Definitions
- the invention relates to a data carrier, in particular a value document, such as a banknote, identification card and the like, with a substrate having at least one tactile detectable security feature.
- the invention also relates to a method for producing such a data carrier.
- Data carriers such as security, value or ID documents, but also other valuables, are often provided with security features for security, which allow a verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
- the object of the present invention is to further improve data carriers of the type mentioned above with regard to their circulation stability and their security against imitation, while at the same time obtaining as completely as possible the properties important for the evaluation of the authenticity of banknotes.
- This object is achieved by the data carrier and the production method having the features of the independent claims.
- a generic data carrier in particular a value document, such as a banknote, identity card and the like, a substrate having at least one tactile detectable security feature, wherein the relief height of the at least one tactile detectable security feature 10 ⁇ to 180 ⁇ .
- the substrate with the at least one tactile detectable security feature is covered on both sides in each case over the entire surface of a polymeric cover layer such that the tactility of the at least one tactile detectable security feature is substantially maintained.
- the large relief height of the tactile detectable security feature ensures that the consumer can easily check the authenticity of the banknote according to the invention on the basis of the tactile security feature.
- the tactility of the at least one tactile According to the invention, the detectable security feature is obtained despite the polymeric cover layer applied to the substrate with a tactile security feature on both sides of the entire surface. This finding is surprising inasmuch as the tactility of a security feature arranged on the substrate has in part been drastically reduced in the hitherto known data carriers with a tactile security feature by the double-sided covering of the substrate with a cover layer.
- the tactile detectable security feature of the data carrier has a relief height of 20 ⁇ to 150 ⁇ , preferably from 30 ⁇ to 130 ⁇ and most preferably from 35 ⁇ to 90 ⁇ on.
- the disk may have a large number of known tactile security features, whereby the invention is economically very interesting.
- the relief height of the tactile detectable security feature covered by the polymeric cover layer comprises 40% to 100%, preferably 60% to 100% and most preferably 80% to 100% of the relief height of the uncovered security feature.
- maintaining the tactility of the security feature to the greatest extent possible is essential to the present invention. The surprising finding that the tactility of the security feature is substantially preserved by the appropriate selection of tactile security features, covering polymeric layer and corresponding manufacturing parameters will be discussed below for the individual relevant features.
- the tactility of a high relief height security feature is maintained to a greater extent than is the case with lower relief height security features.
- the complete or essentially complete preservation of the tactility ultimately means that he can hardly or hardly distinguish between a data carrier with a data carrier without a polymeric cover layer, at least with respect to the haptic detectability of the tactile security feature.
- this ideal case of 100% preservation of the relief height can not always be realized in practice, maintaining tactility of about 80% will also satisfy most users of the data carrier for unique authentication of the tactile security feature.
- the tactile detectable security feature is advantageously selected from the group watermark, security thread, foil strip, foil patch, imprint, embossed structure or relief structure generated by the action of electromagnetic radiation.
- security threads which may be partially or completely embedded in a substrate, are suitable as tactile security features.
- Below a “foil strip” is hereafter an elongated and under a “foil patch” a non-stretched film element with eg circular, elliptical or rectangular outline understood.
- An imprint on the substrate of the data carrier or an embossing structure introduced by means of a suitable embossing tool also have a suitable relief for authenticity detection.
- the relief structure produced by electromagnetic radiation may be e.g. to be a foamable print that expands when exposed to heat to form a relief structure. It is also conceivable in this connection to apply a particularly paper-based substrate to form a relief structure in the areas exposed to radiation.
- the tactile security feature in the form of a security thread, foil strip or foil patches can have features known per se, in particular a diffraction structure, matt structure, a color shift-effect thin-film arrangement, micromirrors, microlenses and other optically variable features.
- each imprint can be used with a relief height of greater than 10 ⁇ as a tactile feature, in particular, an offset, flexo, screen or gravure printing method is suitable. It is possible, for example, by means of a screen printing process, to provide a relief on the security substrate, which consists only of a color layer with a thickness of about 10 ⁇ to 30 ⁇ . Such relief structures can be produced, for example, with UV-drying inks.
- the relief produced in the screen printing process can basically be executed in color or colorless, ie transparent.
- the imprint may comprise effect colors which contain in particular magnetically alignable, metallic or liquid-crystalline pigments can.
- thermochromic and photochromic materials wherein all of the abovementioned materials and pigments can also be enclosed in microcapsules.
- the imprint is a gravure printing process, in particular a gravure printing process.
- an embossed structure is produced congruently to the imprint in the so-called "ink-carrying" intaglio printing, in which the tactility is formed by the embossed structure produced and the imprint arranged congruently to the embossed structure has a tactile structure with great stability and durability,
- the tactile security features produced in the inkjet printing have, for the embossing structure and the imprint, a total relief height of approximately 35 ⁇ m to 90 ⁇ m, which is the case for the cover layer provided according to the invention a haptic detection and thus a proof of authenticity is particularly advantageous.
- the imprint transparent, so that the viewer essentially perceives the embossed structure in the color of the embossed substrate.
- the embossed structure is well protected from external influences by the transparent imprint, which is ensured to an even greater extent by the covering polymeric cover layer.
- a visually distinguishable from the color of the form or the film element relief by means of ink-carrying gravure or "blind embossing" (see below).
- a gravure printing plate without color is used to produce a so-called "blind embossing.”
- the substrate is deformed to form an embossed structure, but no congruent imprint is produced.
- the substrate is colorless, a colorless relief is obtained correspondingly, as a result of the blind embossing produced in a pre-print or film element, a structure which is visually perceptible from the unembossed region is generally produced by means of shadowing effects.
- tactile detectable security features can therefore be produced in the intaglio printing process, in which areas with printing and congruent embossing structure as well as blind embossed areas, which have only one embossed structure, are produced directly next to one another.
- Such structures have an extremely high counterfeit protection, since a spatial sequence of embossed structures with and without imprinting is particularly difficult to falsify.
- the substrate has at least one paper layer.
- the substrate is a single- or multi-ply security paper, this being advantageously made of cotton or of cotton having a polymer fraction x, where x is greater than 0% and less than 100%.
- a tactile detectable security feature can be at least partially embedded in the paper layer during papermaking.
- the security feature may in particular be a watermark or a security thread.
- a tactile security feature introduced into the paper, in particular a fiber fleece or a paper strip, for producing a thickness modulation in the paper substrate. strat. It is understood that in addition to the tactile security features embedded in the substrate, further security features can be arranged on the substrate.
- the at least partially embedded security threads may in turn contain the abovementioned, in particular optically variable features.
- the substrate may also be a polymeric material, in particular a plastic film of PET, PP, PE, PA, PC or PVC.
- polymeric materials have a particularly long lifetime, but they usually have a significantly poorer Ver drapegée and thus usually a lower tactility, for. an imprint produced on them by intaglio printing.
- the polymeric cover layer which is in each case arranged over the entire surface of the two surfaces of the substrate, preferably consists of PET, PP, PE, LDPE, LLDPE, PA, PC, POPP, PVC, PU, polyurethane acrylates, cellophane, UV-crosslinked lacquer layers (US Pat. free-radical crosslinking or cationic crosslinking) or from natural biopolymers.
- natural biopolymers in particular films of renewable raw materials, such as starch or polylactic acids (PLA) are conceivable.
- the polymeric cover layer may also be a mixture of one or more of the aforementioned polymers.
- the polymeric cover layer advantageously has a thickness of 0.8 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m, preferably from 2 ⁇ m to 12 ⁇ m, and very particularly preferably from 2 ⁇ m to 6 ⁇ m. In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the polymeric cover layer on one or both surfaces of the substrate is only about
- Cover layers with such small thicknesses can be produced by the methods described below and afford a significantly preserving the tactility of the tactile security feature, even after being covered by the polymeric overcoat. Furthermore, such a thin layer already provides significantly improved circulation resistance compared to substrates without a cover layer, and, moreover, also increases the security against forgery of the security features covered by the cover layer.
- the polymeric cover layer is advantageously transparent or translucent.
- a transparent layer ideally has a transmittance of 100%, although this value is generally not exactly reached in practice.
- a transparent layer accordingly has a transmittance of 90% to 100%.
- the transmittance refers to the transmittance for light, in particular for light in the visible wavelength range between 400 nm and 800 nm, ie for light, as is usually perceived by the viewer.
- the transmittance is the quotient of the radiant power transmitted through the material and the radiant power radiated onto the layer.
- the transmittance may also relate only to a single wavelength or to other wavelength ranges, for example to the near UV or IR wavelength range following the visible spectral range.
- a translucent or semitransparent layer has a transmittance of from 10% to 90% and particularly preferably from 20% to 80%. It is understood that a polymeric cover layer applied to a surface of the substrate need not have the same transmission properties over its entire area. In particular, transparent and translucent regions, depending on the manufacturing process, can also be replaced or arranged in a specific pattern.
- the polymeric cover layer is not provided with a security feature, preferably not with a tactile detectable security feature and in particular not with a print or an embossed structure.
- a security feature preferably not with a tactile detectable security feature and in particular not with a print or an embossed structure.
- Such an embodiment advantageously makes it possible to equip the substrate with the tactile detectable security feature and all other security features provided for the data carrier and in a final step cover the substrate with all security features with the polymeric cover layers on both sides.
- Such an embodiment is industrially and economically interesting because the data carrier after application of the polymer cover layer with no further layer, in particular no further ink receiving layer, printing layer or other security-relevant feature must be equipped.
- such an embodiment has an extraordinary protection against counterfeiting, since all relevant to the authenticity of the data carrier security features, but also all other relevant to the recognizability of the data carrier information, especially imprints and other design elements are protected by the polymeric cover layer from manipulation and counterfeiting attacks.
- the polymeric cover layer on both sides of the substrate is not a security feature, in particular no tactile security feature and in particular no security feature. has, foil patch, foil strip or imprint
- the top layer may possibly have intrinsic features, such as by stretching the top layer resulting polarization features or fluorescents not visible in the visible wavelength range.
- intrinsic properties of the polymer cover layer are not excluded by the formulation "that the polymeric cover layer has no security features.” The intrinsic properties can therefore be detected mechanically and / or visually with suitable aids or sensors and can act as an additional authenticity feature it is particularly preferred if, in the presence of such intrinsic features in the polymeric cover layer, the cover layer is transparent or at least translucent in the visible wavelength range.
- the invention also encompasses a method for producing a data carrier of the abovementioned type.
- the method according to the invention provides a) a substrate with at least one tactile detectable security feature with a relief height of 10 .mu.m to 180 .mu.m, and b) the substrate with the at least one tactile detectable security feature on both sides in each case over the entire surface of a polymeric cover layer so covered that the tactility of at least one tactile detectable security feature is substantially maintained.
- the tactile detectable security feature is advantageously generated with a relief height of 20 ⁇ to 150 ⁇ , preferably from 30 ⁇ to 130 ⁇ and most preferably from 35 ⁇ ⁇ to 90 ⁇ . It is particularly advantageous further, the polymeric cover layer is produced such that the relief height of the covered, tactile detectable security feature is 40% to 100%, preferably 60% to 100% and most preferably 80% to 100% of the relief height of the uncovered security feature ,
- the tactile detectable security feature can be applied to the substrate in method step a), in particular by means of a transfer method.
- security threads, film strips or foil patches can be transferred to the substrate in such a transfer process.
- the substrate can also be provided with an imprint or an embossed structure, for which purpose, in particular, a gravure printing method, in particular a intaglio printing method, can be used.
- a gravure printing method in particular a intaglio printing method
- the substrate is produced in a paper machine with at least one paper layer and preferably during paper production a tactile detectable security feature, in particular a watermark or security thread, is at least partially embedded in the paper layer.
- a tactile detectable security feature in particular a watermark or security thread
- the substrate in the method step a) is equipped with all provided for the disk tactile security features.
- the covering by the polymeric cover layer in such an embodiment is therefore the final step in the production of the data carrier, apart from the cutting of the data carrier into the desired shape and other subordinate process steps for the completion of the data carrier.
- all security elements and information of the substrate are protected from counterfeiting attacks by the polymeric cover layer.
- the polymeric cover layer is applied to the substrate by a film lamination, in particular Druckkaschie- rungs, Spaltkaschleiters- or Heilkaschleitersvon.
- a film lamination in particular Druckkaschie- rungs, Spaltkaschleiters- or Heilkaschleitersvon.
- the above-mentioned methods for film lamination are suitable both for the production of data carriers in a process in which a large number of data carriers still to be separated are wound onto reels (roll process) or as sheets (sheet processes).
- the laminating process already indicates, in the case of pressure corrugation the web to be laminated is in the carrier web with a defined one Pressed pressure while working in the Spaltkaschtechnik with a predetermined gap thickness, so that the desired laminating pressure can be selected without changing the strength of the web to be laminated.
- embossment of the substrate can be used to generate braille and advantageously be arranged in printed or unprinted areas of the substrate.
- a connection of the film to the substrate must take place.
- a wet adhesive (wet laminating), a dry adhesive (Trockenkaschiervon) can be used for the connection of substrate and film or without adhesive, but by means of heat and / or pressure (Thermokasc Wervon) are used.
- Theraiolaminiervon in which the polymeric cover layer is produced by bonding a hot-extruded polymer layer to the substrate.
- the polymeric cover layer is applied to the substrate by a curtain coating, an extruder coating method or by means of a low-level metering system.
- the polymeric topcoat may further be applied to the substrate by film transfer, by spraying or by printing.
- the coating composition provided as a polymeric cover layer is poured onto the substrate, whereby more than one layer of the same or different coating materials can be applied simultaneously with this method
- Dependence of the coating material provided for the polymeric cover layer in particular the surface tension and viscosity of the cover layer, the substrate quality, in particular the surface roughness, the absorbency and the surface tension of the substrate, as well as the adjusted machine parameters, in particular the web speed, the distance to the substrate and the nozzle design uniformly thick coating application
- the tactility of a security feature can be maintained particularly well.
- flat film extruders are preferably used, with PE or PP being used with advantage as the polymeric material, and the polymeric material generally being applied directly to the substrate.
- PE or PP being used with advantage as the polymeric material
- the polymeric material generally being applied directly to the substrate.
- foils in the thicknesses of 4 ⁇ m to 60 ⁇ m (cast-PP), 4 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m (POPP), 8 ⁇ m to 250 ⁇ m (PET) and PA films in various thicknesses are available for flat film extruders.
- data carriers according to the invention can advantageously be equipped with a polymeric cover layer in a sheet process by means of a low-level metering system
- the width of the sheet to be provided with the polymer cover layer which in turn contains a multiplicity of data carriers to be separated later, may alternatively be arranged side by side instead of one slot nozzle such that their width corresponds in total to the sheet width in that a plurality of slot nozzles are each arranged next to one another in, for example, two rows, so that with respect to the running direction of the sheet, the end of a nozzle always stands in the middle region of the nozzle of an adjacent row and thus unwanted "seams" during Besch ichtungslui be avoided.
- a dosing unit which precisely positions the feature substance and delivers it to the polymeric cover layer synchronized with the process for arranging the polymeric cover layer on the substrate.
- a dosing unit is used which precisely positions the feature substance and delivers it to the polymeric cover layer synchronized with the process for arranging the polymeric cover layer on the substrate.
- the polymeric cover layers in a thickness of 0.8 ⁇ ⁇ to 20 ⁇ , preferably from 2 ⁇ to 12 ⁇ and most preferably from 2 ⁇ to 6 ⁇ is applied to the substrate, in particular a polymeric coating layer of about 3.5 ⁇ receives the tactility of the tactile security feature extremely well.
- the polymeric cover layer arranged on both sides of the substrate can, in an advantageous embodiment, be at least partially matted.
- the polymeric cover layers have a relatively high gloss, which is not always visually appealing to a viewer and can make it difficult to machine-detect the data carrier.
- a high gloss is optionally present in those embodiments in which the polymeric cover layers are applied in a final process step to the substrate with substantially all security features and the polymeric cover layers therefore have no matt security features, imprints, etc.
- an at least partial matting of the polymeric cover layer may be particularly advantageous for machine detection.
- a frosted covering layer arranged in the region of a tactile security feature can be partially provided with a higher gloss, for example by a glossy coating in the area of the tactile security feature, which may be advantageous for the visual comprehensibility, as will be explained below.
- the matting can in particular facilitate the machine authenticity check of the tactile security features according to the invention and thus increase the security against counterfeiting.
- the polymeric topcoat is not matted in those areas where the tactile security features of the present invention are disposed under the polymeric topcoat, then the viewer will be formally affected by the tactile security feature and the ability to authenticate through the glossy, ie, non-matted area in one otherwise matted environment indicated.
- the tactile features relevant for the authenticity check can thus be emphasized for the viewer so that an easier authenticity check is possible.
- the counterfeit security of the data carrier is thus increased in a synergistic way by the interaction of tactile verifiability and easier discoverability of the tactile security features.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a data carrier according to the invention with tactile detectable security features in supervision, and
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the data carrier of FIG. 1 along the
- Fig. 1 shows in plan a schematic representation of the banknote 1, with a plurality of tactile detectable security features 2, 3, 4 and 6, which are arranged on the substrate Furthermore, the bank note 1 still has authenticity features, which are, for example, the imprint marked with the reference numeral 5, which need not necessarily be detectable in a tactile manner , 3, 4, 5 and 6 is on both sides in each case over the entire surface covered by a polymeric cover layer 9a, 9b, which will now be explained in more detail with reference to FIG.
- FIG. 2 shows, on the one hand, the security thread 2 which is partially embedded in the banknote substrate and which is a so-called "window security thread" with a thickness of approximately 6 .mu.m to 60 .mu ..
- the window security thread 2 has areas 2 b substantially completely in the substrate, in the present case a pa- Pier based substrate are embedded. Furthermore, the window security thread 2 enters the surface of the paper substrate in the regions 2a, so that the authenticity checking features arranged on the security thread, in particular holograms, diffraction structures, thin-film elements, etc., can be visually checked by the viewer to check the authenticity.
- FIG. 2 shows the cross section through such a region 2a, wherein it can also be seen that the security thread in region 2a is only partially embedded in the substrate and therefore projects out of the surface of the banknote by the amount R0 not drawn further, and thus at least 2a forms a tactile security feature of the present invention.
- the security feature 3 shown in FIG. 1 is a haptically detectable security feature produced in a gravure printing process.
- the data carrier in the area of the security feature 3 on the one hand has relief structures 3b with a print 30 arranged congruently therewith.
- the imprint 30 is generated simultaneously in the color-guiding intaglio, and the embossed structure 3b is congruently produced.
- the relief height R0 of the embossed structure 3b is approximately 35 .mu.m to 110 .mu.m with imprint 30.
- a tactile structure 3a has been produced in the substrate, which has no paint application.
- Such an embossing structure obtained by blank embossing of the substrate can likewise be produced with a stitch printing plate, wherein no color is introduced in the regions of the stitch printing plate corresponding to the regions 3a and the printing plate is pressed without color into the substrate.
- an embossed structure 3a with good tactile detectability is produced.
- the relief height of the embossed structure 3a is designated in Fig. 2 by the reference RO and is about 35 ⁇ to 90 ⁇ . As shown in FIG.
- embossed structure 3a and embossed structure 3b with imprint 30 are arranged in the immediate vicinity and produced by means of a printing plate in one method step.
- This procedure makes it possible to produce a tactile security element with a high degree of protection against forgery, since it is very difficult to imitate so closely spaced tactile areas with and without the application of paint.
- the film strip 4 was further applied by means of a transfer method, which is arranged as an elongate film element over the entire width of the banknote.
- the film strip has the relief height R0 of approximately 20 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
- the banknote 1 also has a tactile detectable watermark 6 (see FIG. 1).
- R0 is defined as the height of the tactile security feature 2, 3, 4, 6 with respect to the substrate surface. R0 thus indicates how far the security feature 2, 3, 4, 6 protrudes with respect to the substrate surface.
- the tactile security elements 2, 3 and 4 are covered on one side of the substrate with the polymeric cover layer 9a.
- a film 9a is applied to the surface of the substrate 7 having the tactile security elements by means of an adhesive 8 having a thickness of approximately 0.5 ⁇ m to 8 ⁇ m.
- the adhesive Trag can be eg 2 g / m 2 , which corresponds to a thickness of a few micrometers.
- a film 9b is arranged as a polymeric cover layer by means of an adhesive 8.
- the films 9a, 9b may be a PET film with a thickness of 0.8 ⁇ to 12 ⁇ ⁇ , in particular of about 6 ⁇ act. It is also conceivable in such a case that one film is made of a first material and the other film of a second material, for example POPP or PET with the same or a different thickness.
- the polymeric cover layers 9a and 9b can also be arranged without adhesive, for example by extrusion, directly on the substrate with security features.
- the relief height of the embossed structure 3a after covering by the covering layer 9a has the value R1.
- the film strip 4 and the security thread 2 after being covered by the polymer top layer 9a, have a tactilely detectable relief of the relief height R1.
- R1 is defined as the height of the polymeric cover layer in the region of the covered security feature with respect to the polymeric cover layer arranged on the substrate surface (without a tactile security feature) (see FIG. 2).
- the relief height R0 of the tactile security features arranged on the substrate 7 is substantially completely preserved even after being covered by the polymeric cover layer 9a.
- the quotient of Rl and R0 is 1 with complete preservation of the tactility and is particularly preferably at least in the range of 0.8 to 1.
- the user of the banknote with respect to the relief height of the tactile security feature without or with coverage by the polymeric cover layer perceive virtually no difference.
- the tactile detectability of the security feature covered by the polymeric cover layer is ensured in each case according to the invention, while at the same time the circulation resistance and the counterfeit protection by the polymeric cover are significantly increased.
- cover layers 9a, 9b shown in FIG. 2 cover layers can also be applied by means of very advantageous application methods, such as e.g. Curtain coating extruder coating process, or can be done by means of a Flachklebedosiersystems. Even with such methods, data carriers according to the invention can be produced with tactile, easily detectable security features, large protection against counterfeiting and high circulation stability.
