Why zigzag folded paper is better than plane normal paper ?

1. It is because zigzag folded paper is in a shape of triangle and triangle is best for load handling works.

2 . More area: when we fold a paper in a zigzag way the area and the thickness of the paper will increase which help in more weight handling capacity .

3 .equal spreading :in a zigzag faulted paper the weight will be spreaded on equally it also have a connection with centre of gravity when the weight is on the corner of the triangle it will be equally spreaded to the best os gravity in the ground will help it to balance.

4.Interlocking setup :the triangles are interlocked each other so actually it is better to do interlocking method than doing sticking method with gum because interlocking method will have support each other so it is harder to damage it .

5.Dformation: in triangles it is Hard to have dformations because they have more stable angles so it will be harder to change its shape .

6.Distribution : it is easy to spread the stress to the base of the triangle so it does not break easily .

7.Less bending : this zigzag system will not bend as easily as normal paper so this is better for handling weight.

8 .Applications of zigzag folding method:

It is used in making pillars packing and in many aircraft situations
