Material thickness testing evaluates the thickness of formed packaging cavities. Typical packaging formats for this test method include thermoformed trays and form-fill-seal packaging systems. It is useful in sealing validations and evaluating performance after an event, such as distribution or shelf life. It may also be used as an in-process or incoming inspection tool.
