The three‑day LOUPE Americas 2026 (formerly Labelexpo Americas) has successfully concluded at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago, USA. As North America’s premier professional exhibition for label and flexible packaging printing, this event brought together more than 450 industry enterprises worldwide, with visitor attendance hitting a new historic high. Centering on cutting‑edge trends of green printing, digitalization and functional packaging, it has built a high‑efficiency platform for connection across North America’s printing and packaging industrial chain.

BIC‑Group’s overseas sales team traveled all the way to Chicago, USA, making a high‑profile appearance with its full portfolio of high‑end ink systems. It showcased innovative products compatible with diverse substrates and multiple printing processes, including flexography, offset printing, screen printing, gravure printing, digital inkjet printing and emboss varnishing. Boasting eco‑friendly formulations, stable performance, comprehensive product portfolio and strong end‑to‑end service capabilities, the BIC booth drew large crowds of North‑American industry visitors for in‑depth exchanges, making BIC one of the most‑noticed Chinese exhibitors on‑site.

The exhibited products closely follow the green, high‑efficiency and functional development trends of the North‑American market. Star offerings including UV‑LED low‑migration flexo inks, UV‑LED digital inkjet inks, UV tactile special‑effect varnishes, low‑VOC low‑odor light‑fast UV inks, UV embossing varnishes, tobacco‑packaging‑special UV overprint varnishes, water‑based inks and specialty inks were all on full display, fully demonstrating BIC‑Group’s R&D heritage and technical strengths in UV functional inks.

The exhibition featured vibrant on‑site communications. The team hosted printing converters, flexible‑packaging manufacturers, label producers, distributors and end‑user brand owners from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Latin America. In response to market demands in North America such as increasingly stringent environmental regulations, special‑substrate adaptability, and production‑line efficiency improvement & cost reduction, the BIC team delivered integrated customized solutions covering product selection, process adjustment and sample follow‑up based on customers’ actual production‑line conditions. Numerous cooperation intentions were secured, earning full recognition and solid reputation from overseas clients.

The North‑American label and flexible‑packaging market keeps evolving, with continuously rising environmental‑control standards. Low‑migration, low‑odor and high‑performance printing consumables have become market necessities. BIC‑Group continuously identifies real‑world production pain points in the North‑American market, iterates and optimizes formulations, develops inks tailored for local equipment and various substrates, improves its overseas technical‑service system, and delivers reliable supply‑chain support for global customers.
