Introducing Steraflex GIO: A New Standard in Low Migration Flexo Inks
We are proud to introduce Steraflex GIO, our latest innovation in low migration flexographic printing inks. Specially developed to meet the most stringent regulatory requirements, Steraflex GIO is fully compliant with the new German Ink Ordinance (GIO)—setting a new benchmark in both safety and performance.
With increasing regulatory scrutiny on food packaging inks, compliance and transparency are more important than ever. Steraflex GIO is free from intentionally added photo initiator 379, ensuring it aligns with the current and upcoming requirements under the GIO. This gives printers and brand owners peace of mind when producing packaging for more sensitive applications, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.
Moreover, Steraflex GIO is not just about compliance—it’s about 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 energy substrates, enabling more versatile applications without compromising on print quality or safety.
What are its key features?
- GIO-compliant formulation, aligned with the latest European regulatory requirements
- Free from intentionally added photo initiator 379, supporting safer packaging practices
- Superior adhesion performance on a wide variety of substrates
- Optimized for flexographic printing processes with excellent runnability
- Suitable for food and pharmaceutical packaging
Steraflex GIO reflects Toyo Ink Europe's commitment to sustainable innovation, regulatory foresight, and high-performance printing solutions. Whether you are looking to meet evolving compliance requirements or simply want to enhance your flexo printing capabilities, Steraflex GIO offers a future-proof solution without compromise.
