IPW Announces the

FLEXO LABEL ADVANTAGE GROUP

Label Substrate Opportunity

Greetings!

 

Independent Printers Worldwide and the Flexo Label Advantage Group (FLAG) have entered into a strategic  partnership that allows us  to leverage purchasing agreements between our two procurement organizations.

  

As a result, we are pleased to introduce FLAG's FLEXOGRAPHIC SUBSTRATE SUPPLIER AGREEMENT to our IPW members who own Flexographic Equipment and who would benefit by purchasing their label substrate needs through FLAG's national contract.

 

By way of introduction, JOHN MCKAY, President of FLAG will personally reach out to you via telephone to discuss this opportunity with you.

ABOUT FLEXO LABEL ADVANTAGE GROUP

 

IPW announced our buying group strategy at the 2010 Graph Expo Presidents' Conference in Chicago. FLAG was the first print industry buying group to step up to the challenge. IPW & FLAG joined forces under a strategic alliance agreement in fourth quarter 2010. 

 

Read about FLAG in President and Founder, John McKay's, own words below: 

 

"Flexo Label Advantage Group (FLAG) is a buying group for narrow web flexographic label converters. After twenty-five years serving the graphics industry with the Pitman Company, I saw an opportunity for a buying group in the flexo label industry that was already working in other graphic industry segments. As Strategic Development Manager in the National Account Division at Pitman, I helped develop specific programs for such buying groups. In just over one year since I started FLAG, it has established itself with a growing Membership and a National Substrate Vendor which is providing a savings for FLAG Members on label roll stocks; papers & films. "

 

"Now that FLAG & IPW have developed a Strategic Alliance, I would look forward to speaking with any IPW Members who have narrow roll web substrate needs for label printing to see if FLAG can help reduce their substrate costs."

 

"Thanks, John"

If you want to learn about the savings available to you via FLAG's Label Substrate Program, do not hesitate to contact John McKay directly or your IPW representative!
