The invention relates to packaging, e.g. an envelope or a parcel, that can
be checked for tampering, which packaging includes a hermetically sealed
body, the body being formed by folding a sheet of material that has been
cut to a predefined shape. In order to track the object packaged in the
packaging and in order to check the packaging for tampering, the
tampering further includes an electronic component that can be
interrogated remotely and that is formed by data storage means connected
to an antenna. The antenna is formed by an antenna circuit which extends
at least over the entire periphery of the inside surface of the sheet of
material. Thus, any fraudulent opening of the packaging can be detected
by the antenna circuit breaking, thereby making any transmission with the
component of the packaging impossible.
