WRAPSTAR PRO IS PDAA MASTER CERTIFIED INSTALLER

May 18, 2018

Last month WrapStar Pro took the graphic installation business to the next level by successfully completing the PDAA Master Certification Test. The National certification of the PDAA Master Certified is a recognized program in installation excellence. It requires proven proficiency and demonstrates WrapStar Pro can do any installation job with confidence. Certification means joining a group of graphic installers who have achieved the highest degree of industry recognition and prowess. The certification is granted to graphic installers who have achieved industry recognition and expertise. WrapStar Pro had to pass the written and hands on tests that are designed for installers to demonstrate their graphic installation knowledge and proficiency. 

When Kristin Lanzarone-Scribner, the owner, began the certification test with two days of hands on training with legend Rob Ivers, she blew them away with her installation knowledge and experience. Coming from an individual who has never taken a min of training and has self studied vinyl by understanding how to finesse the material over time through experience. One particular task, which is every installers fear, when it comes to window knock outs on commercial vans is always a challenge on which technique is best preferred. Kristin successfully tried every technique that was taught, however, there is one technique that is extremely challenging and isn't recommended for the rookies. Rob Ivers set Kristin up for a challenge and she took it in full force. Rob told Kristin that he has only had one person successfully be able to perform this challenging technique and have the install come out flawlessly. Kristin performed the challenge and came out on top with a flawless install. Rob was blown away. He then questioned her if she would be performing this technique on the Master Certification test. Kristin told him absolutely! Kristin did just that for the Master Certification Test and performed another flawless install with no stretching or distortion of the graphic from stretching. Upon completion of the full Master Certification testing, Rob told Kristin she was bow one of two individuals to ever compete that task in the testing program and come out flawless. With that being said Kristin is the first female ever to perform this technique in the Master Certification Test.

In the January- February Issue of Big Picture Magazine , there is a segment called "From The Ground Up" where Adrienne Palmer had 10 PSP's share how they launched and built their own business. Check out my 'From The Ground Up' story for WrapStar Pro. In this half page story I shared "The How's" of getting to where I am today: - How it all started - How I studied & finessed vinyl wraps ( Joanna Havey educated me quickly on Cast vs Calendered 😅) - How I branded WrapStar Pro - How I navigated being able to do it all from design, print and installs - How I taught myself designing vehicle wraps - My advise on how to start a similar business in this amazing industry. (In addition to this topic, not in the article, I'm always available to anyone who needs advice for starting up a business in this industry.) https://lnkd.in/dREzSHzE Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend ahead! Happy 2023, work hard and kick ass! 😎🙌 #WrapStarpro #wrapstaruniversity #bigpicturemagazine #femaleownedbusiness #enterpreneur #training #certifications #wideformatprinting #vinylwrap #installers #3M #ARLON #orafol #averydennison #fellers #share #design #business

I've brought back my roots of a journalist. Except this time it's not about the motorsports industry it's about the printing and installation industry. For 2023, you will see me as an active columnist writer for Big Picture Magazine launching a six part series on "The Competitive Wrap Installer." Kick starting the first column about "Training & Certifications" in the January- February issue of BPM. Be sure to capture all six parts of The Competitive Wrap Installer series and hopefully it will be beneficial for the industry installers. Thank you to Adrienne Palmer with Big Picture Magazine for the amazing opportunity and believing in me with valuable industry content.

WrapStar Pro Owner, Kristin Lanzarone, Featured in the Wide-Format Impressions Magazine Issue November/December 2022. A photo captured of Kristin installing a hood wrap in the PDAA Wide Format Zone at Printing United Expo 2022. Kristin worked the Wide Format zone floor for all 3 days of the show doing product showcases of wrap materials on various substrates and judging the Orafol Hood wrap challenge. Returning back post COVID, the show was a success. Full of exhibitors and the floor covered with attendees. Looking forward to Printing United Expo 2023 in Atlanta, GA.
