LOUPE India 2026, the 10th edition of the show formerly known as Labelexpo India, takes place from 29 October to 1 November 2026 at India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida (Delhi NCR), and is South Asia’s leading exhibition for label converters, package printers, ink and substrate suppliers, and brand owners.
The event has been rebranded from Labelexpo India to LOUPE India to reflect how converters are moving beyond pressure-sensitive labels into shrink sleeves, pouches, flexible packaging and in-line folding cartons. The organising team and format remain the same, under the global Loupe (formerly Labelexpo) portfolio. Organisers expect more than 250 exhibitors with increased international participation this year. Event listings are available on MeetGrow’s LOUPE India 2026 page.
What to Expect at LOUPE India 2026
The exhibition floor will feature running presses and converting systems across digital, hybrid and conventional (flexo and offset) technologies, alongside films, laminates, label stocks, adhesives, inks, coatings, plates, dies and finishing and embellishment equipment. Workflow, MIS, colour management, inspection and automation suppliers will also be present.
For the ink and coatings segment, the show is a key launch window: Industrial Front has already reported on Flint Group’s plans to showcase new inks at LOUPE India 2026. Expect a strong focus on low-migration and food-safe inks, UV LED curing, water-based systems for flexible packaging, and recyclable mono-material structures.
Organisers have positioned the 2026 edition around “practical routes to diversification”, letting converters compare technologies side by side and speak directly to materials, workflow and finishing specialists. Detailed conference sessions had not been fully announced at the time of writing.
Who Should Attend LOUPE India 2026?
- Label and narrow-web converters evaluating digital or hybrid presses, or adding sleeves, pouches and cartons.

- Ink, coating and adhesive manufacturers meeting converters and distributors.
- FMCG, pharma and personal-care brand owners and packaging buyers looking at shelf impact, SKU proliferation and sustainability.

Why Printing, Ink and Packaging Professionals Shouldn’t Miss This Expo
Growth in FMCG and e-commerce is pushing Indian brands toward faster turnarounds, more SKUs and shorter runs, which favours digital and hybrid printing and puts pressure on conventional converters to automate. At the same time, cost inflation is real: printers in some regions have recently raised prices 15-20% on rising ink and paper costs, making waste reduction and material efficiency a priority.
Sustainability and compliance add another layer. Plastic waste management rules, extended producer responsibility, and brand-owner recyclability targets are driving demand for mono-material laminates, wash-off labels and low-migration ink systems. LOUPE India is the one event in the region where all of these suppliers are under one roof, making it an efficient place to evaluate upgrades.
