For the fifth year, Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions has sponsored the Design-a-Bus-Wrap student art contest organized by Laketran, the public transit agency in Lake County, Ohio. The contest was open to the county’s middle and high school students – more than 110 entries were received. Students were encouraged to design a bus wrap showcasing Laketran’s 50th anniversary. The bus wrap material was donated by Avery Dennison, a Lake County-based manufacturer and distributor of pressure-sensitive adhesive graphic films. The bus was wrapped in Avery Dennison MPI 1105 Easy Apply RS supercast digital film with DOL 1360Z optically clear gloss digital overlaminate.
Avery Dennison also donated their MPI 2528 50/50 perforated film for the bus window graphics. Cleveland-based Repros Inc. provided the print production and installation of Walker’s winning design on the Laketran 2025 bus. A panel of transit employees, graphic art professionals, and community leaders served as judges for the contest. Lily Walker, a sophomore at Mentor High School, was this year’s winner for her bus design themed ‘50 Years Of A Cleaner, Greener Lake County!’ Lily’s design will be displayed on a Laketran Dial-a-Ride bus for a year.
