Package impact indicator(s) registering location and elapsed time from impact

An assembly comprising:

• a package;
• and
• an impact indicator associated with the package, the impact indicator comprising:
• a multi-layer impact registering structure coupled to the package for registering a location and an elapsed time of an impact of excessive impact force on the package, the multi-layer impact registering structure including:
• a first layer containing a first element;
• a second layer containing a second element, wherein the first layer is a first planar layer, the second layer is a second planar layer, and the first element and the second element are selected to register the location of the impact on the multi-layer impact register structure and the elapsed time of the impact when coming in contact due to the impact;
• and
• a barrier film isolating the first and second planar layers, the barrier film being a planar film calibrated to rupture with a specified impact force, and once ruptured, the first element and the second element contacting, in part, to provide an indication of a particular location in the multi-layer impact registering structure experiencing a greatest impact force due to the impact, and a time elapsed indication indicative of the elapsed time from the rupture in the barrier film.

A method of fabricating an impact indicator for a package, the method comprising:

• providing a multi-layer impact registering structure to register, when associated with the package, a location and an elapsed time of an impact of excessive impact force on the package, the providing including:
• providing a first layer containing a first element;
• providing a second layer contain a second element, wherein the first layer is a first planar layer, the second layer is a second planar layer, and the first element and the second element are selected to register location of the impact on the multi-layer impact register structure and the an elapsed time of the impact when coming in contact due to the impact;
• and
• isolating the first and second planar layers by a barrier film, the barrier film being a planar film calibrated to rupture with a specified impact force, and once ruptured, the first element and the second element contacting, in part, to provide an indication of a particular location in the multi-layer impact registering structure experiencing a greatest impact force due to the impact, and a time elapsed indication indicative of the elapsed time from the rupture.
