WrapFest Review
WrapFest unites wrap professionals, enthusiasts, and industry leaders from across Europe
Chris Hooper from WrapWorx won first place in the UK leg of the World Wrap Masters competition
The dedicated event speaker programme allowed visitors to take home fresh insights and real-life stories to help grow their business and improve current skills.
A real buzz Overall, the event definitely had a buzz about it, even more so on the Thursday when celebrity car wrapper Yiannimize made an appearance to host an exclusive Business Surgery Clinic. By signing up, visitors could receive personalised advice and guidance on how to grow their businesses and achieve greater success in the industry. Yiannimize also used the event to
unveil four exclusive colours of Supreme Wrapping Film launched in partnership with Avery Dennison. Taking the unveiling one step further, Yiannimize did not miss the opportunity to showcase his car wrapping capabilities and presented his own Lamborghini wrapped in the colour pearl tutu pink. Yiannimize’s appearance at WrapFest certainly pulled in the crowds. Another highlight of the event was
the UK leg of the prestigious World Wrap Masters competition. Up to 20 of the world's most talented wrappers went head-to-head in a series of rounds designed to test a wrapper’s ability, application techniques, knife or cutting skills and precision, showcasing their expertise across printed media, colour change, and, for the first time, PPF materials. It was Chris Hooper from WrapWorx in the UK who took home the podium spot, the UK title and a place in the World Wrap Masters Final to be held in Germany in May 2025. All-in-all the second WrapFest event
achieved its goal of uniting wrap professionals, enthusiasts, and industry leaders from across Europe. As an event it certainly caters for the specific requirements and interests of this vibrant and growing sector.
