From Idea to Impact: Yangi's Agile Approach to Product Development for Dry Forming
At Yangi, product development isn’t just a process — it’s a partnership rooted in purpose. Whether you’re looking to tailor one of Yangi ready-for-market product, adapt your hero product to our dry forming platform, or co-create a completely new solution, we’re here to help you unlock what’s next.
Built for the Real World — Focused on Impact
Our development efforts are grounded in real market needs — with a strategic focus on food, takeaway, and single-use applications. These are categories under intense scrutiny, but they’re also where the opportunity for meaningful change is greatest. That’s where Yangi comes in.
From salad bowls and coffee lids to trays, containers, and container lids — our platform is designed to replace conventional single-use packaging with renewable, high-performance alternatives.
Whether you're a brand looking to enhance your customer experience with easy-to-recycle, fiber-based packaging that elevates your sustainability impact and lowers your carbon footprint, or a producer seeking to complement your existing packaging offer with high-performance fiber alternatives — we’re here to help you bring new solution to market, fast.
Agile. Collaborative. Fast.
Speed and flexibility are built into the way we work. Our in-house industrial design team, supported by fast and affordable tooling and an expert team of material scientist, turns ideas into testable samples in record time. With on-site lab equipment and real-time feedback loops, we prototype, test, and iterate rapidly — giving you early confidence and faster paths to decision.
We support you across every phase of development — from design feasibility to pilot production to small-scale production for market testing— working in sprints that keep your project moving forward with clarity and momentum.
Design with Soul, Built for Scale
At Yangi, great design starts with deeply understanding the dry forming process — from how materials behave to how the dry forming process affects the final product. Our industrial designers and material specialist work at the intersection of function, form, and dry forming manufacturing reality.
Designing products for dry forming is rarely one-to-one replacement for plastic or wet molded fiber — it’s a different process with new possibilities. That’s where our expertise comes in. We help you rethink form, function, and features to unlock the full creative and technical potential of the material in the dry forming process.
We guide you in designing with:
Fiber-optimized shapes — Organic, symmetrical forms with low aspect ratios for better material flow and strength
Smart draft angles — Engineered for efficient forming and mold release
Optimized thickness & density — Minimal material use, maximum performance
Detailed dual-sided forming — For clear branding and functional features
Flexible die cutting — From rimmed edges to custom openings
Multi-compartment formats — Shallow, seamless designs for usability and efficiency
Custom branding options — Distinctive embossing, tailored textures, and post-processing such as labeling to make your product unmistakably yours.
With dry forming, design isn’t a limitation — it’s an invitation to innovate. We aim for packaging that’s light, strong, beautiful, and better for the world.
Your Trusted Parter in Dry Forming
At Yangi, we see product development as a true partnership. We’re with you every step of the way — from early ideas to launch day — helping you make the shift to packaging that’s better for people and the planet.
But we also know that real change doesn’t happen unless it works for your business. The most powerful sustainability solutions are the ones that align with commercial success — because that’s when they scale. That’s our sweet spot: creating packaging that’s not just lower-impact, but also builds your brand and sets you up for what’s next.
Our collaborative process includes:
Portfolio Exploration: Assessing your current packaging and identifying opportunities for sustainable alternatives using our dry forming technology.
Concept Development: Co-creating designs that meet functional requirements and resonate with your consumers.
Prototyping & Testing: Utilizing our in-house lab to rapidly develop and refine prototypes, ensuring optimal performance and aesthetics.
Tooling & Material Selection: Engineering custom tooling and selecting material recipes tailored to your specific needs.
Compliance & Certification: Conducting rigorous testing to meet industry standards and prepare for a successful market launch.
