It really depends on whether you want to use an active or passive container seal. There are passive seals that can be read from a few feet away, which can be in the $5 to $20 range, depending on how ruggedized they are. Active RFID seals can be interrogated from a distance of 300 feet or more, and are generally in the $50 to $100 range—again, depending on how rugged they are and whether they connect to a cell network to inform you of a possible intrusion.
