About Justin

Justin Pate began his wrapping career in New York City in 1996. He worked as a freelance installer wrapping everything from the windows at FAO Schwartz, barricades at Rockefeller Center, entire buildings in Time Square and especially vehicles which he specializes in. From 1996 to 2007 he wrapped over 2000 vehicles with install times drastically lower than the industry average which earned him a reputation as one of the fastest installers.

Over Justin's 26-year Career

In 2007, Justin moved to Amsterdam where he continued wrapping as a freelance installer as well as starting his career as a trainer. In 2008, he launched a 3 part DVD set that was very popular. He also started teaching workshops for 3M Europe. In 2010, Justin started the hands-on training program for Avery Dennison North America. This program has become extremely successful and is the most popular hands-on workshop in United States and Canada. Justin continues to head this program and has created the Avery Dennison CWI certification program as well. In 2024 he launched The Wrap Institute which has become the world's number one online resource for wrap training.
