FESPA Launches Wrap Fest, a New Event Dedicated Exclusively to Vehicle Wrapping & Vinyl Installation in April 2023
13 June 2022: FESPA is launching Wrap Fest, a brand-new event dedicated exclusively to vehicle wrapping, vinyl installation and detailing. The event will run for the first time from 26-27 April 2023 at the Silverstone racing circuit, Northamptonshire, UK, the iconic home of the British Grand Prix.
Wrap Fest will welcome professionals in vehicle wrapping, livery and fleet graphics, car detailing, protection and tinting services, racing teams and automotive professionals, as well as printers and sign-makers who are looking to grow revenue from vehicle wraps, and those active in architectural interiors and signage.
The launch event will feature an exhibition, educational conference, hands-on training sessions and workshops, plus a new regional UK & Ireland World Wrap Masters competition. The exhibition will occupy Halls 1 and 2 of the new Silverstone Wing, where prominent global brands will showcase their latest innovations for custom vehicle wrapping and detailing, including decorative and paint protection films, window tints, digital printing and laminating equipment, vinyl cutting and finishing, design software, cleaning products, and accessories and tools.
Across the two-day event, a maximum of 36 wrappers will compete in a series of timed wrapping competitions for the new regional UK & Ireland World Wrap Masters regional heat. The winner will then go on to compete in the popular World Wrap Masters final at FESPA Global Print Expo 2023 in Munich, Germany (23-26 May 2023).
Ole Solskin Ravn, Head Judge, World Wrap Masters Series comments on the value of the Wrap Fest event for the community, “The vehicle wrapping and detailing market is thriving and more professionals are specialising in or expanding into this market. There are so many components to consider when wrapping a car, interior surface or object and there isn’t currently an event that enables professionals to connect with suppliers and see multiple solutions under one roof.”
