Frequently Asked Questions
What is a personal property bag?A personal property bag is a tamper-evident plastic bag used to store and track an individual's belongings during intake at a jail, hospital, or detention center. Each bag seals with fracture tape adhesive and carries a serial number, barcode, and tear-off receipt so property can be logged, stored, and returned with a documented chain of custody. What sizes do personal property bags come in?We stock three sizes: 5" x 7" for small valuables and cash, 9" x 12" for standard personal items such as wallets, phones, and keys, and 14" x 20" for larger property including clothing and shoes. All three sizes carry the same tamper-evident closure, serial number, barcode, and write-on block. Can a personal property bag be reopened and resealed?No. The tamper-evident adhesive is single-use by design. Once the bag is opened, the fracture tape breaks into a distinctive pattern that cannot be hidden or reversed, which is what preserves chain of custody. Bags must be replaced after opening. What makes these tamper-evident compared to a regular plastic bag?A standard poly bag can be opened and resealed without leaving a trace. These bags use freon-proof fracture tape that resists physical, chemical, and temperature-based tampering and fractures visibly if anyone attempts to open the seal, giving staff clear proof of unauthorized access. Who uses personal property bags?Prisons, jails, county correctional facilities, and detention centers use them for inmate property at booking and transfer. Hospitals, emergency rooms, nursing homes, assisted living communities, and mental health facilities use them to secure patient belongings during admission and long-term care. Can personal property bags be custom printed?Yes. We can add your facility name, logo, or custom write-on fields to property bags on bulk orders. Wholesale case pricing is also available, with per-bag cost dropping as quantity increases. Contact our team for a custom printing or volume quote. Related Products
