From January 2026, Labelexpo Global Series becomes LOUPE Global – expanding its focus to include flexible packaging, folding cartons, and converting, while remaining the global home of the label industry.LOUPE stands for Labels & OUter Packaging Embellishment. Like the precision tool that inspired its name, it represents craftsmanship, clarity, and attention to detail – magnifying the excellence of our industry and its future.
The change reflects what’s already happening in the market: 45% of exhibitors at Labelexpo Europe 2025 also sell to flexible packaging converters while 40% of visitors to Labelexpo Europe 2023 registered interest in flexible packaging alongside labels.
LOUPE gives this evolution a name – creating a platform that captures the entire value chain of label, package printing and converting, delivering opportunities and growth for your business.
The first event under this banner will be LOUPE Americas 2026, taking place in Chicago next September.
