WrapFest 2026 will co-locate with the FESPA Global Print Expo this May to provide a comprehensive overview of the vehicle wrapping and vinyl applications market.
WrapFest 2026 is set to provide a platform for experts and professionals across the vehicle wrapping industry to exchange knowledge, discover the latest innovations, and explore future trends. Taking place from 19th to 22nd May 2026 at the Gran Via, Fira de Barcelona, the event will be co-located for the first time with the FESPA Global Print Expo and its associated events.
Providing visitors with access to over 2,000 square metres of exhibition space, WrapFest will expose attendees to a diverse portfolio of products, solutions, media, and consumables for the vinyl applications market. Confirmed exhibitors include APA, Antalis, Arlon, Carlas, Hexis, LX Hausys, GSWF, Legend PPF, and SOIF. These industry-leading brands will showcase window films, laminating machinery, vinyl cutting and finishing tools, inks, printable films, and garage design equipment.
The high-adrenaline World Wrap Masters competitions will also run within the event space. Over the first two days, the World Wrap Masters Europe will see vehicle wrappers from across the continent go head-to-head wrapping a variety of special objects and vehicles. On days three and four, regional champions will battle to be crowned the World Wrap Masters 2026 champion in the global series final. The intense competition will be judged by industry experts Ole Solskin, Kiss Lajos, Penelope Garrido, Ivan Tenchev, Carlos Ruiz, and Paige Walton.
Visitors can also join the free-to-attend WrapTalks sessions across all four days of the event. Throughout a series of panel discussions, attendees will gain detailed insights into the latest trends and challenges within the industry, as well as learn how they can successfully expand their businesses. Confirmed sessions include “Pixels to Panels: The Wrap Production Pipeline,” “Inside the Wrap: Creative Projects That Pushed Boundaries,” and “Women in Wrap: Breaking Barriers, Building Futures.”
