FLAG Announces 2025 Annual Member Meeting

FLAG (Flexo Label Advantage Group, LLC) has announced its 2025 Annual Member Meeting, titled “Power Up”, April 29 – May 1, 2025 in Overland Park, KS. 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.

Kevin Briggs, President of Spectragraphics and this year's Member host, shared, “Spectragraphics is thrilled to be hosting FLAG’s Annual Meeting in 2025. 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. Aside from being awesome, the meetings are affordable, and informative, and always include a plant tour so we can see what our peers may be doing better. 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. Everyone is just so helpful. I’m in and out of that forum all day—it’s one of the most valuable tools in our industry.”

The FLAG Annual Meeting is a highly anticipated event that brings together independent label converters and Vendor Partners to collaborate, learn, and network. This year’s event promises to be even more impactful with the addition of two new Member Panels: Power Up Sales, focusing on enhancing sales strategies and customer engagement and Power Up Efficiency, designed to provide insights on improving operational efficiency and productivity.

Highlights of the 2025 meeting include peer groups and roundtable discussions, tabletops with FLAG Vendor Partners,and a State of the Industry presentation by industry expert Greg Hrinya, Editor of Label & Narrow Web (L&NW) magazine.

JC McKay, President of FLAG, said, “The 2025 Annual Meeting is all about powering up! We are adding new elements like our Member Panels to give attendees actionable insights they can bring back to their businesses. The FLAG community continues to grow and evolve, and this meeting reflects that evolution.”

FLAG group Members --with an average size of $2 to $40M -- realize the type of benefits usually enjoyed by larger converters. These include bottom-line savings, catastrophic recovery plans, penetrating new markets and application niches, and having access to new resources. In addition to the Annual Meeting, these benefits are delivered through a 24/7 online resource site, quarterly calls, “Lunch and Learns,” FLAG Peer Groups, and much more.
