Protection from tampering - Transparency tamper-evident seals

Transparency is an Amazon Brand Protection program that prevents counterfeits from reaching customers through product serialization. The program also offers the option to print and apply Transparency labels in the form of tamper-evident seals. Sellers who own a brand can now protect their products from tampering, in addition to preventing counterfeit.

Transparency tamper-evident seals comply with Amazon’s safe factory seal requirements for hygienic and topical products. Please refer to the ‘Hygienic and topical products – packaging and sealing requirements’ Help page to learn more about the new requirements, the recommended guidelines, and examples of products with safe factory seals on them.

Transparency tamper-evident seals:

A complete solution that protects genuine products against manipulation

Transparency seals bear a unique code, which is scanned to verify that every unit shipped to customers is authentic. In addition, Transparency seals enable Amazon to prevent the resale of opened hygiene and topical products, and you to protect your customers from both counterfeiting and tampering.

What are the eligibility requirements for Transparency?

To join Transparency, sellers will need to:

• Verify themselves as the brand owner of their products by enrolling their brand in Amazon Brand Registry
