Toyo Ink Co. Ltd., a member of the Toyo Ink Group of Japan, has announced its participation at the International Graphic Arts Show (IGAS) 2018 to be held at the Tokyo Big Sight, from 26-31 July 2018. First held in 1974, IGAS is a comprehensive international trade show on print media. The event showcases the latest products, technology and services related to printing, bookbinding, paper converting, packaging, digital graphics and digital communications.

At the Toyo Ink stand in East Hall 1, Stand 1-18, the company will be proposing a wide range of solutions under the show concept of ‘Contributing to improvements in customer corporate value.’ Products and technology will be featured from the three perspectives of Functionality, Packaging and Sustainability.

High functionality for high-impact effects

Under the Functionality heading, Toyo Ink will feature its TOYO KING NEX NV 100 Kaleido line of expanded gamut inks that achieve true color reproduction with 4-color printing. Kaleido orange and green base inks are also available for a broader color gamut. On display will also be the TOYO KING metallic silver ink series for high-end paper packaging. Made with silver pigments, the ink brings a metallic luster similar to extruded silver to packages for a look that stands out on store shelves.

Formulated for UV screen or UV flexo printing, the FLASH DRY SS Soft Feel series of varnish gives an ultra-soft or matte finish to paper or plastic substrates. FLASH DRY 237 LIOTONE screen printing inks impart true-to-life grainy texture to packages. Other featured solutions will include LED-UV flexo inks, low-energy UV offset inks, clear coat varnishes, high-density black inks for high-quality paper printing, and solvent-based inks for powderless offset printing and much more.

Biomass, eco inks for sustainable printing

The Environment category will feature Toyo Ink’s biomass line-up developed as part of its commitment to achieve a low carbon society. The company will highlight flexible packaging inks and adhesives using biomass natural ingredients. Visitors to the booth can also learn about its advances in plant-based chemistry in the manufacturing of products and materials that are free of fossil resources or based on recycled materials, such as recycled vegetable oil.

Advanced packaging solutions

Aimed at converters looking to achieve package production with less residual solvents and a safer work environment, Toyo Ink will have on show its water-based flexographic inks for flexible packaging, such as AQUA LIONA (reverse print) and AQUAGRACE (surface print). In addition, there will be the company’s latest line of UV and water-based inkjet systems for digital printing on corrugated board. These inks have been customized for use on single-pass digital printing systems, such as BARBERAN and SUN Automation, while realizing high productivity rates of 55 m/min or more. On display will also be a complete line of FLASH DRY series of UV, LED and even electron beam (EB) curable inks for paper and plastic applications. It will also include an upgraded line of food regulation-compliant solutions.

Toyo Ink will show digital tools and systems that can help package printers manage color across their entire workflow. Demos of X-Rite eXact spectrophotometers, EcoMatch NX color matching support system for packaging, and PantoneLIVE color management software solutions, will also take place at the stand.

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.

In an admittedly fragmented and textured terrain, this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing support communication – in our impactful and highly targeted business platform.
