As a fully integrated industrial platform, Cellera\u00ae delivers cost-competitive high-volume output with repeatable precision, providing the operational stability that packaging producers and converters need to scale with confidence. With premium surface quality, predictable performance and expanded design freedom, the tray sets a new standard for fiber packaging, enabling brands to finally move beyond the limitations of wet-molded fiber.<\/p>\n<h4>Performance &amp; Design: Built for Real Food &amp; Real Brands<\/h4>\n<p>The tray has been developed to meet the functional requirements of various food applications. Tested for consumer use in chilled, frozen, microwave and oven settings, the tray maintains its shape, strength and stability across typical consumer handling. With sealing capabilities and compatibility with Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), it supports shelf-life ambitions across protein and ready-meal applications.<\/p>\n<p>Made from renewable, responsibly sourced virgin fibers, the tray features a PFAS-free composition and a functional laminate applied selectively to high-demand applications. Recyclability is dependent on the selected laminate, with certain structures designed to be compatible with existing paper recycling systems, supporting fiber recovery after use. Integrated fiber chemistry also ensures the right outer properties of the tray. The tray is available in bleached and unbleached options, and the size can be adapted to the required format. It supports debossing, high-resolution digital printing across the full surface \u2014 including the sides \u2014 as well as a label-ready finish.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tray can be used as designed or customized to meet specific product, barrier and design requirements,\u201d says Hanna Rudel, Chief Commercial Officer at Yangi. \u201cIt gives brands and converters the flexibility to adopt <a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/keywords\/8663-fiber-based-packaging\" id=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">fiber-based packaging<\/a> that is intentional, premium and high-performing without compromising on design, functionality or cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4>Yangi Cellera\u00ae: The Standard in Dry Forming\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>The tray is produced using Cellera\u00ae, Yangi\u2019s dry forming platform, which combines precision dual-drum airlaid formation, in-line custom pad formation, and precision transfer technology to deliver maximum fiber control and optimized material use in every product, unlocking smooth, uniform surfaces previously unattainable with renewable fibers. By eliminating the wet stage of traditional pulp molding, Cellera\u00ae also simplifies production, reduces process complexity and enables industrial-scale dry forming with fast 4\u20136 second cycle times. The result is predictable, high-volume output with tighter tolerances, consistent quality and lower energy and water use. Dry forming represents a fundamental shift in fiber packaging production, replacing wet pulp processes with a precise, scalable and design-flexible approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith renewable materials, a PFAS-free composition, ~ 80% lower CO\u2082 impact compared to plastic alternatives and scalable industrial reliability, Yangi\u2019s dry-formed tray represents more than just a product launch,\u201d says Anna Altner, Founder at Yangi. \u201cFor packaging producers and brands seeking alternatives to wet-molded fiber, it signals the arrival of dry forming as the new benchmark in fiber-based packaging.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/106290-yangi-launches-dry-formed-fiber-tray-for-meat-fish-and-ready-meal-packaging\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yangi has launched the first production-ready dry-formed fiber tray for meat, fish, deli and ready meals, enabled by Cellera\u00ae, the company\u2019s turnkey dry forming technology.
