Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Folien und befaßt sich mit Sicherheitsmerkmalen die auf Folien aufgebracht werden können, um die Folie oder in der Folie verpackte Güter in einfacher Weise vor unauthorisierter Nachahmung zu schützen.The present invention relates to films and is concerned with security features can be applied to films, to the film or goods packed in the film in a simple way to protect against unauthorized imitation.

Es ist bekannt (GB-A-1095286) klein bedruckte Sicherheitsstreifen in Sicherheitspapier einzuarbeiten, um daraus fälschungssichere Banknoten herzustellen.It is known (GB-A-1095286) small printed security strips in security paper to work in order to produce counterfeit-proof banknotes.

Nicht nur gefälschte Banknoten, sondern auch die Herstellung und der Verkauf von gefälschten Gütern stellt ein ständig wachsendes Problem dar. Solche gefälschten Produkte werden häufig in täuschend ähnlicher Art wie das Originalgut verpackt, um so potentielle Käufer zu täuschen und sie glauben zu machen, Originale zu erstehen. Dies wirft verschiedene Probleme auf. Zum einen entgeht dem Hersteller der Originalprodukte Geschäft. Zum anderen wird der Inhaber der Rechte an dem Produkt um sein geistiges Eigentum betrogen. In vielen Fällen noch wichtiger, stellt sich die Tatsache dar, daß die Nachahmungen oft von minderer Qualität sind und so dem Hersteller einen nicht unerheblichen Imageverlust zufügen. Des weiteren kann die mindere Qualität zu Ansprüchen aus der Produkthaftung führen, so daß es dem Hersteller des Originals obliegt nachzuweisen, daß das den Schaden verursachende Gut nicht von ihm stammt. Aus diesen Gründen heraus ist es wünschenswert, Originalprodukte so zu kennzeichnen, daß es dem Verbraucher möglich wird, die Originalität zu erkennen und daß es im Schadensfall möglich ist, die Originaltät nachzuweisen.Not only fake banknotes, but also the manufacture and sale of Counterfeit goods is a growing problem. Such counterfeit goods Products are often packaged in a deceptively similar way to the original item to deceive potential buyers and make them believe they buy originals. This poses various problems. On the one hand escapes the manufacturer of the original products Business. On the other hand, the owner of the rights to the product will be around cheated on intellectual property. In many cases even more important, the fact arises that the imitations are often of inferior quality and thus give the manufacturer a inflict not insignificant image loss. Furthermore, the inferior quality too Claims resulting from product liability, so that it is the manufacturer of the original it is incumbent to prove that the good causing the damage does not come from him. For these reasons, it is desirable to label original products as that it becomes possible for the consumer to recognize the originality and that it is in the Case of damage is possible to prove the original.

Die verschiedenartigsten Güter, angefangen bei Lebensmitteln über Konsumgüter wie Compact Disc und Videokassetten bis hin zu Ersatzteilen für Autos oder Flugzeuge werden heute in Umverpackungen gehandelt. Häufig werden diese Verpackungen aus Kunststofffolien, Papier, Pappe oder Verbunden dieser Stoffe hergestellt.The most diverse goods, from food to consumer goods like compact discs and videocassettes to spare parts for cars or planes are now traded in outer packaging. Frequently, these packaging made of plastic films, paper, cardboard or composites of these substances.

Um die Originalität des Packgutes nachzuweisen wurden bereits bisher die Umverpackungen als Trägermedien für Sicherheitsmerkmale eingesetzt. So muß das Packgut selbst nicht mit dem Merkmal ausgerüstet werden und man kann z.B. mehrere Produkte eines Markenartikelherstellers mit dem markentypischen Sicherheitsmerkmal versehen, ohne in die Fertigungsabläufe jedes einzelnen Produktes eingreifen zu müssen.To prove the originality of the packaged goods, the outer packaging has already been used used as carrier media for security features. Thats how it is suppost to be Packaged goods themselves are not equipped with the feature and you can, for. several Products of a branded goods manufacturer with the brand-typical security feature without interfering with the production processes of each individual product have to.

Eine bekannte Form des Originalitätsschutzes stellt der Einsatz von sogenannten Sicherheitsetiketten oder Sicherheitsfäden mit Mikrodruck (EP-A-0 787 656) dar. Auch auf die Verpackung aufgebrachte Prägehologramme finden Einsatz genauso wie über Aufreißstreifen eingebrachte Sicherheitsmerkmale. Letztere sind nicht immer gewünscht, da die bereits im Einsatz befindlichen Verpackungsmaschinen nicht immer für den Einsatz von Aufreißstreifen ausgelegt sind. Prägehologramme Sicherheitsetiketten oder Sicherheitsfäden müssen in einem eigenem Arbeitsschritt gefertigt und appliziert werden, was Mehraufwand und damit Mehrkosten verursacht.A well-known form of originality protection is the use of so-called Security labels or security threads with micro-pressure (EP-A-0 787 656). Also Embossed holograms applied to the packaging are used as well as over Tear strip introduced security features. The latter are not always desired, because the packaging machines already in use are not always designed for the use of tear strips. embossed holograms Security labels or security threads must be in a separate step be manufactured and applied, resulting in additional effort and thus additional costs.

Es stellte sich daher die Aufgabe, auf einfache Weise ein Sicherheitsmerkmal in eine Verpackung zu integrieren, so daß keine neuen, zusätzlichen Arbeitsschritte beim Herstellen der Verpackung notwendig werden.It was therefore the task, in a simple way, a security feature in one Packaging, so that no new, additional steps in the Make the packaging necessary.

Gegenstand der Erfindung sind daher bedruckte Verpackungsfolien aus Kunststoff, gegebenenfalls im Verbund mit einem anderen Material, dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß sie auf einer Seite ein Sicherheitsmerkmal in einer Mikroschrift aufdruckt hat und aus mono-oder biaxial orientierten polymeren Wirkstoffen besteht. Dieser Aufdruck der Mikroschrift stellt ein Sicherheitsmerkmal im Sinne der Aufgabenstellung dar.The invention therefore relates to printed packaging films made of plastic, optionally in combination with another material, characterized in that she has printed a security feature on a page in a microwriting and off mono-or biaxially oriented polymeric active ingredients. This imprint of Micro writing is a security feature in the sense of the task.

Bevorzugt werden biaxial orientierte Trägerfolien aus Polypropylen, Polypropylen-Copolymer, Polypropylen-Terpolymer, Polyester oder Polyamid eingesetzt. The films are made of polypropylene, polypropylene copolymer, polypropylene terpolymer, Polyester, polyamide, polyethylene, polyethylene copolymer, Polyethylene terpolymer, polyvinyl chloride, vinyl chloride copolymer, vinyl chloride terpolymer, Polystyrene, polystyrene copolymer, polystyrene terpolymer, polycarbonate, Polyketone, polymethylmethacrylate, polymethyl methacrylate copolymers or cellophane in question. Preference is given to biaxially oriented carrier films made of polypropylene, Polypropylene copolymer, polypropylene terpolymer, polyester or polyamide used.

Auch Verbundfolien aus diesen Trägerfolien in beliebiger Kombination, sowie Schichtaufbauten dieser Trägerfolien mit anderen Materialien wie z.B. einen anderen oder gleichen Kunststoff Metall, insbesondere Aluminium, oder Ionomer kommen als Folien in Frage. Die Verbunde können dabei durch Klebstoffkaschierung Coextrusion oder Bedampfung oder einer Kombination dieser Verfahren hergestellt werden.Also composite films from these carrier films in any combination, as well Layer structures of these carrier films with other materials such. another or the same plastic metal, especially aluminum, or ionomer come as Slides in question. The composites can thereby by adhesive lamination Coextrusion or sputtering or a combination of these methods become.

Die Folien können auch als Verbundpackstoff mit Papier kaschiert sein, wobei die Kaschierung sowohl vor als auch nach der Bedruckung erfolgen kann. Das Papier kann auch der Druckträger sein, der durch eine Kunststofffolie mit zusätzlichen Eigenschaften ausgerüstet wird.The films may also be laminated as a composite with paper, the Lamination can be done both before and after the printing. The paper can also be the print carrier by a plastic film with additional Features is equipped.

Ein weiterer Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsfolie, indem man die Folie mit einer Mikroschrift bedruckt.Another object of the invention is a process for the preparation of inventive packaging film, by printing the film with a microprint.

Erfindungsgemäß werden bedruckte Verpackungsfolien so hergestellt, daß man in einem Arbeitsgang eine Trägerfolie sowohl mit dem Standarddruckbild als auch mit dem Sicherheitsmerkmal ausrüstet. So gelingt es durch die Verwendung von geeigneten Druckformen, innerhalb eines ohnehin anfallenden Arbeitsschrittes ein Sicherheitsmerkmal zu integrieren.According to the invention printed packaging films are prepared so that in one operation a carrier film both with the standard print image and with equipped with the security feature. So it succeeds by the use of suitable Printing forms, within an already occurring step Security feature to integrate.

Der Druck kann sowohl als Frontal- als auch als Konterdruck ausgeführt werden. Im Falle von Verbundfolien kann die Druckfarbe auch zwischen den Schichten angeordnet sein.The print can be done both as a frontal and as a counter-pressure. in the In the case of composite films, the ink may also be interposed between the layers be.

Die Trägerfolie kann eine Dicke zwischen 10 und 300 µm und eine Breite zwischen 20 und 2000 mm haben. Bevorzugt liegt die Dicke zwischen 15 und 60 µm und die Breite zwischen 600 und 1400 mm. The carrier film may have a thickness between 10 and 300 μm and a width between 20 and 2000 mm. Preferably, the thickness is between 15 and 60 microns and the width between 600 and 1400 mm.

Die Bedruckung der Trägerfolie kann ein- oder mehrfarbig erfolgen. Es kommt hierfür jedes für Folien einsetzbare Druckverfahren in Betracht. Insbesondere erfolgt der Druck in typischen Verpackungsdruckverfahren wie Offset-, Sieb-, Flexo-, UV-Flexo oder Tiefdruck. Insbesondere im Offset- oder Tiefdruck, ganz besonders im Tiefdruck.The printing of the carrier film can be done in one or more colors. It comes for this any suitable for film printing process into consideration. In particular, the Printing in typical packaging printing processes such as offset, screen, flexo, UV flexo or gravure. Especially in offset or gravure printing, especially in Gravure printing.

Bei den Mikroschriften handelt es sich um Schriften, deren Buchstabengröße weniger als 0,7 mm beträgt. Besonders um solche, deren Größe kleiner als 0,3 mm ist. Ganz besonders bevorzugt Größen kleiner 0,26 mm. Die Schriften können in beliebiger Weise in das Druckbild integriert werden.The micro-typefaces are fonts whose letter size is less than 0.7 mm. Especially those whose size is less than 0.3 mm. All particularly preferred sizes smaller than 0.26 mm. The fonts can be in any Be integrated into the printed image.

Die Mikroschriften können sowohl in positiver Schrift als auch in negativer Schrift gedruckt werden. Positive Schriften erhält man, indem die Linien der Buchstaben und Ziffern ausgedruckt werden. Bei negativen Schriften dagegen werden die Linien der Buchstaben und Ziffern nicht ausgedruckt, vielmehr wird nur die Umgebung der Buchstaben und Ziffern bedruckt.The micro-typefaces can be in both positive and negative writing to be printed. Positive fonts are obtained by the lines of the letters and Digits are printed. With negative writings on the other hand the lines become the letters and numbers are not printed, but only the environment of Printed letters and numbers.

Eine Ausführungsform weist Schriften in normaler Größe, d.h. größer als 0,7 mm, auf, welche wiederum aus Mikroschriften aufgebaut sind. Bei der genauen Inspizierang der "normalen" Schrift mit einer starken Lupe oder einem Mikroskop wird dann die Mikroschrift erkennbar.One embodiment has normal sized fonts, i. greater than 0.7 mm, on, which in turn are composed of micro-scripts. At the exact Inspizierang then the "normal" writing with a strong magnifying glass or a microscope becomes the Microscopic recognizable.

In vorteilhafter Weise können durch die erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsmaterialien Produkte vor Fälschungen geschützt werden. Der Sinn des Sicherheitselementes liegt darin, beim Auftreten von Fälschungen deren mangelnde Originalität gerichtlich nachweisen zu können oder aber auch dem Verbraucher, einem Zwischenhändler oder einer Behörde wie Zoll oder Polizei zu ermöglichen, mit einfachen Mitteln die Originalität eines Produktes zu erkennen. Advantageously, by the packaging materials according to the invention Products are protected against counterfeiting. The meaning of the security element lies therein, in the occurrence of counterfeits their lack of originality judicially or to the consumer, a middleman or to enable an authority such as customs or police to use simple means To recognize originality of a product.
