For some, FTA feels like a familiar gathering place. It is where colleagues become friends, questions lead to useful conversations, and people who understand the challenges of flexography help one another move forward. For others, that connection is waiting to be made.

Beginning January 1, 2027, FTA’s new corporate membership structure will make room for more people within every member company to find their place.

Previously, membership was tied to individual locations, with benefits available to a limited number of employees. Under the new structure, a single corporate membership will extend benefits to every employee throughout the organization. Annual dues will be based on revenue attributable to flexographic operations.

The purpose is straightforward: to help more people connect with the resources, relationships, and opportunities their company’s membership provides.

That could mean a newer employee building a foundation through complimentary, on-demand Flexo Fundamentals training. It could mean an experienced professional seeking technical support, a manager exploring education for their team, or a colleague finding community through Women of Flexo or LIFT. As FTA expands offerings for people across the company, more employees will have opportunities to participate and contribute.

Members will also have access to resources such as FLEXO Magazine, industry connections, and member pricing on education, events, and awards. With access extending across the organization, companies can involve more of their teams in the experiences most relevant to their work.

For longtime members, this is an invitation to open the door to colleagues who may never have participated before. For companies that have stepped away, it is an opportunity to take another look at where FTA can support their people and goals.

As the transition approaches, member companies are asked to update their annual flexographic revenue information through the member portal. The new structure will apply as memberships come up for renewal beginning in January 2027, and FTA staff are available to help companies understand the changes and prepare their teams.

Whether you have stayed closely involved or have been away for a while, there is a place for you here. And now, there is room for your whole team.

Welcome home to FTA.
