Hexis to run two wrap events at SDUK 2020

Organisers of Sign and Digital UK have announced that the Hexis UK Wrap Battle Contest will be back for the 2020 show. Hexis will also run a new speed wrap competition - the ’Skintac Time Trial Challenge’ - where show visitors can put their wrapping skills to the test in timed conditions.

Two heats and a semi-final for the Hexis UK Wrap Battle will take place on the show floor each day, where participants will compete in 10 minute-long contests. Entrants will be judged on speed, efficiency and quality of work, with the daily winners progressing to a grand finale on the show’s closing day, Thursday 30 April. Stuart Shenton, Hexis sales and marketing manager, said: “As with last year's battle, new Hexis materials will be introduced round-by-round to make each heat gradually more difficult for the contestants. “The judges will score each contestant on accuracy of fitting, speed, quality of finish, health and safety at work, work ethic and technique. With the crown for the UK’s best wrapper up for grabs, may the best contestant win! The Battle Wrap competition is free to enter online. The Skintac Time Trial Challenge is also free to enter - visitors can sign up on the day at the Hexis stand.
