Key Takeaways:

Shipping fragile items always carries the inherent risk of breakage. Glass and delicate electronic components are especially susceptible to damage during transit. Data reflects mishandling as a significant cause, where items are frequently subjected to forces that exceed their tolerance levels.
The financial damage is two-fold: losses from the immediate need to replace damaged items as well as the loss of customer loyalty. Businesses need transparency and accountability in shipping practices to mitigate these issues effectively.
Why Impact Monitoring is Essential for Fragile Shipments
You can close your eyes and cross your fingers, but it is unrealistic to expect shipping carriers to guarantee gentle handling at all times. This means that monitoring shipment conditions is essential to avoid costly repercussions.
ShockWatch 2® stands out as a vital tool, offering detection of handling conditions by revealing mishandling, even before the package is opened. These indicators function as informants, alerting of potential damage long before shipments reach customers, preventing defective products from casting a shadow on a company’s reputation.
ShockWatch 2: a Simple Yet Powerful Solution
ShockWatch 2 is a single-use, tamperproof impact indicator that simplifies damage detection during shipping.
