Pet Product
Development, End to End.
From a rough sketch to a shelf-ready SKU. YMS guides pet brands through concept, industrial design, tooling, validation, and mass production -- all under one factory roof.
Where You Are
Start From Any Phase of Your Project
Whether you have a napkin sketch or a finished sample, we plug into your workflow at the right stage.
Concept Only
You have a product idea or market gap. We shape it into a buildable spec.
Start HereSketch Ready
You have drawings or renders. We handle engineering, CAD and DFM.
ContinuePrototype Stage
You need rapid samples for validation, pitching or user testing.
Jump InReady for Mold
You have a validated design. We move to tooling, NPI and mass production.
Scale UpProduct Concept Definition
From Rough Idea to Clear Product Brief
We work with your team to translate a market opportunity into a buildable product specification -- defining target users, use cases, performance requirements, cost ceilings and regulatory constraints before a single line is drawn.

Target Cost & Compliance Plan
Budget-driven material pre-selection with FDA/LFGB alignment.
Industrial Design & Engineering
Shape, Function and Feel -- Engineered Together
Our in-house ID team builds designs that are beautiful on the shelf and buildable on the line. Every curve is checked against mold flow, demolding angles and real pet ergonomics.
Sketch & Ideation
Multi-direction concept exploration
3D CAD Modeling
SolidWorks, Rhino, KeyShot renders
Ergonomic Study
Pet-size and user grip analysis
Color & Finish CMF
Pantone matching & surface texture
DFM & Structural Optimization
Designed for Manufacturing, Not Just for Rendering.
Many beautiful designs fail at the mold. We bridge that gap by reviewing every file against real tooling constraints -- before you spend a dollar on steel.
Draft Angle Check
Ensures smooth demolding without surface damage.
Wall Thickness
Prevents sink marks, warping and short-shots.
Mold Flow Analysis
Simulates fill, gate and vent locations.
Cycle Time Review
Optimizes design to lower per-unit cost at scale.
Materials & Process Evaluation
The Right Silicone, The Right Process, Every Time
We maintain an in-house library of food-grade silicones and compatible auxiliary materials, matched against your product's performance and cost targets.
Compression / Transfer Molding
Ideal for thicker, structural pet products like slow feeder mats, chew toys, grooming brushes and foldable bowls. Durable, cost-effective at mid-high volumes.
- Shore hardness 20A - 80A
- Food-grade & BPA-free
- Supports multi-color bonding
LSR Injection Molding
Ideal for high-precision, thin-wall or over-molded parts like water bottle valves, pet nipples, and silicone + PP hybrid products. Great for high-volume automation.
- Tight tolerance ±0.05 mm
- Overmold onto PP, PC, metal
- Clean, flash-free surface
Secondary Processes Available
Prototyping & Rapid Sampling
See It, Touch It, Test It -- In Days, Not Months.
Before committing to production tooling, we deliver functional samples using the fastest viable method. You get a product you can actually test with real pets, real buyers and real retailers.
3D-Printed Appearance Prototypes
1-3 days. Validate shape, size and ergonomics.
CNC & Hand-Poured Silicone Samples
5-10 days. Real material feel, functional testing.
Soft Tooling Pilot Run
15-25 days. Short-run production for retail trials.
Mold Development
Precision Tooling, Built to Run for Years.
Our in-house tooling workshop produces molds with dimensional tolerance within ±0.1 mm, engineered for high-cycle production and consistent quality.
Steel-Grade Tooling
P20, S136, NAK80 and 718H steel options matched to volume and cosmetic requirements.
T0 Trial Shot
First article inspection with full dimensional report.
T1 / T2 Refinement
Fine-tuning until every sample passes inspection.
Testing & Validation
Every Product Earns Its Shelf Space.
Before NPI, every product passes a battery of material, performance and compliance tests. We ship with full documentation -- ready for customs, retailers and your QA team.
Tensile Strength
Temperature & Humidity
Tear Resistance
Impact & Drop Test
NPI & Mass Production
From Pilot to Full Line Production -- Smoothly.
New Product Introduction (NPI) is where many factories fail. Our dedicated NPI team transitions your project from engineering to production floor without a drop in quality.
Pilot Run (100-500 pcs)
Validate tooling, cycle time, packaging and QA checkpoints under real production conditions.
Ramp-Up Production
Scaling to full capacity across multiple shifts, with inline quality control at every station.
Steady-State Manufacturing
Long-term supply with capacity planning, forecasting, logistics and continuous improvement.
