Avery Dennison Launches New Certified Installer Perks

Do you have what it takes to become an Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installer? Of the more than 500 wrap training class participants, only 170 Avery Dennison car wrap training attendees are Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installers. Certification is for life and there are no annual fees in order to maintain certification status.  

To become an Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installer (CWI), installers must pass the Avery Dennison certification test, completing the hands-on portion of the exam using MPI 1005 Easy Apply RS™ with DOL 1360, Supreme Wrapping Film or a combination of the two. The 2015 tests are held following the Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film Workshops and are made up of five modules: written exam, hood, fender, door/window and a cutting test. Justin Pate and Avery Dennison representatives administer the test.

After registering for the test, all participants receive a study guide which contains the answers to the test questions. Avery Dennison recommends participants bring their own installation tools, because they will be most comfortable with these during the test.  

"Getting certified is extremely important in today’s wrapping world as it immediately distinguishes an installer from others when clients are looking for someone to wrap their vehicle,” said Pate. “Becoming an Avery Dennison Certified Installer gives premium status and is for life - no annual fees or need to retake the test.”

New this year, Avery Dennison CWIs now receive marketing and advertising support with the CWI Kit. The CWI Kit includes a certificate of achievement, 24” x 48” banner, and window cling to hang in your shop, a Supreme Wrapping Film Swatchbook to easily see all the colors available from Avery Dennison and a branded t-shirt. Certified installers will also receive a press release and logos to use for additional promotional opportunities. Avery Dennison Certified Wrap Installers are also featured on the the Find-an-Installer webpage so prospective customers can easily locate a certified installer.
