As a member of The Wrap Institute, you have access to industry resources, a dedicated community of wrappers, and hundreds of instructional videos taught by wrap experts from around the world. Videos range from 2-50 minutes in length and cover every aspect of wrapping. You get unlimited access to videos that cover not only basic skills, but also cutting-edge techniques as the wrap industry advances - from selling and prep work, to post-heating and aftercare, and everything in between. Troubleshoot a specific technique, or create your own lineup of videos and view a wrap from beginning to end. We’re always adding new videos to the site and we love to hear recommendations from our members.

We offer a few membership subscription options; choose a one-year ($149) or two-year subscription ($199), or choose a month-to-month subscription (16.99 per month). Each subscription gives you unlimited access to our video database and resources, including all new videos added, for the duration of your subscription.

TWI Members also get access to premium content such as PDF downloads, the Forum, industry news and specials.

Our Story

Justin Pate and Scott Bechtel founded the Wrap Institute in the fall of 2013. Justin, a seasoned and passionate wrap instructor, envisioned a new way to learn about wrapping - accessible to all, without the costs and coordination of attending an in-person workshop. Scott, an entrepreneur and wrap enthusiast with a shop of his own, had the same idea of creating an online platform for learning how to wrap when it came time to train newly-hired installers. His shop's schedule was packed and it put a strain on his manpower to slow down production to catch an unseasoned installer up to speed. But there were no other options, a comprehensive training resource just didn't exist.

Justin and Scott were introduced in 2010. As they talked, they eventually realized their shared interest in developing an online learning platform for wrapping... and even better, had each purchased a domain name for the idea. One of them purchased wrapinstitute.com, and the other purchased thewrapinstitute.com. There was no debating the name, and very soon after they got to work curating video ideas and site components to build what you now know as The Wrap Institute.

The site operates with one main objective - to help improve the wrap installation industry worldwide by providing access to tips, tools and techniques that result in efficient installations, high-quality wraps and professional results. TWI is committed to delivering 100-percent neutral content so that the platform remains driven by learning, without any hidden agendas.

Meet Justin

Justin Pate is passionate about wrapping. He has wrapped anything that can be wrapped, particularly vehicles, with over 3100 completed over his 20-year career. He began installing in New York City in 1996 then moved to Amsterdam in 2007. Learning how to wrap both U.S. and European styles helped him form a unique wrapping system called UGIS: Universal Graphic Installation System, that he introduced in his workshops and popular DVD series. With UGIS, installers can learn how to wrap in significantly lower times than the industry average with higher quality and durability.

In 2011, Justin began teaching workshops full time and he continues to travel the world teaching to this day. He teaches hands-on workshops for Avery Dennison North America and created their certification program. While traveling, Justin picks up new tools and techniques which he immediately introduces into his workshops and now, into the video library of The Wrap Institute.

Justin is extremely passionate about TWI and is fully committed to making it the most informative, cutting edge resource for installers worldwide - which is why you'll find five new videos posted to the site each week. The video library content is constantly evolving, which mirrors the pace at which he learns. In fact, the TWI slogan represents that mentality and the most important lesson he has learned throughout his career, “Never Stop Learning”. Visit justinpate.net

LukeLuke Bentley SignPro "I recently joined The Wrap Institute and I think it is really great! Being from Australia there is not much help and training around so I have found it very useful! …. Thank you heaps! …. I appreciate it and your website it is great!"	SimónSimón Polakof City Sign "I really like The Wrap Institute and I believe in it 100%. At our shop, we use TWI ourselves in our Monday meetings where we tend to take one or two videos and watch them together and then talk about it in a group. It gets the conversation started and new ideas pop up. Keep up the good work!"
JoeJoe Nasr COVER UP Solution "Not only has The Wrap Institute been EXTREMELY helpful for me as someone new to this industry, it has saved me literally thousands of dollars because I don't have to pay another expert to teach me the techniques that you cover in your videos!"	DerekDerek Rewuki "Without TWI videos I would not be here. I wouldn't have approval from this industry and I can't thank Justin and you guys enough for what you've done for me."
BradBrad Rapone TradeWraps "Before I joined The Wrap Institute, it would take me one year to get a new installer up to the level required for me to be comfortable with allowing them to wrap on their own. Since I started using TWI videos, I have seen this training time cut in half."	SeanSean Tomlin Designer Wraps "It's a wonderful and valuable investment for my shop."
