Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing custom-cut film coverings to a customer includes providing to an input device or kiosk information relating to a desired film pattern for an object such as a vehicle window. Once the information is inputted, it may be confirmed, stored, and transferred to a pattern producing mechanism which initiates the operation of a cutter/plotter or printer. The printer generates a paper copy of the desired pattern, while the cutter/plotter generates a film covering substantially corresponding to the desired object pattern.
