Overview

Tilt Indicator label is a kind of single-use tip and tell indicator used to monitor goods that must remain upright. It can show tilt, inversion and improper handling of goods in shipment and storage while monitor whether they are stored correctly.

If your goods have to be kept up-right during handling and shipping, you can try to stick this kind of product to warn handler to keep up your goods and make instructions or record when tilt happens.

When package tilt from vertical direction over 80°, silver round will turn red, which becomes an indication and record about tilt.

Working Principle

The backplane is made of 5 mil acrylic acrylic adhesive vacuum seal, excluding humidit and temperature changes

Use a magnetically resistant metal material to ensure that the magnet can not be restored to its original state inclination angle greater than 80 degrees, Horizontal plane angle is less than 10 degrees

When your goods tilt from vertical direction over 80°, silver round in the middle will turn RED, which becomes an indication and record about tilt. The process is irreversible.

Key Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between tilt indicator label and tilt indicator Plus?

They have different activation angles depending on transportation requirements. The tilt indicator label is designed for detecting significant tilting events which tilting over 80°, while 360° tilt indicator Plus model can monitor more sensitive orientation changes – every 10° increments from 30° axis and indicate the tilt direction.

The selection depends on product sensitivity, packaging design, and acceptable handling conditions.

2. Why use a package tilt indicator instead of relying only on handling labels?

Traditional handling labels only provide instructions, while package tilt indicators provide visual evidence of whether improper handling has actually occurred.

By using together with companion warning labels, companies can improve transportation monitoring, identify handling issues, and reduce disputes caused by hidden shipping damage.

3. Can the indicator be reset after activation?

No. The indicators are designed as single-use irreversible monitoring devices. Once activated by excessive tilting, the visual indication remains permanently changed.

This prevents tampering and provides reliable evidence of improper package handling during transportation.

4. The main application

The package tilt indicators are commonly applied to shipments that require careful handling, such as:

– Precision instruments
– Medical equipment
– Electronic devices
– Industrial machinery
– Large components
– Fragile product packaging

It helps identify whether packages have been excessively tilted during loading, unloading, or transportation.
