Frequently Asked Questions
• What exactly are Tip-n-Tell Labels and how do they benefit my shipments?
Tip-n-Tell Labels are a crucial visual deterrent and indicator system designed to monitor whether a package or piece of equipment has been tilted or completely inverted during transit or storage. They provide indisputable evidence of mishandling, helping you protect your goods and hold carriers accountable, ultimately reducing costly damage claims.
• How do Tip-n-Tell Labels actually work to detect tilting?
Each Tip-n-Tell indicator contains a sensitive, non-resettable mechanism with a blue powder that permanently shifts into an arrow shape when the device is tilted beyond a specific angle (typically 90 degrees). Once activated by pulling a pin, this blue indication becomes irreversible, providing clear proof of improper handling.
• Are Tip-n-Tell Labels a single-use product, or can they be reset?
No, Tip-n-Tell Labels are designed for single-use and are non-resettable. This tamper-proof feature ensures that once the indicator has been triggered, it cannot be manipulated back to its original state, thus providing reliable and undeniable evidence of mishandling.
• What does a "blue arrow" on a Tip-n-Tell Label signify?
A blue arrow appearing in the window of a Tip-n-Tell Label means that the package or item to which it's affixed has been tipped on its side or completely inverted during its journey, indicating potential mishandling that could have caused damage to the contents.
• Do Tip-n-Tell Labels only detect a full 90-degree tip, or are they more sensitive?
Tip-n-Tell Labels are specifically engineered to activate at a slight incline of less than 90 degrees or beyond, ensuring that even significant tilts that could cause damage are accurately recorded, not just a full knockdown.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• Where is the ideal placement for a Tip-n-Tell Label on a package to ensure maximum effectiveness?
For optimal monitoring, the Tip-n-Tell indicator should be placed on the side of the package, ideally at the bottom edge, where it will clearly show if the container has been laid on its side or upended.
• What’s the proper way to activate a Tip-n-Tell Label before shipping?
Activating a Tip-n-Tell Label is straightforward: you simply pull the metal pin on the side of the device. Once this pin is removed, the indicator is armed and ready to monitor for any tilting, making it ready for transit.
• Are there additional warning labels included with Tip-n-Tell indicators from Valdamark Direct?
Yes, absolutely. Valdamark Direct provides a complete warning system with each Tip-n-Tell purchase, which includes companion labels to be affixed to the package itself, clearly stating that the shipment is being monitored. You also get labels for the bill of lading to formally notify the carrier.
• Can Tip-n-Tell Labels be used on both the inside and outside of a shipping container?
Yes, Tip-n-Tell Labels are versatile enough to be mounted on either the inside or the outside of your shipment. Placing them externally provides an immediate visual warning to handlers, while internal placement offers a more discreet monitoring solution.
• Do I need any special tools to attach Tip-n-Tell Labels to my packages?
No special tools are generally required as Tip-n-Tell Labels come with an adhesive backing for easy, self-adhesive application. For heavier duty or more permanent attachment to crates, they can also be stapled or nailed.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• How many Tip-n-Tell Labels should I use per shipment for adequate protection?
For comprehensive 360-degree detection, it's recommended to apply Tip-n-Tell indicators on at least two sides of a package or item, ensuring that any tilt from any direction is recorded.
• For what types of products are Tip-n-Tell Labels most commonly used?
Tip-n-Tell Labels are indispensable for shipping any item that must remain upright during transit. This includes sensitive electronics, delicate machinery, precision parts, optics, medical equipment, liquid containers, and high-value, fragile goods.
• Can Tip-n-Tell Labels help prevent damage to items like large servers or industrial machinery?
Absolutely. Large, top-heavy, or sensitive industrial machinery and server racks are ideal candidates for Tip-n-Tell Labels. They act as a visible deterrent and provide undeniable evidence if these critical assets are mishandled, reducing the risk of costly repairs or replacements.
• Are these indicators suitable for international shipments?
Yes, Tip-n-Tell Labels are recognized globally as a standard means of monitoring shipment handling. Their clear visual indication makes them effective for international transport, where different handling standards might apply.
• Could Tip-n-Tell Labels be beneficial for companies shipping artwork or museum exhibits?
Definitely. For items of immense value and fragility like artwork or museum exhibits, Tip-n-Tell Labels offer an invaluable layer of protection, providing a clear audit trail of handling conditions and contributing to the integrity of the consignment.
Relevant products you may want to consider:
• How do Tip-n-Tell Labels contribute to accountability in the shipping process?
By providing clear, undeniable evidence of mishandling, Tip-n-Tell Labels significantly increase accountability among shipping carriers and handlers. When they know their actions are being monitored, they are more likely to exercise greater care.
• Can these labels be used for goods stored in warehouses, not just in transit?
Yes, Tip-n-Tell Labels are just as effective for monitoring goods in storage. If items must remain upright in a warehouse, applying these indicators ensures that any accidental or improper tilting during storage is immediately evident.
• What are the primary cost-saving benefits of using Tip-n-Tell Labels?
The main cost-saving benefits stem from the reduction in damaged goods, which in turn leads to fewer claims, less time spent on investigations, and lower repair or replacement expenses. This can significantly impact a company's bottom line.
• Do Tip-n-Tell Labels deter mishandling before it even happens?
Yes, they absolutely do! The prominent visibility and clear messaging of the Tip-n-Tell warning labels act as a strong psychological deterrent, encouraging all personnel involved in the handling chain to treat the package with the utmost care to avoid triggering the indicator.
• How do Tip-n-Tell Labels help in dispute resolution with shipping companies?
In the event of damage, a triggered Tip-n-Tell Label provides objective, irreversible proof of improper handling. This evidence can be crucial in streamlining dispute resolution processes and establishing liability with carriers, making claims much easier to substantiate.

They serve different but complementary purposes in damage prevention.
• Can Tip-n-Tell Labels help identify specific points of failure in a supply chain?

• Is there any specific data I should record when a Tip-n-Tell Label is activated upon arrival?
If a Tip-n-Tell Label is activated upon arrival, it's crucial to document this immediately. This typically involves taking photographs of the activated indicator, noting the date and time of arrival, and inspecting the contents for any damage before acknowledging receipt with the carrier.
• How do these labels contribute to a company's overall quality control and assurance processes?
By providing an objective measure of handling quality during transit, Tip-n-Tell Labels empower companies to enhance their overall quality control and assurance. They reinforce proper handling procedures and provide valuable data for evaluating logistics partners, ultimately leading to a more robust and reliable supply chain.
