MENTOR, Ohio (News release) -- Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions has announced its 2026 training and certification exam schedule. The expert-led workshops provide in-depth, hands-on instruction with a wide range of films, including Supreme Wrapping Film™/Vehicle Color Change, Commercial Wraps, Wet-Apply and Dry-Apply Paint Protection Film, and Automotive and Architectural Window Film. All skill levels are welcome. No previous experience is required.
New Classes and Learning Opportunities for 2026:
PrismaPro™ Dry-Apply Color PPF Training - This innovative workshop will feature the new dry-apply color paint protection film (launching in 2026) and help installers learn best-practice techniques for installing these films.
Commercial Wrap Training - Updated class instruction to focus on commercial wrapping, with each session now including transit vans.
Advanced Wrap Training - Now available to all installers who have taken an Avery Dennison wrap training course over the past five years; the course is no longer limited to only certified wrap installers.
Also in 2026, wrap training class size will be reduced by 22% to allow more personal instruction and more hands-on time for each student.
"Our expert-led workshops are designed to support all skill levels. Participants gain in-depth knowledge, plus learn tips and tricks that distinguish excellent installers," said Graeme McKnight, Marketing Program Associate at Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions. "After training by an Avery Dennison specialist, attendees will be able to deliver professional results that consistently exceed customer expectations."
Avery Dennison training sessions offer live demonstrations and hands-on practice with trusted, experienced trainers. 90% of each course focuses on hands-on learning to improve cutting skills, learn material properties, and refine installation techniques.
Continuing education is also an economical investment for smart installers. Available from applicable classes, participants receive a free roll of film, free installation tools, and a 33% discount for a one-year membership to The Wrap Institute.
Wrap training may be combined with the Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installer (CWI) exam that enhances credibility and profitability for wrap shops and independent installers.
