Reigning “King of the Wrap World” Nick Caminiti and his team from Melbourne signage company Exotic Graphix have again won the ANZ regional title and will compete for the “Wrap Like a King” world title later this year in Las Vegas.
Sponsor Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions named Lei’d Low by Exotic Graphix as the winner of the Australia and New Zealand Regional Wrap King event, which features Avery Dennison® Supreme WrappingTM Films, Conform Chrome and digital Supercast vinyl wrap films.
“Congratulations to Nick and his team for this win,” said Jordan Leach, business manager, Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions, Australia & New Zealand. “Their planning, creativity and installation techniques are testament of the dedication to their craft, impressing the panel of international judges.”
As Regional Winner for Australia and New Zealand, Exotic Graphix is automatically awarded as the Continent Wrap King, and will be judged alongside other continental winners for the ultimate “King of the Wrap World” title at the 2017 SEMA Show, October 31 - November 3, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
A panel of eight international industry judges chose 12 Wrap Kings from North America, Europe, North Asia and Australia/New Zealand out of 159 total entries. Judging criteria included: visual transformation (difference between the before and after pictures submitted), quality and skill level of installation, overall public look and appeal and uniqueness of the design.
