When a product must shout “untouched” from across a warehouse or a pharmacy shelf, nothing does the job faster than a red fragile sticker printed on genuine eggshell paper. The vivid crimson catches the eye, and the moment the label is disturbed, the paper itself shatters into a snowstorm of tiny fibers—evidence that cannot be realigned or re-applied. This guide walks you through every detail, from the science of the substrate to the simple three-click purchase path at voidmaterial.com.

The Science Behind Eggshell Paper

Eggshell paper is not simply thin; it is engineered to be micro-destructive. At 50 gsm, the sheet contains short, low-tensile cellulose fibers locked together by a brittle binder. When downward force is applied—whether by a fingernail or a razor—the fibers snap, creating random tear patterns unique to each fragile sticker. Because the break is mechanical, it is unaffected by temperature swings (-40 °C to +60 °C), humidity, or common solvents. The “void” effect is built into the sheet itself, so no secondary coating or hidden layer is required.

Color That Lasts: Why Red?
Red is the international color for “alert.” Our proprietary crimson dye is mixed into the pulp before the sheet is formed, ensuring the shade runs through every fiber. The result is a red fragile sticker that remains vivid under harsh retail LEDs and resists UV fade for 90 days of direct sunlight. Independent lab reports (supplied free with every order) show ΔE < 2 after Q-Sun 1000-hour exposure, meeting ASTM G155 standards.

Specs & Customization

Standard circles: 10 mm to 120 mm diameter, ideal for vial caps or smartphone warranty seals.

Rectangles: 20 × 40 mm up to 100 × 200 mm, perfect for cartons or courier pouches.

Custom outlines: company logos, star-bursts, or inside-tear perforations cut in under 48 hours on our laser die table.

All labels can be supplied on 76 mm cores in 500 m rolls for automatic dispensers, or in fan-fold stacks for manual application. Need a writable panel or NFC tag embedded beneath the fragile sticker? We can add both without increasing thickness or compromising destructibility.

Real-World ROI
A Swiss skincare brand replaced plain white seals with red fragile stickers on eggshell paper. Counterfeit complaints dropped 42 % within six months, and social-media “unboxing” videos praised the visible security feature. In the United States, a vape distributor printed two million serialized red fragile stickers in seven days to meet new state traceability rules—every cartridge now bears a unique QR code that self-destructs if the label is lifted.

Eco & Compliance Notes
The sheet is 30 % post-consumer fiber, REACH- and RoHS-compliant, and FDA 21 CFR-approved for direct food contact. The release liner is recyclable glassine, and carbon-neutral shipping is offered at checkout.
