Regional first through third place winners were named within the North American Territory of the USA, Canada, and Mexico.
Congratulations to all of the regional winners
1st Place USA:
Chevy Truck Baseball Stadium Bus Wrap, VPS Marketing
Wrapping a 40' tour bus is not an easy job, but MACtac IMAGin® B-free™ and Permacolor® RAYZor™ are the ideal combination for a difficult challenge. For this project, the customer used JT5529BFD media because from past experience, they were aware of the vinyl's properties and knew it would be both easy to apply and reposition if needed.
2nd Place USA:
Digital EFX Graphics truck Wrap, Digital EFX Graphics
This unique wrap features MACtac Imagin B-free media and the newly introduced Permacolor Enhancer 6300 series laminate. The use of the Enhancer laminate gives the printed graphic a metallic sparkle effect that - before the development of this product - was only seen in paint and cut vinyl applications. This distinctive wrap extends all the way to the vehicle's wheels.
3rd Place USA:
Fire Truck Garage Door, Great Gazebo
A time-intensive and detail-oriented job, this project required many necessities for a successful end-result, including photography of the fire truck, graphic design, printing and installation. The customer chose MACtac IMAGin JT5929BFD bubble-free media because of the vinyl's superior print quality and ease of installation.
1st Place Canada:
Fadi Restaurant Wall Graphic, Lucky Impressions
This difficult wrap on an interior brick wall took a great deal of care during installation, requiring special tools and a lot of heat to make sure the vinyl conformed properly and stuck to the rough brick texture of the wall. To create this unique wall graphic, the customer used MACtac's new IMAGin® B-free™ Pro (JT5529BFDPRO) featuring a high tack adhesive for a quick, aggressive bond, along with MACtac's Permacolor® RAYZor™ overlaminate (LF3630). This is the first customer to use the new IMAGin B-free Pro in this type of application.
2nd Place Canada:
Sara Jessica Parker Pillar Wrap, Icon Digital
This pillar wrap was designed for the launch of a new celebrity fragrance. To full-fill the needs of the advertisement, the wrap had to last for the life of the promotion, but be easily removed from the glass pillar structure. To accomplish this, the customer used IMAGin JT5800 vinyl with removable adhesive. The product offers 3-year durability and is easily removable for up to 1-year. This application took two installers five hours to complete.
3rd Place Canada:
Discover Patina.com Building Wrap, DeSigns Instant Signs
This project featured two main prerequisites: the images had to maintain color quality for the duration of the project, and the end-user needed to be able to overlay new images on top of the existing graphics. The printer selected IMAGin JT5828 vinyl with permanent adhesive. The product offers 3-years outdoor durability and has an opaque adhesive with will eliminate read through when layering graphics. A challenging process, this building wrap is 150 feet long and 20 feet high and was completed in 4 foot by 10 foot sections in 5 days.
1st Place Mexico:
Aldamary Sign, Trazo
To develop this 3-dimensional sign for promotional purposes, the customer created letters and graphics using MACmark® vinyl. The customer mounted the vinyl to canvas and then stretched it into a tubular structure, to achieve this original look.
2nd Place Mexico:
Selección Sol Truck Wrap, Digigrafica
This colorful, refreshing full coverage truck wrap houses a unique element of design to send its intended message. To help this design stand out, the customer developed a full coverage wrap and searched for a product that would produce a smooth finished look. IMAGin B-free (JT5529BFD) digital media did the trick.
3rd Place Mexico:
Telefonica Movistar Sign, Arquitectura
Intended to crown the coporate buidling for Movistar, a telephone company in Guadlajara, Mexico, the customer designed this backlit sign using MACmark 9700Pro.
