The European Wrap Star comes to Düsseldorf: Like two years ago, this year's viscom düsseldorf will again feature the European competition for the best wrapping pro. At the International Trade Fair for Visual Communication, Technology and Design, the car wrapping specialists will again demonstrate their skills. Top contenders will come from all parts of Europe to compete for the title of "European Wrap Star 2011".
Customised car design using adhesive film is very much the trend. In combination with modern digital printing technologies, there are practically no limits to the colour range and film design and, as a result, to the design of cars, bikes and even planes and boats; craftsmanship of the highest quality is a point of honour. This is precisely what the participants of the European Wrap Stars will demonstrate at viscom. The trade fair and the competition will take place from 13 to 15 October in Düsseldorf.
The main sponsor is 3M Deutschland GmbH. The company supplies the films and also takes up the car wrapping theme at its stand. The main prizes will be supplied by Seiko and Mimaki. There is also much common ground with other viscom exhibitors. The theme fits in very well with the trade fair portfolio which features themes like large format printing, production, finishing and adhesive techniques.
Five rounds to victory
From the starting signal on the first day of the fair to the grand finale on Saturday 15 October the competitors will be wrapping for all they're worth in Hall 8b of the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre: In four rounds participants will compete against each other. Several Audi A1 vehicles will be wrapped.
On Thursday 13 October 2011 the European Wrap Star will start with eight first-round matches of 30 minutes each, the best four contenders will reach the next round.
