Like bubble wrap, but instead of good old air, the bubbles are instead filled with one of a selection of incredibly harmful materials. Sand, glass dust, a mild acid, regular water, a mix of bleach in half the bubbles and ammonia in the other, etc. Serves the bastards right for asking you to mail it to
them instead of getting up and fetching it themselves.

Can I suggest mercaptans, the chemical culprits responsible for skunk scent? |
|
| |
Should be clearly marked, "SAFE FOR CHILDREN". |
|
| |
It's also useful if you've ever had a valuable cargo ruined by the likes of UPS/ParcelFarce/insert your least favourite courier here... just make sure the next parcel you send is wrapped with Trouble Wrap, and chuckle as their baggage-monkeys ruin all the vans and depots that it passes through. |

"THIS SHIPMENT WILL START TO SMELL REALLY BAD IF DROPPED". |
|

It's possible to purchase special G-shock labels containing an indicator that shows if the package has been subjected to excessive accelerations.
The problem seems to be that when you order them, more than half are already broken when you open the package .... |
|
| |
Modifying the technology to release mercaptans makes perfect sense. |
|
| |
"G-shock labels .... more than half are already broken when you open the package" |
|
| |
Implying that the remaining labels are faulty, since they failed to register the event which caused the others to break. |
|
| |
No, it's more complicated than that, beacuse they're orientation-sensetive and it depends along which axis the shock is applied. |
|
| |
Also it presumably depends on how many other labels there are between them and the edge of the package; the closer to the impact point they are, the more shock they'll take. |
|
| |
Conclusion: The way to protect your shipment is to
wrap it in several inches thickness of G-shock labels. |
