Keiichi Hasegawa, C17 Media, and teammate Blake Madsen, Remix Wraps, were first-place winners in last month’s PDAA Pro Team Relay at PRINTING United 2019. The competition tested two-person teams in four graphics installation stations: a car’s quarter panel, rivet wall, a two-panel graphic on a rough texture surface, and two-color vinyl on acrylic. The first-place team shared $2,000 in prize money, while second place (Kristin Lanzarone, WrapStar Pro, and Krystal Miszewski, Candy Wraps Orlando) received Orafol 2-Go Combo Packs, and third place (Kim Magraw, Vivid Sign & Design, and Rob Ivers, Rob Ivers Inc.) won $250 gift certificates from Yellotools.
