FLAG Prepares 2025 Annual Member Meeting BY GREG KISHBAUGH

Yerecic Label Wins Sustainability Award

Yerecic Label has been awarded the 2024 Calvin Frost Elevation Sustainability Award by TLMI. The award recognizes Yerecic Label as an industry leader in sustainability, highlighting the Pennsylvannia converter’s fully formed and publicly stated sustainability goals, strategies, and executions that are advancing multiple aspects of sustainability.

FLAG (Flexo Label Advantage Group, LLC) will host its 2025 Annual Member Meeting, titled “Power Up”, in Overland Park, Kansas, April 29 – May 1, 2025. This year’s meeting will be hosted by Spectragraphics, a long-standing FLAG Member, and will focus on empowering members with the tools and strategies to drive growth, efficiency, and success.

In line with this achievement, Yerecic Label has announced a formal transition to a wash- away adhesive for appropriate film pressure sensitive label constructions applied to PET that has been formally recognized by the As- sociation of Plastic Recyclers (APR), a change designed to enhance its commitment to sus- tainability and improve the recyclability of food grade PET products.

“Spectragraphics is thrilled to be hosting FLAG’s Annual Meeting in 2025,” said Kevin Briggs, President of Spectragraphics. “We joined FLAG three years ago, and I wish we would have joined sooner. The incentives more than pay for the Membership cost, and the Annual Meeting is completely different from any other association out there. But the most important part of our Membership, in my opinion, is the ability to ask any FLAG Member a question and get a straight answer. I can post a question in the online Member forum, and within an hour, I’ll have 15 responses from other converters giving me recommendations and sharing how they handled the exact situation. I’m in and out of that forum all day—it’s one of the most valuable tools in our industry.” This year’s event promises two new Member Panels: Power Up Sales , focusing on enhancing sales strategies and customer engage- ment and Power Up Efficiency , designed to provide insights on improv- ing operational efficiency and productivity. Highlights of the 2025 meeting will include peer groups and round- table discussions, and tabletops with FLAG Vendor Partners. Spectragraphics, host of next year's FLAG meeting, offers many flexo print- ed label options to its customer base.
