The World Wrap Masters Europe 2026 competition, one of the highlighted competitions of the season, has concluded. Held at FESPA Global Print Expo at The Fira Barcelona from 19th -20th May 2026, this year’s competition saw 24 talented competitors from 11 countries around the world, including Japan, China, Brazil, Spain, and many more, battling it out for the title, making it the largest and most competitive edition of the event to date. 

This year’s competition featured 2 days of intensity, wrapping panels of a Mercedes A-Class. In the creative round, participants were tasked with wrapping a water jug and a bucket. Both items were challenging to wrap and required not only technical skill but also a unique artistic approach. 

After an intense 2 days of competition, the results were finally revealed. Kai Trengove of Rinda Factory became champion, showcasing exceptional skill and innovation throughout the event. In second place was the highly skilled Bin Li from China, whose impressive work on the creative round items earned him a spot on the podium. Taking third place was Simon Jokumsen from Denmark. 

During his interview after he was crowned as the World Wrap Masters Europe winner, Kai said:  “I’m very proud to be Europe World Wrap Masters Champion, representing Japan in Barcelona, Spain. I am excited for the Finals in the next two days.”. 

The competition was sponsored by HP, Arlon, Carlas, Terminax, Summa and Wrapstock. These sponsors supported the competition massively through providing design, printing, cutting and material. 

The World Wrap Masters Europe will return from 6th – 7th  April 2027 at FESPA Global Print Expo 2027 at Messe Munich in Germany, where the best car wrappers in the world will compete to be crowned the World Wrap Master of 2027.
