Toni Printing Group Engages in a Green Initiative

The EcoSign Toni Printing Group has recently entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Public Corporation for the 2027 International Horticultural Expo. This collaboration will see the group provide its innovative indoor advertising banners, known as LUFAS®, to the upcoming event. The product has been recognized for its exceptional environmental credentials, utilizing 100% recycled PET fabric.

Set to take place from March 19 to September 26, 2027, the international horticultural expo, themed "Creating Tomorrow's Landscape of Happiness", will be held at the former U.S. military base in Kamiseya, Yokohama. This will be Japan's first A1-class international horticultural exhibition since the 1990 International Flower and Greenary Expo in Osaka. The expo will feature a sprawling 100-hectare site filled with various global garden displays, cutting-edge green transformation technologies, and immersive food and agricultural experiences.

The EcoSign Toni Printing Group consists of three companies: Toni Printing Co., Ltd. (Headquartered in Tokyo's Koto Ward, led by President Mitsuaki Nishikawa), Try Co., Ltd. (also in Tokyo, led by President Hideo Katanaga), and Ageless Holdings Co., Ltd. (based in Naka Ward, Yokohama, headed by President Kentaro Rokuzaki). The partnership aligns with the expo's philosophy and aims to contribute to a sustainable society through high-performing environmental solutions. The Toni Printing Group will be supplying four mobile LUFAS units for indoor advertising at the expo.

LUFAS®: Pioneering Sustainability in Advertising

LUFAS® represents the next generation of fabric signage, designed with a focus on environmental sustainability, fire resistance, and cost-efficiency.

It utilizes 100% recycled PET fabric and meets several high safety and environmental standards, including:

• - The only fabric signage in Japan with an Eco Mark certification.
• - Certified as fire-retardant and compliant with European safety standards (Ökotex Class II).
• - Earned GRS certification (Global Recycle Standard).
• - Involves carbon offset initiatives through afforestation activities by the fabric manufacturer.

Moreover, LUFAS® fabric can be compactly folded for transportation, resulting in lower CO2 emissions and reduced shipping costs.
