Our Group is the Advantage
Stay Independent.Compete Like You’reTen Times the Size.
FLAG is a buying group for independent label converters across North America. Quarterly incentives through shared buying programs, work you can share across the network, a backup plan when something goes wrong, and people who’ve already solved what you’re dealing with. All without giving up your independence.
Say hello, scroll or move your mouse to start.
Large converters have savings, resources, and a network that comes with their size. Independent shops don’t. Until they join FLAG.
You’re no longer on an island.
