Description

Die Erfindung betrifft Verpackungsmaterialien, insbesondere für Pharmabereich, die ein Sicherheitselement mit Flip-Flop-Effekt aufweisen.The invention relates to packaging materials, in particular for the pharmaceutical sector, which have a security element with flip-flop effect.

In der EP 1 389 537 A1 ( PCT/JP2002/003495 ) wird ein Kopierschutzmerkmal für Wertdokumente und dergleichen mit Flip Flop Effekt beansprucht, das nur im Druck herstellbar ist. Dabei wird jeweils eine metallische Schicht als Reflektorschicht gedruckt. US5582103 A1 offenbart das Erzeugen von Oberflächenerhebungen bzw. Oberflächenvertiefungen zur Herstellung eines latenten Bildes. WO2006/056216 offenbart ein Identifikations- und Authentizitätsmerkmal für z.B. Blisterfolien. Gegenstand der Erfindung sind Verpackungsfolien aufweisend ein metallisches oder metallisiertes Trägersubstrat, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Trägersubstrat ein, in zwei unterschiedlichen visuell erkennbaren Farben, gedrucktes Linienraster aufweist.In the EP 1 389 537 A1 ( PCT / JP2002 / 003495 ) a copy protection feature for documents of value and the like is claimed with a flip-flop effect that can only be produced in print. In each case, a metallic layer is printed as a reflector layer. US5582103 A1 discloses the production of surface pits for making a latent image. WO2006 / 056,216 discloses an identification and authenticity feature for eg blister sheets. The invention relates to packaging films comprising a metallic or metallized carrier substrate, characterized in that the carrier substrate has a line grid printed in two different visually recognizable colors.

Als Trägersubstrate kommen metallisierte Kunststofffolien , beispielsweise aus PI, PP, MOPP, PE, PPS, PEEK, PEK, PEI, PSU, PAEK, LCP, PEN, PBT, PET, PA, PC, COC, POM, ABS, PVC in Frage. Die Trägerfolien weisen vorzugsweise eine Dicke von 5 - 700 µm, bevorzugt 5 - 200 µm, besonders bevorzugt 5 - 50 µm auf.Suitable carrier substrates are metallized plastic films, for example of PI, PP, MOPP, PE, PPS, PEEK, PEK, PEI, PSU, PAEK, LCP, PEN, PBT, PET, PA, PC, COC, POM, ABS, PVC. The carrier films preferably have a thickness of 5 to 700 .mu.m, preferably 5 to 200 .mu.m, particularly preferably 5 to 50 .mu.m.

Als Trägersubstrat können Metallfolien, beispielsweise AI-, Cu-, Sn-, Ni-, Fe- oder Edelstahlfolien mit einer Dicke von 5 - 200 µm, vorzugsweise 5 bis 80 µm, besonders bevorzugt 10 - 50 µm dienen. Die Folien können auch oberflächenbehandelt, beschichtet oder kaschiert beispielsweise mit Kunststoffen oder lackiert sein.The carrier substrate may be metal foils, for example Al, Cu, Sn, Ni, Fe or stainless steel foils having a thickness of 5-200 μm, preferably 5 to 80 μm, particularly preferably 10 to 50 μm. The films can also be surface-treated, coated or laminated, for example, with plastics or painted.

Besonders bevorzugt werden Aluminiumfolien verwendet.Aluminum foils are particularly preferably used.

Die Linien des Linienrasters weisen vorzugsweise eine Dicke von 0,05 bis 0,8 mm, besonders bevorzugt 0,1 bis 0,4 mm. Die Linien können auch als Mikrotext ausgeführt sein. Es ist aber auch denkbar, jedes andere grafische Element so zu gestalten, dass es wie eine Linie aussieht.The lines of the line grid preferably have a thickness of 0.05 to 0.8 mm, particularly preferably 0.1 to 0.4 mm. The lines can also be designed as microtext. But it is also conceivable to make every other graphic element look like a line.

Die Linien werden abwechselnd in 2 unterschiedlichen Farben gedruckt.The lines are printed alternately in 2 different colors.

Die den Wechsel des Motivs bedingenden Bilder werden jeweils in den beiden jeweiligen Linienrastern als negative Formen ausgespart.The images which cause the motif to change are each left out in the two respective line grids as negative forms.

Unter Bildern werden in diesem Zusammenhang Motive, Zeichen, Symbole, Logos, Buchstaben, Buchstabenfolgen, Linienabfolgen und dergleichen verstanden.In this context, pictures are understood to mean subjects, characters, symbols, logos, letters, sequences of letters, line sequences and the like.

Durch die Verwendung eines metallischen oder metallisierten Trägersubstrat kann der erste Aufdruck, der die Reflektorschicht bildet, entfallen.By using a metallic or metallized carrier substrate, the first print, which forms the reflector layer, can be dispensed with.

Dadurch kann das Sicherheitselement bedeutend wirtschaftlicher hergestellt werden.As a result, the security element can be made significantly more economical.

Bei einem silberfarbenen Trägersubstrat ist es vorteilhaft als eine erste Farbe immer weiß einzusetzen, die Farbe gelb oder aufgehellte mit weiß versetzten Farben eignen sich auch gut.In the case of a silver-colored carrier substrate, it is advantageous to always use white as a first color; the color yellow or lightened with white-offset colors are also suitable.

Als zweite Farbe kann man jede Farbe verwenden die deutlich dunkler ist.As the second color you can use any color that is much darker.

Entscheidend für die gute Qualität des Flip Flop auf bereits reflektierenden Flächen ist ein nicht als Vollton 100 % druckender Auszug zu wählen. Die Farbauszüge sind vorzugsweise gerastert.Decisive for the good quality of the Flip Flop on already reflective surfaces is to choose a non-solid 100% printing excerpt. The color separations are preferably screened.

Es kann ein normaler 40er oder 50er Punktraster verwendet werden. Eine Rasterung der Farbe weiß von 50 oder 75% und der Farbe Magenta von 25 oder 30% haben sich als hervorragend geeignet zur Erzielung des gewünschten Effekts herausgestellt.You can use a normal 40s or 50s dot grid. A halftone color of 50 or 75% and magenta of 25 or 30% has been found to be outstandingly suitable for achieving the desired effect.

Diese Parameter sind für alle Druckverfahren geeignet, beispielsweise für Tief-, Flexo-, Sieb-, Digitaldruck und dergleichen.These parameters are suitable for all printing processes, for example for gravure, flexo, screen, digital printing and the like.

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist ein erfindungsgemäßes Sicherheitsmerkmal dargestellt.

  • Fig. 1 stellt die Bedruckung ausgeführt in heller Farbe dar.
  • Fig. 2 stellt die Bedruckung in dunkler Farbe dar.
  • Fig. 3 stellt das fertige Sicherheitselement auf einer metallischen Folie dar.
In the FIGS. 1 to 3 an inventive security feature is shown.
  • Fig. 1 represents the printing carried out in light color.
  • Fig. 2 represents the printing in dark color.
  • Fig. 3 represents the finished security element on a metallic foil.

Darin bedeuten 1 die Bedruckung in heller Farbe, 2 die Bedruckung in dunkler Farbe und 3 das Trägersubstrat. Die erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsfolien werden für Verpackungen im Pharmabereich, beispielsweise Blisterverpackungen und dergleichen verwendet.Therein 1 means the printing in light color, 2 the printing in dark color and 3 the carrier substrate. The packaging films according to the invention are used for packaging in the pharmaceutical sector, for example blister packs and the like.
