Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a value or security product having a product body with two outer sides. Such products are usually equipped with at least one non-individualizing security printing and at least one individualizing security feature. Furthermore, the present invention also relates to a method for producing such a value or security product.
  • Value or security products in particular securities or security documents, are used to verify the identity of a person, in particular when crossing a state border, or thing or claim, for example, on payment of a sum of money or on the release of a product or service.
  • the product therefore contains security features whose imitation is extremely difficult or even practically impossible.
  • the product such as banknotes, consists of a not readily available material.
  • security features can be provided by special colors, for example luminescent or optically variable colors, optical elements such as holograms, tilt images, kinegraphic objects, lens or prism arrays, also guilloches (with visible colors / inks or luminescent colors / inks), mottled fibers, security threads and others, be formed.
  • special colors for example luminescent or optically variable colors, optical elements such as holograms, tilt images, kinegraphic objects, lens or prism arrays, also guilloches (with visible colors / inks or luminescent colors / inks), mottled fibers, security threads and others, be formed.
  • the security features used in the value or security products, in particular securities or security documents, can only serve to prove the authenticity of the documents, regardless of their nature or by their user.
  • Personalizing for example, personalizing security features also contain in coded form or in plain text information about the type of document, about the user this document and / or an item to which the document is clearly assigned. Such information may be a facial image (photograph) of the user, his or her personal data such as name, date of birth, place of birth, address, or a personal identifier such as a membership number or his / her signature.
  • Another security feature that individualizes the value or security product can be, for example, a serial number of the product or the chassis number of a motor vehicle to which the product is assigned.
  • Identification documents are generally initially produced in the form of non-individualized blanks (product bodies). This production section typically takes place in a central production site, since the blanks do not differ from each other and can therefore be mass produced. Individualization, for example personalization, of the blanks can also be carried out in the central production, for example by affixing the name, the address, the date of birth and the place of birth as well as a face image of the document holder in the document.
  • the execution of this processing step in a central manufacturing plant is logistically disadvantageous. For this reason, it is preferred to decentralize the documents in order to be able to ensure rapid processing, for example in outlets for value or security documents.
  • security features and in particular individualization data are to be affixed to an internal level of the security or security product, since in this way it can be better ensured that the products are less susceptible to tampering attempts:
  • the laminate body comprises at least two color fields, which are arranged one above the other and each of which lies in one of at least two color planes.
  • the color fields are preferably printed with printing inks.
  • the color planes are arranged inside the laminate body.
  • personalization data may be written to a card inlay by means of a laser beam ( DE-PS 29 07004 B1 ).
  • the object of the present invention to generate individualization data in a decentralized production site even in multicolored representation on a value or security product.
  • the multicolored representation should be able to be formed in photo quality. Accordingly, it should not be readily possible to manipulate the data distort). In addition, the manipulation should be made easy to see them easily recognize the value or security product can.
  • the term, value or security product ' which may be in particular a valuable or security document or a security element is used, for example, a passport, identity card, driver's license, an access control card or a other ID card, a vehicle registration document, vehicle registration document, visa, check, means of payment, in particular a banknote, a check, bank, credit or cash card, customer card, health card, chip card, a company card, proof of entitlement, membership card, gift or purchase voucher, Bill of lading or other proof of entitlement, tax stamp, postage stamp, ticket, token or other document to understand.
  • a product according to the invention may also be a security element, for example a sticker, adhesive label (for example for article surveillance), patch or the like, having the security feature according to the invention and having a precursor of a security or security document or another article, for example with one to be marked
  • An article whose authenticity is to be guaranteed can be permanently connected to form the value or security document or this marked article.
  • this item may be a copy of a limited series of similar items whose uniqueness is documented by numbering. This numbering can be realized by the individualization of the security element provided with the security feature.
  • the value or security product can also be a smartcard, for example.
  • the value or security document may be in ID 1, ID 2, ID 3, or any other normalized or non-normalized format, such as in a booklet form, such as a passport-like item, or, for example, in card form.
  • a value or security product is generally a laminate of several document layers, which are connected in register under the action of heat and under increased pressure. These products should meet the standardized requirements, for example according to ISO 10373, ISO / IEC 7810, ISO 14443.
  • the product layers consist for example of a carrier material that is suitable for a lamination.
  • the value or security product may be formed from a polymer selected from a group comprising polycarbonate (PC), in particular bisphenol A polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), their derivatives such as glycol modified PET (PETG), polyethylene naphthalate (PCT).
  • PC polycarbonate
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • PET glycol modified PET
  • PCT polyethylene naphthalate
  • PEN polyvinyl chloride
  • PVB polyvinyl butyral
  • PMMA polymethyl methacrylate
  • PI polyimide
  • PVA polyvinyl alcohol
  • PS polystyrene
  • PVP polyvinylphenol
  • PP polypropylene
  • PE polyethylene
  • TPE thermoplastic elastomers
  • TPU thermoplastic polyurethane
  • ABS acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer
  • the product can also be made of several of these materials. It preferably consists of PC or PC / TPU / PC.
  • the polymers may be either filled or unfilled.
  • the product is preferably prepared from 3 to 12 films, preferably 4 to 10 films.
  • the films may also carry print layers.
  • the above objects are achieved by the value or security product according to the invention.
  • the value or security product is formed by a product body (non-individualized blank) with two outer sides.
  • the value or security product has at least one non-individualizing security print and at least one individualizing security feature.
  • the at least one non-individualizing security print and the at least one individualizing security feature are printed overlapping on at least one of the outer sides of the product body in the same printing plane.
  • At least one of the outer sides of the value or security product is covered with a structured protective layer.
  • the possibility of multicolored production of an individualizing mark in a decentralized manufacturing facility is opened up. Because the product body can be made without difficulty with conventional technologies with this mark on the outside by the license plate is printed, for example, in a conventional manner.
  • the inventive value or security product that a falsification of the value or security product is easily recognizable.
  • This is achieved by making an intimate connection of the ink / ink for the individualizing security feature with the ink / ink of the non-individualizing security print because that security feature and security print are overlapping on the outside of the product body in the same print plane. If a counterfeiter tries to remove the distinguishing marks from the value or security product so that subsequently a changed individualizing mark can be attached, the non-individualizing security print is removed at the same time and without the counterfeiter being able to prevent this.
  • the security pressure generally extends over a larger area of the surface of the valuable or security product and also overlaps, for example, with still other security features, a replacement of the security pressure with reasonable effort is not possible. Therefore, such a manipulation of the value or security product remains recognizable on the basis of the at least partial destruction of the security pressure.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that a value or security product with a small thickness, in particular in the form of a thin card, can be produced, since for the at least one individualizing security feature and the at least one non-individualizing security print, which are created in a common printing layer, only one slide must be claimed.
  • the individualizing security feature may be any common identifier for individualization, in particular personalization, of the value or security product, for example the personal data of a document holder, such as name, date and place of birth, address or root number of the document holder, or a serial number of the document or another identification mark. This data can be reproduced with alphanumeric characters, for example.
  • the individualizing security feature can be formed by biometric data, such as a fingerprint, a face image, the hand-line structure, iris or retina, or by its own handwritten reproduction of the name of the cardholder (signature). The biometric data as well as the signature can all be reproduced in pictorial representations.
  • the non-individualizing security printing can be formed by any pattern or other representation of a non-individualizing the value or security product image, for example, by guilloches, a wallpaper, carpet or fabric pattern, a visual representation of visual art or other graphic design.
  • Both the at least one individualizing security feature and the at least one non-individualizing security printing can either be applied only to an outer side of the product body, or at least one individualizing security feature and at least one non-individualizing security print can be located on both outer sides of the product body.
  • Both the non-individualizing security printing and the individualizing security feature can be formed with printing inks / inks that produce a visually recognizable printed image.
  • the printing inks / inks used for this purpose contain suitable pigments and / or dyes which absorb in the visible spectral range. Such pigments and dyes are well known and common in the art.
  • the latter pigments and dyes can luminesce, for example, in the visible spectral range, so that they give a visually detectable luminescence after excitation with electromagnetic radiation, for example in the IR or UV spectral range.
  • the inks / inks for the at least one individualizing security feature and the at least one non-individualized security print may be different with respect to the above alternatives.
  • the individualizing security feature is printed with a polycarbonate based ink / ink.
  • Such ink / ink accordingly contains a binder formed by a polycarbonate.
  • polycarbonates as binders for printing inks / inks, which are prepared by using a geminally disubstituted dihydroxydiphenylcycloalkane, preferably monomers such as 4,4 '- (3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane-1,1-diyl) -diphenol, 4,4 '- (3,3-dimethylcyclohexane-1,1-diyl) diphenol or 4,4' - (2,4,4-trimethylcyclopentane-1,1-diyl) diphenol.
  • Such polycarbonates are in DE 10 2007 052 947 A1 (Local component A) described.
  • the disclosure of this document, at least with respect to the starting materials and preparation conditions for polycarbonates, is hereby incorporated by reference into the present application.
  • the product body is made of a polycarbonate or contains at least one of the outer sides or sides printed with the at least one non-individualizing security print and the at least one individualizing security feature.
  • the entire product body may be made of or contain polycarbonates.
  • only arranged on the outer sides of film layers of a laminated product body may consist of polycarbonate or contain this.
  • the at least one individualizing security feature has penetrated into the outside of the product body, for example by diffusion. With this measure it can be achieved that the printing ink / ink of the individualizing security feature is less easily removable from an outer side of the product body than the printing ink / ink of the non-individualizing security print. If a falsification of the value or security product is therefore attempted, the security pressure arranged there is at least damaged before the individualizing mark is removed.
  • the ink / ink of the individualizing security feature can be matched to the material of the exterior to which it is printed.
  • One way of such a vote is in a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to select for the ink / ink on the one hand and the material of the product body on the other hand, chemically similar materials, ie materials that each consist at least substantially of the same polymer. It is very particularly preferred if both the printing ink and the outer side material of the product body consist of or contain polycarbonates.
  • a further alternative or additional possibility of such a coordination of the materials to one another is to select the composition of the printing ink / ink in such a way that it contains a solvent that is compatible with the material of the outer sides of the product body.
  • the solvent is believed to have the effect of dissolving the material on the outside of the product body so that the ink / ink can penetrate into the material.
  • the product body is printed during the printing of the individualizing security feature ( Process step (b)) is heated to a temperature above room temperature, for example to a temperature of at least 40 ° C, more preferably of at least 50 ° C, even more preferably of at least 60 ° C and even more preferably of at least 65 ° C.
  • the maximum temperature which should not be exceeded in order to prevent the material of the product body from being deformed, excessively expanded or subjected to other adverse influences under the action of heating depends on the nature and composition of the product body and the ink / ink dependent. Therefore, the maximum temperature is preferably not more than 120 ° C, more preferably not more than 110 ° C, still more preferably not more than 100 ° C, even more preferably not more than 90 ° C, and most preferably not more than 80 ° C. If the temperature is too high, there is a risk that the position accuracy of the pressure can no longer be guaranteed.
  • the product body is therefore most preferably heated to about 70 ° C during printing with the at least one individualizing security feature.
  • the non-individualizing security pressure extends over the entire outside of the product body.
  • the non-individualizing security pressure can also cover only a partial area of the outside of the product body, for example in a surface area of maximum 25%, more preferably at most 50% and most preferably at most 75%. This area coverage is preferably at least 10% and more preferably at least 15% and most preferably at least 20%.
  • This reconstruction is particularly difficult according to yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention, when the non-individualizing security printing extends over an area on the outside of the product body in which there is another security feature of the value or security product, i. overlaps with this further security feature, and even more preferred if this further security feature is also arranged in the same plane in the value or security product in which the non-individualizing security printing is arranged. Because in this case, this further security feature would also be affected in a reconstruction of non-individualizing security printing. It is further preferred if this further security feature is likewise a printing feature. Most preferably, this further security feature is a printing feature located in the same printing plane as the non-individualizing security print.
  • the non-individualizing security printing may first be printed on the films which are provided for the production of the product body by lamination, and not on at least one of the outer sides of the finished laminated product body.
  • This approach offers the advantage of simpler printing technology, since the films can be easily processed in a roll-to-roll process, while the laminates are available only in one piece and thus a continuous print production is not possible.
  • the laminates are less flexible and thus can not readily be processed by conventional printing techniques.
  • customary printing processes can be used, such as offset printing, flexographic printing and screen printing.
  • a web offset printing process is used.
  • the laminate may, in addition to the non-individualizing security print and individualizing security feature printed on the at least one outer side of the product body, also have print layers on surfaces lying in the laminate. These inner print layers are printed on the films prior to lamination, which are then laminated together.
  • the inner printing layers can be produced with conventional printing inks / inks. Again, these inks / inks contain suitable pigments and / or dyes which absorb in the visible spectral region and are well known and conventional in the art. Alternatively or additionally, these printing inks / inks may also contain luminescent pigments and / or luminescent dyes which may have the spectral properties mentioned in connection with the non-individualizing security printing and the individualizing security feature.
  • At least one internal design pressure can furthermore be provided as the printing layer.
  • the at least one design print and the at least one non-individualizing security print are in each case in the form of at least one security mark passergenau and complementary to each other arranged so that the at least one security mark only by a manipulation of the value or security product is recognizable and is present without manipulation only latent ie is imperceptible.
  • Design printing is the negative to the non-individualizing security printing or vice versa.
  • Free areas in design printing thus encounter pressure areas in non-individualizing security printing, and open spaces in non-individualizing security printing encounter printing areas in design printing, ie the free areas and pressure areas of the two prints are preferably one above the other when viewed vertically from the value or security product.
  • the free areas or pressure areas of both prints can also be viewed at a certain angle relative to the surface normal of the value or security product, for example at an angle in a range of over 0 ° to 80 ° to the surface normal, complement, so that the security indicator is then imperceptible (latent), if the non-individualizing security printing is undamaged, but then becomes noticeable when the non-individualizing security pressure is at least partially removed by a manipulation, so then only by the design print formed part of the safety mark is recognizable.
  • the design print can be designed in the form of a security print, for example in the form of guilloches.
  • separating layers can be arranged between the laminating sheets and an external non-individualizing security printing.
  • release liners can be formed for example by films of polyimide, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate or an acrylate-epoxy-modified polyester. These films do not bond with the outer sides of the product body and can therefore be removed again after lamination.

  • This configuration protects the individualizing security feature against adulteration, since the close interpenetration of the printing inks / inks of both security features makes isolated manipulation of the individualizing security feature impossible.
  • a manipulation is made immediately visible, possibly after excitation (for example with 365 nm radiation) of printing inks / inks, which are otherwise visually imperceptible in the visible spectral range.

  • the superimposition of the non-individualizing security print 128 by the individualizing security feature 200 is shown in a cross-sectional view: the individualizing security feature is printed on the surface 125 of the product body 150 already printed with the non-individualizing security print.
  • the individualizing security feature for this purpose, the used ink / ink of the individualizing security feature, for example, be printed with an inkjet printing process. This ink penetrates, in particular diffuses, into the surface of the material of the product body and also coats the pre-existing ink of the non-individualizing security print.
  • protective layers 300 are additionally applied to the outer sides 125 of the blank 150 and thus to the security print 128 and the facial images 200.
  • These protective layers are formed, for example, by lacquer layers which, like the facial images, can be produced by means of ink jet printing.
  • These paint layers are also structured (in Fig. 1 only indicated schematically).
  • the structuring 310 of the two lacquer layers in the form of the facial image is formed by producing the facial image representing dark image parts (generated from halftone halftone images) in the form of thickened (or alternatively thinner) locations in the lacquer layers.
  • the facial image 200 and the protective layers 300 may preferably be applied to the blank 150 in a remote manufacturing facility.
  • non-personalized blanks from the central manufacturing facility in the decentralized manufacturing facilities, such as issuing points for the value or security documents, transported.
  • the personalizing security print layer and the protective layer can be printed on the blank.
  • the personalizing security print layers 200 can not be manipulated without necessarily being noticed. For if it is attempted to remove the personalizing security printing layer (personalizing security feature), for example by means of a chemical solvent, so that another security feature, for example the face image of another person, can subsequently be attached, the one in contact with the security printing layer will also be in contact Security pressure 128 attacked.
  • Fig. 3 Examples of such manipulation attempts are shown: In 3a, 3b views of identification cards 100 are shown, each having a passport photograph 200 as an individualizing security feature and a security print 128 overlapping therewith.
  • FIG. 4 another embodiment of the present invention is shown:
  • the product body formed by the core 110 and overlay layers 120 is as in FIG Fig. 2 constructed and has on the outer sides 125 on a non-individualizing security printing 128, such as guilloches on.
  • a non-individualizing security printing 128, such as guilloches on is printed on the outside in accordance with the invention.
  • an individualizing security feature 200 in the present case a serial number, for example by means of a numbering device is printed on the outside in accordance with the invention.
  • a design pressure 118 located in the product body between the overlay layer 120 and the core 110, a design pressure 118, which may also be formed in the form of guilloches.
  • non-individualizing security print 128 and design print 118 are each in the form of the same tag 180, in the form of the word representation 'VOID'.
  • both prints 118, 128 each have free areas and pressure areas which are designated by the reference numbers 160, 170 ( Fig. 4a ).
  • the free areas of the non-individualizing security print are exactly, ie register-accurate, over the print areas of the design print (in the areas 160) and the print areas of the non-individualized security print exactly over the free areas of the print shop Design print (in the ranges 170).
  • the outdoor areas and printing areas of both prints have the same shape, size and arrangement, they are complementary to each other. The registration accuracy of both prints is achieved by exact lateral and angular alignment.
  • both prints 118, 128 complement each other so that the security feature 180 is imperceptible to a viewer ( Fig. 4b ).
  • the security indicator becomes visible ( Fig. 4c : complete removal of non-individualizing security printing).
  • a part of the individualizing security feature 200 has also been removed together with the non-individualizing security print, specifically the number '0'. This is the result of the overlap of the non-individualizing security print and the individualizing security feature in the same print layer 126.
