Omega-Skinz 2.0 World Record Attempt

New product innovations from Omega-Skinz

Our car wrap brand Omega-Skinz is going all out with two new novelties! They are:

1. Omega-Skinz 2.0

A first in the car wrap world: Omega-Skinz is launching a new generation of wrap films. Omega-Skinz 2.0 with an adhesive with even higher adhesive strength. And boy does it work: the new film was used during the world record attempt at car wrapping on 11 April 2025. The record was pulverised to just 19 minutes and 11 seconds for a full car wrap. That is more than three-and-a-half minutes faster than the previous record, which stood at 22 minutes and 56 seconds.

2. Omega-Skinz Paint Protection Films

The second product innovation is the Omega-Skinz Paint Protection Films. Transparent films that protect your car’s paintwork from stone chips and scratches. The protection films are a unique addition to their range.

New Omega-Skinz marketing tools

In addition to new products, the brand is also launching new marketing tools to further support car wrappers.

1. New Display 'Shade Parade'

Combining sleek design with functionality, the new display gives each colour the attention it deserves. Made of robust 6mm Di-Bond, the display hangs securely on the wall thanks to an aluminium spacer frame at the back. The 28 carefully placed holes contain small screws where the shapes hang loosely. So you can easily pick a colour and show it directly to the customer.

2. Colour Craze

Omega-Skinz launch their very first colour fan: OS Colour Craze with all films! The colours are nicely arranged based on gradient, so the colours reinforce each other in hue and appearance. The fan layout makes it easier to judge and compare them. Hold them against a mirror or surface to see how the result will look. Handy and flexible.
