THE CONCEPT
As the official wrapping competition of the C!Print trade show, C!Wrap has, in five years, become the national gathering for professionals in the adhesive market, even attracting participants from beyond France’s borders, including teams from Switzerland in recent years and from Spain this year.
The concept is now well-established: 6 teams of 6 professional wrappers must cover a designated area in 5.5 hours using specific elements: a floor, a wall, furniture, a 3D object, and half a vehicle. Each day, two teams face off, and a panel of industry professionals evaluates their work at the end of the day based on precise criteria (quality of application, finishes, creativity).
THE 2026 THEME
This year, we go Back to the Past. C!Wrap 2026 will invite visitors to step into an iconic space of 1980s pop culture and reconnect with the excitement of the first arcade halls. A theme that offers installers and competitors the perfect canvas to showcase both their creativity and technical expertise.
Teams will bring unique graphic universes to life, using every tool at their disposal: neon colors, textured effects, bold color palettes, pixelated graphics from early video games…
Their mission goes beyond simply creating a décor. They will tell a story, transporting visitors into their very own video games.
Specifically, they will cover a mini arcade room, complete with walls and a full-size arcade machine.
The main stage of the competition will transform this year into a giant arcade machine, which will be the centerpiece of the work, including fully covering walls and floors, as well as integrating 3D objects (joysticks) into the installation.
An ideal opportunity to illustrate the synergy between graphic design and technical expertise in creating environments that can move and impress in equal measure.
THE TEAMS
Each day, two teams will face off in the C!Wrap arena. On the lineup: regulars, former winners, and new competitors.
