TiltWatch® Tilt Indicators
Detect and deter improper handling of upright-sensitive goods with visible, tamperproof tilt sensors.
TiltWatch indicators adhere directly to your product or packaging and activate when goods are tipped beyond acceptable angles, providing indisputable evidence of mishandling during transit or storage. These low-cost, single-use sensors serve as a powerful visual deterrent, encouraging proper handling from dispatch to delivery.
Why Use TiltWatch Indicators:
Reduce Damage & Promote Accountability: Highly visible and tamperproof, TiltWatch sensors signal when mishandling occurs, helping reduce claims and improve supply chain performance.
Boost Customer Confidence: By preventing tilt-related damage and increasing visibility, TiltWatch promotes safer delivery and enhances end-user satisfaction.
Two Options Available:
TiltWatch® XTR: Activates (turns red) when tilted past 80° or fully up-ended; unaffected by normal handling.
TiltWatch® Plus: Offers 360° monitoring, showing the precise angle of tilt and whether complete overturn occurred.
TiltWatch® Xtr
Accurate tip detection for upright-sensitive shipments – activated only when it matters.
TiltWatch® XTR is a single-use tilt indicator that turns bright red when tipped beyond 80° (±5%) from vertical. Designed to avoid false activation, it remains unaffected by normal handling or vibration—making it ideal for carrier-friendly shipping environments.
Reliable, highly visible, and easy to interpret, TiltWatch XTR helps prevent damage to goods that must stay upright by encouraging careful handling across the entire supply chain.

Key specifictions
TiltWatch® Plus
360° tilt monitoring for complete control and accountability during transit.
TiltWatch® Plus provides all-around tilt detection using three built-in sensors to indicate tilt direction (left or right) and complete overturn. Attached directly to a package like a pressure-sensitive label, it offers clear, tamperproof evidence of improper handling throughout the shipping journey.
Tilt Left
Tilt Right
Total Overturn (Complete Inversion)
Designed to remain inactive during normal movement—such as aircraft take-off—TiltWatch Plus ensures only true mishandling triggers activation. With full 360° monitoring and permanent activation marks, it offers a reliable, cost-effective solution to prevent tilt-related damage and support chain-of-custody integrity.
