Abstract
Strings on the surface of gift boxes can be modelled as a special kind of cable-and-joint structure. This paper deals with systems composed of idealised (frictionless) closed loops of strings that provide stable binding to the underlying convex polyhedron (‘package’). Optima are searched in both the sense of topology and geometry in finding minimal number of closed loops as well as the minimal (total) length of cables to ensure such a stable binding for simple cases of polyhedra.
