Labels and indicators that change colour or activate on impact, tilt, temperature or humidity, to monitor goods and equipment during transport and storage. They are visual indicators: they leave an easy-to-see signal when an impact, temperature or humidity value is exceeded, and the activation value is defined by the customer for the application. Each indicator is chosen for what has to be monitored: a shock, a tilt, a temperature or a humidity level.
The type with its own page is the custom, cobalt-free humidity indicator card, with the humidity points, size and printing the customer specifies. Shock and tilt indicators, time-temperature indicators (TTI) for the cold chain and irreversible temperature indicator labels, with the customer's brand and thresholds, are also quoted.
Typical sectors are logistics and e-commerce, food and beverage, and laboratories and the cold chain for non-medical use. Made or sourced to your specification.
What it is: Shock and tilt indicators, cold-chain TTI labels and humidity indicator cards.
What we need to quote: Type of indicator: shock or tilt, time-temperature, irreversible temperature or humidity; Activation value: g-value, temperature and time window, or humidity points; Number of spots, size and place of application.
Scope to check: The indicators in this category are for logistics and industrial use.
| Custom humidity indicator cards, cobalt-free | Best for: Electronics factories. · Check: The production partner provides datasheets and test reports on request. |

The indicators in this category are for logistics and industrial use. They are not presented as a solution for transporting medicines or for medical use, and battery-powered indicators are not offered.
Passive NFC/UHF labels with a temperature sensor are electronic products with their own regulatory notices (see the RFID and NFC labels category): Directive 2014/53/EU (RED), Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS) and Directive 2012/19/EU (WEEE) are usually consulted, and the obligations depend on the final product. Only the name and number of each rule are cited.
It is a label stuck on the carton that accumulates the time the goods spend above a set temperature. The colour change is irreversible, so it helps to judge whether the cold chain has been interrupted. It is also made to order, with the customer's temperature threshold, time window and brand. It is placed inside barrier bags or desiccant packaging; its spots change colour with humidity and let you judge the relative humidity inside the package. Custom cards are offered in the cobalt-free version only. It is stuck on the carton and activates, turning red, when it receives an impact above a set g-value; there are several levels. The tilt indicator changes when the carton is tilted. They help to assign responsibility during transport. Yes: the g-value, threshold and time window, the temperature or humidity points, the size and the printing (brand, serial number, QR code). The activation values are defined by the customer and confirmed against the datasheet of the proposed indicator.Frequently asked questions
