Damage deterrent with visible results
August 1st 2008 Companies shipping goods
need to ensure that
consignments reach
customers in prime
condition, says Lamerholm.
Company reputation is at
stake and the return of
damaged goods will eat into
profits. Lamerholm is a
range of labels that provide
a cost-effective damage
deterrent when shipping
goods.
ShockWatch labels are
self-adhesive, highly visible
labels that indicate when a
product has been exposed
to impact. The labels
monitor conditions and their
use helps to reduce
transport related damage.
The colour-coded labels are
available in five sensitivities
from 25G to 100G.
Lamerholm says over 100
million labels have been sold
worldwide and a range of
companies have seen
damage reduce by between
50–90%.
Lamerholm also supply
TiltWatch, a system that
helps to ensure sensitive
products are kept in an
upright position while being
shipped. With a simple onestep
application, the device
is automatically armed
when the adhesive backing
is removed and once applied
to the package cannot be
reset. The indicator on the
label will activate and
change to red if shipments
are tilted over 80°. More articles from The IMC Group - Lamerholm: |
