Women In Print Alliance Offering Exclusive Member Benefits Women in Print Alliance is championing the women trans- forming the printing industry through initiatives that ex- tend beyond Women’s History Month this March. A part of PRINTING United Alliance, Women in Print Alliance is rooted in a commitment to leadership, innovation, and meaningful collaboration. These efforts are designed to empower women at ev- ery stage of their careers and advance a more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive print community. All month long, content highlighting women in the in- dustry will be featured across Women in Print Alliance channels, PRINTING United Alliance channels, and Alli- ance media brand channels, including 22 episodes of the Her Imprint podcast, presented by Women in Print Alli- ance, which celebrates and elevates the voices of women transforming print. “Women in print are doing more than preserving history and tradition in print – they’re reimagining it,” says Lisbeth Lyons Black, director, Women in Print Alliance. “Across our industry, women are leading the charge to create an in- dustry that is sustainable and resilient. Whether their roles are environmental, educational, or economic, they’re cel- ebrating the past while also laying the groundwork for a thriving, viable – and, yes, more inclusive – industry, and

building a better tomorrow for print.” In 2026, Women in Print Alliance will offer even more ways for women in the industry to connect, including re- gional meetups in select cities, a special program ahead of the Alliance’s Fly-In event in Washington, DC, new commu- nity forums, and the annual Women in Print Luncheon at PRINTING United Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada. This year’s luncheon will be held on September 24, featuring keynote speaker Corrie Lo on “The Five Overwhelm Culprits.” FINAT Empowers Label Industry With PCF Workshop Series FINAT concluded a series of four workshops dedicated to establishing a reliable, harmonized industry approach to Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) calculation for self-adhesive label laminates and printed labels. Nearly 90 participants from 70 organizations across the value chain attended. Participation included labelstock producers, convert- ers, suppliers, and brand-facing stakeholders. FINAT’s objective is to develop a robust, cradle-to-gate PCF methodology that ensures consistency and credibility in carbon footprint calculations for labels. The program was delivered with the support of Sphera, experts in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), ensuring methodological robustness and alignment with recog- nized standards.
