#Two uncommon knots which are tied around a package could be considered two seals, however two regular knots would not count as two seals.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 130:5. The Taz Y.D. 130:8 explains that simple and common knots are too easy to untie and tie again, so there is not a sure enough guarantee that the food has not been tampered with by the delivery person</ref> Some say, however, that if the first knot is uncommon, then even if the second knot is common the combination of the two would be considered two seals.<ref>Sefer Bein Yisrael LNachri Y.D. 17:21</ref> | #Two uncommon knots which are tied around a package could be considered two seals, however two regular knots would not count as two seals.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 130:5.

#If you have a unique seal on a package of some kind (which is distinct from the usual way to seal the type of package in question), then adding a knot<ref>Or a wax seal.</ref> on top of the box is sufficient to establish this package as doubly-sealed.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 118:4</ref> | #If you have a unique seal on a package of some kind (which is distinct from the usual way to seal the type of package in question), then adding a knot<ref>Or a wax seal.</ref> on top of the box is sufficient to establish this package as doubly-sealed.<ref>Shulchan Aruch Y.D. 118:4</ref> | ||
===Sealing Bottles Effectively=== | |||
#Bottles that are closed strongly with a cork or another type of cap which cannot be opened without a special tool (bottle-openers, corkscrews, etc.) are considered to have one seal. Adding a clay seal on top of the cork would be considered the second seal.<ref> Kaf HaChaim Y.D. 118:24, Aruch HaShulchan Y.D. 118:18.</ref> | |||
#Bottles for drinks that do not need two seals (milk, juice, lemonade, etc.) may be sent with a non-Jew with only a single seal.<ref>Aruch HaShulchan Y.D. 118:18</ref> | |||
#Some poskim hold that you can seal a bottle loosely and then fasten a clay seal on top of that in order to render its one seal. However, some poskim recommend being stringent.<ref>Kaf HaChaim Y.D. 118:24</ref> | |||
