Volume Maximizing Convex Shape

Let CC be a convex piece of paper; its boundary may be a smooth curve, or a polygon. A perimeter halving folding is a folding of CC obtained by identifying two points xx and yy on the boundary of CC that halve the perimeter, and then folding CC by \textquotedblleft{}gluing\textquotedblright{} xyxy to yxyx. This always results in a unique convex shape in 3D, a polyhedron if CC is a convex polygon [Demaine and O'Rourke, 2007]. What unit-area shape CC achieves the maximum volume possible via a perimeter-halving folding?
