Panel is the thinnest wallet EVER!

The idea of Panel was conceived based on the needs of a single person, but a quick search proved that it solved many problems that other wallets don't.

Learning that we weren't the only ones searching for a better solution led us to create a product that we're confident you'll enjoy, just as much as we've enjoyed the process of developing it.

Here are a few key topics that our product addresses:

Fashion - Wallets detract from your silhouette, and decrease the lifespan of your garments.

Security - Silicone bands are great at keeping a firm grasp on your items and deter pick-pocket theft by creating friction in your pocket.

Health - Sitting on your wallet can cause back pain and lead to sciatica which may cause long-term health issues.

Why Tri-Fold?

Tri-folding and quad-folding your bills is inherently not thin. Panel is one of only a few minimalist wallet solutions that support bi-folded bills, and ours is certainly the most easy to use.

With Panel, your bills stay crisp and the fact that you only have to fold them once means means you can carry more while accessing and storing them effortlessly.

How Many Cards Do You Need?

The versatility of our band and support design enables you to choose how many cards you carry.

We recommend 5-6 cards for everyday use. These include 1-2 banking cards, 1-2 IDs, your medical insurance card, and a mass transit card if you're an urban commuter like many of us.

Wireless ID Theft Just Got A Lot Harder.

Enter the public with much greater confidence. Every Panel uses an aircraft-grade aluminum or grade 2 titanium core that blocks RFID signals from accessing your precious data.

Our advice is to use a pocket that is tight to your body, and always face the cash side out. Our core materials are just a start, and we promise to keep working on RFID blocking technologies until we're sure we've created a solution that eliminates the dangers of wireless ID theft completely.

Simply Considered.

When designing the Panel, every facet of the product was considered to ensure that the form was as minimal as possible, while maximizing its functionality and ease of use.

When you slip a Panel into your pockets you'll never mind that you're carrying one.

Any Pocket. Anywhere.

Panel has been tested in just about every type of pocket or bag you can imagine. No matter the occasion, your next adventure, night out, formal event, or other circumstance, Panel is the right fit for the job.

Testimonials.

“I’m a graphic designer and simplicity is something I seek in every facet of my life. I've never been satisfied by a wallet, but using a Panel fits my lifestyle and I couldn't be more happy." - Matt P. Los Angeles, CA

“I've never whittled my wallet down to where I wanted it. Ben challenged me to use a Panel for a month and I finally ditched all the excess. It's been amazing, and I can't recommend it enough." - Tim E. Washington D.C.

“The only thing worse than carrying a purse is trying to hold on to a clutch. With the Panel Wallet, I have everything I need for a night out. It even fits in the pockets of my skinniest jeans.” - Lauryn T. New York, NY

Execution.

The funds raised through this campaign will enable us to enter the Panel Collection into mass production. What we've intentionally made simple is actually very complex to accomplish, and we'll need every one of your Backer dollars to deliver durable and attractive products to your doorstep.

Over the past year, our team has developed and refined the Panel to a point that we now have a defined set of processes, procedures, and protocols we can count on to work. Completing all of the research and sampling to put these standards in place has enabled our team to consistently achieve the best possible outcomes and mitigate wasteful allocations of our resources during prototyping and final pre-production sampling.

At the conclusion of our Kickstarter campaign, we'll add a few members to our team and work diligently to deliver your Backer Reward sooner than expected. We've already created a really fun packaging experience out of 100% recycled materials and we can't wait for you to share in our joy.

Manufacturing.

To date, we've manufactured about 1,000 Panels while prototyping and testing the various models and bands. Each model has a unique finish that differentiates it from the rest of the collection.

In order to efficiently manufacture with the greatest precision, both the Panels and bands require expensive tooling which is a primary reason for our campaign. Some of the different types of tooling needed are: stamping dies, sanding fixtures, custom plating and anodization racks, hardened engraving bits, special polishing tools, and of course... the mold for our custom silicone bands.

Both the aluminum and titanium Panels will be cut using an industrial press with a custom die that makes several at a time.

Here's a list of the other processes we'll use to reach the final result:

Tumble-Deburring

Sanding, Scotch-Brighting, and Polishing

Fixtured Line-Graining

Tool and Laser Engraving

Plating and Anodizing

Burnishing and Waxing

Our stretch goal is to raise enough funds to consolidate all of our operations into our own shop which will require us to buy or lease all of our own industrial machinery. We'd love to create new jobs for hard working Americans and are confident in our ability to develop even better products with our own team and equipment.

We are extremely grateful for all of the support we've already received from our network over the past year. Now we're excited to share our hard work with you and get your feedback. Thank You Kickstarters!

We'd also like to thank the band Harriet (fellow Kickstarters) for the use of their track. Please help us show them some love!
