Measuring what matters

One of the biggest challenges in packaging development is translating functional requirements into measurable material performance. A tray may need to withstand hot, oily food, maintain stiffness during transport, or perform consistently in high-speed production. Understanding which material properties influence those outcomes is essential for making the right development decisions.

This is why we have developed a range of application-specific test methods at the Yangi Technical Center and Laboratory. Rather than relying solely on standardized material testing, we combine application-based evaluations with material characterization and mechanical performance analysis to better understand how products behave in real use.

Our capabilities span everything from:

✅Fiber formation analysis

✅Oil hold-out and water resistance

✅Wet strength

✅Compression

✅Deflection

✅Hoop strength

✅Fiber release

Several of these methods have been developed specifically to bridge the gap between laboratory measurements and commercial packaging performance. By combining fiber science, material characterization, and application testing, we help converters and brand owners translate functional requirements into measurable data. This creates a stronger foundation for material selection, product optimization, and faster development with reduced technical risk.
