Both label types are described as 'tamper-evident,' but the mechanics are different and so are the right use cases.
VOID-residue construction
VOID-residue labels are constructed in two layers. When the label is removed, one layer stays on the asset and the other layer comes off, revealing a checkerboard VOID pattern on both pieces. The tampering is visible on the asset and on the removed label, providing audit evidence in both directions.
Destructible vinyl construction
Destructible vinyl labels rip into small fragments when removal is attempted. Reapplication is impossible. There is no residue pattern, just a destroyed label.
Which to choose
Use VOID-residue for IT asset audits where the auditor needs to verify the original label was on the original asset. Use destructible vinyl for warranty seals and chain-of-custody where the question is binary: has this been opened, yes or no.
