With ShockWatch, to the Victor Go the Unspoiled

With vaccines, pharmaceuticals and other perishables being shipped globally, ShockWatch and its Environmental Indicators have been onboard to provide a proactive approach to the treatment of temperature-sensitive products by handlers. Now, ShockWatch - the global leader in developing and manufacturing damage prevention products - is increasing damage prevention awareness by adding companion labels, tear-away records and easy-to-read insert cards to shipments already monitored by ShockWatch's Environmental Indicators. Not only does the Environmental Indicators system inform the shipment recipient of the product's status, it also alerts handlers that the shipment is being watched - providing reinforcement to deter mishandling - and addresses the necessary steps to take if the indicator is activated. If a shipment of pharmaceuticals or other perishable items were left in an unacceptable environment, it might experience bacterial growth, contamination or spoilage during transit. ShockWatch's five Environmental Indicators - ColdMark, WarmMark, WarmMark Duo, WarmMark Long Run and HeatWatch - determine shipment status immediately. Each indicator is unique in design and meets the needs of a wide range of environmentally sensitive goods, including perishable foods, blood/plasma, vaccines, chemicals, cosmetics, electronic components and live plants or animals.
