FESPA puts race car under wraps in creative competition
FESPA is giving its 2017’s World Wrap Masters the opportunity to design a car wrap fit for the racetrack through its Wrap Masters Design Competition.
This year, FESPA has launched the Wrap Masters Design Competition, inviting contestants to create a striking design for a Formula 4S speed boat that will be used by the Haugaard Racing Team in the 2017 World Formula 4 UIM Powerboat Championship.
In order to qualify, participants will need to produce an attention-grabbing design that puts their creative skills to the test and includes the boat number (22), as well as the racing team’s logo and World Wrap Masters sponsor, Hexis’ logo.
All entries must be submitted to wrapmasters@fespa.com by Friday 10th March 2017.
Entries will be judged by Formula 4 race boat driver, Sebastian Haugaard, and World Wrap Masters Head, Judge Ole Solskin Ravn. The winning design, which will be announced on Friday 17th March 2017, will be used in the World Wrap Masters Final during FESPA 2017, which is taking place from 8-12 May in Hamburg, Germany.
The winner will also receive a free trip to Hamburg, where they will have the opportunity to meet driver Sebastian Haugaard in person and see the racing boat being wrapped with their design during FESPA 2017.
The design will be used by Haugaard Racing Team and will adorn the powerboat until the final of the World Formula 4 UIM Powerboat Championship.

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
