Steraflex GIO UV Boosts Performance and Regulatory Compliance
Toyo Ink Europe N.V., a member of Japan’s artience Group (formerly Toyo Ink Group), has recently added the Steraflex GIO UV to its existing portfolio of flexographic printing inks. The new ink system offers superb print and press performance on most label substrates, sleeves and other applications where migration is a key priority. Moreover, Steraflex GIO is fully compliant with EuPIA, Swiss Ordinance, the latest ECHA SVHC list and other European regulatory requirements including the German Ink Ordinance, setting a new benchmark in both safety and performance.
Formulated with a next-generation binder system, Steraflex GIO delivers enhanced adhesion across a broad range of substrates, from standard films to demanding label materials. Compared to its predecessor, this ink demonstrates significantly improved bond strength, even on low surface tension substrates like BOPP. This enables converters and brands to have greater versatility in materials and applications, without compromising on print quality or safety.
Steraflex GIO reflects Toyo Ink Europe’s commitment to sustainable innovation, regulatory foresight, and high-performance printing solutions. “With increasing regulatory scrutiny on food packaging inks, compliance and transparency are more important than ever,” said Ismail Yilmaz, General Manager Sales & Corporate Strategy of Toyo Ink Europe. “Steraflex GIO is free from intentionally added photoinitiator 379, ensuring it aligns with the current and upcoming requirements under the German Ink Ordinance. This gives printers and brand owners peace of mind when producing packaging for more sensitive applications, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical sector.”
Steraflex GIO will be highlighted at the Toyo Ink Europe (artience Group) booth Hall 3, Stand A32 at Labelexpo Europe 2025, September 16 to 19, in Barcelona. In addition, Toyo Ink Europe will be offering an updated portfolio of its LED, UV and EB (electron beam) product ranges, all of which are designed to minimize environmental impact and health risks while delivering excellent print results.
