[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Items equipped with a 'folding' function that can be folded to reduce volume when not in use and unfolded when needed are gaining popularity. Folding items help make better use of space and contribute to a minimalist interior design. Here, we introduce some folding items.
Living Boxes Also Fold for Storage, Comex's 'Neobox Folding 560, Folding Camping Box 56ℓ'
Living boxes are essential household items. However, when not in use, their bulky size makes storage difficult. Comex Industrial Co., Ltd., a kitchenware company with 50 years of tradition, has added a folding function to its steady seller Neobox, releasing the 'Neobox Folding 560' and 'Folding Camping Box 56ℓ' that can be folded for storage.
The Neobox Folding 560 adds a folding function to the popular Neobox living box, allowing easy folding and storage when not in use. When unfolded, it has a capacity of 56ℓ and a height of 278(H) mm, but when folded, the height is only about 90(H) mm, enabling efficient use of space. When in use, simply raise the four walls and click each corner into place to transform it into a storage box. Both the front and back have a double-opening design, allowing easy access to contents without needing to remove boxes stacked on top.
It retains the strong durability that is Neobox's strength, with a sturdy horizontal and vertical frame design that safely stores heavy contents. Unlike folding boxes without lids or with cover types, it is equipped with a robust locking mechanism that prevents opening even if tilted or flipped, ensuring secure portability. It also features a name tag for noting storage dates and contents, making it more convenient to use. The Neobox Folding 560 uses non-toxic materials, allowing safe storage of household items for the whole family.
The Folding Camping Box 56ℓ shares the same specifications as the Neobox Folding 560 but sports a stylish military green color. It is great for wild outdoor activities and also works well as a decorative accent for home interiors.
