A Benchtop Thickness is an important property of a packaging material and critical for other mechanical properties, such as permeability, tensile strength, impact resistance, etc. Besides, it is an efficient way to reduce production cost by controlling material thickness within reasonable range.

A benchtop thickness tester for thin materials is a specialized instrument used to accurately measure the thickness of thin materials such as films, foils, papers, textiles, and other similar products. These thickness testers are designed to provide precise measurements of material thickness, often in microns or mils.

The benchtop thickness tester typically consists of a base unit with a flat surface where the material sample is placed for measurement. The instrument applies a constant pressure on the sample while a sensor detects the thickness of the material. The results are displayed on a digital screen for easy reading and analysis.

These testers are commonly used in industries like packaging, manufacturing, quality control, and research and development where knowing the exact thickness of thin materials is critical for ensuring product quality and performance.
