Şenay İpek, General Coordinator, at ARED comments: “While the global sign-making community is seeing developments in live media, in Turkey there is still huge demand for traditional signage techniques. Through our Signage Demo workshop, we want to show how sign-makers across this region can produce eye-catching signage applications using established techniques.”
FESPA World Wrap Masters Eurasia
FESPA’s worldwide vehicle wrap event, The World Wrap Masters, returns to Eurasia with a workshop and live head-to-head competition. Sponsored by Hexis, the feature will run on all four days of the event. The workshops will take place on Thursday 7 and Friday 8 December, hosted by World Wrap Masters judge Ole Solskin Ravn and the competition on the 9 and 10.
The workshop on 7 December will be relevant for entry-level vehicle installers and will provide visitors with top tips and the basic application techniques to get started in vehicle wrapping. During the session visitors will also have the opportunity to wrap part of a vehicle themselves.
For visitors with existing vehicle wrapping experience, the medium-advanced level workshop on 8 December will show the latest techniques and approaches to wrapping and will look in more detail at tackling difficult vehicle areas. The workshop will also highlight how installers can use less vinyl in less time to achieve the best results and improve profitability on wrap jobs.
On the final two days, the World Wrap Masters Eurasia competition will take place, culminating in the final on Sunday 10 December. During the competition, up to 16 wrappers will battle it out wrapping a variety of objects including cars and helmets to win the title of Wrap Master Eurasia. The winner will be awarded a cash prize and the chance to compete in the World Wrap Masters Series Final that will take place at FESPA 2018 Global Print Expo in Berlin, Germany, from 15 to 18 May 2018.
Wrap expert and World Wrap Masters Judge, Ole Solskin Ravn comments: “The World Wrap Masters Series is always an exciting event and each series brings with it different skills, challenges and opportunities. Since my first time at FESPA Eurasia the wrap and vinyl market has grown with new regional and international brands entering the space. The workshops at FESPA Eurasia will be a great platform to work with budding wrappers to highlight optimum techniques and tools for them to use to become the best in the business. The competition element is always a crowd favourite and I’m sure this year’s event will be no different.”
