Abstract
A method and apparatus for forming a security enclosure having improved fold retention. In particular, the enclosure is formed by folding a flexible tamper respondent cloth around an electronic assembly. An adhesive on the inner folded surfaces of the cloth temporarily retains the folds. The enclosure is then exposed to heat and pressure to promote improved adhesion strength of the adhesive, thereby improving fold retention.
