More choose customised damage deterrent labels
As companies strive to keep one step ahead of the competition, damage deterrent specialists, Lamerholm, have seen a noticeable increase in business for their customised ShockWatch and TiltWatch labels
TiltWatch available for under GBP1 per label
For companies who want to monitor their goods in transit, damage deterrent specialists Lamerholm have their TiltWatch smart labels now available for under GBP1 each
"Users of tilt monitors need to be confident that the products work adequately for their particular application" explains Lamerholm managing director, Ian Robinson: "Our TiltWatch products have been designed with three important basic features not seen on the competitor units, including Tip 'N Tell labels".
The TiltWatch labels are designed using a non-magnetic steel disc sensor that is immune to moisture ingress and other adverse environmental conditions.
This makes TiltWatch ideal for ocean shipments and use in humid environments.
By simply removing the adhesive backing, TiltWatch is automatically armed.
Due to its design and the fact that the unit is armed from the non-exposed surface, this means that once applied, the unit cannot be reset.
This, together with the self stick-backing that assures a permanent bond, even on rough wood surfaces, means that TiltWatch is both tamperproof and non-resettable.
"The Tip 'N Tell uses an arming pin located on the side of the labels that can be easily reinserted or replaced with a similar object.
This mechanism also makes the label more susceptible to moisture entering the unit and clogging up the arming mechanism".
Ian further explains: "The TiltWatch has been specifically designed to resist false activations caused by normal jarring of shipment while in transit.
We aim to be more than product suppliers".
says Ian: "It is important that our customers understand how our products work so they can select the right product for their particular application.
We want them to have confidence in the damage deterrent solution they have chosen".
