FLAG Membership
Stop Competing Alone.
FLAG gives independent label converters access to the savings, network, and resources that large converters have by default. Without giving up your independence.

Hear It Straight From Members
“Great ideas don't happen in isolation, they happen when the right people come together. Be in the room.”
“I always come back from the FLAG annual meeting with new ideas and excitement for the rest of the year.”
“Connecting with your peers is the key to success. Being reminded that small-midsize label companies can beat the national players is always good encouragement.”
Questions Members Ask First
Do I have to buy exclusively from FLAG Vendor Partners?
No. FLAG doesn't require exclusive buying. We have an open opportunity policy, which gives our Vendor Partners an opportunity to earn your business. The more you participate, the more you save.
Will my invoices change if I join?
No. You keep negotiating your own invoices directly with each Vendor Partner. FLAG never gets in the middle. Incentives stack on top of what you already have.
How much does membership cost?
FLAG has membership dues, and the quarterly incentives from our Vendor Partners are designed to more than cover them. Book a discovery call and the team will walk you through the specific numbers for a shop your size.
Who are FLAG's Vendor Partners?
FLAG has over 50 Vendor Partner programs that cover every part of your shop — substrates, inks and coatings, tool and die, anilox, prepress, pressroom, digital, workflow, overlaminates, ribbons, LTL freight, small-package shipping, credit card processing, healthcare, office supplies and more.
How much of my time does it take?
Very little. Aside from a few ramp-up emails, FLAG works in the background. You run your business day-to-day while each Vendor Partner tracks and reports your purchases quarterly.
