Scale loupe or microscope? Maybe with a help of a dyed low-surface-tension liquid.

Aside from the mentioned optical comparator and dye penetration, there is gas flow/detection. Depends on the packaging application for regulation. There is a 3rd party standard from British and International Standards BS EN 868-1
