FESPA has announced that WrapFest 2026 will move from its standalone UK format Silverstone Race Circuit, to instead take place as part of FESPA 2026, at the Fira Barcelona from 19–22 May 2026. The strategic move promises to bring the wrap, vinyl, PPF, window tint, architectural interior and detailing industries closer to the wider speciality print industry than ever before.
The World Wrap Masters (Europe and Series Final) competitions will become part of WrapFest 2026.
In its new format in Barcelona, WrapFest will provide visitors with access to over 2,000sqm of exhibition space, covering the FESPA 2026 line-up of events. The floorspace dedicated to WrapFest will showcase wrap-focused applications and solutions, including: self-adhesive wrap films, software and design, tools and accessories, alongside a packed programme of live demos, technical tips and skills development opportunities.
Duncan MacOwan, Head of Marketing and Events at FESPA, says, “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.”
Visitors to WrapFest 2026 will also get to experience the high-energy World Wrap Masters (Europe and Series Final) competitions. On days three and four of the event, regional champions will battle it out to be crowned World Wrap Masters 2026 champion in the Finals of the global series. Over the first two days of the event, World Wrap Masters Europe will see regional competitions, during which vehicle wrappers from across Europe will go head-to-head to wrap a variety of special objects and vehicles.
Confirmed WrapFest exhibitors include 3M, APA, Antalis, Arlon, Hexis, LX Hausys, GSWF, Legend PPF, SOIF and many more.
Other FESPA Global Print Expo co-located events include European Sign Expo and Personalisation Experience, and the new Corrugated and Textile.
