New ClearCut is available to customers purchasing PPF materials from William Smith.

ClearCut allows installers to design and cut precision PPF kits for cars, vans, and fleets. With more than 400,000 vehicle patterns in its database and weekly updates, the software simplifies PPF application and helps businesses capitalise on this fast-growing market.

Key Features and Efficiencies

The ClearCut platform includes several features designed to support installers and deliver efficiencies. These features include:

  • Super nesting which automatically organises media to minimise material waste and control costs when working with premium films.
  • A mirror function which enables easy adjustment between left-hand and right-hand drive vehicles by creating mirrored versions of designs.
  • A text tool which allows custom branding or logos to be added directly into designs, creating opportunities for more personalised or branded applications.

To support the launch, William Smith’s in-house PPF specialists, Neil Manning and Michael Duffield, will provide guidance on both the materials and the ClearCut software, helping businesses maximise the system’s potential from day one.

Lindsay Hutchinson, Head of Marketing at William Smith, says, “ClearCut makes PPF more accessible to more of our customers. We recognise that precision and efficiency are crucial in this industry, and this software delivers both. It gives vehicle wrappers, sign and graphics businesses the confidence to expand into new revenue streams, knowing the technology will support them every step of the way.”

ClearCut is available to customers purchasing PPF materials from William Smith.
