FESPA has announced that WrapFest 2026 will move from its standalone UK format to take place alongside FESPA Global Print Expo in Barcelona
FESPA has announced that WrapFest 2026 will move from its standalone UK format at Silverstone to instead take place as part of FESPA 2026 at the Fira Barcelona from 19–22 May 2026. This strategic move brings the wrap, vinyl, PPF, window tint, architectural interior, and detailing industries closer to the heart of the speciality print industry.
Confirmed WrapFest exhibitors include major brands such as 3M, APA, Antalis, Arlon, Hexis, LX Hausys, GSWF, Legend PPF, and SOIF. After two successful UK editions, WrapFest will now run alongside FESPA Global Print Expo and its co-located events: European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience, and the new Corrugated and Textile showcases.
Visitors to WrapFest 2026 will experience the high-energy World Wrap Masters Europe and Series Final competitions. During the first two days, vehicle wrappers from across Europe will compete in World Wrap Masters Europe. On days three and four, regional champions from across the globe will battle it out to be crowned the World Wrap Masters 2026 champion.
In addition to the competitions, WrapFest will offer over 2,000m² of dedicated exhibition space featuring the latest self-adhesive films, software, and tools. Attendees can participate in a series of live wrapping demonstrations with industry experts and attend a dedicated conference programme focused on technical tips and skills development.
Duncan MacOwan, Head of Marketing and Events at FESPA, comments: “Although WrapFest has built real momentum in the UK, by integrating it into FESPA 2026, we’re giving the global wrap community a bigger stage and a far more international platform. The show at Barcelona will allow us to connect wrap installers, brands and suppliers with a much wider audience. The result will be more energy, more knowledge-sharing and more opportunities for our visitors and exhibitors to learn, compete and make crucial connections – all under one roof.”
Registration for the events is now open as of January 2026. Visitors can purchase super early bird tickets for all five FESPA events for €25 using the code WFM2601.
