His innovative approach and the thoughtfulness behind his creations have led to many remarkable accomplishments. Notable among these are his wraps on one of only six cover car box designs for Knifeless Tape, numerous magazine covers and featured articles, and top design awards. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, he was crowned "King of the Wrap World" and received a prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021 from his industry peers.
Kevin's expertise is further underscored by his extensive certifications from nearly every manufacturer, keeping PG NOLA™ continuously engaged in commercial and fleet work color change vehicle wrap installs. His true specialty, however, is crafting custom-designed and multi-layered wrap installations that are nothing short of artistry.

Meet Dan Bulat
Element Graphics & Design
Mokena, IL (Chicago)
Dan Bulat started in the graphic business 27 years ago as a one-man business. After graduating from college with a BA in Graphic Design and Business, he decided to turn his two passions into a business, combining graphic design and vehicles. From the very beginning, the majority of work coming in was for signs and banners. However, that did not stop Dan from continuing to pursue the vehicle market. He tirelessly taught himself to install lettering and graphics on vehicles. Working toward his main goal of opening his own shop, Dan moved his business out of his house, purchased a brand-new building and continued building what has now become Element Graphics and Design, Inc., a very successful Graphic shop, specializing in Fleet vehicles. Dan and his staff of installers hold several industry certifications. In 2015 Dan started a wrap tool company called Magstrapz. He is the creator of the Magstrapz, Magbandz and MagGripz wrapping tools. Dan saw a need for these products in his own shop and felt that the industry would benefit from them as well. Today Magstrapz brand are being sold to wrappers worldwide. Dan’s passion for the industry brought him to become involved with ORAFOL® and all aspects related to growing and educating the wrapping industry.
