Method and apparatus for securing a pallet, crate, or similar shipping containers against pilferage using a pallet seal including one or more parts, and having one or more locking devices are included. The seal can be secured against the clip on the pallet banding, completely covering and protecting the clip from tampering. The seal can have specific seal number and marking, color, or other features that makes it almost impossible to duplicate. Further the seal can have the capability to include RFID tags, Bar Code, and or custom marking and can be applied to the banding clips without a use of any tool or secondary seal or number.
