1. Do indicator seals really reduce shipping damage?
Yes. Tilt or shock indicators significantly lower mishandling rates, SealValue factory customers feedback shows that their mere presence encourages more careful handling. Handlers are less likely to drop or tilt packages when they know monitoring is in place.
2. Can an indicator be tampered with or reset?
No. Once activated, the color change is permanent. Serial numbers and companion labels further prevent removal or substitution.
3. Will a tilt indicator trigger during air transport take-off or landing?
No. Properly selected tilt indicators are designed for shipping conditions and will not activate under normal airplane movements.
4. How do I choose the right G-rating for a shock indicator?
It depends on product weight, size, and fragility. Lighter and more delicate items usually require lower G ratings (15g–25g), while heavy or robust goods can use higher ratings (50g–75g).
5. Are indicator seals recyclable?
The labels are small, single-use components. They should be disposed of according to local waste guidelines, similar to standard adhesive labels.

How ShockCheck indicator works?
The ShockCheck impact indicator provides an immediate visual warning when a shipment experiences rough handling. Before transport, the indicator seal label shows a clear window. If the package is dropped or subjected to an impact above its set G-rating, the window turns red, signaling that the goods may have been damaged. This irreversible color change makes it easy for receivers to identify potential problems, while also deterring handlers from careless treatment during the entire journey.
