Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a closure for containers, such as bottles or jars, which is made of plastic and incorporates taggant elements in its structure, for designating its origin.
  • taggant elements are detected by a special device, e.g. a handheld device, they allow identification of the closure and its origin, and further afford assessment of whether the product in the bottle is authentic or should be deemed as counterfeit.
  • the second part 3 overmolded on the first part 2 may be used to define areas on at least part of the visible surface of the tubular band 4 and the flat wall 5, such as the areas referenced 10 and 11, whose color is different from that of the part 2 and said areas possibly having different surface areas. Furthermore, the second part 3 may be also used for the visible surfaces to display text, graphics or various indications among which the logo of the manufacturer or user on the visible surfaces of the closure.
  • the closure 1 is ground to recover the plastic material of the first part 2 and the second part 3, whose volume is equal to the sum of the volumes V1 and V2, and the recovered material is used to mold another closure having the same dimensional characteristics as the original, with the addition of dyes to reproduce the same color as the two layers that compose the original closure, when an authenticity check is made, the detected signal will be found to be well below the preset authenticity threshold assigned to the original closure, thereby generating a false signal.
