The Industrial Origami Opportunity
Industrial Origami’s Patented Sheet Metal Folding
Technology Provides Significant Value to Manufacturers
Decreases Part Costs…
►
►
►
Reduced material content and part counts
Reduced joining and fastening
Improved quality through greater precision
Decreases Logistics Costs…
►
►
►
Shorter Supply Chains
Ship and store in the “flat”
Fabricate and assemble at different locations
Decreases Capital Requirements…
►
►
►
Low fold forces eliminates the need for expensive “monument” equipment
Significantly lower tooling investments for new products and prototyping
Reduces cost of geographic expansion and can return fabrication to developed regions
Decreases Environmental Impacts…
►
►
►
Radically improved shipping densities and reduced carbon footprint
Reduced material content requirements and resource consumption
Enables material design freedom and upcyclable materials
Worldwide Patents Issued & Pending

The Opportunity
Develop Custom Metal Packaging that is Re-useable:
• Innovative Knock down designs with high shipping densities
• Packaging designs with enhanced brand image and customer product experiences
• More durable, protective and cost effective than wood crating and single trip corrugated
• Lighter weight and lower cost than current metal packaging
• Sustainable Design: upcyclable materials and increased recycled content
