A business form has a first paper portion with multiple plies and a second portion which is a release liner and has a number of distinct labels disposed on it. At least one of the labels is dimensioned and configured to hold a removable cap on a medical container to indicate if the container cap has been tampered with, and preferably that label has a length of between about 10-11 inches so that it can be wrapped completely around a 90 ml plastic specimen vial, or other medical container, so that portions of the label are in contact with each other, enhancing the tamper evident functionality of the label. A second label on the release liner may be a box seal, and other labels may be provided to facilitate tamper evident functionality of the form.
