This tamper evident cashbag system is ideal for retail and banking environments who transport large amounts of cash. Each cashbag has a unique barcode for full audit traceability and the high capacity cashbag (up to 1000 new notes) reduces the amount of cash in transit visits and eliminates cash shrinkage.”
