Reduce tipping while shipping

TiltWatch is a new system from Lamerholm Electronics that helps to ensure sensitive products are kept in an upright position while being shipped. With a simple one-step application, the device is automatically armed when the adhesive backing is removed and once stuck onto the package cannot be reset. The indicator on the label will change to red if shipments are tilted over 80.

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

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.

TiltWatch is ideal as an active damage deterrent for items as wide ranging as telecommunications equipment, plasma and LCD screen, heavy machinery and even cut flowers.
