About Gradient Ramp Kitendaji Kikuu: Mkanda Wenye Gundi

Maandishi ya Kitabu: Gradient Ramp ni mkanda wenye gundi ulioundwa ili kurahisisha kuipata ncha iliyokatwa. Mkanda wa kawaida wa uwazi ni mwepesi sana, hivyo ukingo wake huwa mgumu kuupata baada ya kutumika. Gradient Ramp hubeba rangi inayobadilika taratibu (gradient) kwa urefu wake wote. Wakati mkanda unapokatwa, tabaka hizo huunda tofauti ya rangi inayoonekana wazi kwenye mstari wa ukataji. Mtumiaji hutafuta eneo lenye mkanganyiko mkubwa wa rangi na kuuvuta mkanda kutoka hapo. Mkanda huu umetengenezwa kwa filamu ya PVC isiyo na kilaini (plasticizer), ambayo hutoa ustahimilivu mzuri wa joto la chini, mshikamano thabiti wa awali, na urahisi wa kukatwa.

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

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.
