The wrap industry came together in Long Beach, California for WrapsCon 2025, the largest event in the U.S. dedicated to vehicle wraps, graphics, and signage.
For Simplify Graphics, this year’s event was unforgettable—our team proudly took home both 1st and 3rd place in the Designer Throwdown competition!
What is WrapsCon?
WrapsCon, hosted as part of the Graphics Pro Expo (GPX), is the premier trade show for the wrap and graphics industry. Every year, thousands of:
Vehicle wrap installers
Wrap shops
Sign companies
Graphic designers
Material and equipment suppliers
…gather to explore the latest innovations in wraps, signage, and design.
The event is known for its live demonstrations, hands-on training, and competitions that push creativity to the limit—especially the Designer Throwdown.
Inside the Designer Throwdown
The Designer Throwdown is a highly competitive contest that recognizes the best in vehicle wrap design. Designers from across the country submit wrap concepts that are judged on:
Creativity and originality
Technical execution and layout
Real-world application as a print-ready vehicle wrap
This year, Simplify Graphics’ designs stood out among the nation’s best.
🥇 1st Place Winner – Our winning wrap design was selected as the official artwork for the live installer competition. Printed and installed in front of the WrapsCon crowd, it was incredible to see our concept transformed into a real vehicle wrap during the show.
1st Place Winner 🥉 3rd Place Winner – Another one of our designs also made the podium, proving our team’s ability to consistently deliver creative and versatile solutions for wrap shops.

Seeing Our Wrap Design Installed Live
The highlight of WrapsCon for us was watching our 1st place design installed live on vehicles by skilled wrap installers. Seeing our concept go from a digital file to a full-color, real-world wrap was a proud moment for our entire team.
On top of that, receiving the award plates among peers and industry leaders reminded us why we love what we do: helping wrap shops and sign companies stand out with eye-catching, professional designs.
