Abstract: A sealing device for a receptacle such as a heavy cloth bank bag for containing money or currency in which a single strip or band of material formed of metal or plastic is stamped with projections or serrations extending from one side of the band and wherein a pair of locking projections in the form of raised panels are stamped in the material near one end of the band, so that the other flat end thereof may be inserted through slits formed by the stamped panels, whereby one or preferably more of the serrations are engaged and locked by the edges of the panels when the strip is tightened around the neck of the bag. Movement of the ends of the strips are thereby prevented in a direction which would unlock the seal but is freely permitted in the other direction for the extent of the serrations so that a tight seal may be accomplished. The material adjacent the locking panels is provided with sets of inwardly extending teeth at the top and bottom thereof to engage the material of the bag when the sealing device is in place and is tightened, so that the sealing device may not be removed from the bag without tearing or destroying the same and thus immediately provided evidence of tampering or attempted pilferage.
