Vehicle wrap customers in Perth put their skills to the test at Spicers’ first ‘Wrap Day’, getting their hands on the latest vehicle wrapping solution available.
The inaugural event saw attendees join two hands-on training sessions held at the Burnswood on Swan function centre. The full gamut of skill levels were catered for, with the day split across a beginner’s class and a master’s class for the more advanced, with experts on hand with tips on vehicle preparation and application techniques.
The day saw customers get a crash course on some of the newest wrapping materials available from Spicers Sign & Display team, Avery’s MPI1005 EZRS and the new DOL1460 3D High Gloss over laminate. Spicers’ Sign & Display WA team also welcomed new sales executive Alan Dodsworth on board for the event.
Dodsworth was quick to praise the new range: “The over laminate is an ultra conformable product. It’s really quite incredible how it handles the most extreme 3D curves. It also has excellent printability and print well across latex, eco solvent, solvent and UV curable inkjet printers, so you have the added benefit of just one consistent product for use across multiple platforms.”
The new DOL1460 enjoys a high gloss ‘wet look’ finish which keeps prints looking vibrant longer, and has air egress channels to eliminate bubbles and wrinkles.
Roger Rankine, Spicers regional manager, WA, highlighted Perth as a vital market for Spicers, and hopes that the Wrap Day will go some way to growing its footprint in Western Australia.
Dodsworth agrees: “I’m really looking forward to further developing Spicers’ presence in the Perth market and assisting the consumable needs of wide format printers in Perth.”
Car wraps have been picked up as an effective alternative to spray-paint jobs, as they are easy to apply, repositionable, and are often used in advertising.
