Dimensions and repeating patterns on pouches, bags etc.

Dimensions like width, length, side gusset depth on bags, reels, packagings, repeat measurements, with calibrated metal measuring stick n = 5

In short — AI-generated

This test determines the precise dimensions of flexible packaging, such as width, length, and side gusset depth, as well as the length of repeating print patterns. Using calibrated measuring tools, we perform five individual measurements per sample to ensure accurate data collection according to established standards and our internal test procedure PV042.

The resulting values confirm whether the packaging meets the specified dimensions and print registration requirements necessary for automated filling lines. This data is essential for quality control, ensuring compliance with legal regulations like the German Fertigpackungsverordnung and verifying that the material conforms to industry standards for film and bag production.
