How to Choose Between Bolt Security Seals and Cable Seals

Choosing the right seal is extremely important when you need to protect your cargo during the transportation process. One of the most common customs formalities is seal services. This is where Ziwei comes in! They want to show you the differences between bolt security seals and cable seals. Let us discover more about these two seal types, so that you can make the right choice for your requirement!

Bolt Security Seals

These bolt seals are made of high-quality steel. They come with a bolt which keeps them securely in position. As a result, they are incredibly robust and able to endure significant strain, making them the perfect solution for securing important valuables. Examples include electronics, jewelry, or important documents that you really want to get stored safely. Bolt seals offer peace of mind when transporting valuable goods due to their strength and security.

Cable Seals

Cable seals, on the other hand, consist of a kind of strong steel cable. They use a special locking system that holds the two ends of the cable firmly together. Cable seals are one of the most flexible yet easy to handle secure seals. That versatility makes them suitable for a variety of jobs and types of cargo. Cable seals may be implemented for items such as boxes, bags, and/or containers that need to be sealed but will hinder an object that is not as valuable or sensitive as other things.

Having outlined the key differences between bolt and cable seals, let’s consider just how secure you need your cargo to be before you decide. For cases when you are moving high-value items, from high-end electronics to expensive jewelry, you will want a seal that offers the safest tampering prevention. Bolt security seals are the best option in such cases because they are hard to tamper with. But if you’re transporting less valuable items, such as clothing, books, or household goods, cable seals should be sufficient to secure them during transit.

Next, it can be helpful to consider what kind of items you’re transporting. In the case of large equipment or heavy machinery, we recommend and use bolt security seals instead (see here). They seal tighter and hold up to heavier loads without cracking or loosening. Cable seals are best suited for smaller packages or for lightweight containers. Selecting the appropriate seal for the loads you are carrying is critical to ensure they are secure.

We’ll also take a second to compare the pluses and minuses of both bolt and cable seals so that you can see which is right in your case. Bolt seals can only be cut by strong tools as it is tamper-proof and cannot be removed by the person trying to open it. As a result, they are a good option for high-security requirements. The trade-off of the bolt security seal is that it requires a special tool to be removed. That can be somewhat annoying if you need your sh*t quickly. cable lock seal  remove more easily, which may be advantageous when quick access is needed. On the other hand, since/how these seals can be easily removed, they are not so secure as bolt security seals.

So it’s time to consider carefully which seal is right for your needs to be sure that your cargo is safe & secure in transit. The best choice you have for high security cargo and high-value cargo is a bolt security seal. Cable seals are great if you need something flexible and easy to operate. No matter what you choose, just ensure that you pick a seal that best fits your needs and keeps your possessions secure throughout its travels.
