Flag offers new member discount at Loupe

Flexo Label Advantage Group (Flag) will exhibit at Loupe Americas 2026 in booth 3004, where the organization will introduce a limited-time new membership opportunity.

Through The Flag Advantage Campaign, new members who join during Loupe Americas, whether attending the show in person or joining remotely, will receive a Loupe Launch Credit of 20 percent off the Flag New Member Initiation Fee.

New members will also receive access to the Flag Advantage Package, featuring introductory opportunities from participating Flag vendor partners through Dec 31, 2026. Each vendor partner will deliver offers that may include introductory discounts, enhanced rebates, free freight, product trials, technical consulting, plant audits, operator training, priority implementation and other value-added services.

'We want independent converters walking away from Loupe excited to maximize the value Flag membership delivers,' said JC McKay, president of Flag. 'The buying power is important, but their Flag Advantage goes much further than savings. Converters are unlocking access to vendor partners who want to help their business succeed, other independent converters who are willing to share what’s working, and resources that can make their company stronger and more profitable. This campaign gives converters an opportunity to experience that value with even more confidence from day one.'

That confidence is backed by the Flag Confidence Guarantee.

'We know the programs work,' McKay said. 'After serving 180+ converters over the last 17 years, and saving our members over 25m USD, we have full confidence that if a member takes advantage of the programs and all the value Flag has to offer, they will undoubtedly see a tremendous ROI. We’re the only organization in the industry that pays our members, if they participate, to be part of the group.'

Any converter that joins Flag at Loupe, meets and participates with Flag vendor partners and does not see an ROI on their membership in their first year will have their 2027 membership dues waived.

The Loupe promotion reflects the broader Flag Advantage available to independent label converters throughout the year. Flag helps its members compete with many of the advantages available to larger organizations while allowing them to remain completely independent.

Through Flag membership, independent converters can grow profits through buying group savings and new label sales opportunities, grow stronger through peer networking and technical and business resources, and protect their businesses through disaster recovery support and programs built specifically around the needs of independent converters.

In addition to its booth at the show, Flag will bring its member community together on Monday, Sept 14, for a members-only roundtable followed by a private dinner. The events will give Flag members dedicated time to connect before the show officially gets underway. Members should register on Member Connections.

Independent converters do not need to attend Loupe Americas in person to take advantage of the campaign.
