When shipping sensitive materials during the cold winter months, keeping products at the right temperature is essential. Temperature fluctuations can lead to damaged goods, especially for perishable items, medicines, and electronics. Texas Technologies has a variety of temperature indicating labels available to help ensure shipments stay within the required temperature range. Here’s a quick look at how these labels can make your winter shipping safer and more reliable.
Why Use Temperature Indicating Labels in Winter?
Winter shipping can be tricky, particularly when shipping items that are easily damaged by changes in temperature such as electronics, medicines, glass, liquids, or perishables. Extreme cold, delays, and weather changes can easily affect or even destroy your products. Temperature indicating labels help by:
- Tracking temperature changes during the shipment process.
- Ensuring product safety, especially for sensitive items.
- Providing proof of temperature compliance if needed for insurance or disputes.
ColdMark Freeze Indicating Labels
These labels are perfect for products that must stay above freezing. If the temperature drops too low, the label changes color, signaling potential damage from freezing. In winter, this is especially useful to track if your shipment has been exposed to freezing conditions, helping you avoid costly losses.
Thermax Irreversible Temperature Labels
Thermax labels change color when exposed to certain temperatures and cannot be reset. Once the label shows a color change, you know that your shipment was exposed to out-of-range temperatures. This is ideal for products that need strict temperature control, like pharmaceuticals or electronics.
WarmMark Time Temperature Labels
WarmMark labels track both temperature and time. These labels come in a variety of temperatures (like 5°C or -18°C) and show how long a product was exposed to a specific temperature. They’re great for monitoring shipments that need to stay within a certain range, especially in winter weather when temperatures can vary unexpectedly.
Temperature indicating labels are a simple and effective way to protect your goods during winter shipping. Whether you’re shipping food, medicine, or electronics, these labels give you peace of mind, ensuring your products stay within the right temperature range—even in cold weather.Â
