ShockWatch Tiltwatch XTR
The ShockWatch TiltWatch XTR is a single-use tip packaging indicator designed for monitoring goods that must remain upright during transportation. It is tamper-proof and will visually alert users if the product is tilted beyond 80º by turning red. However, the packaging indicator will not be activated by movement due to normal handling conditions. Companion labels and alert stickers are used to enhance the visibility of the TiltWatch XTR Tilt Indicator. The packaging sensor is activated by removing the adhesive backing from the indicator. The sensor turns red when cargo is tilted more than 80° or entirely overturned to indicate tilting above these limits. Once the indicator is activated, do not tilt the packaging right or left.
