GSP Print, the Prestons-based specialist large format producer owned by APN Outdoor, has won Best Vehicle Wrap in the Contra Vision 4th International Wrap Artists competition, announced at SGIA Expo in Las Vegas. The complete vehicle wrap featuring ‘Slurpee’ was created for 7 Eleven stores.
Contra Vision sponsored the international competition to find the best see-through window graphics across international markets. The entries covered five main categories, building wraps, vehicle wraps, transit advertising, best creative and a special category of innovative use, with an additional winner of the overall best application, chosen from the five category winners.
The range of exciting and creative entries showcased how Contra Vision Perforated Window Film or other see-through technology can be used across a range of media from creating stunning advertisements or signs to wrapping transit vehicles, entrance doors or partitions; effectively turning any area of glass into a giant billboard.
