Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a document of value, such as a bank note or the like, wherein the document of value consists of a security paper with a front side and a back side, a protective layer being applied over the entire area on both sides.
  • WO 2013/182692 A1 a sheet of banknotes is known which is first completely printed, ie flat, through, gravure and letterpress, offset, screen printing, intaglio and numbering, and then laminated on both sides with a film.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the event of errors in the production of a bank note which lead to the later rejection of the bank note in question, the numbering of the bank note series is no longer continuous, since the bank note with the corresponding number is missing.
  • many customers require continuous numbering of a series of banknotes.
  • Out WO2015 / 189404A1 a method for producing a document of value is known in which a protective layer is applied over the entire surface of the front side of a security document.
  • Other examples of common manufacturing methods are from DE10-2009-048145-A1 , DE10-2008-019092-A1 and WO2005 / 108109-A1 known.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of developing a generic security element in such a way that the disadvantages of the prior art are eliminated.
  • a coating is applied to the security paper between the protective layer and the side of the security paper to which this protective layer is applied, which is changed in a subsequent step by electromagnetic radiation through the protective layer without contact, so that individual information is included in the coating is enrolled.
  • the coating can be applied over the entire area or to only a partial area of the surface of the security paper.
  • the protective layer is applied over the entire surface to the front and back of the security paper.
  • the coating or activatable layer or substance is preferably located directly in the substrate or in the protective layer (lamination, lacquer, etc.) on at least one of the two sides or is applied over the entire surface or partially on at least one of the two sides of the substrate.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is therefore that the interior customization is protected against external influences in circulation by the protective layer. Furthermore, the individualization can be written into the coating through the protective layer in a non-destructive manner.
  • the electromagnetic radiation is generated by a laser.
  • the protective layer is a laminated, laminated or extruded film or a coating. Either a film is applied as a protective layer to the front and back of the security or a coating in the form of a varnish layer that is printed onto the front and back of the security using a printing process.
  • the individual information is, for example, a number, a barcode or a QR code or information about production data of the security paper or personalized data.
  • the coating after exposure to electromagnetic radiation, is darker or lighter than the area not exposed to electromagnetic radiation. Furthermore, after exposure to electromagnetic radiation, the coating can be haptically detectable or tactile and can form information for blind or visually impaired people, for example.
  • the individualization is machine-readable, for example with the camera of a smartphone or tablet (for example the recognition of a QR code or a pattern recognition), by means of special hand-held devices or by means of banknote processing machines.
  • the substance that can be activated by electromagnetic radiation can be located in the protective coating / under the protective coating / in the substrate on at least one of the two sides over the entire area or in part.
  • the area in which the activatable substance is located is either more light-permeable or more translucent than the surrounding area, so that the scattering of the activating electromagnetic radiation is minimal and the information can later be read easily. Conversely, however, this area can also be deliberately matted in order to facilitate the machine recognition of the activated substance or to ensure error-free recognition. Shiny or reflective surfaces usually have a disruptive effect on optical recognition.
  • the substance of the coating that can be activated by electromagnetic radiation can also be applied to both sides of the security paper, the coating being arranged congruently or not congruently to one another on both sides.
  • the individualization can be written on both sides in two steps or preferably in one step, ie on the rear side (based on a laser) by means of trans lasering, ie non-destructively through the front side film and substrate on the laser-active surface located on the rear side.
  • the substrate of the security paper can have a thinning or perforation in this area.
  • several colors that can be activated by means of electromagnetic radiation are printed running and / or adjoining one another over or against one another, so that running color effects can be recognized after exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
  • the electromagnetic radiation for example a laser, can be used to cut holes in the substrate, the edge being colored.
  • Another variant is the application for the individual inclusion of a number.
  • the security paper is particularly preferably made of paper made of cotton fibers, as used for example for banknotes, or of other natural fibers or of synthetic fibers or a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers, or of at least one plastic film, for example a polymer film.
  • the security paper also preferably consists of a combination of at least two different substrates arranged one above the other and connected to one another, a so-called hybrid.
  • the security paper consists, for example, of a combination of plastic film-paper-plastic film, i.e. a substrate made of paper is covered on each of its two sides by a plastic film, or a combination of paper-plastic film-paper, i.e. a substrate made of a plastic film is covered on each of its covered by paper on both sides.
  • the font DE 102 43 653 A9 states in particular that the paper layer usually has a weight of 50 g / m 2 to 100 g / m 2 , preferably 80 g / m 2 to 90 g / m 2 .
  • any other suitable weight can be used depending on the application.
  • Documents of value in which such a substrate or security paper can be used are, in particular, banknotes, shares, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality entry tickets, but also other papers at risk of forgery, such as passports and other identification documents, as well as cards such as credit cards. or debit cards, the card body of which has at least one layer of security paper and also product security elements such as labels, seals, packaging and the like.
  • the simplified designation of value document includes all of the above materials, documents and product security means.
  • register the registration of printed images or other elements with respect to one another on the front and / or back of a substrate.
  • register the registration of printed images or other elements with respect to one another on the front and / or back of a substrate.
  • register the registration of printed images or other elements with respect to one another on the front and / or back of a substrate.
  • front side or “rear side” of the substrate or value document are relative terms which can also be referred to as “one” and “the opposite” side and which form the majority of the total surface of the substrate or value document. These terms expressly do not include the side surfaces of a substrate or document of value which, with a thickness of a substrate or document of value that is only about one millimeter for card bodies or only fractions of a millimeter for banknotes, are negligibly small and are usually not provided with security elements or coatings will or can become. In particular, no see-through effects can be achieved with the side surfaces.
  • Information within the meaning of this invention is a visually perceptible coating designed in the form of a pattern.
  • This can, for example, form a graphic image, an image, a number, a letter, a text or other characters.
  • the information particularly preferably consists of positive and / or negative motifs.
  • a motif element itself is applied to the substrate, whereas in the case of a negative motif, the area surrounding the motif element is applied to the substrate.
  • a positive motif is, for example, a letter printed in dark color on the light-colored substrate.
  • a negative motif is, for example, an area which is applied to the substrate in a dark color and which has an unprinted area in the form of a letter within the area.
  • Fig. 2 shows a bank note made from a substrate 1, on the front side of which a coating 2 that can be changed by electromagnetic radiation is applied.
  • further layers of color 4 are printed on the front and back of the substrate 1, which are represented here and in the following figures by black rectangles.
  • a protective layer 3 is located above the coating 2 and the color layers 4 on the front and back of the substrate 1. If the front of the banknote is now exposed to electromagnetic radiation 5, for example laser radiation, individual information is written into the coating 2. The protective layer 3 on the front of the bank note is not changed by the electromagnetic radiation 5.
  • Fig. 3 shows the banknote Fig. 2 , a coating 2 also being applied to the rear side of the substrate 1.
  • This coating on the back of the substrate 1 can according to Fig. 4 for example also be arranged in a depression or thinning 7 of the substrate 1, which is formed for example by a watermark.
  • the permeability of the substrate 1 to electromagnetic radiation for example the light permeability or transparency of the substrate 1, is increased, so that the laser radiation 6 penetrates through the substrate 1 to the coating 2 arranged on the rear side and into this one inscribes individual information without influencing other parts of the document of value.
