Lamerholm introduces TiltWatch

Lamerholm has launched TiltWatch, a product that helps to ensure fragile products are kept in an upright position while being shipped. The latest addition to the range of damage deterrent solutions is the new TiltWatch Plus. This is a self-adhesive label that activates on removal of the backing and provides indisputable evidence that a product has been tipped. The TiltWatch Plus provides 360 monitoring and can indicate the exact angle of tilt.

TiltWatch Plus registers three different angles in the one unit. One indicates the starting angle, the second indicates the exact angle of tilt and the third shows whether the item has been completely inverted. By monitoring the three angles, the Tiltwatch Plus provides 360 tilt monitoring for the entire duration of the shipping period and an unalterable record of damaging incidents. TiltWatch Plus measures angles on tilt in 10 increments, starting from only 30, making it particularly sensitive.

The use of TiltWatch Plus is ideal for companies who regularly ship sensitive products or where damage on arrival is a major problem. A company's reputation can be compromised and customer confidence reduced should faulty products be delivered. ‘By attaching a TiltWatch Plus, label companies will see a decrease in product damage and have the means to substantiate insurance claims,’ said the company in a statement.

Lamerholm has also introduced the TiltWatch Companion Label. These labels alert shippers and carriers that the TiltWatch indicator is being used and provides additional information for customers.
