    Abstract: The present invention provides an airbag folding method comprising a plurality of steps. The method begins by forming four inward tucks along each of a first and second edge of an airbag, the tucks having substantially similar depths and extending substantially in parallel. Next, a first half of the airbag is folded a plurality of times, thereby forming a first fold body, and a second half of the airbag is folded a plurality of times, thereby forming a second fold body. The inward tucks form a plurality of adjacent layers extending along first and second edges of the airbag that upon supplying an inflation gas to an interior of the airbag resist unfolding, thereby directing the inflation gas initially predominantly into the first and second fold bodies.
