Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for dividing and categorizing at least one substrate and a substrate categorizing engine.
  • paper substrates for the production of securities, for example banknotes
  • special substrates are usually used, for example paper substrates, polymer substrates or hybrid substrates which have a mixture of paper and polymer.
  • Paper substrates for the production of securities, in particular banknotes are usually made from cotton fibers and thus differ from other types of paper, which are more made from mechanical pulp and/or cellulose.
  • cotton fibers are usually mixed with water, and linen or other plant fibers can also be added, for example. If necessary, coloring substances are added.
  • the mass is then filtered through an appropriate form, whereby watermarks can be generated.
  • the substrate can also be equipped with other security features. For example, security threads are incorporated into the substrate.
  • other security features are arranged on at least one side of the substrate, for example printed images and/or foil material that is applied, for example, by hot foil stamping. More information about the production of paper is, for example, EP 0 059 056 A1 , the EP 0 229 645 A1 , the EP 1 630 285 A2 , the GB 2 397 582 A and the GB 2 433 470A removable.
  • Polymer substrates are usually made of a transparent film, for example made of biaxially stretched polypropylene (BOPP) and on one or is provided with an opaque layer on both sides, for example by a gravure printing process.
  • BOPP biaxially stretched polypropylene
  • this opaque layer is omitted in some areas, so that transparent areas remain.
  • polymer substrates can also be provided with a large number of other security features during their production, for example security features with optically variable surfaces such as holograms, kinegrams, iridescent areas, etc.
  • This transparent film is produced, for example, in a process in which a bubble or a tube is first produced and from this a very transparent and stable film is produced, which is in the form of a continuous transparent web of material. This is then passed through a series of printing units and other processing units where the opaque layer and/or other security features are applied. For example, a production of such a film in the WO 83/00659 A1 described.
  • hybrid substrates layers of paper and polymer are bonded together to combine the benefits of both materials.
  • a method for the production of hybrid substrates is in the EP 2 153 988 A1 described.
