Definitions
- “Packaged goods” in the sense of the invention are to be understood to mean objects with one or more pieces or also pourable or scatterable materials.
- the invention relates to packaged goods from the tobacco processing industry and here preferably cigarettes and filter cigarettes, which are usually used in block-like formation in successive steps
- the individual packaging components are provided in the form of inserts or overlays or are wrapped in the form of inner and outer envelope blanks, depending on the type of materials used, packaging containers in the form of so-called soft cup packs or hard cup packs (hinged lid) are obtained.
- the object of the invention is to make the originality of an individual packaging container recognizable in order to prevent counterfeiting.
- This object is achieved according to the invention in that individual packaging components are provided with preferably random characteristic identification features and at least one packaging component is provided with an identification feature forming a cryptographic composition of the individual characteristic identification features.
- the identification features can be applied as random numbers, visible or invisible, in plain text or barcode. The application itself can be carried out, for example, by pressure, optically (laser), magnetically, electrically (conductivity) or in another way.
- a corresponding assignment of the material identifiers of the individual packaging components to the cryptographically composed packaging code or comparison code, which can be detected by a reading device, can be realized according to a further development in that the packaging components enter the packaging process with characteristic identification features applied before the packaging process and the finished packaging container with the cryptographic composite identifier is provided.
- An alternative procedure consists in that the random characteristic marking features are applied to the supplied packaging components during the course of the packaging process and the cryptographically composed labeling feature is applied to an outer or externally readable packaging component of the assembled packaging container.
- the random characteristic marking features are applied to the supplied packaging components during the course of the packaging process and the cryptographically composed labeling feature is applied to an outer or externally readable packaging component of the assembled packaging container.
- a selected procedure consists in that the labeling features of the packaging components are preferably applied to an inner wrap, an overlaid collar, an outer wrap, a tear strip and a transparent outer wrapping of the packaging container during the course of the packaging process.
- the individual packaging components are expediently brought together with the goods to be packed as they go through the packaging process.
- the cryptographically composed identification feature include additional production-related identification features.
- identification features can be indications of the production date, the production location and the operator of the individual packaging container, for example, so that the reader can carry out a plausibility analysis of the other data in addition to the comparison code for the individual packaging components.
- the reader may only allow a package code once, i.e. if the same code is repeated, it will be considered invalid.
- a preferred identification method should be designed in such a way that at least one of the identification features, preferably the cryptographically composed identification feature, can be read from the outside.
- a selection of the marking means - based on the material properties of the respective packaging component - is made in such a way that a laser for a conveying element for an internal wrap, a printer for a collar, a laser for a conveying element for an external wrap, a A laser for the application of characteristic identification features or a cryptographically composed identification feature is assigned to a conveying member for a tear strip, a printer and a conveying member for assembled and cellophane-coated packaging containers.
- the advantage achieved by the invention is that deviations from the original assignment of individual packaging components to an individual packaging container produced therefrom can be identified by identifying and comparing individual component-specific identification features and a cryptographic identification feature of the packaging container, so that indications of illegally manufactured or manipulated products in terms of content and packaging.
- the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawing.
- FIG. 1 shows the first part of a conveyor and packaging line for cigarettes with the labeling means assigned to the supplied packaging components
- FIG. 2 shows a second section for packaging cigarettes
- FIG. 3 shows the schematic procedure of the marking means for two packaging and film wrapping machines combined in the packaging process
- Figure 4 shows a finished cigarette pack with the at different points
- FIG. 5 shows the use of a reading device for reading and comparing the identification features on the packaging components and the overall packaging code generated therefrom.
- cigarettes are removed from magazine shafts 3 in a known manner in a block forming station 1 from a packaging machine (not shown in detail) and, in a defined number, are put together to form a packaging-appropriate block formation and transported in the form of successive cigarette blocks 4 in the direction of arrow 6 and thereby packed by merging with individual packaging components using numerous packaging tools and conveyors.
- a first conveying device 7 feeds a tinfoil sheet processed into an inner wrap 8 of the cigarette block 4, to which a marking means 9 in the form of a laser is assigned, which according to FIG. 3 is a function of a clock and position signal of the packaging machine 2 monitored by a control unit 11 applies the first identification feature 12 according to FIG. 4 to the inner wrap 8.
- this identification feature 12 is positioned in the course of the further packaging process along the conveyor track 6 below the front of a hinged lid 13 of the finished cigarette pack 14 according to FIG.
- the wrapped cigarette blocks 4 arrive at a conveyor element 16 designed as a turntable, which can be designed, for example, in accordance with the arrangement shown in the published EP application 0 856467 and to which a so-called collar 17 is also fed in the manner shown there.
- a turntable 21, designed as a belt conveyor, for feeding outer wrap blanks 23 is assigned to a turntable 21 that follows in the conveying direction and is also disclosed in the aforementioned publication.
- this Conveyor member 22 is in turn associated with a further marking means 24 formed by a laser, which provides the outer wrap 23 with a marking feature 26 according to FIG. 4 appearing on a narrow side of the finished cigarette packet 14.
- the cigarette packs, which are assembled with the outer insert 23 for the hard cup pack, pass via a linear conveyor 27 serving as a drying section and a transfer drum 28 into a stack magazine 29, which forms a link to a subsequent cellophane machine 31 according to FIG. 2.
- a film web 32 and a tear strip 33 are fed to the main packaging web (conveying direction 6), with the corresponding conveying members 34 marking means 36 designed as printing units for applying marking features 35 and 37 to the film web 32 or the tear strip 33 according to FIG 4 are assigned.
- marking means 36 designed as printing units for applying marking features 35 and 37 to the film web 32 or the tear strip 33 according to FIG 4 are assigned.
- the finished cigarette packs 14 arrive at a belt-shaped conveying element 39 which is provided with a marking means 41 designed as a laser for applying a marking element 12 according to FIG. 19, 26, 35, 37 generated or cryptographically composed, an individual packing code forming identification feature 42 according to Figure 4 is assigned.
- a reader 44 provided with a display 43 according to FIG.
- a marking laser of conventional design for example from the company IWKmaschinestechnik GmbH, DE, can be used as the marking means for applying the marking features 12, 26 and 42.
- a laser from Domino Laser Inc. for example, is suitable for applying the identification feature 42 as a packaging code, by means of which a removal of material from the cut material on the inside of the cellophane sleeve is reflected in a manner that is readable from the outside.
- the reader used to read the identification features may only allow a packaging code 42 once, i. H. if a package code that has been determined is repeated, it is considered invalid. It should also be possible to coordinate the readers centrally with one another at regular intervals. This is necessary to rule out the possibility of illegally producing multiple packs with the same characteristics.
