Prima Graphics x Jeroen Vermeulen Design Among Top 20 Car Wraps of 2017

Thanks to advances in printing technology, vehicle wraps have soared in popularity in recent years, matching and even surpassing the quality of custom paint jobs. These digitally-printed vinyl stickers have been applied to everything from race cars to airplanes, catching the attention of audiences and bystanders alike. The versatility of modern vehicle wraps – which come in every shape, size, and colour – has enabled an unprecedented level of detail. This has caught the attention of not only high profile brands, but also cutting-edge artists. In many cases, brands have collaborated with artists and graphic designers to dress up their fleets.

In December 2017, FESPA announced their list of the year’s top 20 outstanding vehicle wrap designs, which included both artistic pieces and brand collaborations. FESPA is a global federation made up of 37 national associations representing the screen printing, digital printing, and textile printing industries.

Featured among many well-known designers like Ecosse Signs, PressON and Bazoom Studio is Tsawwassen, BC based artist Jeroen Vermeulen, who collaborated with Prima Graphics to display one of his own abstract paintings. Vermeulen has been painting for more than 45 years and is active in the Vancouver community. Working together with Vermeulen, Prima showcased his masterpiece in an eye-catching display. Vermeulen’s S450 Mercedes now displays his “Jackson Pollock-like” work.
