Flexo Label Advantage Group (FLAG) invited members to join the July Lunch & Learn, Estimate Smarter: Unlocking Profitability in Every Job, which took place Thursday, July 24 at 2:00 PM EST.

This virtual event featured industry veteran Steve Miller, president of Proven Solutions Consulting, who will share insights gained from over 20 years of working with label converters on the front lines of estimating and pricing.

Attendees came away with strategies to improve accuracy, understand margin ratios, and drive better decisions that directly impact the bottom line. Key topics included:

• Deep dive into the estimating process (costs, equipment rates, markups vs. margins)
• Dollars vs. percentages in estimating
• Tracking estimates vs. actuals
• What management should be reviewing, and why

“This Lunch & Learn hits one of the biggest challenges our members face, how to price with confidence in a highly competitive market,” says JC McKay, president of FLAG. “Steve brings an experience-backed approach that will help our members gain control over their estimating process and uncover new paths to profitability.”

The session was open exclusively to FLAG members and was part of FLAG’s ongoing commitment to provide tools, education, and resources that empower independent label converters to compete at the highest level, without giving up their independence.
