A collection of smart labels can record and report a history of your shipped product’s perilous journey from your distribution center, manufacturing plant or warehouse to a safe haven with its’ new owner. The very presence of a Shockwatch® label on a package is often all it takes to earn a free “upgrade to first class - care in handling.”  The smart labels are bright and highly visible. Should they be ignored, the indicator functions will go to work and bear witness by recording: Was the shipment dropped or severely jostled?  Were the protected products tipped over? Were they frozen or overheated?

The broad Shockwatch® family of smart labels can detect virtually every product-damaging exposure or event: temperature extremes, humidity, and impact/shocks. The various models utilize "state of the art" technology including: chemical, magnetic and mechanical operation.

A Shockwatch® spokesperson described the original conception of their first indicator impact  label product line was to prevent shipping damage and to document what happened when prevention failed.  The 'attention-getting' indicators are normally positioned in a prominent location on package exterior. They are easily applied like any other self-adhesive, 'peel and stick" label.

Shockwatch®, has headquarters in Dallas, Texas, where they develop, manufacture and market a broad range of damage prevention and industrial safety products.  Product distribution is worldwide through a national sales force and a network of strategic partners and resellers.
