Informa Markets has announced that registration is open for LOUPE Americas 2026, formerly Labelexpo Americas. The event is set to return to the Chicago area, September 15-17 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

With over 400 exhibitors and a revitalized focus on education, networking and technology showcases, the event reaffirms its position as the largest dedicated label and package printing show in the Americas.

As the first LOUPE event, LOUPE Americas remains focused on the label industry with an expanded scope into mid-web flexible packaging, namely shrink sleeves and pouches, and inline carton converting. Across the show floor, attendees can expect to see innovative technologies driving this expansion, revealing new concepts of application and creativity.

​​​​​​Highlighting this sense of discovery, the theme of the event, “Explore Hidden Depths,” directly captures the experience of exploring these innovations. Attendees are encouraged to navigate the show as if moving through an underwater world – uncovering new technologies and immersing themselves in the evolving landscape of label and package printing.

“LOUPE Americas, formerly Labelexpo Americas, marks a significant step forward as the label industry continues to evolve,” says Tasha Ventimiglia, group director of LOUPE Americas. “Attendees can look forward to enhanced networking opportunities and a refreshed education program designed to deliver meaningful, market-relevant insights. Our goal is to make LOUPE Americas 2026 memorable and valuable, leaving a lasting impact on the industry.”

Katie Chapman, conference manager, LOUPE Americas says, “The refreshed education program for LOUPE Americas demonstrates a forward-looking experience for label and package printing professionals at a time of rapid transformation. With a mixture of breakout sessions and keynote presentations covering topics such as automation, AI, smart packaging, sustainability plus many more, the program will equip attendees with the crucial insights shaping converting businesses today.”

This year, there will be two types of ticket passes to the show. An expo pass will include access to the exhibit floor and all show floor activities across all three days of the event. An education pass will guarantee unlimited access to the exhibit floor and all show floor activities for all three days of the event plus entry to the two-day conference, keynotes and workshops.
