Accessories and options for advanced packaging solutions

A fully-realized packaging solution is more than just the materials that house and cushion your product.  There are options that can be added to ensure additional protection.  These include anti-corrosion protection and handling indicators to protect against the extremes that packages can undergo in shipping.

ShockWatch®

Shipping and Handling Monitors

Drive down damages. Improve your margins. Protect your investments.

Product damage can have a serious impact on your company’s profits. That’s why Packnet only uses and provides ShockWatch® products. Implementation of shipping and handling monitors provides psychological reinforcement of proper handling procedures and changes the behavior of material handlers. It provides a highly visible deterrent to mishandling throughout the supply chain and encourages package handlers to be more conscious of their behavior and surroundings. The real success in a damage reduction program is preventing mishandling.

Utilizing a ShockWatch Program will deter mishandling and reduce damage-related costs to your products by indicating when the packaging has been exposed to a potentially damaging impact during transit or in storage. ShockWatch labels are tamperproof, mechanically activated devices that turn bright red when an impact occurs over the g force threshold of the ShockWatch label. ShockWatch labels have an omni-directional impact response. These products provide a full spectrum of damage prevention solutions, all tailored to your handling or shipping needs.

The ShockWatch Program includes a full complement of products and accessories. They include:

  • Impact Indicators
  • Tilt Indicators
  • Impact Recorders
  • Temperature Monitoring
  • Time Indicators

Benefits of ShockWatch Handling Indicators:

  • Acts as a visual deterrent to improper handling
  • Promotes chain of accountability for all product handling
  • Reduces mishandling through awareness
  • Confirms effectiveness of packaging
  • Provides indisputable evidence of mishandling
  • Helps identify trouble spots in supply chain, from production to transportation and storage
  • Alerts recipient to inspect contents before acceptance
  • Helps increase quality of product from dock to dock
