Packaging in duty-free retail must ensure product security, meet strict aviation security requirements, and support sustainability and Modepack is recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as an official manufacturer of Security Tamper-Evident Bags (STEB).
Designed for liquids, aerosols, and gels purchased in duty-free stores, these bags enable passengers to transfer through airports with confidence, ensuring that purchases remain secure and compliant.
Our solution pairs ICAO-approved security with recycled LDPE, providing a sustainable and secure choice for duty-free retailers.
Security You Can Trust
ICAO approval is reserved for manufacturers that meet strict technical and security requirements.
Each STEB bag must be produced from durable, transparent polyethylene film and designed to show immediate evidence of any attempt to open or reseal it. It must also include unique serial numbers, barcode identification, and a dedicated internal pouch to securely hold the proof of purchase.
Our ICAO Security Tamper-Evident Bags are built to meet these requirements. When the seal is broken, the closure displays an ‘OPEN VOID’ message, indicating any tampering. The bags are offered in three standard sizes and are manufactured to ensure consistent performance in demanding airport environments.
For duty-free retailers, this results in a packaging solution that protects both the product and transaction integrity.
Recycled Materials, Same Security Performance
STEB bags have traditionally been made from MDPE. Modepack has taken a different approach by manufacturing them from post-consumer recycled LDPE.
This approach helps reduce virgin plastic consumption, conserve resources and reduce waste while maintaining the strength, transparency and tamper-evident performance required for secure duty-free packaging.
The product reflects our Circular Mode philosophy. By using post-consumer recycled LDPE, we transform waste plastic into valuable packaging, encouraging more circular use of materials and supporting customers’ sustainability targets by reducing waste and resource consumption. Sustainability considerations are integrated in product development from the earliest stages.
Why This Matters for Duty-Free Retailers
Procurement decisions are no longer based solely on price and functionality. Duty-free operators are increasingly expected to meet aviation security standards, reduce environmental impact, and build more resilient supply chains.
Modepack’s ICAO-approved bags unite security, sustainability, and compliance into a single solution.
As an EU-based manufacturer, we offer reliable quality, shorter lead times, and production aligned with European standards. By using recycled LDPE, the bags also support sustainability goals without compromising security or compliance. With it, we are aiming to meet today’s operational requirements while preparing for tomorrow’s expectations.
