A collection of smart packaging labels can now save companies time and money by providing a cost-effective damage deterrent when shipping goods The ShockWatch labels from Lamerholm Electronics are self-adhesive, highly visible labels, that when attached to goods indicate when a product has been exposed to impact, tilt, temperature or humidity extremes

Using these ShockWatch labels provide benefits at every stage of the distribution chain.

The shipper sees a reduction of incidents due to rough handling and therefore a decrease in damage when the shipment arrives at its destination.

This is a strong selling feature and gives the customer much greater confidence in the carrier.

For the customer, fewer damaged goods are delivered and there is immediate indication of any potential problems thus avoiding damaged goods being added to the inventory.

And the carrier benefits as use of the labels encourages personnel to be more careful, can pinpoint trouble in inter-modal situations and can expose negligent shippers.

An all round winning solution.

The labels use state-of-the-art technology to monitor the conditions and their use help bring damage claims to a quick resolution and protect against warranty abuse.

Over 90 million labels have been sold worldwide and a wide range of companies have seen damage reduce by between 50-90%. Request a free brochure from Lamerholm Electronics ...
