Abstract (en)

The pouch (1) is made from at least two layers (3) of a plastic material, such as polyethylene, joined together by a portion of their edges and designed to be sealed before being placed inside a container for transport. The material of the container or the seal (10) is able to apply a substance to the contents of the pouch which leaves visible traces of any attempt to tamper with its contents. At least one of the layers making up the pouch has perforations (12) which allow the marking product - a gas, liquid or powder - to pass through. The size and location of the perforations are designed to ensure that all the contents of the pouch are marked as soon as the marking substance comes into contact with them. The pouch is generally rectangular in shape, with the perforations aligned parallel with its outer edges in staggered rows, the area of the perforations being at least 5 per cent and preferably 7 per cent of the area of the pouch.
