Company I wokred for used Silicon Wafers in the manufacture of transistors / diodes and such.
We had one line which was shipped out for irradiation. We used custom tooling and EACH 'set' of maybe 50 wafers or so was individually anti-static bagged and sealed. EACH bag also got a shockwatch sticker.
Designed to indicate an over a certain accelertion event. Such stickers were available in 1g thru 20g increments and were reliable.
We'd inspect each for a trigger event and I had to be there when these were opened to help document for the shipper and insurance and to 'scrap' out the broken material from the line.
It is NOT in the interest of shippers to adopt this system. They'd have to improve all package handling and could lose a LOT in insurance claims. Also? A trigger event would start a 'he-said / she-said' which would last months.
Too much is never enough
