Embracing Diversity in the Wide-Format Printing World
WrapStar Pro takes the pledge with U.N.I.T.E. Together as the newest board member. 

As I step into my new role as a board member of U.N.I.T.E. Together, I am both honored and inspired by the organization’s commitment to fostering a workplace that celebrates diversity and empowers every individual. Through my experiences and passion for inclusivity, I am dedicated to furthering U.N.I.T.E. Together’s mission in the wide-format printing industry.

Championing Inclusivity from Within:

U.N.I.T.E. Together’s dedication to embracing all races, genders, sexual orientations, and abilities is evident in its culture and practices. As a board member, I am excited to contribute to the organization’s ongoing efforts to create an environment where every employee is welcomed, valued, and supported.

A Female Business Owner in a Male-Dominated Industry:

Entering the printing world as a female business owner was a path filled with challenges and opportunities. I refused to be limited by stereotypes or prejudices and instead forged ahead, proving that gender should never define one’s capabilities or potential.

Dealing with Disabilities: A Personal Journey of Adaptability and Strength

As the owner of WrapStar Pro, I have also faced the unique challenges of my own disability, which I have kept private for most of my life. My journey has taught me that disabilities do not define a person; rather, it is the tenacity to overcome obstacles that shapes us. I am a living testament to the power of adaptability, proving that with the right support and mindset, we can accomplish remarkable achievements. As a board member, I am committed to leveraging my experiences to advocate for the empowerment of all employees, regardless of their abilities.

Our journey at WrapStar Pro has been a testament to the power of diversity. We celebrate the diverse strengths and perspectives that our team members bring to the table, including those with disabilities such as ADHD, anxiety, autism, and others. We firmly believe that true success lies in the collaboration of individuals with unique backgrounds and experiences.

Empowering Employees and Clients Alike:

By taking the U.N.I.T.E. Together pledge, we take pride in fostering an environment that supports and empowers our employees. We recognize the diverse abilities and challenges some team members face, and we strive to provide the necessary resources and accommodations to ensure their success.

Through understanding, empathy, and ongoing support, we create an atmosphere where every individual can thrive, including those with ADHD, anxiety, autism, and other diverse abilities. Our commitment to inclusivity extends beyond our organization; we treat our clients with the same love and respect that we wish to receive.

WrapStar Pro: Partnering and Pledging with U.N.I.T.E. Together

As a leader in the wide-format printing industry, WrapStar Pro is proud to partner with U.N.I.T.E. Together and take the pledge to promote diversity and inclusion. Our dedication to creating an inclusive workplace and supporting employees with various abilities aligns perfectly with U.N.I.T.E. Together’s values.

Inclusivity in the Wide-Format Printing Industry:

As a new board member of U.N.I.T.E. Together, my vision is to bring greater awareness and inclusivity to the wide-format side of the printing industry. I believe that embracing diversity should extend to every aspect of our field.

By collaborating with industry leaders like WrapStar Pro, participating in events, and sharing our experiences, we aim to create a movement that fosters inclusivity and respect across the entire printing landscape. Through partnerships and outreach, we endeavor to inspire other organizations to join us in U.N.I.T.E. mission.

A Call for Unity in Diversity:

As we look ahead, I invite all printing industry stakeholders to join hands in this transformative journey. Let us work together to dismantle barriers, overcome prejudices, and create a printing world where everyone feels welcomed, valued, and embraced.

Let’s celebrate our differences, for they are the threads that weave our vibrant tapestry of life. Together, we can shape a future where diversity is not just accepted but celebrated, and where love and compassion are at the heart of every interaction.

In Conclusion:

As a board member of U.N.I.T.E. Together, I am dedicated to championing inclusivity within the printing industry and beyond. Together with our team, partners like WrapStar Pro, and the wider community, we can create a world where everyone can shine and reach their full potential.

Join us on this extraordinary journey by taking the U.N.I.T.E. Together pledge, and let’s create a future where diversity is a cherished strength and love guides every action.

In the January- February Issue of Big Picture Magazine , there is a segment called "From The Ground Up" where Adrienne Palmer had 10 PSP's share how they launched and built their own business. Check out my 'From The Ground Up' story for WrapStar Pro. In this half page story I shared "The How's" of getting to where I am today: - How it all started - How I studied & finessed vinyl wraps ( Joanna Havey educated me quickly on Cast vs Calendered 😅) - How I branded WrapStar Pro - How I navigated being able to do it all from design, print and installs - How I taught myself designing vehicle wraps - My advise on how to start a similar business in this amazing industry. (In addition to this topic, not in the article, I'm always available to anyone who needs advice for starting up a business in this industry.) https://lnkd.in/dREzSHzE Hope everyone has a great Friday and weekend ahead! Happy 2023, work hard and kick ass! 😎🙌 #WrapStarpro #wrapstaruniversity #bigpicturemagazine #femaleownedbusiness #enterpreneur #training #certifications #wideformatprinting #vinylwrap #installers #3M #ARLON #orafol #averydennison #fellers #share #design #business

I've brought back my roots of a journalist. Except this time it's not about the motorsports industry it's about the printing and installation industry. For 2023, you will see me as an active columnist writer for Big Picture Magazine launching a six part series on "The Competitive Wrap Installer." Kick starting the first column about "Training & Certifications" in the January- February issue of BPM. Be sure to capture all six parts of The Competitive Wrap Installer series and hopefully it will be beneficial for the industry installers. Thank you to Adrienne Palmer with Big Picture Magazine for the amazing opportunity and believing in me with valuable industry content. Catch the January/February Issue here- https://lnkd.in/g86rv5fU #WrapStarpro #WrapStarUniversity #BigPictureMagazine #femaleownedbusiness #enterpreneur #training #certifications #wideformatprinting #vinylwrap #Installers #3m #arlon #orafol #averydennison

WrapStar Pro Owner, Kristin Lanzarone, Featured in the Wide-Format Impressions Magazine Issue November/December 2022. A photo captured of Kristin installing a hood wrap in the PDAA Wide Format Zone at Printing United Expo 2022. Kristin worked the Wide Format zone floor for all 3 days of the show doing product showcases of wrap materials on various substrates and judging the Orafol Hood wrap challenge. Returning back post COVID, the show was a success. Full of exhibitors and the floor covered with attendees. Looking forward to Printing United Expo 2023 in Atlanta, GA.
