Saree Pre-pleating & Box Folding
Pricing Guide
Standard Pre-pleating & Box Fold
Fabric Suitability
Best for Mysore Silk, Crepe, Georgette, Chiffon, and lightweight Cotton blends.
Custom Height Fit
Pleats are folded based on your specific height measurement (waist to floor) to ensure the saree does not drag or hang too high.
The 5-Minute Setup
- Structure: Pallu is ironed flat and waist pleats are pre-set.
- Pinning: Secured with rust-free stainless steel pins so pleats do not shift.
Box Folding
The entire saree is folded down to a compact rectangular shape (approx. 12 inches wide) that fits easily into a suitcase or cupboard shelf.
Turnaround Time
Typically 24 to 48 hours.
Premium Pre-pleating for Heavy Silks
Fabric Suitability
Exclusively for Kanjeevarams, Banarasi, Heavy Brocades, Tissue Silks, and Bridal sarees with heavy stone or zari work.
Zari Protection
- Heatless Pressing: Uses hand-pressing or protective cloth barriers to set pleats without damaging pure zari.
- Crease Guards: Includes paper inserts between heavy work areas to prevent snagging.
Bulge Reduction
Special folding technique used to flatten the puffy waist pleats often seen in stiff silk sarees.
Trousseau Ready
Folded into a strict geometric square or rectangle, delivered ready-to-drape (just wrap and hook).
