Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for applying personalization information to a card-shaped data carrier.
- the invention further relates to a card-shaped data carrier which has a personalization layer and a semi-finished product for applying personalization information to a card-shaped data carrier.
- Card-shaped data carriers are used in a variety of ways and to an ever increasing extent. For example, it is possible to design the data carriers as identity cards, driver's licenses, insurance certificates, etc. In many applications, it is necessary to provide the respective data carrier with personalization information, which generally relates to the legal owner of the data carrier. It is already known to apply the personalization information in terms of printing technology to the data carrier by means of a thermal sublimation process, in which the printing ink on the print head is heated to approximately 200 ° C. and penetrates a few ⁇ m deep into the uppermost plastic layer of the data carrier. Without additional security measures, the layer generated in this way could be removed mechanically and the personalization information could thereby be manipulated.
- a protective layer which, depending on the security requirements, can contain security elements.
- the protective layer is damaged in the event of attempts at manipulation and cannot be restored to its original state by an unauthorized person due to the security elements it contains.
- One of the- Protective layer like this can be produced, for example, in the form of a varnish, which may be combined with printing features for increased security requirements.
- a thermal transfer layer which can also contain simple optically variable elements. It is also possible to apply a thin multilayer film, which may be combined with optically variable elements.
- the aforementioned methods for producing the protective layer can generally meet the security requirements for protecting the personalization information.
- these processes are associated with not inconsiderable costs due to the increased outlay or because of high material costs.
- the use of security materials after the personalization has been carried out requires strict material flow control up to a very late manufacturing stage.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of protecting personalization information of a card-shaped data carrier from manipulation with as little outlay as possible.
- the method according to the invention relates to the application of personalization information to a card-shaped data carrier by forming a personalization layer in which the personalization information is contained.
- the special feature of the method according to the invention is that the personalization layer is based on a protected feature layer is applied and a permanent and intimate connection is formed between the personalization layer and the feature layer, so that the personalization layer cannot be removed without damaging the feature layer.
- the invention has the advantage that it creates a very reliably manipulation-protected assignment of the personalization information to the associated data carrier, so that both copying of the personalization information and manipulation of the personalization information can be easily determined. It is particularly advantageous that the personalization information is protected without expensive cover foils or cover layers and the method according to the invention is therefore comparatively inexpensive. Another advantage is that the observability of the personalization information is not impaired by the measures for protection against manipulation, since the personalization layer is applied to the feature layer serving as protection against manipulation. A positive additional effect of applying the personalization layer to the feature layer is that materials for which a direct application of the personalization layer would not be possible or would be very expensive can also be used to produce the data carrier.
- the personalization layer penetrates into the feature layer, since in this way an inseparable connection can be formed between the personalization layer and the feature layer.
- the personalization layer can be applied to the feature layer in particular by means of a thermal sublimation process.
- the feature layer is applied to the data carrier before the personalization layer. brought.
- the application of the feature layer can thus be part of the virgin card production.
- the feature layer and then the personalization layer are applied to an intermediate carrier and jointly transferred to the data carrier.
- the intermediate carrier can be designed as a protective layer and can be transferred to the data carrier together with the feature layer and the personalization layer.
- the feature layer is applied with a layer thickness in the order of the depth of penetration of the personalization layer into the feature layer. This means that when the personalization layer is mechanically removed, the feature layer in the overlap area between the personalization layer and the
- the feature layer is also almost completely removed and thus this manipulation is easily recognizable.
- the feature layer can be formed in accordance with a predefinable geometric pattern. This has the advantage that an additional design option for the data carrier is available, with which, for example, a logo can be displayed.
- the feature layer is preferably applied by screen printing. On the one hand, the screen printing process is comparatively inexpensive and, on the other hand, it enables the formation of almost any geometric structure.
- the invention further relates to a card-shaped data carrier which has a personalization layer with personalization information.
- the data carrier according to the invention is characterized in that the personalization layer is applied to a feature layer protected against manipulation and is permanently and intimately connected to the feature layer, so that the personalization layer cannot be removed without damaging the feature layer.
- the feature layer can include one or more security elements
- the feature layer can have liquid crystal pigments and / or pigments fluorescent under ultraviolet light.
- the presence of the liquid crystal pigments can be determined with the naked eye without any aids. Pigments that fluoresce under ultraviolet light can also be detected relatively easily using an appropriate light source. Since in both cases the optical effects are not transferred to the copy when copying, a copied data carrier can be recognized relatively easily.
- the data carrier can be made of polyvinyl chloride or polycarbonate, for example.
- the invention also relates to a semi-finished product for applying personalization information to a card-shaped data carrier by forming a personalization layer in which the personalization information is contained.
- the semi-finished product according to the invention is characterized in that it has an intermediate carrier with a feature layer protected against manipulation, to which the personalization layer is applied and with which the personalization layer lasts. is bonded and intimately connected so that the personalization layer cannot be removed without damaging the feature layer.
- the personalization of an identification card is used as an example.
- the invention is not limited to this application, but rather relates in the same way to the personalization of any card-shaped data carriers in which protection against manipulation of the personalization information is desired.
- FIG. 1 shows a snapshot of an identification card during personalization according to a first variant of the personalization method according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows the identification card from FIG. 1 after personalization according to the first variant of the personalization method according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a snapshot of the identity card during personalization in accordance with a second variant of the personalization method according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows the identity card from FIG. 3 after personalization according to the second variant of the personalization method according to the invention.
- 1 shows a snapshot of an identification card 1 during personalization according to a first variant of the personalization method according to the invention in a schematic sectional illustration.
- the identification card 1 has a card body 2 which is made of plastic, for example of polyvinyl chloride or polycarbonate.
- a feature layer 3 is applied to the cardiac body 2.
- the feature layer 3 is screen-printed directly onto the card body 2.
- the feature layer 3 can, for example, be applied to the entire surface of the card body 2. It is also possible to apply the feature layer 3 to the card body 2 in accordance with a predetermined pattern and thus only over part of the area. In particular, it is possible to design the pattern in the form of a logo.
- the feature layer 3 is distinguished by the fact that it has one or more security elements which are intended to prevent manipulation of the feature layer 3 or a reproduction of the feature layer 3 by unauthorized third parties.
- the authenticity of the feature layer 3 can thus be checked via the presence of the security elements.
- substances that are not freely available and that cannot or at least only with difficulty be imitated by freely available substances are used to form the security elements.
- substances can be used for the manufacture or processing of which very expensive equipment or very detailed procedural knowledge is required.
- substances are used in particular, which can be clearly demonstrated in the feature layer 3 with simple means. If the security elements appear visually, preference is given to using fabrics that give an appealing visual impression.
- the substances required for the formation of the security elements are mixed with the printing ink and printed together with the latter on the card body 2 using the screen printing method.
- liquid crystal pigments can be processed.
- the liquid crystal pigments have the property of appearing more or less transparent on a light background and depending on the viewing angle and the pigment concentration and, depending on the selected color type, showing a change between two different colors. This transparency, which is dependent on the viewing angle, or the associated color change, can be observed with the naked eye on the finished identification card 1 without additional aids. To do this, it is only necessary to subject the identification card 1 to a tilting movement when viewed.
- Pigments that fluoresce under ultraviolet (UV) light are also suitable for the formation of security elements.
- These pigments can be detected very easily in the feature layer 3 by irradiation with UV light. Both in the case of the liquid crystal pigments and in the case of the pigments fluorescent under UV light, the security element is not copied when the identification card 1 is copied, so that copy protection is ensured.
- FIG. 2 shows the identification card 1 from FIG. 1 after the personalization according to the first variant of the personalization method according to the invention in a schematic sectional illustration.
- the identification card 1 additionally has a personalization layer 4, which may contain, for example, image or text information, in particular a photo of the card holder and / or plain text information about the person of the card holder.
- the personalization layer 4 is applied to the feature layer 3 by means of thermal sublimation printing and penetrates a few ⁇ m, generally approximately one ⁇ m to three ⁇ m, deep into the feature layer 3. An intimate and permanent connection is formed between the personalization layer 4 and the feature layer 3, so that detachment of the personalization layer 4 is not possible without damaging the feature layer 3.
- the layer thickness of the feature layer 3 is only slightly larger than the penetration depth of the personalization layer 4. This ensures that the feature layer 3 is mechanically removed from the personalization layer 4 at least in the course of a manipulation attempt lateral areas in which the two layers 3 and 4 overlap are also almost completely removed.
- the personalization layer 4 can be covered with a transparent protective layer. Since the security of the personalization information is already guaranteed by the feature layer 3, the protective layer need not contain any security elements and can therefore be produced very inexpensively. A certain protective effect can also be achieved by using a screen printing ink for the formation of the feature layer 3, which has a high mechanical hardness and good UV resistance as well as a good adsorption capacity of the dyes applied in the thermal sublimation process.
- the feature layer 3 shows a snapshot of the identity card 1 during the personalization according to a second variant of the personalization method according to the invention in a schematic sectional illustration.
- the feature layer 3 is not on the card body 2 but on an intermediate carrier 5 at the time when the personalization layer 4 is applied.
- the feature layer 3 is first applied to the intermediate carrier 5.
- the personalization layer 4 is then applied to the feature layer 3.
- the feature layer 3 is still located on the intermediate carrier 5.
- the personalization is carried out analogously to the first variant of the personalization method according to the invention, so that the personalization layer 4 is also applied in the second variant by means of thermal sublimation printing , penetrates into the feature layer 3, intimately with the feature layer 3 connects etc.
- the result of this procedure is the intermediate carrier 5 provided with personalization information.
- the feature layer 3, together with the personalization layer 4 applied thereon is transferred from the intermediate carrier 5 to the card body 2.
- This can be done, for example, in a thermal transfer process in which the feature layer 3 including the personalization layer 4 is detached from the intermediate carrier 5 and transferred to the card body 2.
- 3 relates to a point in time shortly before the transmission.
- the layer sequence is reversed so that the personalization layer 4 comes to lie directly on the card body 2 and is covered by the feature layer 3. This is shown in FIG. 4.
- the feature layer 3 is not separated from the intermediate carrier 5 when it is applied to the card body 2, but rather is applied to the card body 2 together with the intermediate carrier 5.
- the intermediate carrier 5 thus forms the top layer on the card body 2 and can serve as a protective layer for the feature layer 3 arranged underneath. Protection against manipulation is also brought about in this modification not by the intermediate carrier 5 but by the intimate connection between the personalization layer 4 and the feature layer 3.
- FIG. 4 shows the identification card 1 from FIG. 3 after the personalization according to the second variant of the personalization method according to the invention in a schematic sectional illustration.
- the ID card 1 has a different compared with FIG. 2 the reverse layer sequence of the feature layer 3 and the personalization layer 4.
- the layer thickness of the feature layer 3 is selected to be at least slightly greater than the penetration depth of the personalization layer 4
- the reversal of the layer sequence generally has no major influence on the external appearance of the identification card 1, that is to say according to the first and the second variant of the personalization method according to the invention
- Personalized ID cards 1 look identical or at least similar. It should be noted, however, that the personalization information for the second variant must be mirrored in relation to the first variant.
