[Chicago,10 June 26] LOUPE Americas (formerly Labelexpo Americas) is part of a powerful portfolio: LOUPE Global (formerly Labelexpo Global Series). LOUPE is the global platform for the label and package printing industries, connecting business professionals in labels, flexible packaging, more specifically shrink sleeves and pouches, and in-line folding carton converting. The Americas iteration will return to Chicago from 15 – 17 September at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont. Here, Tasha Ventimiglia, LOUPE’s Group Director, Americas, brings us on a 25-year journey from when she first stepped into an event to her views on what the future holds.

 

 

Late 80s, the early days

The origins of LOUPE Americas trace back to 1989, when the first Labelexpo Americas—then called Labelexpo USA—was launched in Rosemont. With around 60 exhibitors occupying a section of Hall A, the event was born out of the label sector’s need for a dedicated platform, as it felt overshadowed by general printing shows of the time. This marked the beginning of the “Labelexpo” family, a specialized event that has since grown into a cornerstone of the label and packaging industry.

 

My journey began in June 2001. Even though I had been working behind the scenes on our event for over a year, to be completely honest, I had no idea what the event really was until I walked onto our show floor for the first time in 2002. I vividly remember being completely blown away by the scale and innovation shown at the event, and thinking “OK, now I get it – this industry is huge!” It was eye-opening to see the complexity behind printing a label. The 2002 event buzzed with discussions about the beginnings of e-commerce, in-mold technology, advancements in digital printing, and the ability to print on multiple substrates. It was a stunning introduction to an industry that thrives on innovation.

 

The team making it big today

Fast forward to today, and the event has evolved significantly. The equipment is faster, more efficient, and of higher quality. Sustainability has become a priority, and automation and smart technologies are now integral to suppliers’ offerings. The industry’s rapid changes are driven by brand-level demands, such as the need for sustainability, SKU proliferation, and the importance of brands differentiating from each other through advancements in embellishment technology. The event has also expanded its global reach over the years, bolstered by initiatives such as the launch of our Label Summits, which debuted in Mexico City in 2004 and have since extended across South America.

 

What makes LOUPE Americas extraordinary is the dedicated team behind the scenes. With many team members having over 15 years of experience and newer additions bringing fresh energy and valuable contributions, we’ve cultivated a close-knit, family-like environment.

 

Our operations team works tirelessly behind the scenes to make certain that our events run smoothly. They are the first to arrive and the last to leave at our events, ensuring every detail is perfect. Our sales team plays a crucial role in understanding clients’ needs and helping them grow their businesses. The marketing team ensures our messaging connects effectively with all attendee personas, while actively managing our websites, social media campaigns, and partnerships. Meanwhile, the education team curates cutting-edge content and trends, transforming the event into a premier hub for learning and industry growth. The Labels & Labeling team is our voice of the industry. Our editors are constantly traveling to industry events and meeting with our converter and suppliers to understand what’s trending and where the future is heading.

 

This year, LOUPE Americas is not just about showcasing the latest in labels, flexible packaging (specifically shrink and pouches), and short run, in-line folding cartons; it’s about fostering community and connection. We’re introducing initiatives like a fun run/walk, relevant educational sessions, and networking opportunities to bring like-minded industry professionals together. Our goal is to make LOUPE a place where the industry gathers to learn, connect, and grow every two years.

 

Looking to the future

Reflecting on my 25-year journey, I feel incredibly fortunate to have found this industry and job. The welcoming nature of the community has allowed me to build lifelong friendships, learn invaluable lessons about business and relationships, and grow both personally and professionally.

 

I’m particularly inspired by the future of the industry. The passionate and intelligent leaders joining the field, the bright college students eager to make their mark, and the increasing presence of women in leadership roles are all signs of a promising future. I’m excited to see what’s next for LOUPE Americas and the industry.

 

As LOUPE Americas continues to grow, I can’t wait to witness the innovations, connections, and transformations that lie ahead. This event is more than a trade show—it’s a celebration of an industry that thrives on creativity, collaboration, and progress. Here’s to the future of LOUPE Americas and the label and packaging industry!

 

 

About LOUPE Americas 

LOUPE Americas, formerly Labelexpo Americas, is part of LOUPE Global – the hub for package printing and converting.

The biennial show is the largest dedicated label and package printing event in the Americas. Its previous edition in 2024 attracted over 450 exhibitors and 12,000 visitors from 73 countries.

The Smart Label Packaging Division, set to launch in late April 2026, represents Flash4’s forward-thinking commitment to addressing the evolving demands of mass shipping dependency. Anchored by state-of-the-art equipment— including the HP Indigo V12 for high-speed, vibrant, premium quality long run digital printing, ABG automated finishing systems for precision and efficiency, and a phased rollout of RFID inlay application and encoding —the division transforms traditional labels into intelligent, data-enabled infrastructure.

This platform empowers customers to:

• Reduce lead times and eliminate inefficiencies through digital-first production

This positions us—and our customers—to lead in a future where packaging is intelligent, connected, and essential to business performance.”

 

With this investment, FLASH4 is setting a new benchmark for innovation in label production— bridging the gap between print, data, and automation to deliver unmatched value in a rapidly changing market.

Los Angeles, CA – When Pat Wafer and Ryder Fyrwald purchased the company in 2018, it was known as Alros Label, a trusted name serving customers for over 35 years. They made the decision to keep every single employee on the team, honoring the decades of craftsmanship, experience, and customer relationships they had built. While two of those original team members have since retired, their legacy still shapes their culture today. Five years ago, they changed the name to Cover Label – a name that better reflects what they do and what they stand for: covering products, and bringing labels & packaging into the 21^st century.

 

 

In transitioning the company to that next chapter, Cover Label added digital printing as a key component to grow the business and selected Domino.  It began in 2019. First, with the installation of the Domino N610i digital UV inkjet press at the end of that year, and then transitioning in 2025 to the Domino N730i.

 

We caught up with Co-CEOs Pat Wafer and Ryder Fyrwald to learn more about their business… from the past to the present, and their journey with Domino along the way.

 

Our visit was captured in this VIDEO: Cover Label & Domino.

 

Pat begins, “In this business, you’re selling somewhat of a commodity, and so you have to stand out somewhere, and one of the ways we do that with customers is a mix of lead time and customer service.”

 

Ryder adds, “By offering this really good customer service and lead time, they give us that next order and that next order, and that’s something that’s really been a differentiator for us in this space.”

 

From Tech Backgrounds to Label Innovation

“Back in 2018, both of us had come from working in grueling VC-backed tech companies, and we knew we wanted to go and do something on our own,” says Ryder. “And we ended up finding this business called Alros Label. When we got in there, we realized we didn’t have the right technology to really be able to grow the business the way that we wanted it.”

 

That realization led to a pivotal investment decision.  “So, we actually debated…do we go get a big flexo press, or do we go get a digital press?” Pat explains. “And we ended up landing on the Domino, and it allowed us to comfortably step into the digital world. Immediately, we started closing multiple deals that were in our pipeline.”

 

Scaling Capacity, Quality, & Productivity with Domino

“A year and a half ago or so, we still had the same Domino that we originally bought, and we were getting a little bit constrained by capacity,” says Ryder. “And Domino came in and basically offered an option for us to trade-in our original machine for the new machine. And it’s been off to the races ever since.”

 

For Jose Casian, General Manager at Cover Label, upgrading to the Domino N730i was a significant milestone.  “I can tell you, I was very excited with going to the N730i, because I really wanted that 1200 DPI. Everybody understands… before productivity, there’s got to be quality. And this press has been able to give us both. It has been able to give us good quality and the productivity that we’re looking for. The N610i was great, and it ran really well. But moving to the N730i, it actually changed everything.”

 

Pat notes that coming from a technology background made the transition to digital even more compelling.

 

“Coming from a tech background, when we bought the first Domino, we learned that these digital presses are much easier to learn. As we’re getting busier, the more jobs we can move from flexo to digital, the easier it is for us to hire and keep up with demand. And so, we see that as a huge advantage.”

 

On the production floor, the benefits of the new press are immediately visible to Michael Trinidad, a press operator at Cover Label. He describes the new Domino N730i. “It has some cool features, including a priming station, the ability to print in seven colors, a varnish station, and a camera for inspecting the labels. The benefit of using this press is the 1200 DPI. It’s great for labels on small products.”

  

Expanding Markets and Capabilities

With enhanced digital capabilities, Cover Label continues expanding into new markets. “We still do a lot of cosmetics labels,” Ryder says. “We’ve really tried to expand our offering and try to get into a lot of consumer-packaged goods. We do a lot of food and beverage. And then we’re really starting to grow more in the pharmaceutical space. We are ISO compliant, working to be ISO certified, which is a really compelling thing for pharmaceutical companies that need that type of certification.”

 

The company is also investing in emerging smart label technology.  “We have a customer right now that wants to do smart labels, and we’re investing in RFID and NFC chips,” says Pat. “So, customers see that we’re willing to invest, and I think that goes a long way.”

 

At the same time, flexibility remains a core strength. “Because we have digital and flexographic technology, we can do short run stuff,” Ryder explains. “So, if you’re just starting out and you need 500 labels, we can do that. As you grow, you need 1,000, 5,000, 100,000, even up to a million, 10 million. We can satisfy all of those requirements, and we can really be a partner with you as you grow.”

 

Strong ROI and Production Gains

The investment in Domino technology has delivered measurable returns.  “From an ROI perspective, there’s a lot of different areas where it helps,” Pat says. “Right away, you’re doubling your capabilities and your production speed. We’re getting twice as many labels out in one shift. I think that goes a long way.”

 

The Domino Difference: Partnership and Reliability

For Cover Label, the relationship with Domino extends beyond equipment.  “The Domino difference to us is having a partner in one of our suppliers.” Ryder says. “There was a level of familiarity and comfort in working with Domino. We’ve had several years of experience with them. I cannot state enough how good their service is. Without that service, I don’t really know where we’d be.”

 

Pat reinforces the importance of that support.  “Yeah, just to stress what Ryder said, being comfortable with the customer service is huge. Knowing that if something goes wrong, we have the Domino team behind us that we already have worked with for several years, it’s a big deal.”

 

And in a highly competitive environment, uptime is critical.  “We can’t be down for three weeks. Our customers will go elsewhere,” Ryder says. “There are 100 other, 200 other label companies in L.A alone. They can go to other places. So having a reliable machine that runs, that spits out the same quality label that we can rely on… we wouldn’t be where we are today, our company would not be the size that it is, without having a Domino press in place for the last five years.”

 

By combining service, speed, quality and trusted partnership, Cover Label continues to differentiate itself … earning that “next order and that next order” while building long-term customer relationships.

Cleveland, OH – OMNI Systems, a leading provider of high-quality labels for the logistics, food, and consumer packaged goods industries, recently described its journey in digital printing through its ongoing partnership with Domino. With the acquisition of multiple Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printers over the past several years, OMNI Systems continues to drive efficiency, precision, and scalability in label production.

 

OMNI Systems is the largest privately owned label maker in America.  Along with the corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio they also have facilities in Cincinnati, St. Louis, and Kansas City, Kansas.  The plant in Cleveland is their largest at 144,000 square feet with 33 production lines.  With over 300 employees they continue to grow every year, and their goal is to be carbon neutral by 2030.

 

The company now operates three Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printers at its Cleveland, Ohio facility — two 22-inch dual-bar units and one 17-inch single-bar unit — enhancing its ability to produce high-quality variable data and sequential barcoded labels at greater speeds and volumes.

 

We sat down with OMNI Systems’ President Mike Murton, and Chief Financial Officer Dave Campbell, to learn more about OMNI’s business, their goals for the future, and how partnering with Domino is strategic in achieving those goals.  Over visit was captured in this VIDEO: OMNI Systems & Domino

 

Growth Strategy

“In the fall of 2022, OMNI kicked off a growth strategy to triple the size of the organization in the next seven years. That growth is going to be a mix of both organic growth and acquisitive growth, and Domino is definitely going to be a partner that we’re going to bring along for that growth strategy,” says Murton, who joined the organization in the summer of 2019.

 

Murton continues, “OMNI’s culture is really driven by continuous improvement… really driving autonomy, giving people space to do their roles, really empowering our employees to go out and make decisions that drive change, and that make a daily impact for the company.”

 

Partnership 

As OMNI Systems looks to bring in new equipment to support their operations, they rely on long-term partnerships developed with suppliers. By partnering with Domino, they’ve dedicated three production lines to Domino K600i digital UV inkjet printers which produce eight million labels a day at their Cleveland facility.

 

“Speed and efficiency today are more important than ever. The Domino equipment and reliability allow us to take that speed and efficiency, and give it back to our customers and drive the savings that they look for year over year,” adds Murton.  “We can run 24 hours, five days a week with no downtime. And that will be important for the GS1 Sunrise initiative, which will ensure consumers are receiving the proper product information. And OMNI is confident that Domino is going to be there to support us through that change, not only supporting our current customer base, but allowing us to go out and attract new customers with the changes.”

 

The Domino Difference

When asked if there is a ‘Domino difference’, Murton speaks of a partnership aligned with OMNI Systems’ goals and objectives.

 

“OMNI feels the Domino difference in a number of different ways.  If it’s a level of support that we need when something does come up and we reach out to their tech support… if it’s the level of reliability that we get from their equipment which allows us to keep the uptime and the throughput going with our presses…and it’s even with the way that they’re pushing the boundaries of technology, looking for ways to make digital print better, more efficient. It supports us in our initiative to provide the highest quality labels at the lowest prices.”

 

CFO Dave Campbell reinforces that key point. “As we buy equipment, we’re very keen on understanding what the return on investment is on that equipment. Domino has helped us to drive productivity, which saves money, and ultimately allows us to turn that around to the customers, helping us to provide the highest quality labels at the lowest prices.  Thanks, Domino!”

 

And Murton concludes, “From the OMNI Systems family…Thanks, Domino.”
