== Material Thickness ==

'''Material Thickness''' is the measured distance between two opposite surfaces of a material or material layer. It may be specified as a single nominal value or as a range, for example when minimum and maximum thickness values are required.

In packaging specifications, Material Thickness describes how thick the material itself is. It should not be confused with the outer dimensions of a packaging item, such as length, width, height, depth or diameter.

Depending on the packaging type, material type or industry context, Material Thickness may also be referred to as:

* '''Wall thickness''' for rigid packaging such as bottles, jars, cans, cups, tubes and closures.
* '''Film thickness''' for flexible packaging such as films, foils, wraps, sleeves and laminates.
* '''Sheet thickness''' for sheets, plates, labels, layer pads and liners.
* '''Caliper''' for paper, paperboard, cardboard and corrugated board.
* '''Gauge''' for films, foils, sheet metals and other thin materials.
* '''Layer thickness''' for individual layers in multilayer packaging materials.
* '''Coating thickness''' for coatings, varnishes, lacquers, inks and barrier coatings.

Material Thickness can describe the total thickness of a material structure or, where relevant, the thickness of a specific material layer.
