About FALTER
It started with a flyer.
For years it was the mixing surface: flat, big enough and always within reach. It just never closed.
The idea
FALTER starts with an observation. People who mix their own put something flat underneath, and very often that is a flyer. It is big enough for both hands, and folded once lengthwise it becomes a channel you can fill from.
What a flyer cannot do is store anything. Whatever is left lies around in the open, and in a pocket the flyer crumples. So the question behind FALTER is simple: how does a surface have to be built so that it packs itself after mixing?
The answer is four folds. Anyone who has mixed on paper knows two of them: once lengthwise into a channel and both ends inward so nothing falls out. FALTER adds two that paper cannot do: a lid that closes the channel and a cross fold that halves the pouch.
The result is a single card with no loose parts. Open, it lies flat on the table. Folded, it is a sealed pouch, smaller than a credit card.
The principle
Four folds, four jobs.
Tap a fold.
Fold 1: Channel
The card creases along its length, and the blend slides to the middle by itself.
Fold 2: Ends
Both ends fold inward. You open one of them later to fill.
Fold 3: Lid
A flap reaches over the open edge so that whatever is left stays inside.
Fold 4: Across
The closed pouch folds in half, and Pocket then measures just 75 × 52.5 mm.
Flyer and FALTER
What stays and what is new.
Mixing and filling work the way you know them from a flyer. Everything that comes after is new.
