Abstract
A vehicle is wrapped by a printed adhesive film where the film is also applied over doors and other areas intended not to be covered. The film is cut at the door edge and over the area by adhesively attaching a tape having a release coating on the front surface and carrying a filament along a center of the front side.
The printed film is applied over the door, the area not to be covered and the tapes and is cut along the door edge and around the area by pulling the filament from the tape so that a strip of the film at the door edge and the film over the area can be removed.
The film can be stretched and pulled away from the tape for reapplying for proper fit.

3. The method according to Claim 1 or 2 wherein tape is extensible so as to allow bending to at least one side by extension along the opposite side.
4. The method according to Claim 3 wherein the filament is spaced from both side edges to allow bending in both directions.
5. The method according to Claim 3 or 4 wherein the filament is less extendible than the tape.
6. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 5 wherein the filament is carried in or on the adhesive on the rear surface.
7. The method according to Claim 6 wherein the adhesive is arranged to hold the filament in place on the tape during bending of the tape while the tape is applied to the surface and while the filament is being pulled to effect the cutting of the film.
8. The method according to Claim 6 or 7 wherein the filament is carried on the adhesive and the filament carries a coating material compatible with the adhesive for generating an improved adhesion between the filament and the adhesive.
9. The method according to Claim 6 wherein the tape includes a substrate and the adhesive is applied onto the substrate over the filament to hold the filament against the surface of the substrate.
10. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 9 wherein the filament is spaced from the first and second side edges and the tape has a width arranged such that the filament tears through the tape along the length of the tape, when pulled to cut the film, rather than pulling from one side edge of the tape.
11. The method according to Claim 10 wherein the tearing of the tape leaves a portion of the tape along the first side edge underneath the edge of the film which is removed after the film is cut and the edge laid flat on the surface.
12. The method according to Claim 11 wherein the tape is colored to visually distinguish the portion of the tape from the film.
13. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 12 wherein a primer is applied to the surface at least underneath the tape for increased attachment of the edge of the film to the surface and wherein the adhesive of the tape has the characteristic that the tape can be pulled from the primer on the surface of the object without leaving a residue of the adhesive and without damaging the surface.
14. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 13 wherein the tape is formed of a plastics material allowing stretch of the tape greater than that of the filament.
15. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 14 wherein the tape carries a release coating on the front surface having a release characteristic relative to the pressure sensitive adhesive on the film such that the pressure sensitive adhesive on the film can be contacted onto the front surface of the tape and pulled away for repositioning.
16. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 15 wherein the tape comprises a laminate of a first substrate carrying the adhesive on a rear surface thereof and a second substrate carrying a release coating on a front surface thereof with the filament located between the first and second substrates.
17. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 16 including printing onto a second opposed surface of the film a pattern to be wrapped onto the object so as to apply the pattern around a part of the object and over the surface.
18. The method according to any one of Claims 1 to 17 wherein the object includes a surface to be wrapped with an area within the surface on which the object is not to be wrapped and wherein the method includes:
