Hayden Bryant from Attention Signs and Graphics has won the Hexis Wrap Battle, which took place over the three days of Visual Impact Sydney.

Rafael Sena from Auto Artisan was the runner-up.

Each day of the show saw three rounds where four contestants were asked to wrap a panel of the Hexis “Battle Shield” using high-end Hexis products.

Daily champions then competed in a showdown today to determine the winner and runner-up, who win a trip to New Zealand with airfares, accommodation and meals paid, to compete against their Kiwi counterparts at New Zealand’s leading trade show in early July.

“Over the last three days, the Australian Sign and Graphics Association (ASGA) asked us to run our Hexis Wrap Battle with a view to finding the best winners to take across to New Zealand and compete against the best of the Kiwi Wrappers at the New Zealand Sign Show in July,” Hexis managing director Ian Parsonson said.

“We’ve been able to come up with the winner and runner-up, but we’ve seen some pretty high skills with guys sweating it out to finish. We’ve also seen some ladies show us their capabilities.

“Hayden Bryant from Attention Signs and Graphics is the winner of the Hexis Wrap Battle but as he had to go back to the shop and finish his jobs for customers, his sister Melliah Tooth has collected the prize on his behalf.

“As with every competition, there’s always a runner-up. Rafael Sena from Auto Artisan is the runner-up. Auto Artisan won our Wrap Battle in Melbourne at PacPrint. The skill level of its staff is obviously very high because we’ve got another winner in this competition.

“For everyone that attended the Wrap Battle over the last three days, thank you.”
