Security Seals Company, American Casting & Manufacturing, Shares Three Safe and Effective Ways to Secure Shipments

PLAINVIEW, N.Y., Dec. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Security seals company, American Casting & Manufacturing, shares three ways that shipments can be secured safely and effectively.

Cargo shipments often involve many items traveling far distances, under the supervision of many different people. Therefore, it can be very difficult to guarantee total security from departure to arrival. From internal liability issues to outside acts of terrorism, the range of possible incidents can be overwhelming. But with the right level of control and security measures, you can rest easier knowing that your load is safe and secure.

Here are three steps you can take to safely and effectively secure your shipments:

1. Set a procedure standard and document it. Throughout the transport, your load may need to be checked, inventoried, emptied, serviced, or cleaned, depending on what it is. Without a proper procedure in place and required documentation, there is no way to know what is happening to the load at what time. This makes it really difficult to detect damage or identify exactly when the load was affected. By establishing a procedure for everything that happens during transportation, and requiring documentation for each step, you have much better visibility into the process from start to finish.
    
2. Layer methods of security. In the case of shipment security, more is better. Layering security methods can be effective in increasing security, especially in more sensitive situations. For example, you can combine security tape with a different type of seal, or combine multiple seals to further deter against theft.
    
3. Utilize tamper evident seals. One of the most effective, yet cost-efficient, ways to protect your shipment loads is using tamper evident seals. They can be used on a wide variety of cargo loads. They can also have an extra layer of security with alphabetical or numerical labeling. Not only will your cargo have a higher level of security, but you will have a greater level of visibility and traceability of the process from start to finish.

Taking these measures ensures the security of your cargo loads. The likelihood of an incident happening is reduced, but if something does happen, you'll know right away. American Casting and Manufacturing takes this need seriously and provides a number of product to address all your shipment security needs.
