The food-grade metal coatings & inks will be exhibited jointly by Toyochem, Toyo Ink and Jiangmen Toyo Ink, all member companies of the Toyo Ink Group of Japan.
Brand owners and can-makers planning to enhance the performance of metal packaging coatings will have the opportunity to learn more about Toyochem’s Finishes series of can coatings for metal substrates.
The group will also showcase its sustainable metal packaging solutions, including BPA-NI interior coatings for food and beverage cans, water-based coil coatings, UV-curable surface coatings, and interior and exterior coatings for general-use cans.
Visitors can also see how Toyo Ink Group’s portfolio of metal decorating inks can help them meet increasing food packaging compliance requirements with energy-efficient UV technologies.

An expanded portfolio of low-migration inks for food packaging applications will also be on display, featuring the EXC 21000 M Steracan Food series of Swiss Ordinance-compliant, UV-curable inks and the MD King LED LM series of LED-curable inks that comply with the Nestle and Swiss Ordinance guidelines.
