Instructor
Justin Pate is the founder of The Wrap Institute and specializes in the installation of vinyl film and vehicles wrapping since 1996. His career began in New York and since then, he has wrapped over 3,000 vehicles. By closely studying the vehicle graphic installation process, Justin created an efficient training platform for wrapping called UGIS (Universal Graphics Installation System). With UGIS, Justin can easily wrap any vehicle (or almost) in less than 5 hours. Some vehicles, like vans, can be wrapped in 2 hours.

During the training, Justin will share his best tips. He will cover many topics including the vehicle’s preparation, tools, design strategies, some common mistakes to avoid as well as the basics to enhance your business skills.
