“The Wrap Battle was conceived to showcase and encourage achievement in our industry and it’s quickly become one of the highlights at Visual Impact and PacPrint expos,” says Ian Parsonson, managing director of HEXIS Australia. There are still places available for wrappers to pit their skills in the event at Visual Impact 2023 (3-5 May).
“The daily contests always draw great crowds and create plenty of excitement, with four competitors in the ring for fast and furious 15-minute challenges – and, with winners of the eventual grand final vying for an all-expenses paid trip to New Zealand to compete in the trans-Tasman competition, it’s’ sure to be hotly contested this year,” Parsonson says.
Each day of the show, which runs from Wednesday 3 May until Friday 5 May, will see three rounds – at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm on Wednesday and Thursday, and 12 noon and 1pm on Friday – where four contestants will be asked to wrap a panel of the HEXIS “Battle Shield” using high-end HEXIS products.
Daily champions will then compete in a showdown at 1.30pm on Friday to determine which two will win a trip to New Zealand with airfares, accommodation and meals paid, to compete against their Kiwi counterparts at NZ’s leading trade show in early July.
Parsonson says there are still a few places left for wrap specialists to pit their skills against the industry’s finest but, with such a great prize up for grabs, remaining spots are expected to fill fast. To register your interest in one of the remaining places, contact Michael Punch on 0448 274 211 or at michael_punch@signs.org.au
HEXIS will also be exhibiting on Stand F12 at the show, featuring an expanded range of innovations in the BodyFence PPF range of transparent adhesive vehicle protection films, with demonstrations on the stand each day. Developed by HEXIS R&D, the BodyFence range is designed to protect against scratches, stone chips, abrasion and UV rays while making vehicles easier to clean by preventing dirt from sticking to the paintwork.
HEXIS will be one of more than 90 exhibitors bringing their latest and best to Visual Impact Sydney, which opens at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park from 3-5 May 2023.
