Abstract

High temperatures, very high pressures and/or the presence of aggressive media cannot be covered by standard packaging methods, which only provide limited environmental stability. Ceramic technologies such as LTCC (Low Temperature Cofired Ceramic) and thick-film, on the other hand, offer easy manufacturability while achieving hermeticity / media isolation as well as outstanding chemical and thermal stability. This contribution will present several sensor and packaging applications of these technologies to devices which must perform under harsh conditions, as well as potential future developments

Packaging and labeling

Packaging is the science, art and technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use. Packaging also refers to the process of designing, evaluating, and producing packages. Packaging can be described as a coordinated system of preparing goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Packaging contains, protects, preserves, transports, informs, and sells. In many countries it is fully integrated into government, business, institutional, industrial, and personal use.

Package testing

Package testing or packaging testing involves the measurement of a characteristic or property involved with packaging. This includes packaging materials, packaging components, primary packages, shipping containers, and unit loads, as well as the associated processes. Testing measures the effects and interactions of the levels of packaging, the package contents, external forces, and end-use. It can involve controlled laboratory experiments, subjective evaluations by people, or field testing.

Active packaging

The terms active packaging, intelligent packaging, and smart packaging refer to amplified packaging systems used with foods, pharmaceuticals, and several other types of products. They help extend shelf life, monitor freshness, display information on quality, improve safety, and improve convenience. The terms are often related and can overlap. Active packaging usually means having active functions beyond the inert passive containment and protection of the product.
