Description

Technical solution relates to the field of storage media, in particular to storage media used with machines, to printed materials of a special format or purpose and can be used in the production of credit, check or similar information identification cards, including identity cards, driver's licenses.

An identification document and a method for its production are known (US 3758970 A, published 09/18/1973). The document contains a middle part formed from a sheet of plastic and including a photograph for identifying a person, first and second covering parts made of transparent plastic material, and alphanumeric characters are applied on the inner surface of the first covering part. When assembling the parts, the middle part is placed on the second cover part and covered with the first cover part, then the three plastic panels are placed into the laminating press.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the need for reverse printing on a transparent plastic material, as well as printing a photograph on the middle part of plastic, which requires the use of special equipment.

There is a known method for producing an identification document and an identification document produced in this way (RU 2128587 C1, published on April 10, 1999), in which a package of document elements is formed from the upper and lower translucent layers of polymer material, a substrate of translucent polymer material and a layer forming a contour layer of the substrate, an information insert is made, the details of the owner of the document are applied to the information insert, the information insert is laid out on the substrate with a photograph of the document owner placed in the window of the information insert intended for it, applied to the entire internal surface of the upper translucent layer, with the exception of the area with the molecular surface layer under a photograph, an adhesive coating that provides permanent connection of the document after heat treatment under pressure, and heat treatment under pressure is carried out on the identification document assembled in this way.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the need to use a contour layer of the substrate to center the information insert.

Also known is a driver's license (RU 9187 U1, published on February 16, 1999), made in the form of an identification card with a photograph of its owner, consisting of an integrally interconnected double-sided cover made of translucent polymer material, a backing, a color photograph of the license holder and an information insert with a window under the photo of the ID holder, with the details of the ID holder printed on it. An adhesive coating is applied to the entire inner surface of the front side of the cover made of translucent material, except for the area with the molecular surface layer under the photograph, ensuring a permanent connection of the driver's license after heat treatment under pressure. This technical solution was adopted as a prototype.

The disadvantage of this technical solution is the need to center and secure the information insert with a photograph on the substrate before placing them in the double-sided substrate.

The objective of the group of inventions is to create a universal, highly secure and durable identification document, the production of which does not require the use of special printers for personalization and other special equipment.

The technical result consists in simplifying the manufacture and assembly of a secure identification document, as well as increasing its durability and resistance to external influences.

The technical result is achieved by performing a method for producing an identification document, in which elements of a document are formed, consisting of a lamination package containing outer polymer layers and an inner polymer layer, wherein the outer polymer layers are made of a transparent material with an adhesive coating applied to the inner surface and are permanently connected each other along one edge, and layers of paper backing made on a paper base with polymer fibers, with the owner’s personal data applied to it, in the upper part of the inner polymer layer a slot is made for the paper backing to pass through it, the technical field is first removed from the paper backing, the paper backing is folded along the perforated fold line, the paper backing is inserted through a slot in the upper part of the inner polymer layer, the paper backing is positioned inside the lamination bag, after which the document thus assembled is subjected to heat treatment under pressure to form a zone of inextricable connection of all polymer layers along the perimeter of the lamination bag.

In particular, personal data is printed manually and/or using digital printing devices.

Also, the technical result is achieved by performing an identification document containing an interconnected package of document elements, subjected to heat treatment under pressure, consisting of a lamination package containing outer polymer layers and an internal polymer layer, while the outer polymer layers are made of a transparent material coated on the inner surface with an adhesive coating, and layers of paper backing made on a paper base with polymer fibers, with the owner’s personal data applied to it; in the upper part, the inner polymer layer contains a slot into which a paper backing bent along a perforated fold line is inserted, with a lamination around the perimeter the package contains a zone of continuous connection of all polymer layers.

In particular, the slot in the upper part of the inner polymer layer is made straight, H-shaped or U-shaped.

In particular, the outer polymer layers contain a holographic image.

In particular, the inner polymer layer contains an adhesive coating applied to one or both of its surfaces.

In particular, the inner polymer layer is made opaque or transparent.

In particular, the paper backing contains anti-counterfeiting elements.

Example 1.

The identification document is prepared as follows. The paper backing, made on a paper base with polymer fibers, is personalized on a color office printer. The owner's signature is also affixed to the paper backing. Then remove the technical field and fold the paper backing in half.

The lamination package is made, in a particular case, from three layers of PET films with adhesive layers. The thickness of these films ranges from 100 to 300 microns and is selected so that the total thickness of the identification document is in the range from 680 to 820 microns. The outer polymer layers, permanently connected to each other along one edge, are made of a transparent material with an adhesive coating applied to the inner surface. In the upper part of the inner polymer layer, a slot is made wide enough for the paper substrate to pass through it.

The folded backing is inserted into a slot at the top of the inner polymer layer. At this moment, the paper backing is precisely positioned inside the lamination bag. Next, the lamination bag with the inserted paper backing is laminated on an office laminator, while a zone of continuous connection of all three polymer layers is formed along the perimeter of the lamination bag.

Example 2.

The identification document contains an interconnected package of document elements subject to heat treatment under pressure, consisting of a lamination package and layers of paper backing. The lamination package contains three polymer layers. The outer polymer layers are made of transparent material with an adhesive coating applied to the inner surface and are permanently connected to each other along one edge. The outer polymer layers contain a holographic image to protect the document from counterfeiting. The inner polymer layer can be either opaque or transparent and contains an applied adhesive coating, as well as an electronic chip.

The paper backing is made on a paper base with polymer fibers, with the owner’s personal data printed on it. The paper backing is printed using security printing methods and may also contain security features embedded in the paper.

In the upper part of the inner polymer layer there is a slot into which a paper backing bent along a perforated fold line is inserted. The length and width of the slot are made in such a way that the paper backing fits freely into the slot, and the slot serves to center the paper liner relative to the inner polymer layer. The slot is made straight, and for greater convenience of threading the paper backing, at its ends it can have sections perpendicular to the direction of the length of the slot, thus being made in an H-shaped or U-shaped form.

After heat treatment under pressure, a zone of inextricable connection of all polymer layers is formed along the perimeter of the lamination package.

Identification documents produced in this way can be personalized using an office printer, do not require additional operations for centering the paper backing and cutting out after lamination, while providing protection of the paper backing from external influences (climatic, mechanical, chemical), as well as protection against counterfeiting .

Thus, the technical result of the claimed group of inventions is achieved, which consists in simplifying the manufacture and assembly of a secure identification document, as well as increasing its durability and resistance to external influences.
