingly if any unauthorised entry has been made to any of the rooms. It will also provide peace of mind to the customer if the label is intact following sanitisation.

“Sanitised” Security Label Features:

  • Our non- residue labels leave a clear ‘Void/Open’ message when any attempt of removal is made. The message will clearly illustrate any attempt of tampering whilst leaving no residue on the application surface.
  • Advanced tamper evident solution with a high contrast matt finish giving an excellent VOID and a surface that can be written on in biro.
  • Protects product integrity and prevents any tampering, unauthorised opening and potential fraud.
  • Exterior doors and panels, catering trolleys, tote boxes, ballot boxes, mobile phones, computer ports, office doors, cupboards, fuel caps, cash boxes, warranty void seals, vehicle doors.

Car dealership Security Label

Our security labels can be adapted for use in many industries and applications. Car dealerships are currently using them to provide a clear indication of when vehicles have been sanitised following test drives/demos, thus preventing cross-contamination and the spread of COVID-19. Utilising the labels in this way provides both the dealership and customer with the confidence that the car they are test driving has been thoroughly cleaned and sanitised.

Retail Industry

The retail industry is having to adapt to new procedures in an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Quarantine of clothes after having been returned or tried on is a procedure all will have to follow. To ensure this process runs smoothly we have developed a quarantine label which allows staff to know when and how long the products have been quarantined.

Other Applications

Our security labels can be applied to a wide range of applications across many industries where safety, preventing cross-contamination and stopping the spread of COVID-19 has to be considered.
