tamper-proof


Explanation:
it is sealed and made tamper-proof. If packages or other sealed containers can be opened, they are not tamper-proof.
"The container is sealed with a device that requires the container be tamper-proof until it arrives at its destination".
Please note: that's what the Spanish says but it probably means:
"The container is sealed with a device that makes it tamper-proof until it arrives at its destination". (I would ask the client for clarification.)
Also,
inviolability is for rights and abstract principles, etc. only
