If you’re not completely sure what’s around the corner in packaging solutions, Toyo Ink may well be the Tokyo Pack exhibitor you want to follow. PKN will be at Tokyo Pack, so keep coming back here to explore what is on show there. 

The package processing innovations Toyo Ink will be presenting are based on the concept, Total Packaging Solutions of the Future. They cover material procurement, manufacture, distribution, sale, consumption, disposal and recycling.

Toyo Ink’s exhibition is divided into four solutions categories: Colour Management, Environment and Safety, High Performance and Advanced Design and Global Market Solutions.

Colour Management: As flexible packaging became more and more, colour management became an increasingly important issue. Colour management may well be one of your most pressing concerns. To address it, Toyo Ink will feature two live presentations on colour management support for process printing and colour management solutions on stage at its booth. The company will also hold live demos of its latest ink dispensing system for the labelling market.

Environment and Safety: Toyo Ink solutions for flexo printing are experiencing a surge in interest. The company will therefore showcase a complete product line-up based on its water-based flexo inks, from prepress to post-printing. It will also introduce case studies of innovative solutions that combine its water-based inks and water-based adhesives, and offer a hands-on display of its solvent-free adhesive mixing device.

High Performance and Advanced Design: Toyo Ink will introduce a completely new line-up of UV inks at Tokyo Pack. It will also showcase advanced packaging and design techniques based on a wide array of Toyo Ink high-performance materials, such as ultraviolet (UV) coatings, overprint varnishes, functional screen inks and hot-melt adhesives.

Global Market Solutions: More of Toyo Inks' customers are making forays into international markets, so the company will highlight packaging products and services that support geographic expansion and introduce packaging ink solutions representative of those the Toyo Ink Group has launched in markets all over the world. A comprehensive line-up of food packaging inks compliant with the Swiss Ordinance will also be on display.

Yasuyuki Kawada, manager of Toyo Ink’s Graphic Solution Center, Technical Center, will also deliver a presentation on “Colour Management for Package Design” on October 10 at 2:00 p.m., at the seminar room in East Hall 6. Kawada will provide details on Toyo Ink’s colour management system architecture that can improve colour quality and operational efficiency throughout the package production workflow. And he will introduce Toyo Ink’s first colour management system based on the International Color Consortium (ICC) profile format.

Toyo Ink will be located in booth 2-28, East Hall 2, at Tokyo Pack. For more info on Tokyo Pack 2014, click here.
