PakSense, Inc., Boise, ID, now offers a new time/temperature monitoring label that is seeing a growing footprint in seafood.  According to Amy Childress, Marketing Director for PakSense, "We're seeing the product used for air shipments of fresh seafood from Alaska to the lower 48 states due to its cost, size, ease of use, accuracy and, of course that it is waterproof."    If you haven't taken a look, you may want to check out their demo video.   Labels run about $12 each with readers running ($179) and fully integrated with any windows-based computer.

Stock designs for frequently shipped perishables such as beef, poultry, seafood, produce are available. They offer a label that can be customized with specific temperature ranges and graphics. Stock labels come in seven temperature ranges, three time spans -- six, 15 or 30 days -- to protect perishable products from produce to frozen products. Pressure-sensitive labels are attached to product or packaging prior to shipping, activate by snapping corner. Each configuration allows for 30-minute cool-down period after activation, delays visual alert of temperature excursion for 30 minutes. Color-coding provides easy visual recognition.
