The Hexis Wrap Battle is returning to Visual Impact Expo, where each day of the show will see three rounds where four contestants will be asked to wrap a panel of the Hexis “Battle Shield” using high-end Hexis products.

“The Wrap Battle was originally conceived to showcase and encourage achievement in our industry, and it’s quickly become one of the highlights at Visual Impact and PacPrint expos,” Hexis Australia managing director Ian Parsonson said.

“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.”

Each day of the show, which runs from 3 May until 5 May, three rounds will be held – at 1pm, 2pm and 3pm on the first two days and 12 noon and 1pm on the last day.

Daily champions will then compete in a showdown at 1.30pm on the last day to determine which two will 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.

Parsonson said there are still a few places left for wrap specialists to pit their skills against the industry’s finest but, remaining spots are expected to fill fast.
