Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gegenstand mit wenigstens einer mit einer Druckfarbe bedruckten Fläche, wobei die Farbe der bedruckten Fläche in normalem Licht sichtbar ist.The invention relates to an object with at least one with Ink printed area, with the color of the printed area in normal light is visible.

Getränkedosen und -flaschen sind oft mit einem charakteristischen Farbmuster bedruckt, welches dem Konsumenten sofort ins Auge springt und ihn zum Kauf bzw. zur Konsumation des Produktes animiert.Beverage cans and bottles are often with a characteristic color pattern printed, which immediately catches the eye of the consumer and makes him buy or encouraged to consume the product.

In dunkeln Lokalitäten wie z.B. in Nachtclubs und Bars sind die in normalem Licht gut sichtbaren Farbmuster oft nur schwach erkennbar.In dark locations such as in night clubs and bars they are normal Color patterns that are easily visible to light are often poorly recognizable.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Gegenstand der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass ein in normalem Licht erkennbares Farbmuster auch in dunkler Umgebung sichtbar wird.The invention is based, an object of the beginning mentioned type so that a recognizable in normal light Color pattern is also visible in dark surroundings.

Zur erfindungsgemässen Lösung der Aufgabe führt, dass die Fläche zusätzlich mit einem in normalem Licht transparenten und in ultraviolettem (UV) Licht farbig fluoreszierenden Lack bedruckt ist.To achieve the object according to the invention, the surface additionally with a transparent in normal light and in ultraviolet (UV) light colored fluorescent lacquer is printed.

Bei einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Druckfarbe und der im UV-Licht farbig fluoreszierende Lack übereinander gedruckt. In gewissen Fällen ist es aber auch denkbar, dass die Druckfarbe und der im UV-Licht farbig fluoreszierende Lack als Mischung aufgedruckt sind.In a first preferred embodiment, the printing ink and the im UV light colored fluorescent lacquer printed on top of each other. In certain cases but it is also conceivable that the printing ink and that colored in UV light fluorescent lacquer are printed as a mixture.

In vielen Fällen ist es wünschenswert, dass ein bestimmtes, im sichtbaren Licht erkennbares Farbmuster im wesentlichen identisch ist mit dem Farbmuster, welches sich im UV-Licht zeigt. Um diesen Effekt zu erzielen, wird deshalb für jede Druckfarbe der im UV-Licht farbig fluoreszierende Lack so ausgewählt, dass er im UV-Licht eine im wesentlichen gleiche Farbe wie die Druckfarbe im normalen Licht hat.In many cases it is desirable to have a specific, visible light recognizable color pattern is essentially identical to the color pattern, which shows up in UV light. To achieve this effect, therefore, for each printing color of the varnish fluorescent colored in UV light is selected so that it is essentially the same color in UV light as the printing ink in has normal light.

Der erfindungsgemässe Gegenstand kann beispielsweise ein aus zwei Kunststofffilmen zusammengefügtes Laminat sein, wobei einer der beiden Kunststofffilme auf der gegen die Innenseite des Laminates gerichtete Seite bedruckt ist.The object according to the invention can, for example, be one of two Plastic films be assembled laminate, one of the two Plastic films on the side facing the inside of the laminate is printed.

Bei einem besonders bevorzugten Laminat ist wenigstens einer der beiden Kunststofffilme aus heiss schrumpfbarem orientiertem Polypropylen.In a particularly preferred laminate, at least one of the two Plastic films made of hot shrinkable oriented polypropylene.

Die bedruckten Folienlaminate eignen sich insbesondere zum Etikettieren von Behältern wie Getränkedosen und -flaschen.The printed film laminates are particularly suitable for labeling Containers such as beverage cans and bottles.

A laminate 10 shown in FIG. 1 has the following structure:
12
transparent, hot shrinkable film made of oriented polypropylene, 15 µm thick
14
first printing ink, for example black
16
transparent lacquer with a second color that fluoresces in UV light and appears, for example, as red
18

Die transparente, heiss schrumpfbare Folie12 ist die für den Betrachter sichtbare Seite des Laminates 10. Die weisse opake Folie 28 ist die Seite des Laminates 10, die später z.B. gegen die Oberfläche eines zu etikttierenden Behälters gerichtet ist.The transparent, hot shrinkable film12 is for the viewer visible side of the laminate 10. The white opaque film 28 is the side of the Laminates 10, which e.g. against the surface of a label Container is directed.

Da die gegen die Innenseite des Laminates 10 gerichtete Seite der transparenten Folie 12 bedruckt wird, ist es selbstverständlich, dass zuerst der im UV-Licht farbig fluoreszierende Lack 16, 20 und erst danach die entsprechende Druckfarbe 18, 22 aufgetragen wird.Since the side facing the inside of the laminate 10 transparent film 12 is printed, it goes without saying that the first varnish 16, 20 fluorescent colored in UV light and only then appropriate printing ink 18, 22 is applied.

Das Bedrucken der transparenten, heiss schrumpfbaren Folie 12 und das Herstellen des Laminates 10 kann auf konventionelle Art erfolgen.The printing of the transparent, hot shrinkable film 12 and that The laminate 10 can be produced in a conventional manner.

Beim ersten Druckvorgang wird die erste Druckfarbe 14, in vielen Fällen schwarz, aufgetragen. Mit der ersten Druckfarbe werden auch Druckmarken für die nachfolgenden Druckvorgänge gesetzt. In nachfolgenden Schritten werden definierte Oberflächenbereiche mit Farben bedruckt, wobei jeweils der im UV-Licht fluoreszierende Lack 16, 20 und anschliessend die entsprechende Druckfarbe 18,22 genau übereinander liegend aufgetragen wird. In dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die vierte Druckfarbe 24 weiss und enthält einen im UV-Licht fluoreszierenden Aufheller.The first printing process turns the first printing ink 14, in many cases black, applied. With the first printing ink also printing marks for the subsequent printing processes are set. In subsequent steps Defined surface areas printed with colors, each in UV light fluorescent lacquer 16, 20 and then the corresponding Printing ink 18,22 is applied exactly one above the other. In the in Fig. 1 embodiment shown, the fourth printing ink 24 is white and contains a brightener that fluoresces in UV light.

Die bedruckte transparente und heiss schrumpfbare Folie 12 wird mittels eines handelsüblichen Klebstoffes 26 mit der weissen opaken Folie 28 laminiert.The printed transparent and hot shrinkable film 12 is by means of a commercially available adhesive 26 laminated with the white opaque film 28.

Das in Fig. 1 beschriebene Laminat ist besonders geeignet zur Etikettierung von Getränkedosen. Zu diesem Zweck wird das Laminat in Rollenform geliefert und kann auf einer Standardetikettiermaschine auf die Umfangsseite der Dosen aufgebracht werden. Zur Fixierung wird ein üblicher Heissschmelzkleber verwendet. Die Dosen werden anschliessend heisser Luft ausgesetzt, wobei die transparente orientierte Polypropylenfolie schrumpft und sich hierbei eng an die Dosenoberfläche anlegt. Das Schrumpfen der Folie bewirkt, dass das Laminat die Oberflächenkonturen der Dose annimmt.The laminate described in Fig. 1 is particularly suitable for labeling of beverage cans. For this purpose the laminate is supplied in roll form and can be placed on the circumferential side of the cans on a standard labeling machine be applied. A conventional hot melt adhesive is used for fixation used. The cans are then exposed to hot air, the transparent oriented polypropylene film shrinks and closely adheres to the Can surface creates. The shrinking of the film causes the laminate takes on the surface contours of the can.

Das Laminat muss den heissen Abfüllbedingungen des Produktes und der Feuchtigkeit während des Verpackungsprozesses standhalten. Der erfindungsgemässe Laminataufbau erfüllt diese Bedingungen.The laminate must meet the hot filling conditions of the product and the Withstand moisture during the packaging process. The Laminate structure according to the invention fulfills these conditions.

Die im UV-Licht farbig fluoreszierenden Lacke 16, 20 sind im normalen Licht transparent. Beim Bestrahlen mit UV-Licht wird sichtbares Licht ausgestrahlt, so dass unter diesen Bedingungen eine Farbe erkennbar wird. Die Farbe des ausgestrahlten Lichtes kann in bekannter Weise durch eine entsprechende Lackformulierung eingestellt werden, so dass der Lack 16 unter UV-Bestrahlung beispielsweise rot und der Lack 20 beispielsweise gelb erscheint.The varnishes 16, 20 which are fluorescent in UV light are in normal light transparent. When irradiated with UV light, visible light is emitted, see above that a color becomes recognizable under these conditions. The color of the emitted light can in a known manner by an appropriate Paint formulation can be adjusted so that the paint 16 under UV radiation for example red and the lacquer 20 appears for example yellow.

Im vorliegenden Beispiel sind die Lacke 16, 20 und die entsprechenden Druckfarben 18, 22 exakt (in register) übereinander gedruckt. Das Design einer mit dem aufgeschrumpftem Laminat 10 versehenen Getränkedose erscheint daher im Tageslicht normal bedruckt. Das Design wird jedoch hell fluoreszierend, wenn die Dose der Strahlung einer UV-Lichtquelle ausgesetzt ist. Dies hat eine beträchtliche Wirkung auf den Konsumenten und kann beispielsweise zu einem Umsatz derartiger Getränkedosen und Nachtclubs und Bars führen.In the present example, the paints 16, 20 and the corresponding ones Printing inks 18, 22 printed exactly one above the other (in register). The design of one with the shrink-wrapped laminate 10 beverage can appears therefore normally printed in daylight. However, the design becomes light fluorescent when the can is exposed to radiation from a UV light source is. This has a significant impact on the consumer and can for example on sales of such beverage cans and night clubs and Run bars.
