Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a security tag for detecting a first-time opening of a container.
  • the present invention further relates to a container provided with such a security tag.
  • the manufacturers of original products are careful that the original packaging can not be reused unnoticed.
  • the original packaging undergoes such a modification when first opened that they either can not be used at all, or that at least the visual appearance of the packaging is irrevocably modified.
  • One such approach is to provide an original package, such as a carton box, with a seal label at its opening, which is changed on first opening so that this change can be readily felt.
  • a two-ply label can be used, which has a zigzag-shaped stamped in the upper layer.
  • This upper layer is bonded to the lower layer only by adhesive on both outer sides.
  • the lower layer has an adhesive coating, with which the label can be glued over the opening of a package, for example, the above-mentioned carton.
  • these tips are glued so that the tips of the zigzag-shaped stampings in the upper layer do not protrude.
  • JP 2002-042222 A a label with several layers of material is shown, which are interconnected by two spatially separate adhesive areas. Lines of weakness in the layers of material lie within the adhesive coated sections.
  • the security label comprises a first web-shaped label layer with a top side and a bottom side, a second web-shaped label layer with an upper side and a lower side and a weakening line, which is introduced into the second label layer.
  • the security label further comprises a first adhesive application, which connects the underside of the first label layer and the top of the second label layer on at least two mutually spatially separated areas.
  • the security label comprises a second adhesive application, which is applied to the underside of the second label layer on at least two spatially separated areas.
  • the second label layer is on the top and the bottom in the area of Line of weakness glue-free.
  • the weakening line of the security label completely penetrates the second label layer between its upper and lower sides. Furthermore, the weakening lines are zigzag-shaped or wavy or curved.
  • the above-mentioned desire can also be met with a container, wherein the container comprises a closure region, which is secured with a security label according to the invention.
  • the structure of the security label according to the invention is therefore designed so that pre-defined parts of the security label are completely free of adhesive arranged by stampings. These parts fall out reliably after cutting.
  • a further film layer above the stampings described ensures that an alleged counterfeiter does not have direct access to the stampings and thus the stamped parts and the falling out parts are protected against external manipulation.
  • the weakening line of the security label completely penetrates the second label layer between the top and the bottom, it can be ensured that after opening some of the cut parts fall out safely and the label thus reliably indicates the opening attempt.
  • Particularly suitable for this purpose is a zigzag-shaped course of the weakening line.
  • the weakening line is a stamped in the second label layer. By such stamping can be done easily a reliable separation of the second web.
  • An embodiment of the security tag comprises a second label layer having at least two outer edges, the weakening line extending from one outer edge to another outer edge. This ensures that the second material web is completely severed between these two outer edges and can reliably fall out of the opening attempt due to the cutting through some parts.
  • the first label layer is at least partially transparent. This allows a reliable control through the transparent label layer on the underlying second label layer and thus a control of a possible manipulation attempt. Furthermore, preferably the second label layer is opaque, whereby good contrast enables fast and reliable control.
  • the second label layer is at least partially printed. Thus, additional information can be added to the label.
  • the security tag further comprises a grip tab.
  • this grip tab is connected to the first label layer.
  • a particularly convenient opening of provided in such a label packaging can be done.
  • FIG. 1 shows first a cross section through the structure of a security label according to the invention.
  • the label essentially comprises two web-shaped label layers 10 and 20 or label webs 10 and 20.
  • the two label layers 10 and 20 are films having the same material thickness.
  • the same film material can be used for the two label layers 10 and 20.
  • the two web-shaped label layers 10 and 20 have approximately the same dimensions in length and width. In a specific embodiment, the two label layers 10 and 20 are the same size.
  • the upper, first label layer 10 is formed from a continuous, intact film.
  • a line of weakness 50 is introduced in the lower, second label layers 20 .
  • this weakening line 50 may be a punched-in.
  • this stamping penetrates the second label layer 20 completely.
  • the weakening line 50 may, as in FIG. 2 that is, the line of weakness comprises a plurality of rectilinear sections, of which, with the exception of the first and last sections, exactly two sections abut one another at each end point of a section.
  • the end points of the sections forming the zigzag-shaped profile are offset relative to one another along the outer edges 23, 24 of the label. While one endpoint is offset in the forward direction, the other endpoint of the same portion is offset backward.
  • the weakening line 50 may also have a wavy or a curved course.
  • the weakening line 50 extends completely between the two opposite outer edges 23 and 24.
  • the weakening line 50 extends from the upper outer edge 23 to the parallel lower outer edge 24.
  • the construction according to the invention can also be realized with a second film 20 in which the weakening line 50 runs completely inside or only at a single outer edge 23 or 24 ends.
  • the two label layers 10 and 20 are arranged as congruent one above the other, so that the bottom 12 of the first label layer 10 comes to rest on the top 21 of the second label layer 20.
  • the two label layers are connected by means of a strong adhesive 30 preferably non-detachably.
  • the adhesive 30 may be highly adhesive and is only partially disposed between the two label layers 10 and 20 in the space between the two label layers. At least one region a above the weakening line 50 remains free of adhesive.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of a security label 1 and illustrates in particular the arrangement of the areas b with the adhesive 30.
  • the adhesive 30 is preferably applied in the two outer, spatially separated edge regions b, while the inner region a, in which also the line of weakness 50, is adhesive-free.
  • the adhesive-free region a preferably separates the two adhesive regions b into two spatially separate regions.
  • a function according to the invention can in principle also be achieved if one or more narrow connections exist between the two adhesive regions b (not shown).
  • a partial adhesive application 40 is also present on the underside 22. Even with these adhesive application 40, the inner region a of the second label layers 20 remains free of adhesive. Preferably, too this adhesive application 40 is arranged analogously to the first adhesive application 30 only in the two spatially separate outer regions b.
  • this adhesive application as well as the complete underside of the second label web 20 can be covered with a liner 60.
  • This liner 60 is peeled off again before the application of the security label 1, thus releasing the adhesive 40, so that the security label 1 can be adhered to the desired position.
  • FIG. 3 shows a container 2, which has been secured with a security label 1 according to the invention.
  • the label 1 seals the closure region 200 of the container 2.
  • the security label 1 in the region a of the weakening line 50 must now be severed.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the cutting through the above-described security label 1.
  • the line 100 here represents a section line as it is required when severing the label 1 to open the container 2.
  • a plurality of free regions 110 are now formed in the lower, second label layers 20, which are formed on the one hand by the cut edge 100 and on the other hand by the weakening line 50. Since these free areas 110 no longer have any connection to the rest of the label 1, these elements 110 fall out during opening. The absence of these parts 110 therefore reliably signals the first opening of the package 2.
  • the free areas 110 are triangles in the embodiment shown.
  • the label is well suited as an effective first-hole detection.
  • the lower material layer 20 has the tendency to align as straight as possible.
  • the first bent over elements of the lower material layer 20 align in a straight line.
  • suitable shaping it will subsequently be impossible to bring these aligned parts back to their original position and to attach the upper material layer 10 or a replacement for it.
  • the stiffness of the plastic of the label layer 20 is to be chosen such that the plastic relaxes after opening the container and is rectilinear or tangential in continuation of the direction predetermined by the surface of the container aligns.
  • the label layer 10 may be formed on the other hand from a plastic which has a lower or even substantially lower rigidity.
  • the label 1 on the upper material layer 10 may therefore be advantageous to provide the label 1 on the upper material layer 10 with an additional grip tab 80, as shown for example in FIG FIG. 5 is shown. A user can then grab the grip tab 80 and pull off the upper material layer 10 to open the vessel. Since the lower material layer 20 has already been severed along the weakening line 50, the vessel can then be opened without additional measures, such as the cutting through of the label.
  • the lower material layer 20 In a later reclosure of the vessel, the lower material layer 20 would be bent uncontrollably in the region of the cutting line 50 and can not be introduced in their original state. Thus, the previous opening of the vessel can be reliably detected.
  • the upper label layer 10 is preferably transparent or at least translucent. This transparency is required at least in the area a of the weakening line 50. Alternatively, however, the entire upper film layer 10 may be transparent or translucent.
  • top label layer 10 on the top 11 also additionally with a label, for example, an imprint, are provided.
  • a label for example, an imprint
  • additional information can be provided to the user in connection with the product or even with the opening certificate.
  • the upper foil layers 10 outside the area a can also be provided with an opaque primer.
  • Opacity of the second film layer 20 may be achieved either by choosing a suitable non-transparent material or alternatively by using a transparent film layer which is subsequently provided with an opaque color. In the latter case, it is sufficient to provide the film layer 20 in the region of the weakening line 50 with this color.
  • the invention relates to a security label, from several film layers. To open a jar that has been sealed with this security label, the label must be cut so that some small elements come out of the label for secure optical detection of opening.
