Returnable Transit (RTI), Cable Tie & Tamper Evident RFID Tags UK

Plastic pallets, bale arm food crates, Dolav bins, IBCs, scaffolding bundles, and sealed distribution trolleys and containers pose two unique challenges: low surface energy (LSE) plastics shed ordinary glue in crate wash tunnels, while high value transit loads need instant proof if a seal is cut. GJBS supplies industrial RTI crate transponders, heavy duty RFID cable ties, and electronic tamper sensing seals.

STOP BUYING REPLACEMENT PLASTIC PALLETS & CRATES EVERY YEAR

Track Returnable Crates, Totes, Dolavs & Kegs Across Every Customer & Wash Cycle

Food processors, bakeries, breweries, and automotive tier suppliers lose thousands of expensive returnable trays, Dolavs, and plastic pallets every year because manual paperwork never proves which depot kept them. Confidex Carrier RTI tags + GJBS dock portals automate outbound and inbound crate balances per customer.

WIRELESS TAMPER DETECTION FROM METRES AWAY

Audit Sealed Transit Trolleys & Containers Without Manually Tugging Every Seal

Traditional numbered plastic security seals only work if a guard walks up with a clipboard and physically pulls each seal to check it hasn't been cut. Electronic UHF tamper seals tell your GJBS handheld or doorway portal immediately if any loop has been breached.

TECHNICAL & COMMERCIAL FAQS

RTI / Cable Tie / Tamper Buyer & Engineering FAQs

Why do ordinary barcode and RFID stickers fall off plastic crates and pallets?

Crates and pallets are moulded from HDPE or Polypropylene, low surface energy (LSE) plastics designed to release cleanly from injection moulds. Standard acrylic adhesives cannot wet out LSE plastic, whereas Confidex Carrier uses engineered rubber/modified acrylic RTI adhesives.

Can we print onto Confidex Carrier RTI tags ourselves?

Yes, Confidex Carrier Classic and Tough II are supplied on rolls for thermal transfer printing and UHF encoding inside standard industrial RFID printers, or printed/encoded by GJBS.

How does an electronic tamper evident RFID seal work without a battery?

Dual loop ICs monitor continuity across a secondary conductive trace inside the seal strap or label. If the strap is cut or peeled, the IC permanently sets its tamper status bit, which any GJBS UHF reader detects wirelessly during a standard sweep.
