Question:

What is the proccess of making a flexable seem on a plastic sheet?

I am trying to fugure out how to create a flexable seem out of a sheet of plastic. For example if you had a 12x12 sheet of plastic 1/16 thick and you wanted to fold it in half to create two 6x12 flaps. How would you create a seem at the fold that could be easly folded and unfolded repeatedly for a long duration?

Answer:

You could do this with a living hinge. Co-extrude the plastic profile with rigid plastic connected with the flexible plastic living hinge. Long duration needs to defined.
