Fold aims to create novel folding technology for light-weight design structures and protective packaging

The main vision for Fold consortium is to create completely new portfolio of industrially foldable products that increase export volume and open new business opportunities. The new folding technology will be a radical innovation to the paper and packaging industry, as well as, to other industry areas, that enable large scale production of ever-before seen novel structures for number of different applications. On a large scale, the project contributes widely to the EU Green Transition Goals.
