Overview
Standard VOID material is a transfer construction: when the label or film is lifted from the surface it was applied to, part of it stays behind. What remains is a tacky VOID residue that marks the substrate permanently.
It is suited to coated paperboard, glass, plastic and metal — surfaces smooth enough for the residue to transfer cleanly and stay legible. Applications include pharmaceutical packaging, aviation and consumer-goods packaging where a seal needs to prove whether it has been opened.
Where the substrate is corrugated or uncoated paper, the dry-peel construction is usually the correct choice instead, because residue transfer behaves differently on porous surfaces.
Performance benefits
Permanent visible evidence
A tacky VOID residue remains on the substrate after removal and cannot simply be wiped back to an unopened state.
Works across common packaging substrates
Suitable for coated paperboard, glass, plastic and metal.
Suited to regulated packaging
Used in pharmaceutical packaging, aviation and consumer-goods applications where evidence of opening matters.
Converts as label stock
Supplied as film and label material that runs through conventional label converting.

How it works
01
Applied to the substrate
The label or film is applied to coated board, glass, plastic or metal.
02
Removal attempted
Someone attempts to lift the seal.
03
Layer separates
The construction separates and part of it stays bonded to the substrate.
04
VOID residue remains
A tacky VOID residue is left on the substrate, marking it permanently.

How to read these values
- Standard
- Supplied as standard for this product.
- Available
- Available as an option on applicable constructions.
- Custom
- Made to your specification.
- On enquiry
- Confirmed against your application rather than published as a universal figure.
Compliance notes
- Suitability for a specific pharmaceutical or regulated package must be confirmed through application testing. PROASP supplies the material; it does not certify a finished package.

Frequently asked
Anything not covered here, ask the team directly — application questions are usually faster to answer than to document.
Ask a technical questionWhat does the VOID residue look like after removal?
A tacky VOID residue remains on the substrate the label was applied to. It stays visible on the packaging surface, so the evidence is on the package itself rather than only on the removed label.
Can it be used on corrugated boxes?
For corrugated and uncoated paper, the dry-peel VOID construction is normally the correct choice. Standard VOID is designed for coated paperboard, glass, plastic and metal, where residue transfers cleanly and stays legible.
Is this material approved for pharmaceutical packaging?
It is used in pharmaceutical packaging applications, but PROASP supplies material rather than certifying a finished package. Suitability for your specific package and market must be confirmed through application testing, and available compliance documentation can be requested with your product and target market.
What temperature range does it work across?
Share your operating and storage conditions with your enquiry and the team will confirm the current verified range for the grade being supplied, from the latest technical datasheet.
