LOUPE Americas, formerly Labelexpo Americas, Returns with Focus on Education and Connection

LOUPE Americas 2026, North America’s largest dedicated event for the label and package printing industry, will take place September 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois. With more than 400 exhibitors unveiling new technologies and an expert-led education program, LOUPE Americas 2026 will bring together the full label and package printing value chain – from materials and presses to finishing and automation.

With extended market scope, this year’s show has expanded its reach across the packaging sector – also offering enhanced educational programming. Each day will feature keynote presentations, educational breakout sessions and practical workshops covering a variety of topics, including AI, current market trends, automation, smart packaging, sustainability, workforce development, diversification into flexible packaging and folding cartons, and long-term business planning.

According to Tasha Ventimiglia, Americas group director for LOUPE Global, “For LOUPE Americas 2026, we have magnified our focus on connection and education. From audience-focused meet-ups for women and the next generation of leaders to enhanced workshops and conferences, we are creating opportunities for the industry to network and make connections that truly matter in the Americas market.”
