somthing i saw on mythbusters

[Fowl97]

well i saw these things on mythbusters where they would turn red if the package was mishandled or thrown around. it was a sticker and i thought it may help people shipping eggs because they would know if their package was handled properly also they had different amounts of how hard it would take to set them off

You are brillent!! i saw the same thing but never thought about it this way if my hens ever lay eggs enough to ship i'll look in on getting some of those!!!

Wow! That is a wonderful and useful idea

Thanks!

You can get them from packing supply companies, but they are rather costly. They may be of the most help attached to packages that are traveling a long distance.

When my DH worked for Scientific Atlanta, they always used those. He suggested them to me when mailing eggs, but no idea how much they cost.

Any idea where to get them? Link? Company name?

Here you go.

Thanks! Have an email in to the distributor to find out just how expensive they are!

here to the place you can actualy buy them, quite expensive if you ask me lol http://www.labsafety.com/Shockwatch-Labels_24549000/?noredirect=true close to $125 or $135 for only 50 of them, but if you are shipping expensive eggs like BCM eggs or Jungle fowl eggs it might be woth it, especially if you got insuranc eon your shipment

$2-$3 each isn't too bad, you could add that onto the shipping charge if selling eggs.
It would be a big lump sum to pay out to buy the 50 - but when broken down its not totally crazy.
