Hanwell Gets Smart with New Range of Packaging Labels

Hanwell Instruments, well known throughout the conservation and heritage industry for its innovative data acquisition solutions, is pleased to announce that it is now an official distributor for the ShockWatch range of smart packaging labels. 

The ShockWatch labels are self-adhesive, highly visible labels that, when attached to goods or its packaging, can indicate when a product has been exposed to impact. The labels use state-of-the-art technology to monitor the conditions and their use helps bring damage claims to a quick resolution. The colour-coded labels are available in five sensitivities from 25G to 100G. Over 100 million labels have been sold worldwide and a wide range of companies have seen damage reduce by between 50 -90%.

“The new labels ideally complement our existing range.” explains Derek Richardson, Sales Director at Hanwell. “Our data acquisition products protect the precious and often fragile artifacts when they are in the museums and galleries, while this new product range will protect them while they are being transported either within the museum or to other destinations.
