Abstract
A covering apparatus (10) includes a cutter (12), an applicator (14) and a continuous length of removable cover material (16). The cutter (12) is adapted to cut off a discrete section (50) of cover material, and the applicator (14) applies the discrete section (50) to a printed media/ticket substrate (52). The covering apparatus (10) may be mounted adjacent to a printer (108) and creates a complete, covered ticket in response to a ticket substrate (52) being ejected from the printer (108) into the covering apparatus.
