“Loupe India 2026 signals a significant technology expansion for the Indian label community,” said Andy Thomas Emans, strategic director, Loupe Global. “While label technology remains at the core of Loupe, with significant developments in automation, digital embellishment and sustainability, we are broadening the technology horizon to include short run flexible packaging. This reflects the growing capabilities of flexo and digital to cover not only labels but also adjacent package printing sectors including flexible packaging and folding cartons.”
Andrew Galloway, group director EMEA, Loupe Global, commented, “Labels remain at the core of the show — they are the foundation of Loupe. What’s exciting is the clear momentum we’re now seeing into short run flexible packaging. Many converters are leveraging their label expertise, digital workflows, and embellishment know-how to expand into adjacent applications, while maintaining the quality that defines the label and package printing industry.”
Loupe India 2026 takes place at India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida, Delhi NCR, from 29 October to 1 November 2026.
