# Leather Beer Carriers Sixfold Boasts a Patent-Pending Fold-and-Notch Design By Meghan Young | Published 2015-06-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sixfold References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/Sixfold-Leather-Carriers) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jointhefold/sixfold-a-well-crafted-carrier-for-your-well-craft) Sixfold is a great alternative to more common [cardboard beer carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stanley-1913-x-arsenal-collection). Made with craft brews in mind, Sixfold matches the care put into such beverages with a quality design that not only keeps the bottles safe and secure, but also stylish and luxurious. Yet what makes Sixfold stand out the most is its "patent-pending fold-and-notch technology that pares down production and allows users to become makers," writes the designers. Currently on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-carriers), Sixfold is quick and easy to use, which is surprising considering its overall look. Available in six- and four-pack sizes, Sixfold comes with four pieces in total: three [sustainably sourced walnut pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hunter-luxury) that act as separators and one full leather sheath that only needs to be folded a total of six times before it’s ready to hold drinks reliably. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Sustainable Packaging:** The patent-pending fold-and-notch technology in Sixfold beer carriers reduces waste and offers a more eco-friendly alternative to cardboard carriers. - **Luxury Design:** Sixfold beer carriers combine functionality with style, providing a luxurious and high-quality packaging solution for craft brews. - **User-driven Production:** The fold-and-notch technology in Sixfold beer carriers allows users to easily assemble their carriers, empowering them and creating a customizable experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Beer:** The innovative design of Sixfold beer carriers caters specifically to the craft beer industry, offering an upscale packaging solution. - **Packaging and Shipping:** The sustainable and user-friendly fold-and-notch technology in Sixfold beer carriers has the potential to disrupt the packaging and shipping industry. - **Fashion and Accessories:** The stylish and luxurious leather sheath of Sixfold beer carriers opens up opportunities for collaboration between the craft beer and fashion industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Impact-Resistant Wine Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinarmour-wine-carrier.md) - [Multifunctional Beverage Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermobag-drink-carrier.md) - [Urban Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffee-carriers.md) - [Plastic-Free Beer Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heineken-green-grip.md) - [Waste-Made Cardholder Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arda-biomaterials.md) - [Adhesive-Held Water Multi-Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vilsa.md) - [Collapsible Folding Carrier Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-cup.md) - [Sustainable Cafe Delivery Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-pulp-coffee-carrier.md) - [On-the-Go Wine Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimate-wine-bundle.md)
