Abstract
A reusable security seal comprising a first member including a plurality of frangible sections, each frangible section having a first clasp portion and an identity associated therewith is provided. A housing is coupled to a first end of the first member and includes a second clasp portion disposed at least partially therein for cooperating with the first clasp portion. The first member and the housing form a closed loop extending between the cooperating clasp portions. The first clasp portion and the second clasp portion are adapted for substantially locking engagement, so that pressure applied to the closed loop will cause at least one of the frangible sections to break before the clasp portions will unlock.
