Sun Wrap took the title while Lindahl Wrapping came second, overcoming 26 other teams to win prizes that included thousands of pounds' worth of software and substrates and, for the top two, the choice between a Mutoh Kona 1400 cutter and a Royal Sovereign Laminator.

The competitors were tasked with wrapping a collection of cars, including Smart Cars to match one driven to Hamburg by Fespa's 'Digital Man'.

Sun Wrap owner Jesper Solager said: "It was a really exciting competition, with many truly talented car wrappers competing, and it was a very close run race. The prizes were fantastic but for us the status of Wrap Cup Champion is the best reward."

Head judge Rob Ivers, founder of the PDAA (Professional Decal Application Alliance) said it was "the most competitive of the Wrap Cup Series events so far. The quality of the finished cars easily surpassed previous stages and the competitors were all world-class".

He added that the event was also becoming a draw for show visitors.

The wrap competitions are taking place over eight stages across three years, and the final will be held at Fespa 2013 in London.
