Definitions
- the invention relates to a security product trading unit which comprises a plurality of subunits, each comprising a plurality of security products.
- the printed matter is, for example, tickets, tickets and. ⁇ ., which are given by an organizer to end users and legitimize them, for example, to start a train journey or to attend an event.
- Such printed matter is often imitated and put into circulation by counterfeiters, which can potentially cause considerable damage to the organizer.
- Such features can be applied to the individual printed products by the manufacturer of the printed products, for example in the form of embossing, watermarks or complex printing patterns.
- the manufacturer of the security printing products combines the individual security printing products into sub-units, which can be, for example, tear-off blocks comprising multiple security printing products, stacked sheets or rolls of security printing products connected by perforation.
- sub-units can be, for example, tear-off blocks comprising multiple security printing products, stacked sheets or rolls of security printing products connected by perforation.
- Several of these sub-units are in turn combined to form a security product trading unit, which are given to the user of the security products, for example an organizer.
- Such a security product trading unit can correspond to the scope of a delivery of security products from the manufacturer to the user, whereby a delivery can also comprise several partial deliveries, but a delivery can also comprise several security product trading units.
- the invention is based on the object of designing security printing products in such a way that their imitation is made more difficult and a simple check of their originality is possible.
- the invention is based on a commercial printing product unit comprising a plurality of subunits, each of which comprises a plurality of commercial printing products.
- the invention is characterized in that a cut marking pattern consisting of one or more cut-out recesses is introduced into each of the security printed products in such a way that the security printed products from the same subunit exclusively have the same cut marking pattern and that the security printed products from different subunits differ Have cut mark patterns.
- the invention provides a method which is based on a method comprising the following steps: a) Provision of several subunits, each of which consists of a plurality of security printed products provided with markings and b) outputting the security printed products of the subunits individually to end users.
- step a) printed security products are provided with a cut marking pattern consisting of one or more cutouts, in such a way that the printed security products belonging to the same subunit only have the same cut marking pattern and the security printed products belonging to different subunits differ Have cut marking patterns, and that in step b) a plurality of sub-units are staggered in time and / or locally for the output of their printed products to the end user.
- the printed security products can be tickets, tickets for attending events or the like.
- the individual subunits can have a number of, for example, 10 or 100 security printed products (block of 10, 100) or the quantity corresponding to a weekly or monthly requirement for required security printed products can be combined into one subunit.
- the printed value products of a subunit can be loosely combined with one another or connected to one another via perforations, wherein they can be stacked to form one or more blocks or rolled up to form one or more rolls.
- the printed security products can have printed markings which enable the printed security product to be identified, and forgery-making markings, such as embossing, watermarks or the like, can also be provided.
- a flat material sheet made of paper, cardboard, plastic or the like serves as the basic material for a single security print product.
- a cut marking pattern comprises one or more cut recesses, which are cut or pressed into it by a suitable tool during the production of the security print product.
- the cut recesses are thus areas of the printed product where the base material is cut out or at least reduced in material thickness.
- the cut-out pattern of a security printed product can thus be perceived simply by the eye of a viewer, for example a controller checking the identity of the security printed product, by holding the security printed product against the light or in front of a light or dark surface. It is also possible to grasp the cut-out pattern by touching it by hand.
- the security printing products combined into a subunit have the same cut marking pattern in the sense that this is recognized as the same in an examination that is typically carried out for checking the identity of the security printing product and, for example, tolerances during production have no influence on the assignment of a cutting marking pattern to have a subunit.
- the cut marking patterns of printed products from different subunits differ in such a way that they can also be recognized as different in the examination typical for checking the identity of the printed product.
- the cut marking patterns of the invention offer a further possibility of making counterfeiting of printed value products more difficult or of checking their originality.
- the user of the printed matter- A commercial unit for example an organizer or a transport company, can keep the configurations of the cut marking patterns used for the individual sub-units secret and deliver printed products from the individual sub-units to end users, that is to say the customers, in a predetermined manner, for example in terms of time or space.
- a transport company can issue printed products with a first cut marking pattern from a first subunit in one month and value printed products with a second cut marking pattern different from the first cut marking pattern from a second subunit in a subsequent month.
- an organizer determines printed matter from a first subunit for output for place cards of a first seat block in an event space and printed matter from a second subunit for output for place cards of a second seat block, etc.
- An indication of the presence of a counterfeit security product thus provides, on the one hand, the appearance of a security product with a cut marking pattern not used in a security product trading unit.
- a security product with a cut marking pattern which corresponds to a valid cut mark pattern of the security product trading unit, but has a cut marking pattern of a subunit which is not intended for issue at the time of the check or which is intended for issue at another location , there is a clear indication of a counterfeit security product.
- At least one of the cut-outs in the printed security product is designed as a separating cut, which cuts through the entire thickness of the material of the printed security product and runs in a closed ring within the printed security product, so that a completely bordered hole in the Security product is formed.
- one of the cut-outs is preferably carried out as a separating cut, which starts from an edge contour of the printed product and thus one on the edge contour of the Material cutout lying in the security product forms in the security product.
- at least one of the cut recesses is formed as a displacement cut pattern.
- a displacement cut pattern is formed from individual displacement cuts, which do not necessarily enforce the entire thickness of the material of the printed product, but do lead to material displacement in the area of the displacement cut.
- the individual displacement cuts preferably begin and end within the printed security product. In contrast to the separating cuts which are closed in a ring or originate from the edge contour of the printed product, no cut-offs occur in the manufacture of the printed products when the cut-outs are made, which must be disposed of as waste.
- the displacement cuts which are preferably arranged closely adjacent to the formation of a displacement cut pattern, are when the security printed product is printed e.g. B.
- the individual cut recesses are preferably delimited from the material of the printed product by polygonal cut lines, the polygonal cut lines having straight or curved polygonal sections or being uniformly curved, in particular circular. This enables the tools required to make the cut-out to be manufactured in a simple manner.
- the cut recesses can have a triangular shape, a rectangular shape, a star shape, a circular shape or a similar simple geometric shape.
- the cut recesses in the cut marking patterns preferably have an average diameter of 3 to 10 mm, in particular 3 to 7 mm. These dimensions of the cut-out recesses make it easy to perceive the cut marking pattern with the eye, both with complete and partial margins, if the printed value product is held by hand, for example, an arm length away from the eye.
- the cut marking patterns of a printed security product should enable the assignment of the printed security product to a specific subunit, it is necessary that the cut marking patterns of different subunits differ sufficiently from one another in a perceptible manner. In particular, it is therefore provided that the cut marking patterns of the printed security products from different subunits differ by the position of at least one of the cut recesses relative to the printed security product. A relatively good distinguishability of the positions of the cut recesses in printed matter from different subunits is given if these positions are at a distance from one another of at least twice the average diameter of one of the cut recesses.
- a particularly simple differentiation of the positions of individual cut recesses relative to the printed security product is given if a reference print mark and / or a reference cut mark is applied to all the valuable print products at a predetermined location.
- the reference print markings can be color markings applied to the printed product in the usual way, which are reference cut markings, similar to the cut recesses in the cut mark patterns, cut or punched out of the base material of the printed product by suitable tools.
- the mean diameter of a reference pressure marking or a reference cut mark is in turn dimensioned such that these markings are easily perceptible to the eye, in particular mean diameters of 3-7 mm are also considered here.
- the viewer thus has an eye-catching feature that can act as an optical stop to relate the position of a cutout recess to it.
- this reference pressure mark or reference cut mark and the cut cut in question is particularly clearly recognizable if the cut recess has a distance of at most three times the average diameter of the cut cutout from the associated reference print mark or reference cut mark. It is particularly advantageous here if the cut recesses of printed value products from different subunits differ by the angular position that the cut recesses occupy relative to the reference print mark or reference cut mark. A viewer can thus easily categorize the angular position (eg 3 a.m., 6 a.m., 11 a.m., etc.).
- the cut markings of printed matter from different subunits differ by the shape of the edge of the cut markings. This also offers a simple possibility of assigning a cut marking pattern to a specific subunit, however, the positions of the cut marks relative to the printed matter need not be taken into account.
- the cut marking patterns of the printed security products from different subunits differ both in terms of the position and the shape of the edge of the individual cutouts. The ability to combine different shapes of the edge and different positions of the cut markings thus creates a relatively large number of easily distinguishable different cut mark patterns and corresponding subunits.
- a particularly simple and clear handling of the security product trading units is given when the number of security products in each subunit is an integral multiple of 10.
- An economical dispensing method in which essentially all of the security products of a security product trading unit are output, is given when a period of time predetermined for the output of security products from a particular subunit ends when the security products originating from this subunit are essentially completely output and only then does a new period begin, which is intended for the issuance of valuable printed products from a further subunit.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a commercial printing unit which consists of three subunits
- FIG. 2 security printed products from the subunits shown in FIG. 1, their cut marking patterns differ in position and number of cut recesses,
- Fig. 6 is a detailed representation of a cut recess formed as a displacement cut pattern.
- Fig. 1 are shown several, here z. B. nine blocks 1 of tickets 3 for bus journeys, wherein three blocks 1 are combined to form a sub-unit 5.
- the three subunits 5 that are formed together form a security printing product trading unit 7.
- the blocks 1 are each held together by brackets 8, the individual tickets 3 can be removed from the blocks 1 by tearing perforations 9.
- FIG. 2 shows three tickets 3 in plan view, which were taken from blocks 1 of the three subunits 5 of FIG. 1.
- the tickets 3 are made of paper and have lettering and image markings 11 printed on their surface, which indicate the departure and destination of a possible bus journey and the validity period of the ticket.
- a line 15 enclosing a cut marking area 13 is printed on each ticket 3 at the same place in each case.
- one or more holes 17 are made in the ticket 3, which form a cut marking pattern 19 on each ticket 3.
- the three tickets 3 shown which come from blocks 1 of the three different subunits 5 of FIG. 1, each have different cut mark patterns 19.
- the three cut mark patterns 19 each differ with regard to the number and the positions of the holes 17 arranged within the cut mark region 13.
- the line which guides the eye and acts as a reference print mark serves for a particularly simple assessment of the position of a hole 17 relative to the printed security product 3 15, which encloses the cut marking area 13.
- the cut marking patterns 19 of the tickets 3 from blocks 1 of the same subunit 5 are identical.
- the tickets 3 were printed in a printing company with the text and image markings 11 and the line 15 and provided with the holes 17.
- the individual tickets 3 were combined into blocks 1 and these in turn into subunits 5 such that all tickets 3 from a subunit 5 each have the same cut marking pattern 19, but the cut marking patterns 19 of tickets 3 from different subunits 5 are different.
- the individual subunits 5 were combined to form a commercial printing unit 7 and delivered to the transport company. This in turn issues the individual blocks 1 to various ticket sales points, where the individual tickets 3 are issued to customers.
- tickets 3 described in FIGS. 1 and 2 from the security product trading unit 7 give the operator of the transport company the possibility of imposing an additional difficulty on counterfeiters in the production of copies of the tickets 3.
- tickets 3 are advantageously issued according to a specific method: During a predetermined period, tickets 3 from blocks 1, which originate from the same subunit 5, are exclusively issued to all ticket sales points of the transport company. This period can be, for example, a day, a week or a month. During this period, only tickets with the same cut marking pattern 19 are in circulation. The cut mark patterns 19 of the tickets 3 can easily be checked by inspectors. If a cut mark pattern 19 that does not match the period is found, there is a clear indication of the existence of a forgery.
- FIG. 3 shows three sub-units 5b, the printed products 3b of which are detachably connected to one another by perforations 9b.
- Holes 17b are made at the same position in each of the individual security printed products 3b.
- the edges of the holes 17 formed by the annularly closed separating cuts 21b in the security printed products 3b from different partial units 5b each have different shapes, namely triangular, square or half-moon shape.
- the printed security products 3b from the same subunit each have holes 17b with the same shape of the separating cuts 21b.
- FIG. 4 shows security printed products 3c each consisting of different partial units 5c, each of which has a cut marking pattern with only a single hole 17c, which differs in position relative to the security printed product 3c.
- a black square reference pressure marking 23 is applied to a predetermined location of all security printed products 3c.
- the positions of the holes 17c lie on a center around the reference pressure marking 23. circle 25, the radius of which is approximately 1 1/2 to 2 times the diameter of the holes 17c.
- the holes 17c of all cut marking patterns 19c are thus at the same distance from the reference pressure marking 23, but the cut marking patterns 19c of different subunits 5c differ in the position which the holes 17c occupy on the circumference of the circle 25.
- the assignment of a printed product 3c to a specific sub-unit 5c can thus be carried out particularly simply by classifying the position of the hole 17c relative to the reference printing marking 23 (1 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 10 o'clock).
- FIG. 5 A further possibility of providing cut-out cutouts for security printed products is shown in FIG. 5.
- the printed security products 3d each have separating cuts 21d starting from their edge contour 29, so that cutouts 27 each form semicircular cutouts on the security printed products lying on the peripheral contour 29, the security printing at different locations and in different numbers on the right edge ⁇ Products 3c are arranged.
- This type of cut marking pattern 19d is not only perceptible to the eye, it can also be easily felt by hand and checked for its originality.
- 6 shows a further variant of a cut recess in detail. In this case, a plurality of displacement cuts 31 are introduced into the printed product 3e, each of which begins and ends within the printed product 3e.
- the displacement cuts 31 are introduced by a correspondingly shaped wedge knife in the manufacture of the printed product 3e in its carrier material in such a way that it is not cut through in its full strength. However, a depression is made on the viewing side of the printed security product and material is displaced toward the sides of the displacement cut. This results in a weakening in the material thickness of the printed product 3e, which can be felt by hand or / and is visible against the light due to increased transparency in the area of the displacement cut.
- the individual displacement cuts are combined into a star-shaped displacement cutting pattern 33 and and into a wave-shaped displacement cutting pattern 33 ', which together form a cutting marking pattern 19e.
- cut recesses offers the advantage that no waste arises during the production of the cut recess pattern and the cut recesses can be made in the area of a design printed on the printed product without disturbing its visibility.
