  • a plastic card is provided with a printing in the form of a thermal printing or laser printing (eg laser engraving).
  • laser printing eg laser engraving
  • these usually have a core component, which is covered on both sides with layers of plastic.
  • plastic cards as identity cards already exist, for example, in some states for driver's licenses, personal tickets or identity cards, etc.
  • security features such plastic cards have, in particular, security prints, holograms or kinegrams (the appearance of which changes depending on the viewing angle).
  • machine-readable encodings such as magnetic stripes (as usual with credit cards), chips, transponders, or barcodes can be present.
  • the personalization data of such cards were applied in relatively complex processes, for example by means of laser engraving, in which a middle layer of the card is described by means of laser.
  • a middle layer of the card is described by means of laser.
  • such a layer must be activated accordingly, ie the plastic must be mixed with specific, activatable via the laser components.
  • multilayer plastic cards have also been used in which a carrier layer made of plastic is provided with at least one paper layer, in particular with paper layers on both sides Core component made of plastic are glued. These paper layers are compared to the carrier layer made of plastic, which gives the card their stability, comparatively thin and are used for applying an imprint. These cards can be printed in a simpler way, in particular by means of an inkjet printer.
  • the paper layer and the print arranged on it are often covered by a cover layer, in particular a cold or hot laminated film, to protect the print against wear or removal, as well as a hologram, a Guillauchendruck on this cover sheet as security features etc. may be applied.

  • Such cards have also been used as a simple ID cards, if no particularly high security requirements are given, for example, as club cards or the like.
  • GB-A-2129371 discloses a security document with a security paper which is covered on both sides by a transparent thermoplastic polyethylene layer.
  • the two polyethylene layers are each connected to a protective layer.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a novel security document, in particular for use as identification card, credit card, driver's license, police and military identity card or membership card to propose, which can be easily and inexpensively manufactured, while having a high level of security.
  • This in connection with security documents with at least one paper layer, which is covered on both sides by a respective transparent plastic layer.
  • the solution to this problem is achieved in that it is a security paper with at least one security feature in the paper layer, and that it is a thermoplastic material in the plastic layers, which alone under application of elevated pressure and / or elevated temperature to a transparent envelope is fused, wherein at least in sections an edge region is present, in which the plastic layers of both sides of the paper layer adjoin one another directly, wherein the plastic layers exclusively comprise thermoplastic material having a glass transition point above 100 ° C.
  • the essence of the invention is therefore to be able to use on the one hand the technology of security features for papers well known from the field of security papers (banknotes, checks, share documents, etc.) directly for the field of security documents in the sense of plastic cards.

  • this matrix or transparent envelope has a zone in the edge region in which at least sections of paper have no paper layer. In other words, in this area, this transparent envelope or plastic layer is formed over the entire thickness of the card. Without leaving such a border area, a security document surrounded by plastic layers can be separated, so to speak, in the middle, by slitting the paper layer centrally parallel to the paper plane, breaking the internal cohesion of the paper layer. This is easily possible without a closed edge region, in particular, since the applied plastic layers act as levers and thus cleavage of the paper layer is possible at the lowest load.
  • the security document may be, for example, a credit card, an identification card or a membership card.

  • the plastic layers are substantially identical films, d. H. films with approximately the same physical properties. In particular, only films of identical material are used, so that an actually homogeneous block of a thermoplastic material is formed.
  • the layer of plastic layers arranged directly on each side of the paper layer does not differ from the corresponding melting point or glass transition point of the outer layers if several layers of plastic are used for the production on one side of the paper layers.
  • the innermost layer does not have a lower melting point or glass transition point than further outwardly arranged plastic layers.
