With projects shortlisted in multiple categories, find out more about each one below:
#1: Best Commercial Fleet Wrap (Fleet) - FSEW International Freight Forwarders
Making Transport Sustainable
FSEW have made a commitment to being the first logistics company to be running a fully renewable energy fleet in the UK. Through the adoption of Biomethane fuel and Electric truck cabs, they are able to offer a carbon neutral solution to logistics for their ever growing list of clients.
Now 30 odd units into their new look for each of the vehicle types, FSEW is consistently growing and becoming a familiar site on roads around the country. With further plans in the pipeline for continued investment in sustainability, we're all excited in what the future holds for this company.
The Power of Reflectivity
With the big step into this investment, FSEW really wanted to shout about this move and opted to utilise innovative ways of branding their vehicles. Reaching out to Popin Graphics for options, we had just the thing to make sure they stood out.
3M 780mc presents a unique opportunity to harness the power of reflectivity combined with a bespoke printed design all within one wrap package. With glass elements in the printable base layer, any light shone directly at this film is bounced back at the viewer making for some impressive images and responses from the public.

#2: Best Vehicle Graphics (Full or Partial) - Porsche Centre Cardiff
Celebrating 75 Years of Motorsport
2023 saw Porsche celebrate 75 Years of Motorsport excellence, marking a legacy of innovation, performance, and success on the world's greatest racing stages. Since its first race victory in 1948 with the Porsche 356 SL, the brand has become synonymous with endurance racing, precision engineering, and a relentless pursuit of speed. This milestone is a tribute to the engineers, drivers, and fans who have fueled Porsche's racing spirit for three-quarters of a century.
For the event, Porsche Cardiff approached Popin for the wrapping of one of their new showroom Taycan Turbos.
Dream in Full Colour
With a range of colours selected from the Porche's paint library to celebrate the milestone, Popin teamed up with sister company and signage specialist Morgans Consult to create a multi-element presentation. This featured a full wrap on the Taycan along with a multitude of window and floor graphics provided by Morgans Consult giving a vibrant and eye catching finish.
Now operating out of their new home in Newport, we continue to wish Porsche all the success in their new premises. If you'd like to see more of how this exciting project came together, you can do so by following the link below.
#3: Best Vehicle Graphics (Full or Partial) - Cardiff City Football Club
125 Years of History & Passion
Cardiff City Football Club proudly celebrates its 125th Anniversary, marking over a century of unforgettable moments, triumphs, and unwavering support from the Bluebirds faithful. Founded in 1899, the club has built a rich history, from its 1927 FA Cup victory—making Cardiff City the only non-English club to win the competition.
Cardiff City FC teamed up with Cardiff Bus for a marketing deal to celebrate the anniversary with a full coverage and bespoke wrap on a double decker bus. Having plenty of years of experience under our belt working with large scale vehicles, Popin were ready to step up to the plate and deliver on a show stopping project.
Blue is the New Orange
With Cardiff Bus vehicles sporting the well know orange paint jobs, Popin utilised a 3M IJ280mc printed wrap to transform the bus to its new Cardiff City FC colour scheme with the additional text elements added afterwards. Rated for 6-8 years, the 3M film will help ensure the wrap will endure the elements for years to come and keep the Bluebird bus nice and vibrant!
