Why do businesses need quality security deposit bags? Employee pilferage can have a significant affect on the profitability of companies, particularly small businesses. However, employee schemes to pilfer cash fade away after businesses add hi-tech cash bags to the money transfer process. Quality deposit bags provide physical proof of tampering, which discourages employees and others from pilfering small amounts of cash on a regular basis.

Canvas or vinyl bags with inadequate locking devices are at high risk for theft. Often, businesses don't realize money has been stolen. A competent employee or thief can pilfer money from improperly secured cash transfer bags for a long time without being caught.

Using canvas or vinyl deposit bags is also risky during the transfer process to the bank when armored car personnel, bank tellers or staff and others are handling the cash bags after they leave the company's property .

Third party transportation services transfer money from many locations to service the banking industry. This procedure provides another opportunity for personnel to remove money from the cash bags and assuring that disagreements will arise from the bank, the business and the transportation service provider regarding which company is responsible for the cash loss.

A secure state-of-the-art deposit bag will include the following features:

• A design that displays obvious tear marks or signs of mutilation when the deposit bag is tampered with or the edges are cut and resealed.

• State-of-the-art, self-sealing permanent security seal that indicates when the seal has been tampered with by mechanical, thermal or chemical techniques. If the seal has been tampered with the word "void" appears.

• Designed with side seal security.

• Bar code sequential serial numbers that match the tear-off receipt which allows for accurate record keeping and tracking of the deposit bags.

• Custom printing on the deposit bag to place important information such as the name of the cashier, register number, the content and the date.

• Resistant to punctures and various solvents.
