Avery Dennison Announces 10 Regional ‘Wrap Like A King’ Winners
Coming up in less than two weeks, these 10 will be paired down to four Continent winners, who are the four finalists.
Mentor, Ohio-based Avery Dennison announces the 10 Regional winners in its annual Wrap Like A King contest, as well as the winner in a new category this year: the People’s Choice Award.
The “People’s Prince” award, as it’s called, was voted on by the public and that award goes to Genus Cars in the United Arab Emirates, representing Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Using Avery Dennison’s SWF Black Matt, Genus Cars wrapped a Mercedes in matte black and for their efforts will receive a prize package worth $1,500.

Wrap installers from 53 countries across the world were invited to submit full-print or color-change wrap projects using vinyl from the Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film portfolio, including Conform Chrome, MPI 1105 Supercast Digital film or a combination to be evaluated against their regional peers by an international panel of eight judges. The judges reviewed every submission and evaluated each project by the following criteria: visual transformation (difference between the before-and-after photos submitted); quality of workmanship and skill level of installation; overall public appeal; and uniqueness of the design.
The 2019 panel of judges included: Justin Pate of The Wrap Institute; Myles Kovacs of DUB Magazine; Yianni Charalambous of Yiannimize; Eddy Speelman of Speelman Graphic Applications; Molly Waters of Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions; Peter Wright of Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions; Sarel Krüger of Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions; and Frank Marquart of Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions.
Each Regional Wrap King will be awarded nearly $2,000 worth of personalized marketing materials, Avery Dennison products and passes to the SEMA Show in Las Vegas Nov. 5-8.
Coming up on Tuesday, Oct. 1, four Continental winners will be announced. These winners will receive a four-night stay in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show, which is where the global King of the Wrap World will be crowned on Nov. 5. The King of the Wrap World grand prize package is worth almost $5,000, with additional gift vouchers and exposure via the Avery Dennison website and web advertisements.
