Leading the way in innovation in the graphics and auto markets, there are so many new things to see from 3M at FESPA this year.
FESPA is the leading exhibition for the global digital, screen and textile print industry, and this year will be held in Berlin, Germany, from 6- 9 May. The 3M team is delighted to welcome visitors to stand A50 in hall 6, where they will showcase their latest technological innovations, including the new 3M™ Pattern Marketplace, the new paint protection pattern proprietary software from 3M. As well as new and improved search capabilities and user interface, this cloud-based software offers access to over 5,500 quality-tested paint protection film and window film patterns.
The perfect partner for 3M Pattern Marketplace is Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series 200. Available in gloss and matt versions, this top of the range paint protection film with an optimised adhesive for repositioning, minimising lift lines and adhesive marks will be featured at the Wrap Masters competition. See it on the 3M stand together with the soon to be launched 3M™ Paint Protection Film Series 150 Gloss. Designed for ease of installation, this new film will come with a 10-year warranty.
“At the show we will showcase our new 3M™ Paint Protection Film Series 150 Gloss which provides an optimised adhesive for a more flexible product and easy installation experience,” said Pen Webley, EMEA Personal Auto Product Marketer. “We know our installers are looking for quality solutions that both enhance and protect their customers'
vehicles but also enable them to install with ease and speed. We’re excited to add this product to the PPF portfolio.”
Also on show is new 3M™ Protection Wrap Film, available in multiple colours. It combines vehicle customisation with durable protection against chips, scratches, and stains in one film. This innovative film has a dry installation with 3M™ Comply™ and Controltac™ technologies; it installs two times faster end to end than wet-applied PPF*
*when compared to Scotchgard Paint Protection Film Pro series 200.
Justin Pate, The Wrap Institute will be demonstrating this new film at the show, and our team of expert application trainers will be wrapping live on the 3M stand.
3M is excited to announce the introduction of the next generation 3M Crystalline and Color Stable series at FESPA 2025 in Berlin.
These innovative automotive window films are designed to enhance comfort, style, and protection for vehicle owners.
3M™ Automotive Window Film Crystalline™ Series CR BLK utilises multilayer optical film and ceramic nano-technology to reject more heat than many darker films, providing superior comfort and protection. Available in a variety of tint levels, the Crystalline™ Series features a deep black, gray colour that complements any vehicle, offering elite performance and lasting style.
3M™ Automotive Window Film Color Stable Series CS IR uses advanced nano-ceramic technology to provide superior performance and durability. The Color Stable Series rivals tinted factory glass in its rich appearance. Infused with revolutionary ceramic nano-particles and available in a variety of tint levels, these films ensure that your window tint won’t fade to purple over time.
As market leaders in the print film market, 3M will launch their new non-pvc film to FESPA attendees, 3M™ Envision™ Print Film PL50mC. A next-generation film made from 40% bio-based materials* and designed with solvent-free, ultra-removable adhesive.
This non-pvc film has been developed for short-term applications for vehicle and fleet graphics and interior and exterior signage (smooth, flat surfaces), making this film an excellent choice for brands looking to showcase their messaging while working toward sustainability goals.
*Derived from non-food source corn.
3M™ Envision™ Print Film PL50mC delivers outstanding print quality for UV and latex digital printers as well as UV screen. The graphic film is compatible with several 3M non-PVC overlaminates for additional protection, cleanability and stunning appearance.
Also new to the 3M stand at FESPA is our programme for the branding, personalization and protection of EV charging stations. The 3M graphic portfolio is the perfect choice for graphic manufacturers to support Charging Point Operators looking to reinforce their brand visibility while enhancing their EV drivers' charging experience.
3M wide graphic portfolio is available to our graphic manufacturers and installers for:
✔ EV charger wrapping - to turn EV chargers into branded assets
