This campaign gives new Members an opportunity to join our community and start seeing the benefits right away.” FLAG Members gain immediate access to quarterly rebate opportunities through 50+ Vendor Partner programs, peer group mem- bership, technical and business resources in- cluding our catalog of Lunch & Learn trainings, catastrophic planning support, and new-label sales growth opportunities.
The partnership between LOUPE Americas 2026 and the ambas- sadors is designed to bring focused expertise and technical insight covering mid-web flexible packaging, inline carton converting, sustain- ability, label market intelligence, and the next generation of industry leaders. Through educational sessions and industry engagement, the am- bassadors will provide attendees with practical insight into the trends, challenges and opportunities influencing the sector’s future.
