Definitions

  • the invention relates to a label with increased security against forgery from a carrier layer, in particular lacquer layer, very particularly from duroplastic lacquer for laser marking, wherein on the lower side of the carrier layer, an adhesive layer is present.
  • a security level must also apply to the production of the labels. Too easy procurement and labeling of such labels as well as the production of plagiarism would allow unauthorized persons the unauthorized distribution of articles. However, this additional security against counterfeiting must not preclude subsequent identification of the glued label for originality by means of a fast, clear, simple and non-destructive method.
  • Labeling by means of laser labels is becoming more and more important in the automotive industry, especially for high quality markings. In this way, information and instructions such as tire pressure or fuel type for the future user on a variety of components of the car are placed. Even in the upstream production stages, important production data can be transported via a laser label.
  • the label can be labeled with a barcode.
  • a suitable reader an assembly team has the opportunity to read information about the model, color and special features from the barcode directly on the production line.
  • a peeled-off tag can easily give a stolen vehicle another identity (new chassis number). Retracing the vehicle is as good as impossible.
  • the label material used must therefore, as far as possible counterfeit-proof, to counter manipulation attempts. It may not detach from the bonding substrate without being destroyed.
  • High temperature resistance should be given, for example up to over 200 ° C.
  • a multilayer label of a thin and a thick self-supporting, opaque pigmented lacquer layer is disclosed. Both layers consist of an electron beam-hardened solvent-free applied paint, wherein the layer thicknesses are different.
  • the labeling of the label takes place in that with the help of a laser, the upper thinner paint layer is burned away, so that the lower thicker lacquer layer becomes visible, the lower layer preferably having a contrasting color to the former.
  • This lettering is a type of engraving, which eliminates the manipulation possibilities as with traditional printing with inks and inks.
  • the label is set by the raw materials used and the manufacturing process so brittle that removal of the same from the adhesive substrates is almost always possible only with destruction.
  • Such laser labels are used especially for a rational and variable labeling for the production of sign sets.
  • These sets of signs contain the complete number of labels that are required, for example, in a motor vehicle on components subject to mandatory labeling (VIN plate, signs about tire pressure, boot load, characteristics of engines and units, etc.).
  • a laser film as known from DE G 81 30 861 and obtainable, for example, as tesa 6930® from the company tesa, due to its very brittle product structure offers good prerequisites for documenting possible manipulation attempts and thus thwarting them.
  • the laser-printed label can only be removed at a very high cost and under certain conditions in a non-destructive way from its original bonding substrate.
  • EP 0 645 747 A shows a laser-inscribable multilayer label material which comprises a first layer, a second layer differing optically from the first layer, wherein the first layer is laser-irradiated in accordance with a desired font or print image to visualize the surface the second layer is removable. Between the layers, a transparent plastic film forming a carrier layer is furthermore arranged.
  • DE 44 21 865 A1 shows a Ein Mrslaseretikett of a carrier layer made of plastic, which contains an additive which shows a color change under laser irradiation.
  • the carrier layer is coated on one side with a self-adhesive, which is optionally covered with a release paper or a release film.
  • DE 199 09 723 A1 has disclosed a security film which has a carrier layer in which an identification medium is contained. With the help of a non-contact labeling process, the diffusion properties of this identification medium can be specifically selectively and locally changed. If the security film labeled in this way is adhered to a workpiece, the identification medium diffuses toward the substrate surface, where it causes a detectable reaction. In this case, this diffusion or reaction takes place only in those areas of the substrate surface in which the diffusion capability was triggered or not hindered by the inscription process. Thus, the security film allows a clear labeling and identification of the workpiece.
  • the security film is labeled by means of a non-contact method.
  • the labeling of the security film - and thus the change of the diffusion properties of the identification medium - can be done in particular by means of electromagnetic radiation.
  • Particularly advantageous for inscribing the security film is the use of a laser, with the help of both a temperature and a light-sensitive labeling can be done (the term "light" in this case, the entire laser-accessible area of the electromagnetic spectrum).
  • Lasers have the additional advantage of enabling high-contrast labels with any choice of pattern, allowing rapid changes to the labeling pattern and being able to be used reliably in the factory environment.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a label which meets the above requirement of improved security against counterfeiting, in particular to increase the security against forgery of laser-writable films to the extent that a glued label is hardly destructible even with the help of a cutting tool, but especially not again can be glued without this manipulation is detectable or detectable, and this continues to be particularly high contrast, high resolution, high temperature resistance and easy to use has.

  • Label punched inclusions 30 are present, which are thus visible or accessible from the outside.
  • FIG. 2 differs from FIG. 1 only insofar as the label has been bonded to a substrate 50.
  • the discrete inclusions 30 are pressed into the adhesive 40 in such a way that the layers of the label located above the inclusions 30 deform so that haptically perceptible and optically visible impressions 11 result in the surface of the upper carrier layer of the label.
  • FIG. 3 shows the label according to FIG. 1 after the label has been peeled off the substrate by means of a sharp knife.
  • the knife thereby forcibly cuts through the adhesive coating 40, at the same time also the inclusions 30 are separated, so that parts of the inclusions 30 are in the adhesive 40a remaining on the label (30a), while the other parts 30b together with the other part of the adhesive 40b on Underground.
  • a detection of the additives in the inclusions 30a shows, when the label has been bonded again for another reason, that the amount of additives has become significantly lower, and in particular no longer with the originally present Quantity in the label of Figure 1 matches. Furthermore, the geometry of the discrete inclusions 30 has changed due to the "smearing", also an indication that a third party has manipulated the label.
  • the polymer matrix of the inclusions 30 is set in such a way that, as the inclusions 30 are severed, they are plastically deformed due to the shear stresses generated by the knife.
  • inclusions 30 have been severed such that nearly the entire volume of each inclusion 30a has remained on the label, re-adhering the label without it being detectable is still impossible.
  • the inclusions 30a have deformed due to the said stress in such a way that the image of the additives emerging by means of a detector no longer corresponds to the image as provided by the label according to FIG.
  • a particularly advantageous label is to be disclosed, which is produced using a printed support carrier film, so that imprints arise on the label surface, which result in a further high safety factor.
  • the support carrier film to be printed here a 50 ⁇ m polyester film, was printed on a UV flexo printing unit from SMB, subsequently UV-cured using a spotlight from G & W.
  • the pressure level was between 1 and 5 microns.
  • the coating of the two polyurethane acrylate layers took place wet in wet, that is to say the upper functional layer (black) and the lower contrast layer (white) were coated on one another without prior curing of the black layer (advantage after curing high interlaminate adhesion).
  • the black layer was coated directly onto the printed substrate and the white layer then onto the black layer.
  • the coating of the black layer was carried out via a Mehrwalzencitedstechnik (due to the lower and more precise layer thickness of 5 to 15 microns), and the white layer was coated over a doctor blade (100 to 160 microns).
  • the paints were solvent-free "100%" systems based on aliphatic polyurethane acrylates, and the properties (viscosity) were adjusted by means of reactive diluents and copolymers hardened by electron beam curing at 80 KGy and 240 KeV laser stock.
  • the adhesive pressure-sensitive adhesive according to DE 15 69 898 A1 was coated from a solution by means of a doctor blade (35 g / m 2 ) and subsequently thermally crosslinked. The coating took place on the release film (liner). Only at the end of the laser pre-material was laminated together with the adhesive.
  • the printed backing sheet was removed, a negative impression of the geometry was recessed in the top coat.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une étiquette à sécurité élevée contre la falsification comprenant au moins une couche de support, une couche d'adhésif étant présente sur le côté inférieur de la couche de support. L'étiquette se caractérise en ce que plusieurs inclusions discrètes qui contiennent au moins un additif détectable de façon réversible, sont présentes dans ou sur le côté découvert de la couche d'adhésif. De préférence lorsque l'étiquette est collée sur un support, les inclusions discrètes sont comprimées dans la masse d'adhésif de sorte que les couches de l'étiquette qui recouvrent les inclusions, se déforment de sorte que l'on obtient des formes optiquement visibles et reconnaissables au toucher à la surface de la couche de support supérieure de l'étiquette.
