About Gradient Ramp Umupira w'Ibipapuro

Gradient Ramp ni umupira w'ibipapuro (adhesive tape) wagenewe gutuma umuntu abona byoroshye aho wacitse. Umupira usanzwe usa n'ikirahure kandi ni muto cyane, bityo rero inkombe yawo akenshi iba igoye kubona nyuma yo kuwukoresha. Gradient Ramp ifite amabara ahindagurika mu buryo bugenda buhinduka (gradient) ku buryo bwose bw'uburebure bwayo. Iyo umupira ucitse, ibice byawo bigaragaza itandukaniro ry'amabara rigaragara ku murongo wacitseho. Ukoresha agomba gushaka agace gafite itandukaniro rikomeye ry'amabara, hanyuma akavana umupira uhereye aho hantu. Umupira ukorwa mu gifashishwa cya PVC (PVC film) kitagira plasticizer, gitanga ubushobozi bwiza bwo kwihanganira ubukonje, ubushobozi bukomeye bwo kwifatanya vuba (initial tack), ndetse n'oroshye mu gucibwa.

The Recognition

About the Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma

Gradient Ramp Umupira w'Ibipapuro ni uwegukanye Igihembo cya A' Design Award cy'icyuma, ishimwe ry'agaciro ritangwa ku bishushanyo byiza bihuza ibyo umwuga n'inganda bikeneye ku bihangano byashushanyijwe neza. Abegukanye icyuma bagaragaza ubuhanga bukomeye, ubumenyi bwihariye, imyumvire y'inzobere n'ubushobozi bwo guhanga bw'ababikoze. Gradient Ramp Umupira w'Ibipapuro biteganyijwe ko izaba igihangano cyubahwa, gishimwa kandi gikundwa, gifatika kandi gifite udushya. Iki gishushanyo cyegukanye icyuma gihuza uburyo bwiza bukoreshwa mu nganda kandi gifite ibiranga bya tekiniki bifite ubushobozi, bifatanye n'ubumenyi n'impano. Gradient Ramp Umupira w'Ibipapuro yubahwa kubera gukora neza, kandi yashushanyijwe kugira ngo inoze ubuzima, ifashe gutuma isi iba nziza.

Unique Properties: This is a sellotape with a unique color. What is unique about it is what it does. It is a tape made of gradient. After using the tape, due to the gradient characteristics of the cut after use will form a color difference. So that users find the transparent tape incision, easy to use.
Dimensions & Packaging: length 10cm x Width 10cm x Height 1.5cm
Tags: Tape, Tape cut, Gradient ramp, Convenience, Stationery
Production Technology: No plasticizer PVC film based material, with good low temperature resistance, good initial viscosity, easy punching and cutting molding.
Design Challenge: This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research: In the past decade, the production of rubber belt has maintained an upward trend, with the output rising from 10.03 billion square meters in 2007 to 21.86 billion square meters in 2016. The industry scale is expanding continuously, and the market prospect is broad. Despite the forward-looking estimates, in 2017, the production of tape reached 23.80 billion square meters, a year-on-year growth of 8.88%. In such a large market, a tape that solves pain points is very promising.
Inspiration: I get my inspiration from gradient.Tape is a stationery that many people often use.Because the tape is too thin.Everyone who uses tape has a problem with not finding the cut.We combine the principle of gradient with tape.You can easily find the tape cut through the color difference.Our motivation was to design a tape that was easier to use.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: First pick up the tape. Second, look for areas where the color difference is very pronounced. Third, use tape. Finally, after using the tape, the tape incision and tape will directly produce obvious color difference, convenient for people to find, so that the next use is more simple.
