Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods for producing a security or value document and safety or value documents produced by these methods.
  • Security elements for the purpose of security, which permit verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
  • security elements can be designed, for example, in the form of a film element glued onto the data carrier, which can be provided with desired security features, such as, for example, embossed structures that are embossed in a lacquer layer and partially metallized.
  • the security elements are also often formed by a transferred film strip, in which a carrier film is coated with a curable lacquer layer, the lacquer layer is provided with desired security features and then glued together with the carrier film on the disk.
  • the carrier film is subsequently stripped off so that only an extremely thin film layer remains on the data carrier, which practically does not deposit in the end product.
  • a film to cover the through hole remains on the disk.
  • a composite of a carrier film and a useful film is typically used, wherein the carrier film is removed before or after the application to the disk.
  • WO 2005 10 81 09 discloses the production of a document of value wherein a laser-modifiable paper substrate is provided with a coating in at least one marking area, and a marking is produced by means of a laser which extends over the border area between the coating and the security paper.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide security and value documents with a high level of protection against counterfeiting, and in particular to provide security and value documents whose security features are attractively integrated into the visual appearance.
  • the security element does not have to be present in the entire marking area and it can also extend beyond the marking area. It is only essential for the present invention that an overlapping region of the marking area and the security element exists, in which the lines of weakness in the security element and the markings in the paper substrate can be generated simultaneously and with register accuracy.
  • the laser parameters are expediently selected when the layer composite is acted upon in step L) such that the weakening of the security element by the lines of weakness exceeds the adhesive force between the security element and the paper substrate.
  • the strength in the unaltered region of the security element is greater than the adhesive force between security element and paper substrate, while in the region of the weakening lines, the opposite occurs. In a peel attempt, therefore, the security element breaks away from the lines of weakness.
  • the strength of the paper is less than that of the security element and the adhesive force between the security element and the paper substrate.
  • the paper substrate is split in a peel attempt of the security element.
  • adhesive can be cut out in the region of the weakening lines in order not to remove the color effects of the paper substrate during the cleavage.

  • laser-modifiable markers may be used whose infrared-absorbing properties or their magnetic, electrical or luminescent properties is changed by the action of the laser radiation.
  • the paper substrate and the security element are advantageously provided with different laser-modifiable markers, so that different effects, in particular different color effects, occur in the paper and in the security element. If both a paper substrate, a film layer and a lacquer layer are provided, then all three elements can be provided with laser-modifiable marking substances, in particular with different marking substances.
  • the different marking substances are coordinated with one another such that the modification of the marking substance present in the paper substrate requires a higher laser energy than the modification of the marking substance present in the security element.
  • the modification of the marker present in the paper substrate requires less laser energy than the modification of the marker present in the security element, in particular because the laser radiation is attenuated by the passage through the security element.
  • the tagging agents will generally match their threshold energies, the proportion of film and paper markers, and film thickness, based on the desired appearance of the finished security element.
  • laser radiation in the infrared spectral range is preferably used, in particular laser radiation of a CO 2 laser at a wavelength between 9.2 and 11.4 ⁇ m, typically at about 10.6 ⁇ m. Also the Use of a Nd: YAG laser with a wavelength of 1.064 ⁇ m is an advantage.
  • the security element is advantageously weakened along the lines of weakness to 50% or less, preferably 30% or less, of the thickness outside the lines of weakness. It is understood that the respective required weakening of the film material, the film thickness and the properties of the adhesive bond between paper substrate and film element depends. If the security element is designed in the form of a transferred lacquer layer, the required weakening depends on the lacquer material, the lacquer thickness and the connection between the lacquer layer and the paper substrate. In an alternative design, the security element along the lines of weakness is provided with local vulnerabilities. In this case, the security element can in particular even be perforated along the lines of weakness, that is to say the layer thickness of the security element can be reduced in some areas to zero.

  • a first marker may be incorporated into the volume of the paper substrate 106 and a second marker may be printed on the surface of the paper substrate 106.
  • the laser energy in cutting may then be tuned to be in the area outside of the film strip 102 for ablating the second feature substance of the surface layer and to induce color change of the first marker is sufficient, while in the region of the film strip 102 after passing through the film still incident on the paper laser energy is sufficient only to induce a color change of the present on the surface of the second marker.
  • the described effect can also be exploited in film composite banknotes in the region of openings of the films.
  • the effect can be further used in the non-destructive marking according to the second aspect of the invention, as in Fig. 12 shown.
  • a layer composite 120 of a paper substrate 122 and a film element 124 is provided and the paper substrate and the film element are provided in a marking region with a first and second laser-modifiable marking material.
  • Marked sections 126 and 128 are produced by laser irradiation in perfect lateral fit, with only marking of the paper substrate 122 being made in the marking sections 126, while in the marking section 128 in FIG Fig. 8
  • identifications in the paper substrate 122 and in the film element 124 are produced simultaneously and with register accuracy without cutting the film element 124 in the process.
  • the paper substrate 122 is provided in the marking area with a first marking substance, which undergoes a color change to a first color, red in the exemplary embodiment, when laser is applied, so that a red marking 130 results in the paper.
  • the film element 124 is provided in the marking area with a second marking substance, which upon laser application, a color change to a semi-transparent second color, blue in the embodiment, experiences, so that there is a blue marking 132 in the film element.
  • the marking 130 on the then separate paper substrate 122 is completely visible in its red color ( Fig. 12 (b) ), while the marking 132 on the then separate film element 124 appears in its blue color ( Fig. 12 (c) ).
  • Exceeding the range of the security element on the one hand has the advantage that the security element can be better integrated into the paper substrate, since the label from the paper substrate on the security element overlaps.
  • the laterally adapted marking section 126 provides additional protection, since this marking part remains in the paper substrate even when the paper is split when the security element is detached.
  • the laser energy can be varied, depending on whether the security element or only the paper substrate is applied.
  • register tolerances may arise between the marking sections on the paper and the security element.
