The event, organised by FESPA – the global federation of national associations for the printing community – will take place from 3-4 October 2024 at the prestigious Silverstone racing circuit in Northamptonshire, UK – the home of British Motor Racing.

Exhibitors will collaborate with WrapFest in developing the agenda and activities across the two days, with the show built around attendee interaction. Amongst the confirmed exhibitors are leading suppliers, Adapt Amari Digital, All Print Supplies, William Smith, 3M, Garware Hi-Tech Films, and HP.
The event will also play host to the regional UK & Ireland World Wrap Masters heat, in which 24 wrappers will compete in a series of timed wrapping competitions, with the winner going on to compete in the World Wrap Masters Final at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025 in Berlin.
Those planning to attend are encouraged to take advantage of the event’s super early bird offer, available until Saturday 15th June, which will see them save at least £15 on the regular price of a ticket, with a further £20 discounted by quoting a promo code which is available across WrapFest communications.

The sector continues to show tremendous growth, and WrapFest 2024 will reflect that, being bigger and better than before. The event will once again aim to connect our wider industry, in the hope of sharing knowledge and showcasing the latest innovation on the market. With the lineup of exhibitors, features, and visitors at this years’ show, WrapFest is positioned as the leading trade event for vinyl wrapping and vehicle customisation in Europe.”

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.
