Our experience has shown that the application of CheckPoint® labels to master cartons in shipment can be used as an effective control for fluid loss due to mild temperature abuse in shipment.  The key is that the product that has arrived may be in good commercial condition, but fluid losses have reduced its profitability.  Programs that enforce proper temperature maintenance in handling can be based on a minimal investment in CheckPoint® labels on master cartons.
