Safe Cap is a technology that can be built into any types of screw caps and give a visual indication (tamper alert) if the bottle, carton or jar have been opened after it was sealed. This can be used for beverages or content that must be kept safe (evidence, dangerous material, strong medicine etc).
A small hole in the top of the cap will show a plastic plate below that have two colours. The colour that is visible will change while opening the cap for the first time. Closing the cap will not return the plate in original position. It is not possible to hide that the seal has been broken. Please check images for alternative versions covered by the patent.

• Easy for consumers to check if cartons have been opened in the refrigerator before they go shopping
