U.S. Based Bolt Seals Manufacturer, American Casting and Manufacturing, Discusses Choosing Between a Bolt Seal and Cable Seal

PLAINVIEW, N.Y., March 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. based bolt seals manufacturer, American Casting and Manufacturing, discusses choosing between a bolt and cable seal.

There are many types of security seals, and sometimes, it might be difficult to choose the best one for the job. This is especially true in cases where there is more than one option that has similar functionalities. For example, bolt seals and cable seals both offer ways to secure shipments and protect goods. They require a cutting tool to remove and are both available with printing and numbering options. They are both good choices for protecting cargo during transportation and storage. However, each has unique features that makes them better suited for different situations.

American Casting and Manufacturing explains the differences between bolt seals and cable seals and offers advice for choosing the best one for your needs.

Here are some key differences between bolt seals and cable seals:

• Bolt seals are not as flexible as cable seals since they require a certain amount of space to line up the holes where the bolt is inserted. This limits the shape, size, and surroundings of items that can be sealed with bolt seals. Cable seals, on the other hand, are ideal for locking items of irregular shape or size. Cables can be looped through spaces of almost any size and can be strung through multiple points.
• Bolt seals are made with heavy duty steel pins, making them very strong and require bolt cutters to be removed. Some cable seals, however, have the tamper-preventing advantage of wires that fray when they are cut, so they cannot be reattached.

When deciding between a bolt seal and cable seal, it's important to closely examine the details of the situation. For example, most bolt seals or cable seals would be sufficient in locking containers during general travel, but if you need to meet C-TPAT standards for international shipping, only certain diameters of cable seals would be acceptable. While bolt seals provide extremely high levels of protection against tampering, cable seals fit a larger variety of uses due to their spatial flexibility.

Both bolt seals and cable seals are effective types of security seals and should both be utilized at some point. However, their slight fundamental differences make them better suited for slightly different jobs. Understanding the key differences will help you choose the seal that will protect your goods the best.
