Avery Dennison Sponsors Mutoh “Hands-On” School of Wrap 

(Painesville, OH) January 29, 2010 – Avery Dennison is sponsoring six Mutoh “Hands-On” School of Wrap classes around the U.S. throughout 2010. Two of the classes will take place at the Graphics & Reflective Products Division in Mentor, Ohio.

Justin Pate, a globally recognized graphic installer, will teach all of the wrap classes utilizing Avery MPI 1005 Easy Apply RS, a popular choice with installers because it is easy to use and quick to install.

"The workshops are a reflection of the work ethic that I have relied on during my 14-year career installing graphics with the highest quality, durability and efficiency,” said Pate.  “My Universal Graphics Installation System (UGIS) is a fluid, easy-to-learn platform.  It reduces mistakes and ensures quality which results in significantly lower install times.  This combination provides the installer with a decisive edge in today's graphic installation field."

“I learned more in 3 days at MUTOH’s ‘Hands On’ School of Wrap than I have in the last year and half, trying to figure things out on my own. I've already put Justin's techniques (UGIS) to use and it's amazing how much easier and faster installations go. We wrapped a bass boat in 7 hours after taking the class. My way would have taken at least 15 hrs. Unreal. Thank you.” Matt McDonald, Owner of Premier Wraps, based in Fonatan, Calif.

Pate's workshops are one of a kind. 

1. He teaches a clear, easy to understand system (UGIS) that works on any vehicle, with any material.

2. This system, along with other invaluable tips taught in the workshop, creates speed.  There is simply no other installer or workshop out there that fully understands speed wrapping and can clearly teach quality and efficiency like Justin Pate. 

3. Participants receive not only training but support and vehicle wrapping tools to take home and get started.
