About
LOUPE Americas, formerly Labelexpo Americas, traces its origins to 1989, when the first Labelexpo USA launched in Rosemont with about 60 exhibitors in a section of Hall A. The event is organized by Tarsus Group in partnership with TLMI, the label and package printing industry association. The 2026 edition returned to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois, the same venue used for the 2022 edition.

LOUPE Americas 2026 was held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.
LOUPE Americas draws innovators, creators, and decision-makers across the package printing value chain, including printers and converters of labels.
The 2024 edition drew 12,215 attendees, and the 2022 edition drew more than 13,500 attendees from 77 countries.
LOUPE Americas 2026 was billed as hosting more than 400 exhibitors, making it the largest dedicated label and package printing show in the Americas. The 2024 edition occupied 17,187 square meters of exhibition space.
It is most useful for label converters and package printers who want to see equipment and suppliers in one place, since the show listed more than 400 exhibitors and its predecessor drew 12,215 attendees in 2024. The Education pass added a two-day conference with converter and manufacturing sessions featuring TLMI and Hub Labels speakers, which helps owners and managers; buyers outside label and package printing, or those needing only a quick look, may find the conference of limited use.
Attendees at print and packaging trade shows usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a polo or button-down shirt with company branding, and comfortable shoes matter on a large convention center floor.
