Event | Review Yianni Charalambous pictured with his Lamborghini This included the first UK showing of Epson’s strategic
entry into the DTF market with the introduction of the SC-G6000 and the launch of Roland DG’s TY-300 DTF production transfer printer.
EXHIBITOR FEEDBACK This year’s exhibitors had nothing but praise for Sign & Digital UK, with Katie Farr, marketing and communications manager at Antalis, commenting: “It’s been great to be back at Sign & Digital UK this year! From collaborating with industry partners, taking part in the panel discussions, to meeting new businesses looking for material solutions, the show was vibrant, educational, and a great platform for us to share our products, services, and expertise.” While Chris Bailey, managing director of Quality Print
Services, added: “The show proved to be a success for us as we drummed up plenty of interest in the products we had on display throughout Sign & Digital UK 2025.”
YIANNIMIZE PRAISES SDUK Perhaps the main highlight during the exhibition was the special guest appearance by YouTube sensation and celebrity car wrapper Yianni Charalambous, CEO of Yiannimize. Visitors on the Monday were provided with an insight into the man himself and his successful business as he took to The Explains Lounge stage to be interviewed by Jack Gocher, editor of Eye on Display. Yianni also bought along his very own stunning Lamborghini Revuelto, which certainly drew in the crowds and provided an excellent photo op for visitors. Speaking after the event, Yianni said: “What a great
day I had at Sign & Digital UK. I met so many people and had some really cool and interesting conversations. I really enjoyed judging the Hexis Wrap Battle daily final and being witness to the talent and skills the vehicle wrappers were showcasing as they battled to win a spot in the Grand Final. “Being asked to share insight into Yiannimize and the car wrapping industry as a whole was an honour and it was great that The Explains Lounge audience was as engaged as it was. My Lamborghini Revuelto also created a buzz among the visitors! Thanks so much for letting me be a part of such a thriving event!”
HEXIS WRAP BATTLE After an intense three days of battling, the winner of the Hexis Wrap Battle was crowned on Tuesday, February 25. 2023 winner, Chris Hooper of Wrapworx Devon retained his crown as he won first place and took home a prize of £1,000 worth of Hexis brand products. Chris demonstrated incredible skill, speed, and precision, proving once again why he’s at the top of the game.
Runner up on the day was Chris Edwards of CVI Group and coming in third was Oleg Sozonenko of Silverstone Wraps.
Competitors in the daily final on Monday were in
for surprise as their skills were judged by Yianni. The guest judge offered his expertise and provided running commentary of the 10-minute showdown, before selecting a wildcard entry for the Grand Final on Tuesday. After such a successful second co-location, both Sign & Digital UK and Printwear & Promotion LIVE! will return to the NEC in Birmingham in February 2026.
