About Nankai Pleats

Pleating Specialist Offering Traditional and Innovative Techniques, Including Origami-Inspired Shape-Memory Pleats

Nankai Pleats Co., Ltd. is a specialized pleating manufacturer based in Ushiku, Ibaraki, Japan, providing pleating services for a wide range of applications including women's apparel, children's clothing, school uniforms and interior products. Combining skilled craftsmanship with advanced processing techniques, the company offers hand pleating, machine pleating, Shiroset pleating and origami-inspired pleating.

One of its distinctive technologies is its shape-memory “Origami Pleats,” which incorporates the concept of traditional Japanese origami into textiles. Fabrics are folded into three-dimensional forms and treated with a shape-memory process so that they can return to their original form even after being compressed, stretched or immersed in water. This unique approach opens up new possibilities for textile design by combining traditional origami forms with specialized pleating techniques.

Nankai Pleats works with apparel companies, designers and manufacturers from other industries, offering pleating solutions tailored to specific designs and applications. With a combination of craftsmanship, technical expertise and innovative textile processing, the company helps bring distinctive fabric and apparel concepts to life.
