Getting a Cellera Line Up and Running: What Converters Can Expect

The question we hear most from converters, in Europe and now in the U.S., is a practical one. Not whether dry forming works. It is running on a customer's production floor today. The question is what it actually takes to get there: what happens between a first conversation and the day a line in your plant is making saleable product. This is the path as we run it. No step is skipped, and nothing here depends on a lab result that has not already been repeated at industrial scale.

Less Coating, Same Protection: What Better Substrate Makes Possible 

Thanks to FiberIQ®, Yangi's proprietary fiber engineering technology, we create materials with high and uniform density, smooth surfaces, and optimized material architecture. This provides an ideal foundation for high-performance barrier solutions before coatings are applied. Better barriers do not start with more coating. They start with better material design. Because when the substrate improves, everything built on top of it can improve as well.

Understanding Curing Through Material Design 

When discussing moulded fiber packaging, conversations around chemistry often focus on functional additives and how to maximize their performance, particularly since some additives require curing to achieve their full effect.  At Yangi, we see it differently: material performance is not driven by chemistry alone, but by the combination of smart material architecture and optimized process settings.
