ShockWatch 2
ShockWatch 2 impact packaging indicators prevent mishandling and effectively minimise costs associated with damage by providing clear indications when products have encountered potentially damaging impacts during transportation, particularly for larger and heavier items. The label is a bi-directional vertical response impact indicator.
Impact Packaging Indicators
These impact indicators are affixed to the external packaging of a shipment and visually alert all individuals involved in handling the package that extra care is necessary. In the event of mishandling during transportation and handling, the ShockWatch 2 provides a permanent record of the mishandling incident.
If a package has not been mishandled, the top or bottom window of the shock detector will remain white. However, if mishandling occurs, the top or bottom window will be red. The presence of any red in either of the impact sensor windows notifies recipients to inspect the package for potential damage.
Shock Indicators to Prevent Damages
The shock sensors are available in seven sensitivities, distinguished by seven colours. Select the appropriate impact indicator sensitivity level based on the product’s and packaging’s capacity to withstand non-operating shocks specified by the manufacturer, or choose a shock indicator based on the mass and size of the shipment.
