Tilt & Tip Indicators
Tilt-Activated Technology: Safeguard Your Shipments & Prevent Damage - Peace of Mind for Your Valuable Cargo
Concerned about the safety of your goods in transit? At Colour Changing, we offer a range of innovative tilt-activated products designed to provide peace of mind and protect your shipments 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, also known as tilt indicators or tip indicators, 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 offers 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.
