Safeguarding Your Shipments with Tilt-Activated Technology
Concerned about the safety of your valuable cargo during transit? At Colour Changing, we offer a range of innovative tilt-activated products designed to provide peace of mind and protect your goods from mishandling. Our advanced solutions go beyond basic "fragile" labels, giving you clear and undeniable evidence if your shipment has been tilted, dropped, or incorrectly stored.
What are Tilt-Activated Materials?
Tilt-activated materials, sometimes referred to as shock indicators or tilt sensors, are smart materials that undergo a visible and irreversible change when tilted beyond a predetermined angle. This change, often a distinct colour shift, serves as an immediate alert that your package has been handled incorrectly. This technology provides a simple yet effective way to monitor the handling of sensitive goods throughout the supply chain.
How do they work?
These materials are typically integrated into labels, films, or even the packaging itself. They function thanks to an internal mechanism that is triggered by changes in orientation. Once activated, the indicator provides a clear visual signal that cannot be reset, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the shipping process.
Applications Across Industries
The versatility of tilt-activated technology makes it suitable for a wide range of applications and industries, including:
- High-Value Electronics: Protecting sensitive electronics and components from damage caused by impact or incorrect orientation.
- Medical Supplies and Pharmaceuticals: Ensuring the safe transportation of temperature-sensitive medications and delicate medical equipment.
- Art and Antiques: Safeguarding priceless artworks, sculptures, and historical artefacts during transportation and storage.
- Hazardous Materials: Monitoring the safe handling of potentially dangerous chemicals and substances.
- Manufacturing and Industrial Goods: Ensuring the integrity of precision-engineered parts, machinery, and fragile components.
