Short answer
On Meesho, the “seal” that matters most is the tamper-evident seal of the packet itself: a sealed Meesho branded polybag with a QR code that is scanned with the AWB, so it is clear if the parcel was opened. Many suppliers also attach a seal tag (a plastic tie-lock tag) to the product, so a used or swapped product is easier to spot when it comes back. Add a packing video and the correct label, and you have the proof Meesho asks for in a dispute.
“Seal on Meesho”, “Meesho seal” and “Meesho tag” are searched by two kinds of people: customers wondering about the tag on a product, and suppliers wondering what they should put on their parcels. This guide is for suppliers.
Three kinds of “seal” on a Meesho order
| Seal | What it is | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Packet seal | The tamper-evident adhesive flap on the Meesho polybag | Shows if the parcel was opened in transit |
| Branded packet QR / code | The code on a Meesho branded packet, scanned with the AWB | Links the packet to the order and helps reduce RTO fraud |
| Seal tag on the product | A plastic tie-lock tag through the product or its label | A used or swapped product is easy to spot on return |
The packet seal
A good Meesho barcode polybag has a strong, tamper-evident flap. Once closed, peeling it should tear the film or leave a visible mark. If your bags peel and re-stick cleanly, change your supplier. A broken seal is your first piece of evidence when a customer says the parcel arrived empty.
Branded Meesho packaging adds a code on the packet that is scanned along with the AWB. That maps the packet to the order and makes it harder for anyone to swap the contents on the way back. More in Meesho authorised packaging material.
Seal tags on the product
A seal tag is a plastic tie-lock tag fixed through the product's label or a seam. Customers can try the product on, but can't remove the tag without cutting it. Suppliers use them to:
- Spot a product that was used and sent back.
- Spot a swapped product, especially when the tag has a number you record.
- Look more professional, like branded retail.
Most seal tags sold for Meesho are non-working (dummy) seal tags. They look and lock like a security tag, but they aren't registered with Meesho. They're a deterrent and a check for you, not an official Meesho requirement. If you print “No return if seal tag is removed” on a card, make sure your listing's return terms match Meesho's actual return policy.
Proof that holds up in a Meesho claim
- Packing video for every order: show the product, the tag, the sealing and the label in one take.
- Parcel weight on a scale in the video.
- Seal photo on returns before you open them, if the seal looks tampered.
- Raise the claim within the window shown in your supplier panel.
Meesho label tips
Stick the Meesho shipping label flat on the front of the bag, never over the seal or a fold. Crop labels to 4×6 with the Meesho label cropper if you use a thermal printer. For the full packing routine, see Meesho packaging rules.
