impact indicator label in a flexible format which is even
suitable for curved or irregular shaped items

Selection Criteria
To select the proper activation levels, determine if shock
damage boundary data has been established for the
product to be monitored.
Activation graphs are available for the Flex to help match
the damage characteristics of your product.
Depending on packaging and product fragility, it may be
necessary to adjust the sensitivity up or down.
Product Selection
The ShockWatch Flex is available in single tube
configurations.
■
Double tube configurations will be available soon
The single tube configuration provides nearly 360° of
detection of impact. The double tube configuration,
however, will provide a full 360° detection to monitor
drops from all angles.
ShockWatch can help you set up a damage reduction
program tailored to your unique circumstances.
Monitoring Program
The ShockWatch Flex can be used in conjunction with a ShockWatch Label program.
ShockWatch Labels are used to monitor packages during shipments. The Flex and
Label can be used together to monitor for mishandling of the product (Flex) and of the
package (Label).
When used in conjunction with companion labels, alert stickers, caution tape, posters,
and communication tools, ShockWatch indicators become a highly effective damage
reduction and prevention program.
To aid in communication with program participants, ShockWatch provides customized
letters for your carriers and customers. These letters describe the ShockWatch
program and detail the steps to follow in the event a shipment is received with an
activated label.
Posters are available for the sending
and receiving docks. These posters
are another reminder of the
ShockWatch program details.
Alert tape and ShockWatch
companion labels are additional
tools that increase the visibility of the
handling requirements of your
package.
Mounting Instructions
Remove the adhesive backing
from the Flex and mount on a
rigid area of the product, as
close to the product’s center
of mass as possible.
When mounting the Flex on a
curved or irregular surface, do
not attempt to bend the device
along its longitudinal axis.
