Abstract (en)

A sealing system for tamper-proof sealing an item. The sealing system comprises: a housing (102, 104) enclosing an internal volume (116) and being provided with a transparent area (102b, 104b); a sealing wire fixedly positioned in the housing and forming a loop projecting from the housing, which loop is configured to seal the item; and a plurality of visually distinct elements (106) fixedly disposed in said internal volume and forming a pattern which is visually identifiable through the transparent area. The plurality of visually distinct elements are visually detectable from the outside of the seal and form a tamper-proof unique and random identifier which is destroyed when someone opens the housing.
