Flex pack unpacked at Loupe India 2026

As flexible packaging continues to create new opportunities across the labels and packaging industry, label converters are increasingly exploring ways to add new revenue streams to their businesses, expand their capabilities and respond to changing brand requirements.  

Loupe India 2026 brings together perspectives from leading brands, converters and industry media for the educational panel session ‘Flex Pack Unpacked: Brands and Converters Talk Flexible Packaging’. The session will examine the opportunities, challenges and practical considerations involved in adding a new product segment like flexible packaging for label converters. 

Scheduled for October 30, 2026, from 12-2PM, the session will take place at the New Banquet Hall, Expo Inn Suites & Convention, Greater Noida. 

The session will feature insights from Chelsea McDougall, managing editor, Labels & Labeling; Anil Namugade, founder and director, Trigon Digipack; Jyotsna Tripathi, cluster packaging head, SoA, Reckitt; Biswajit Basu, senior manager packaging development, Nestlé South Asia and Priyesh Dalmia, co-founder and CEO of Spectalpack. Together, the speakers will bring perspectives from across the packaging value chain, exploring how converters can position themselves for growth while meeting the evolving needs of brand owners. 

Flexible packaging offers a significant diversification opportunity for label converters and packaging printers looking to unlock new revenue streams. However, entering the segment involves more than expanding a product portfolio. It requires careful consideration of technology, equipment investments, production capabilities, quality requirements and the commercial realities of serving a new market. 

The session will open with Chelsea McDougall sharing insights into global flexible packaging trends, setting the context for a discussion on the forces shaping the market and the opportunities emerging for converters. 

At the heart of the session will be a panel discussion featuring Anil Namugade of Trigon Digipack, Jyotsna Tripathi of Reckitt, Biswajit Basu of Nestlé South Asia and Priyesh Dalmia, co-founder and CEO of Spectalpack alongside Chelsea McDougall of Labels & Labeling moderating the discussion. 

A central theme of the session will be the relationship between packaging suppliers and the brands they serve. As converters expand into flexible packaging, understanding how brand owners evaluate suppliers will be essential to building sustainable business partnerships. 

Designed for label converters, packaging printers and print business leaders, the session aims to provide actionable perspectives for businesses considering adding a new product segment. Attendees will gain insights into potential growth opportunities, the investments and capabilities required to enter flexible packaging, and the expectations that shape relationships between brands and converters. 

The program will conclude with a networking lunch, giving participants a chance to exchange ideas and connect with industry peers. Visit here to RSVP and for more information on the session.
