Detect concealed damage when shipping fragile items. The label’s sensing indicator turns bright red if your package is improperly handled. This fosters claims recovery and damage reduction. The five Shockwatch models are differentiated by color, and the ingenious sensor device on each reacts to a different force impact. The weight and size of the package determines which model to use. Our Customer Service reps can help you select the right model or use the Shockwatch selection guide below:
