  • Security documents are considered to be documents which have at least one feature which makes copying, duplicating and / or falsifying or the like considerably more difficult or impossible.
  • Security documents include, for example, passports, identity cards, identity cards, access cards, driver's licenses, visas, credit cards, postage stamps, securities, but also security-enhanced tickets, seals of authenticity or counterfeit-protected packaging, to enumerate some by way of example. Common to all is that they include at least one, usually several security features or security elements that make it difficult or impossible falsification, imitation, duplication and / or unauthorized production.
  • a portable data carrier such as a smart card known in which a security feature by introducing recesses, Filling the recesses is produced with a translucent material and curing of the translucent material, wherein the translucent material contains constituents that can be excited by luminescence and UV or IR irradiation.
  • the DE 10 2010 023 218 A1 describes a method for producing a security document with a watermark.
  • a plurality of recesses are introduced, which do not completely penetrate the at least one film or the stacked films.
  • the recesses lead to a reduction in opacity. If the recesses have different depths, different opacities can be achieved in the region of the differently deep recesses.
  • a method and a device for producing a security document and a security document are known.
  • a substrate of a security document holes are introduced on the surface and applied in this an ink.
  • This is preferably designed such that it comprises colorants which diffuse into the substrate.
  • the ink applied by printing is introduced deeper into the document than an ink printed only on the surface and is thus better protected against adulteration and / or damage during use.
  • these nowadays comprise in the majority of cases a lamination body produced from a plurality of plastic layers.
  • a lamination body In such a lamination body, a plurality of different security features or security elements can be integrated. It is customary, for example, to partially or completely print the individual plastic layers prior to assembly by means of a lamination process and to store the individualization information in the security document via this.
  • the patent document DE 10 2010 035 890 A1 discloses a method of making an individualized security document, comprising: providing a plurality of substrate layers; Gathering the substrate layers into a substrate layer stack and laminating the substrate layers gathered in the substrate layer stack to a lamination body.
  • the individualization information is usually printed on an outer surface of a security document blank.
  • the printing is usually done by thermal transfer printing or inkjet printing and can be done in color. It is also known to use UV-curing printing preparations for this purpose.
  • the printed information is covered by another film or a lacquer layer. Such a further film is laminated, for example, to the document blank.
  • the temperatures and pressures that would be necessary to bond such a film to the remaining security document blank to a monolithic body can not be achieved.
  • a disadvantage of the known methods is that the protective layers can often be removed without destruction, so that subsequently the printed individualization information can be falsified or even completely removed and replaced. Subsequently, in many cases, the protective layer can either be replaced by an identical new protective layer or the previously removed protective layer can be applied again. Decentralized individualized security documents thus generally have a much lower level of security, especially with regard to subsequent falsification.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved method for producing an individualized security document, in which preferably colored, particularly preferably full-color customization information can be stored in the security document, which improved protection against adulteration compared to printed on the surface Has security documents. Furthermore, the object of the invention is to provide a method for producing a security document blank with which such individualization is possible.
  • the invention is based on the idea of providing or producing security document blanks in such a way that they comprise a lamination body in which a large number of security features are already integrated.
  • the lamination body is formed and provided such that it has a plurality of recesses in an outer surface on an outer surface at least in a marking region.
  • the individualization information is now applied to the outer surface in such a way that at least part of the individualization information penetrates into the recesses.
  • a manipulation of the thus applied customization information is hardly possible, since in this case also at least the outer material layer, are embossed in the wells, damaged.
  • the individualization information in the wells can not usually be completely overprinted by components of a forged and thus "new" customization information.
  • a security feature is a feature that makes it difficult or impossible to falsify, imitate, or unauthorize an item.
  • a security element is an entity that has at least one security feature. For the purpose of this definition, every security document also constitutes a security element.
  • a monolithic lamination body is considered to be a body produced from a plurality of different layers, in which the individual substrate layers are joined together in such a way that, due to the chemical structure, the layer boundaries existing in front of the lamination can no longer be detected as phase transitions in the finished lamination body. It is obvious to a person skilled in the art that the originally present different substrate layers in the finished lamination body can be determined, for example, on the basis of the different admixtures of additives which contained the substrate layers used for producing the lamination body prior to lamination.
  • a lamination body that composed of a plastic layer colored in color by means of color pigments in the volume and a transparent color-neutral plastic layer to form a monolithic lamination body, has in the finished lamination body different material layers which show different properties with respect to an interaction with light. With regard to the chemical polymer structure, however, a phase transition in a monolithic lamination body can not be detected.
  • any information is individually associated with a security document to be produced. This means that this information differs for differently manufactured security documents.
  • Personalization information is defined as such individualization information that is assigned to a person to whom the security document produced or to be produced is or will be assigned.
  • a printing device As a digital printing device, a printing device is considered, which is provided for printing information in such a way that different information can be printed on successively manufactured plungers, without thereby a throughput of the printing device is significantly reduced or even setup times would be necessary.
  • Inkjet printers or plotters are digital printing devices.
  • the print image can be determined by a digital file.
  • other digital printing devices print by a transfer printing process.
  • As an information layer a plane inside a document body which has emerged from a printed surface of a substrate layer is referred to.
  • the recesses are formed with opening dimensions on the outer surface in the range of 100 microns to 400 microns, preferably in the range of 150 microns to 300 microns and most preferably in the range of 200 microns +/- 10 microns.
  • the diameters of the individual pits correspond approximately to the size of individual image pixels or a small number of image pixels when printing the customization information with a print resolution of about 600 dpi.

  • a depth of the recesses is preferably in the range between 30 .mu.m and 200 .mu.m, more preferably between 50 .mu.m and 150 .mu.m.
  • Lamination bodies have proven to be particularly suitable in which the multiplicity of depressions of a marking area are respectively introduced in a regular grid. This creates the possibility of storing almost any information in the security document to be produced solely by the proportion of the individualization information that is printed in the recesses. Similarly, almost any customization information may be printed such that one portion is stored on the outer surface and another portion is stored in the recesses. The prerequisite, however, is that the depressions form a grid in which the spacings of the depressions are small compared to the extent of the printed information structures.
  • a grid is formed so that the centers of the recess on the outer surface have a distance from each other in the range of 1.2 times to 10 times the diameter of the recess on the outer surface, preferably in the region of the 1.3 times to 1.4 times the diameter, and most preferably 1.4 times the diameter.
  • the recesses of a marking area all have the same geometric shape. This facilitates targeted printing in individual recesses when marking the security document blank. Furthermore, added and simulated pits can be more easily recognized because it is extremely difficult to accurately replicate pits of the same outer shape. This applies Especially when the individual wells also have the same dimensions in terms of their geometric shape in a plane of the outer surface.
  • the recesses occupy about 40% of the outer surface in the region of the regular grid.
  • Such an area ratio of the openings can be realized without impairing stability of the lamination body in the marking area.
  • An area ratio of about 40% of the outer surface, the wells can accept even with an irregular arrangement of the wells.
  • embodiments are also possible in which the recesses make up an area fraction of the outer surface which is in the range of 5% to 30%. As a result, stability and rigidity of the produced security document can be adjusted.
  • the area fraction of the depressions, d. H. the openings, in the outer surface may be in a row in the range of 5% to 30%.
  • the recesses are equidistant from one another in a row. If the rows, which have the same depression spacings and similar depressions, are oriented parallel to one another and have the same spacings to one another, this results in regular patterns.
  • the area ratio of the recesses in the outer surface is preferably between 5% and 40%.
  • a geometric shape of the recesses which has a polygonal cross-section in a plane of the surface of the security document blank or in a plane parallel to this surface.
  • triangles, squares, rectangles, trapezoids, equilateral polygons, etc. are considered as angular cross-sectional shapes and shapes.
  • Recesses with an angular cross-section are particularly difficult to replicate, so that such an angular cross-sectional shape or cross-sectional shape provides increased security against counterfeiting and counterfeiting.
  • the area percentages of the apertures in the marking area may be 40%, but the cavities of the alternative embodiment have different geometrical shapes. Again, different angular cross-sectional shapes are preferred. However, it is also possible to use round, for example circular, oval cross-sectional shapes and forms. Also, a combination of angular and circular cross-sectional shapes and shapes is provided in some alternative embodiments.
  • the depressions are imprinted by means of a laminating sheet during the lamination to the lamination body in a substrate layer forming the outer surface of the lamination body.
  • the depressions can be embossed and formed in an already executed step.

  • the formation of the plurality of depressions may be effected by ultrasound being coupled into a sonotrode while it is in contact with at least a portion of the outer surface of the lamination body, thereby embossing the depressions.
  • the sonotrode has a contact surface with a plurality of structuring regions formed separately from each other, each having a plurality of bulges and the contact surface in each case circumferentially around each Structuring region is formed just and by means of the sonotrode during the coupling of ultrasound into the outer surface of the lamination body a plurality of marking areas each having a plurality of depressions are impressed.
  • a multiple benefit is divided into individual security document blanks prior to individualization. If individualization is carried out centrally, individualization can take place before separation.
  • One embodiment thus provides for the lamination body to be divided into a plurality of security document blanks, each of which has at least one of the plurality of marking areas.
  • the recesses of the marking area are impressed with different depths with respect to a flat smooth area of the outer surface, which surrounds the marking area with the plurality of recesses circumferentially.
  • the proportion of information printed or to be printed in the recesses is thus introduced and stored at different levels or depths of the document relative to the outer surface of the security document blank. In the case of counterfeiting, this makes it particularly difficult to remove the old information that has to be manipulated.

  • protrusions can not be formed to a temperature close to the glass transition temperature of the plastic material of the outer material layer or even to a temperature above the glass transition temperature.
  • cold-stamping methods and laser ablation methods for forming the pits have been eliminated since projections can not be realized with these methods.

  • the entire customization information can be printed pixel-precise in the wells.
  • the outer material layer is preferably transparent and neutral in color.
  • the individualization information may be applied over the entire area to the marking region, so that part of the individualization information is printed on the outer surface and a part of the individualization information is printed in the depressions.
  • the individual information components for example components of a facial image, are then stored correlated to one another in different levels of the finished security document. This can be used for verification purposes of the security document. Even if the information portion applied to the outer surface, which is more easily accessible to manipulation, is distorted, it can be detected by the correlation between the proportion deposited on the outer surface and the proportion of the individualization information printed in the recesses , no longer completely exists.
  • the individualization information can also be applied in part to the marking area in the manner that part of the individualization information is printed on the outer surface and a part of the individualization information is printed in the wells, but a part of the outer surface remains unprinted.

  • the individualization information is printed by means of an inkjet printing process by means of one or more preparations.

  • the individualization information is combined with a security print which is applied to an information layer during the production of the lamination body.
  • the document body is thus particularly preferably provided with a security print on an information layer, and the depressions are formed such that they have a depth which corresponds to the material layer thickness of the outer material layer.
  • the proportion of the individualization information printed on the information layer through the pits is thus linked to the security print on the information layer. If a counterfeiter succeeds in removing portions of the individualization information printed on the information layer, this likewise leads to a change and / or damage to the security printing.
  • preparations can be used which are translucent or transparent in the printed state, so that parts of the security print can still be perceived despite the overprinting by the individualization information.
  • the individualization information is printed by means of at least one preparation which comprises a solvent which attacks the material of the outer material layer and / or the information layer so that the colorants of the preparation diffuse into the walls of the depressions in the outer material layer and / or or the information layer is favored.

  • FIG. 5a to 5g are schematic plan views of each two wells of a microstructure 20 shown. Corresponding cross-sectional views of the corresponding embossed recesses are correspondingly in the FIGS. 6a to 6g shown. It can be seen that different forms of form can be realized.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 5a and 6a shows circular, conically tapered depressions.
  • a diameter 22 of the recesses is between 150 and 300 microns.
  • a depth 35 of the recesses 14 is between 50 and 150 microns.
  • the recesses are formed as tapered, tapered recesses in the document body.
  • a diameter 36 at a bottom 37 is about 100 microns.
  • the recesses are circular cylindrical.
  • a grid spacing 22b within a structure row is, for example, 500 or 1000 ⁇ m.
  • the wells of the embodiment according to Fig. 5d and 6d are also circular in plan view and taper inwardly, but are cylindrical in an upper portion 38 and spherical in a lower portion 39.
  • the embodiment according to Fig. 5e and 6e shows tapered depressions, which have a square cross-section in the plane of the outer surface 19. Similar to the embodiment of Fig. 5b and 6b is in the embodiment according to Fig. 5f and 6f to observe a taper of the depression cross-section, but the depression is not pointed down but flat. Again, the cross-sectional shape is square. In the embodiment according to Fig. 5g and 6g the recesses are not tapered and formed with a rectangular cross section in the plane of the outer surface 19.
  • cross-sectional profiles of the recesses correspond to those profiles which bulges 63 of a lamination 60 must have on a contact surface 61 to impress the corresponding recesses in the outer surface 19 of the lamination body 11.
  • Such lamination sheets 60 are shown schematically in FIG Fig. 7a to 7g shown.
  • a cross-section through a lamination body 11 is shown schematically by way of example.
  • 19 cylindrical depressions are formed in the surface.
  • Fig. 9 are also cylindrical recesses formed, however, additional projections are formed between the wells. These project against a smooth area 42, which is formed around the marking area 7 smoothly and flat. The recesses, however, penetrate into the lamination body 11 relative to the level of the smooth area 42.
  • a depth of the depressions belonging to the microstructuring varies.
  • the variation takes place again in a regular grid, so that, for example, the depressions have alternately different depths. Of course, more than two depths can be realized.
  • a structured sonotrode can also be used. This also has a plurality of bulges in a corresponding geometric configuration analogous to FIGS. 7a to 7g on.
  • ultrasound is coupled into the sonotrode so that the surface is locally heated and the sonotrode penetrates into the surface 19 and forms the depressions 14.
  • a lamination sheet or sonotrode has corresponding indentations to receive and displace material displaced during the formation of the indentations and to shape them accordingly for the protrusions. Projections can be formed analogously to the shapes of the wells by means of different geometries.
