In addition to all of these live demonstrations and educational opportunities, the UK leg of the prestigious World Wrap Masters competition will also take centre stage. Up to 20 of the world’s most talented wrappers will go head-to-head in a series of rounds which are all designed to showcase 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.

To be within a chance of winning, and qualifying for the World Wrap Masters final, held at the FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 in Berlin, entrants will have to impress the judges. With a judging panel comprising industry luminaries Ole Solskin, Kiss Lajos, and Ivan Tenchev this promises to be a riveting spectacle for all who attend.

Duncan MacOwan, head of marketing and events at FESPA, said: “WrapFest is tailor-made for the vibrant and diverse wrapping community. We’ve curated an experience that caters to everyone, from seasoned professionals to curious newcomers, with live demonstrations, expert Q&As, and exhilarating competitions. The incredible growth of this industry over the past two decades demands a dedicated platform, and we’re thrilled to bring together the leading names in the field to push the boundaries of creativity and innovation. We can’t wait to see the entire wrapping community converge at Silverstone this October for an unforgettable celebration of this unique craft.”
