taitoksia

Taitoksia is the plural form of taitos, a Finnish noun meaning fold, crease, or pleat. The term is used across several domains to describe a line or pattern created by folding material such as paper, fabric, or sheet metal. The root comes from taittaa, “to fold.”

In everyday language taitoksia often refers to pleats in clothing or fabric textures, for example in skirts or dresses where folds create volume and decorative effects. In textiles, taitokset can indicate both permanent creases and intentional folds produced during manufacturing or by the wearer.

In origami and paper crafts, taitokset denotes the sequence of creases that define a model. Guides and diagrams frequently label common taitokset and base folds, with the broader idea of mountain and valley folds common to many folding traditions.

In publishing and packaging, taitto refers to the layout or composition of pages, including the arrangement of text blocks, images, and fold lines in brochures or booklets. When a product is designed to be folded, taitokset can describe the physical fold lines that determine how the material is opened or displayed.

Overall, taitoksia is a versatile term connected to folding and creasing across crafts, fashion, paper arts, and design. The precise meaning depends on the context, but all senses share the core idea of shaping geometry by folding a sheet or other flexible material.
