An improved bolt-type seal, comprising: a bolt; a locking body, the locking body having a locking mechanism within the locking body for engaging with the bolt, the locking body further having a first opening for axially receiving an end of the bolt and guiding the bolt into the locking mechanism, and a second lateral opening for providing access to the locking mechanism; and an identification tag having a portion shaped to cover the lateral opening in the locking body in a manner that impedes access to the locking mechanism; and wherein the identification tag also has a ring portion that is connected to the portion of the identification tag that is shaped to cover the lateral opening of the locking body, the ring portion surrounding the first opening of the locking body that axially receives the bolt, in a manner so that the bolt secures the identification tag in place when the bolt is engaged with the locking mechanism.
