Abstract

The method involves applying the numberings (2) on a printed sheet (10) in multiple printed panels. A document (1) e.g. safety document such as credit card, is laminated. The individual numbering is ordered on the inside after laminating the document. The individual numbering is protected by an overlay foil. The numberings are applied by using an electromechanical numbering work with a safety printing ink on a printed sheet. An independent claim is also included for a document with a numbering.

Description

object The invention is a laminated document, especially in shape a credit card, an ID card or a badge and The same security document with at least one numbering.

In the scriptures DE 14 86 894 C , Giori (12.2.1966), EP 0 061 795 B1 , Shu-En Hsu, De La Rue Giori SA (27.3.1981), EP 0 160 504 B2 , Whitehead et al, Thomas De La Rue & Company Ltd. (04.27.1984), EP 0 825 036 B1 , Mürl, Giesecke & Devrient GmbH (19.8.1996) and EP 0 906 834 B1 , Mürl, Giesecke & Devrient GmbH (17.9.1997) are various numbering and numbering procedures for numbering of a data carriers, such as a security, a badge, a banknote or the like.

Corresponding This prior art are usually mechanical numbering with Security inks or security colors used and it will be the usually consecutive Numbers on multiple uses, so sheets with typically greater 30 to about 60 individual documents applied.

The usual Numbering inks, or stamp colors, are thereby designed for the respective substrates. In the case of banknote substrates These are cotton-containing papers up to oPP substrates in the case of polymeric banknote substrates.

In US 2004/0047490 A1 describes a method and a system, in one embodiment a machine-readable code on the map an index to a database wearing, the one information about contains an access permit. A reader extracts the code from the card when the card carrier releases it for one Validation presented.

The The above documents are common that multiple benefits first a neutral card is produced by printing an inner layer and this multilayer structure is laminated. After lamination this card will be retrofitted personalized. Such personalization takes place, for example in that individual information with a laser beam writer on the map surface or one of the inner layers is written.

Of course it is it is also known here, already in the printing of one of the inner layers to apply personalized information to the card when printing. However, the introduction of a consecutive numbering was so far not yet known.

task The present invention is the cost-effective production of a laminated Document with an internal numbering to increase the. counterfeit protection and easy control on fake or manipulation.

The Task is by the technical teaching of the procedure and a solved by the method produced document.

The Invention accordingly a laminated document, especially in the form of a credit card, an ID card or ID card and the like security document with at least one arranged under a cover layer numbering.

The Numbering can be in analogy to banknumber pagination in multiple use be mounted so that after lamination and punching the at least one numbering well against environmental influences at least one so-called overlay foil is arranged protected and the respective one Numbering content in the course of graphical and / or electronic Personalization of the laminated document is detected optoelectronically and with at least one other personalization information in a mathematical relationship is brought and thus a control on adulteration or forgery of the document or a feature of the document.

According to the invention was now found that almost unchanged numbering or Stamping colors also for polymeric signatures made of PVC, ABS, PET-G or PMMA or PC can be used if this as in the card printing industry or in the Card lamination industry with a correspondingly satin matt to rough surface are formed. The drying process must be at the respective numbering speed be adapted.

In addition, negative pressures be applied by screen printing or offset printing, the degree of adhesion improve or accelerate the drying process.

In The invention preferably uses a consecutive number and opto-electronically read and in Personalisiervorgang means at least linked to a mathematical algorithm such that a finished document with knowledge of this at least one mathematical Algorithm as true or false in the sense of forgery or falsification can be recognized.

In the simplest case of a mathematical Algorithm can be the 1: 1 mapping of this at least one numbering or part of it mapped. Thus, this at least one numbering or part of it represents a public key.

Because usual numbering are formed from alphanumeric elements, playing a delamination in the field of applied printing inks no material or negative role.

Important So that is the numbering while printing a Inner layer of the card takes place. After the lamination of the card is This print is, so to speak, "sealed" and protected inside arranged the card and can not from the outside - without significant Effort and risk of damage the card - to be manipulated.

For the attachment the numbering on one of the inner layers of the card, there are several, preferred versions:

1. Printing Overlay Slides:

at Using one or two overlay slides can make this mirror image be printed with a numbering mechanism and in use of two overlay slides can be the second inner overlay slide normally printed or stamped.

2. Printing a core foil:

It can Here is a core sheet with a from the. Banknote printing known Numbering be printed.

It is a mechanical numbering system of 30 to 80 electromechanical punches, which the serial serial numbers with a fast-drying Print ink on the core foil.

Of the Customer receives then all cards with all printed serial numbers minus the Committee - this number is called him - and then he knows which cards with which serial numbers he has received.

3. Numbering with single stamping movement instead of with multiple electromechanical numbering mechanism:

According to the invention is a Single stamping used; which is capable of numbering in exact position one behind the other on an overlay and / or core foil to apply. Such a procedure is much easier adjustable to different punch positions and can also Individually controlled electronically very well.

4. Production:

On a sheet with dimensions of 300 × 500 mm are 24 or on one double sheet with 600 × 500 mm are 48 benefits included. There will be one or more of the Inner layers with a consecutive serial number by means of a numbering mechanism printed. Subsequently, will the production of the card continued until a finished laminated, neutral card created with an internal numbering is.

These one-time number can just be a serial number, she can but also have a date, and a time.

As well For example, the numbering can include an algorithm that works with others linked to individual map data and stored in a chip arranged on the card.

Such an embodiment will be described below:
After laminating the 24er or 48er sheets, they are punched out and from this individual cards are formed.

On the single card can normally be seen the number. at the subsequent personalization is integrated into the card structure Chip used as a dual-interface or RFID chip or only contracted is formed. Likewise, only a magnetic stripe to be available.

The integrated serial number is read out and from it a hash value or an algorithm formed: The readout can be optoelectronic or by OCR reader. The value read out can be used with others linked to personalized information. The linked value can then stored in the chip integrated in the card or be stored in an external database.

It can also be stored in the chip value by means of a laser writer to be written on the card.

To check the Card, the value is read from the database and with the in Chip stored value compared.

It is provided in one embodiment of the invention to use a printable, visible ink as the ink for the numbering, so that the numbering after completion of the Card in the card structure is well readable.

hereupon However, the invention is not limited. It can also be provided be, fluorescent, luminescent or anti-Stokes pigments to use. The reading of the numbering (and the visual recognition) can therefore be done in the non-visible area.

Some embodiments The invention will be described below with reference to the drawing figures.

there demonstrate:

1 : a schematic representation of a document according to the invention ( 1 ) in plan view;

2 : a schematic representation of a document ( 1 ) in section AB and

3 : a schematic representation of a printed sheet ( 10 ) with numbering ( 2 ).

In 1 is shown on a laminated document 1 a numbering 2 can also be attached several times and is visible from the outside. As a result, the numbering 2a , b, c exist. It is also shown that the numbering directly into the field for the personalized data 3 is integrated to protect this field against subsequent manipulation. The top of the card or document 1 is by at least one transparent or partially transparent cover sheet 9 formed, which the inside numberings 2a -C protects against external influences.

In addition to personalized data 3 is also a chip 4 integrated in the card structure. This shows the 2 with indication of the further layer structure of the map. They are two parallel core layers 7 . 8th present, with the numbering 2 on one side of the core situation 7 is printed.

However, it may also be provided that the numbering on the inside of the overlay slide 5 is printed.

The 3 shows a pressure floor 10 with several cards or documents 1 in multiple use. It is important that the individual numbering 2 be applied during processing of the sheet and that only after the production of the multilayer structure after 2 and then the lamination of the card or document 1 takes place.
