tinue without disruption throughout the restructuring process. The company has secured $250 million in debt- or-in-possession financing to support ongoing operations and working capital needs. According to MCC, this funding will allow the company to maintain normal business activ- ity, including paying employees, suppliers, and vendors, and fulfilling customer commitments. The company plans to seek court approval to continue wages and benefits, honor vendor agreements, and maintain day-to-day oper- ations as the restructuring moves forward. LPC Releases Inaugural Trendline Report For NA Label Converters Printed packaging industry market research firm LPC, Inc. has released its inaugural LPC Trendline report, a research initiative designed to capture converter perspectives and emerging trends shaping the North American label indus- try in the year ahead. Based on survey responses and in-depth conver- sations with more than 70 narrow web label converters across the US and Canada, LPC Trendline offers a look at how converters are approaching capital investment, labor challenges, customer expectations, and technology adop- tion as they enter 2026. LPC Trendline was created to reflect the real-world decision-making happening on converters’ production floors today. The findings point to a market that remains active and adaptive, but more discerning when it comes to equipment acquisitions and new systems integration. Con- verters are still investing, but with far more scrutiny and tighter ROI expectations. There is a stronger emphasis on automation that adds to the bottom line, operational effi- ciency gains, and workforce solutions that reduce reliance on hard-to-find labor. A key component of the research focused on differ- ences by converter size. While many pressures are shared across the industry, LPC Trendline highlights distinct con- trasts between small to mid-sized converters and large multi-site organizations, particularly around labor strate- gies, packaging buyer demands, supply chain transparen- cy, and CAPEX planning. To ensure strong participation from smaller and mid- sized converters, LPC partnered with Flexo Label Advan- tage Group (FLAG) as part of the research process. FLAG played an instrumental role in facilitating outreach, gather- ing feedback, and enabling candid conversations with its converter members. The inaugural LPC Trendline report is available now and will be updated annually as LPC continues its research and converter outreach efforts.
