Definitions

  • the present invention relates to flexible tamper-evident tapes wherein the evidence of tampering is either a transfer of a pattern to the tampered product, revelation of a pattern on the backing of the closure, or tearing of the closure and/or the product over a wide temperature range including temperatures on the order of -320 o F (-195 o C) where other so-called tamper-evident seals do not exhibit tampering when removed and replaced later.
  • Tamper proofing has been of concern throughout the ages in the financial and security sectors. However recently it has taken on new significance due to tampering with food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
  • U.S. Patent No. 2,845,728 issued to Huber discloses a self-destroying label having pressure sensitive adhesive on one surface thereof.
  • the principal object of this invention provided for a pressure sensitive label readily applicable to items of various kinds. Yet, when an attempt is made to remove such labels from the article, the label is damaged or disintegrates to a sufficient extent so that the condition of the label, if removed from one article and applied to another, readily and visibly will serve to indicate that the label has been tampered with.
  • the invention consists of weakening means comprising either interrupted rows of incisions or substantially continuous partial incisions.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,383,121 discloses a self-adhesive copy label comprising a laminate construction consisting of a first layer such as a sheet of paper, a second pressure sensitive adhesive layer, preferentially adhered to the first layer so that it separates with the first layer when the first and third layers are separated, and a third layer consisting of a sheet of material constructed to be impact sensitive in that it carries, in normally separate states, chemicals which intermix upon impact to produce a color change in the impact area in or on the third layer itself.
  • the tamper evidence here is a color change.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,082,873 issued to Williams discloses a "laminate comprising a transparent or translucent outer sheet having an information-containing pattern printed on its inner surface, the printed inner surface having a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive film coated thereon.
  • the affinity of the adhesive for the surface to which the laminated label is adhered and to the printed pattern is greater than the affinity of the printed pattern for the outer sheet.
  • Patent No. 4,121,003 issued to Williams modifies Patent No. 4,082,873, by providing that at least a portion of the information-containing pattern be printed with an ink which is not dried into an integral film form so as to form a disruptable pattern when tampered with.
  • a portion of the pigmentation in the disruptable pattern adheres to both the top sheet as well as the adhesive layer, resulting in a "diminution of interruption of the coloration of the disruptable pattern on the top sheet sufficient to give visual indication of tampering.”
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,184,701 issued to Franklin et al discloses a label comprising "a laminate comprising a transparent or translucent outer sheet having an information containing pattern printed on its inner surface, said printed film having a discontinuous coating of transparent plasticized organic polymeric material thereon, with said printed and coated surface having a coating of a color containing pressure sensitive adhesive film thereon.”
  • the label delaminates such that at least portions of the colored adhesive in register with the transparent discontinuous plasticized polymer coating remain on the substrate to which the label is adhered.
  • the evidence of tampering is a visual change in at least portions of background color.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,608,288 issued to Spindler discloses a label comprising a cover foil with an adhesive layer laminated onto a base foil.
  • the cover foil is made of a material which is irreversibly deformable or easily breakable upon tampering. Moreover, the cover foil extends beyond the periphery of the base foil, thereby creating a safety rim which makes access to the base foil difficult.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,652,473 issued to Han discloses a tape comprising a backing having an outer and inner layer, the outer layer having sufficiently high tensile strength to maintain its integrity when removed.
  • the inner layer is thin and deformable.
  • evidence of tampering is present by way of delamination.
  • the outer layer Upon removal of the outer layer, it delaminates from the inner layer which in turn generally causes a partial stretching out of the thin inner layer.
  • the patentee suggests using printed or colored layers for additional evidence.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,721,638, 4,746,556 and 4,763,931 all issued to Matsuguchi et al disclose a multilayered adhesive material comprising various separation forces so that when particular layers are separated they cannot readhere or cannot readhere as in the original state.
  • the present invention obviates the disadvantages of the prior art in an elegant and novel manner by providing for a tamper evident closure effective at a wide range of temperatures.
  • a tamper-evident closure comprising a transparent backing layer and an adhesive layer for attaching the backing layer to a substrate characterised in that the transparent backing layer has surface adhesion properties which vary from location to location, a first adhesive layer, the adhesion of which to the backing layer varies from location to location from a first value to lower values and a second adhesive layer for attaching the first adhesive layer and the backing layer to a substrate, the first value of adhesion of the first adhesive layer to the backing being greater than the value of the adhesion of the second adhesive layer to the first adhesive layer, the arrangement being such that an attempted removal of the closure from a substrate will result in a visually detectable change in appearance, the closure providing evidence of tampering over a wide temperature range from above to below the Tg (glass transition temperature) of the adhesive layer adhering the closure to the substrate to be protected.
  • Tg glass transition temperature
  • the substrate may be a bag pouch.
  • the surface adhesion properties of the backing layer may be varied by chemical etching. Alternatively, the surface adhesion properties of the backing layer may be varied by depositing a barrier material having reduced adhesion properties such as a silicone, discontinuously on the backing layer.
  • the first adhesive layer is desirably of a different colour to the second adhesive layer.
  • the second adhesive layer may contain an ingredient which gives a colour reaction with skin.
  • the backing layer may be of polyester, polyolefin, polycarbonate or a cellulosic ester or copolymers or blends thereof.
  • the barrier material may be a silicone, a fluorocarbon, or polyoctadecyl carbonate as discrete deposits.
  • the first adhesive layer may be a polyester adhesive.
  • the second adhesive layer may be an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • the backing layer is preferably 0.5 to 3 mils (0.013 to 0.075 mm) thick.
  • the deposits of barrier material are preferably up to about 1 micron (micrometre) thick.
  • the first adhesive layer is preferably 0.1 to 0.5 mil (0.0025 to 0.013 mm) thick.
  • the second adhesive layer is preferably 0.1 to 0.4 mil (0.0025 to 0.01 mm) thick.
  • the present invention is directed to a novel tamper-evident tape for applying over the flap or other opening in pouches, bags, envelopes or other containers for currency, security documents and the like, which tape will exhibit evidence of tampering if the tape is removed to gain access to the contents and then replaced.
  • the novel tamper-evident closure of this invention 10 will comprise a transparent backing 12 carrying, in order, a discontinuous layer of a barrier material 14; a coloured laminating adhesive layer 16; and an adhesive layer 18, preferably a pressure-sensitive adhesive, which bonds aggressively to the bag, pouch, envelope or other substrate.
  • a per se known release sheet 20 is preferably provided to protect the adhesive surface from premature contact.
  • Backing layer 12 may comprise any of the per se known transparent and flexible backing or support sheets, e.g. a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate, a polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, polycarbonate, a cellulosic ester such as cellulose acetate or triacetate, etc., including copolymers or blends thereof. It may be on the order of from about 0.5 to about 3.0 mils (0.013 mm to 0.075 mm) thick, 1.0 mil (0.025 mm) being preferred.
  • the barrier material 14 which is preferably applied in a pattern but which may be randomly adhered to the backing, may comprise any material which does bond aggressively to the backing 12. Examples of such materials include silicone, fluorocarbons, Quilon (trademark of DuPont), polyoctadecyl carbonate, etc., silicone being preferred.
  • the function of the barrier material 14 is to preclude or reduce the adherence of the underlying coloured laminating adhesive layer 16 to the backing 12 in the areas where it is deposited.
  • the barrier material 14 is preferably transparent or translucent so that the underlying coloured layer 16 may be seen therethrough when viewed through the transparent backing 12.
  • the barrier material deposits may, for example, be on the order of about 1.0 micron (micrometre) thick. They may be provided on the inner surface of the backing 12 by per se known techniques such as gravure or flexible printing, spray coating, chemical etching and the like.
  • the laminating adhesive layer 16 has a greater affinity for the backing 12 than for the adhesive layer 18. Accordingly, when an effort is made to strip the tape from the substrate, the layer 16 tends to stay with the backing 12.
  • the layer 16, which contains a colour-providing material, e.g. a non-migrating dye or a pigment, may comprise any of the known laminating adhesives.
  • a colour-providing material e.g. a non-migrating dye or a pigment
  • the coloured layer 16 may comprise any of the commercially available polyester laminating adhesives in which the colour-providing material has been incorporated.
  • the thickness of the coloured layer 16 may be on the order of from about 0.1 to about 0.4 mil or 0.5 mil (.0025 to 0.01 mm or 0.013 mm), a preferred thickness being about 0.2 mil (0.0051 mm).
  • the adhesive layer 18 used to laminate the tape to the substrate, which is to be sealed may comprise an acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive formulation which adheres aggressively to the substrate.
  • the adhesive preferably includes an adhesion promoter such as an unsaturated higher fatty acid having at least 12 carbon atoms, oleic acid being illustrative. Tackifiers and/or plasticizers may also be incorporated in the acrylic adhesive to increase adhesion.
  • the layer 18 may further contain a non-migratory colour-providing material contrasting with the colour-providing material in the overlying layer 16. It may also contain a chemical reagent which, through contact with the skin of someone trying to remove the tape, produces a traceable reaction product in the skin and/or on the layer 18 itself, or on the pouch with which it is used.
  • the tape will of course be applied over the mouth or other opening in the container or other substrate to be sealed.
  • the tape is removed at a temperature above the Tg value of the layer 18, e.g. at ambient temperatures, so as to tamper with the contents, in areas where no barrier material is present, the coloured layer 16 will remain with the backing, as heretofore alluded to.
  • the coloured layer will be stripped away from the barrier, adhering to the adhesive layer 18 which remains aggressively bonded to the substrate.
  • the adhesive layer 18 will delaminate from the coloured layer 16 except where barrier layer 14 is present. At these areas, the coloured layer 16 will break from the barrier layer 14 and transfer with the adhesive layer 18.
  • a second possible evidence of tampering is that the backing is liable to tear, leaving an image on the substrate along with the evidence of tearing of the backing.
  • a third evidence which may occur is a noticeable wrinkling or distortion of the substrate.
  • the invention also extends to a tamper evident method for securing a bag pouch from tampering comprising the steps of:
  • the invention also extends to a bag pouch comprising a tamper evident closure in accordance with the present invention.
  • EXAMPLE 1 Layer Ingredient Thickness Layer 1 Mylar* (polyester film) 1 mil (0.025 mm) Layer 2 Silicone ⁇ 1 u (micron) (micrometre) Layer 3 Polyester Laminating Adhesive 0.4-0.5 mil) (0.01 to 0.013 mm) 10% Blue Pigment Layer 4 Ethylacetate Based Acrylic Adhesive 0.1-0.4 mil (0.0025 to 0.01 mm) 5% Oleic Acid Layer 5 Kraft Release Liner 4 mils (0.10 mm) * Trademark of DuPont
  • Mylar film was flexible printed with a silicone layer. The printed side was then overcoated with the laminating layer which was in turn overcoated with the adhesive layer. Lastly, a Kraft release liner was applied to the adhesive side of the aforementioned film.
  • the present invention offers a tamper evident closure over a temperature ranging from +150°F to -320°F (+66°C to -195°C).
  • tamper evident mechanisms are: transfer of a coloured pattern to the substrate, revealing of a printed pattern on the backing, tearing of the backing, colour change, wrinkling of the substrate, finger prints as well as transfer of colour to the person doing the tampering.
