Box-pleated is a type of pleating where folds are created in a flat fabric, both parallel and perpendicular to the center crease. This creates a structured and tailored look. There are several synonyms for box-pleated including knife-pleated, folded, creased, tucked, and pressed. Knife pleated refers to sharp and precise pleats created by folding the fabric in one direction and pressing it firmly. Folded pleats refer to any style of pleating where the fabric is folded over onto itself. Creased and tucked pleats refer to the use of iron or needle to create folds in the fabric, while pressed pleats are created using an iron to create sharp, defined creases.
