Definitions
- the present invention relates to a variable marking and packaging system, making it possible to easily and automatically check the sequence, the concordance and the quantity of documents of value and / or security or others, assembled in regular and repetitive quantities.
- the present invention thus also relates to a method of presentation and packaging of secure documents making it possible to easily verify the integrity of a delivery, the assembly sequence, and during the piece-by-piece sale, the stock situation as and as the goods flow.
- This process therefore incorporates a process for marking, assembling and packaging secure documents
- Certain valuable and / or security documents such as for example raffle tickets or recharging cards for mobile telephony, are assembled after production and shaped into regular packages (of five, ten, or one hundred units, for example. .), generally for the purpose of stocking them by constantly checking this stock as it goes and then distributing it to dealers and then to end users.
- some reload cards mobile telephony are sold in packs of 5 or 10 units to traders who distribute and sell them individually to end users.
- the merchant generally receives these cards packaged in packs of 5 or 10 units in transparent film of the "flow-pack" type, each card in individual flow-pack being detachable along a dotted line.
- each card can have a large value (several tens of euros)
- the verification of compliance of the packaging sequence, the consistency and the amount is usually done manually or by means of envelopes' or wrapping containing indications as for the content, which leaves the door open to errors and fraud.
- the present invention aims to allow easy control of production and distribution, combined with practical packaging.
- the control can be either visual and therefore does not necessarily require the use of equipment, or carried out by means of sequential bar codes allowing reading and verification by means of appropriate equipment (e.g. scanner).
- the invention thus relates to a system for verifying the sequence, concordance and quantity of documents assembled, in which the verification of the sequence, concordance and quantity is carried out in an easy and error-free manner by an operator. human, or automatically by a suitable machine.
- the invention provides a method of marking, assembling and packaging of secure documents in which
- the documents are stacked with at least one front face comprising a personalized zone, that is to say specific to each document
- the rear slices or folds of the documents include a variable marking depending on the position of the document in the stack or in a sub-sequence of the stack, all of the markings producing an image of a nature such as any missing document or any sequence not compliant is easily, preferably visually, identifiable, said stacks being placed in packages comprising on one side a window in accordance with said personalized area of a first document and on an adjacent side a window allowing to inspect, preferably visually, said image.
- the personalized zone includes for example a number specific to the document, allowing the counting of these once assembled.
- the stack is made up of a certain number of repetitive sequences of documents, whose markings on the edge produce an image or a series of images, for example a zigzag line or an oblique line in steps.
- a sequence can for example contain from 5 to 20 documents.
- the invention also relates to documents and packaging suitable for the above-mentioned process.
- the packaging obtained can itself be packaged while retaining the visibility of at least one personalized zone of a first document and of a last document in a series thus packaged. Said visibility is obtained for example by a second suitable windowing system for the packaging boxes.
- the windowing system makes it possible to avoid successive labeling which is a source of error. In its simplest form, this system makes it possible to identify each product packaged after the packaging operation.
- the different boxes can be stacked on a pallet so that the first window of the first box and the last window of the last box are visible.
- the custom areas corresponding to the first document and the last document in the palette can thus be scanned. Automatic counting and identification are thus carried out. It will be noted that the scanning can be coupled with a printing operation of labels 'in situ', the label then being of dimension adapted to a pallet.
- Personalization can be carried out by means of a printer of the laser, inkjet, magnetographic or other type, connected to an appropriate computer controller, controlled by an algorithm, a database or suitable software.
- the custom zone can thus include:
- the digital bar code can for example be of the type 2 to 5 interleaved.
- the alphanumeric barcode can by example be of code 39 or code 128 type.
- the back side of the last document in a package may include a similar or identical personalized area, also printed by means of a variable inking system.
- variable code is incremented by a progression corresponding to the number of units contained in the package.
- the letter (A in the example) is the same in all the units of the packet, and is incremented (becomes B) in all the units of the following packet, which allows a very easy visual verification of the sequence (a packet must start with a letter on the front side, and end with the same letter on the back side).
- the back edge or back fold of each document preferably has a vertical bar, printed by a variable printing system.
- variable printing can be done either flat (before folding), or directly on the fold, if it is thick enough.
- the expressions slice, fold or back will be considered to be equivalent.
- variable printing consists of: a vertical bar whose own length is fixed, but whose position is variable along the total height available on the wafer or fold. - this total height available being a function of the nature of the packaging enveloping the package.
- this height can be equal to the entire height of the document. Otherwise, this available height is determined by the height of the packaging cutout at the edge or fold.
- a single cutout will indeed be provided in said cover or box thus forming a window freeing a part of the edge, the back or the fold, and overflowing on the sides in order to allow the legibility of the personalized zones already discussed.
- this window may be produced by using the upper, front or lower edge of the assembly, and by cutting the cover correspondingly.
- the window can be split into two or three smaller windows (front, edge, rear), which will have the same functionalities and advantages as a single window revealing said two or three faces.
- the packaging in the form of an enveloping cover may be made of transparent, colored or printed material so as to make it opaque, except at the places provided for the control (and which will therefore de facto correspond to the windows described above. ).
- each vertical bar will be calculated taking into account the quantity of documents to be assembled for a given sequence, and the tolerances specific to fixed printing systems, variable personalization and shaping (folding and cutting).
- each bar will then be calculated so that each bar can be printed offset downwards (or upwards) compared to the previous one, and so that all of the bars constitute an opaque barrier of width sufficient, to the detector beams ensuring control.
- each bar will also be calculated so that any missing copy in the package results in a detectable day on the edge of the packaging.
- the same system also makes it easy to detect the failure of several copies, sequence reversals, duplicates or any anomaly.
- the length of the bars varies, and the number of bars is multiplied (the set of backs of a sequence has two or more continuous lines in steps).
- the bars may be oblique, and not vertical.
- the resulting line for the wrapped documents will be continuous and no longer stepped.
- variable printing is applied before assembling the constituent units of a package.
- variable printing in the form of a slash or in steps on the back of the package could certainly also be applied to the already assembled package. It would at that time guarantee that the said package has not been broken up or modified, but in no case would present any guarantee when the constituent elements themselves, at the time of printing of the documents, which is the case with the system of the invention described above.
- This text or graphic could also be printed on the back of the lid of the box, which would allow the person (whoever it is) who opens the box, to immediately see if the security representation on the set of slices of each scabbard conforms to the model printed on the box.
- the basic product constitutes in itself identification with the other levels of packaging: - first grouping of products (unitary documents) in sleeves or other, the first product and the last product contained being visible by the sides of the window, the entire grouping being visible by the upper or lateral edge of the window.
- the invention is particularly well suited to the automatic printing of secure documents.

- 1 invention comprising two units to be secured with for fig. 20 has one of the two custom zones visible.
- Figs. 21 to 28 illustrate different other applications of documents according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows, in perspective from the front and from the rear, a package of secure documents according to the invention.
- the packaging is in the form of a sheath cover 1 with a cutout 2 at the edge 3, cutout advancing partially towards the front face 4 and the rear face 4 'to discover, in addition to the edge, a zone personalized 5 of a first document 8 and a personalized zone 5 'of a last document 8'.
- the sheath is sealed with rivets at 6 to form an edge 7 secured to all of the documents.
- We will also notice the presence of an empty triangle 20 indicating the start of a sequence of sleeve covers.
- the edge shows an oblique line 13 formed of vertical bars arranged in a staircase.
- Fig. 2 illustrates in the same way a similar document with, however, an opening strip 9 'on the other side also.
- the document can thus have two sides printed on top side, which can for example be used in two language versions.
- Fig. 3 illustrates a sheath comprising 20 documents and there are two oblique lines 13 'in V. Each document can be double, the personalized zone of the front face and the rear face then not being identical because identifying two successive sub-documents .
- Fig. 4 illustrates an open sheath intended to comprise 10 documents 8 which remain there secured on the side opposite to the marked edge (edge 7) along a first line of perforated weakness 10.
- a document has been detached but the interior content remains sealed along a second perforated line of weakness 11, preferably more solid than the first. This last characteristic generally applies to almost all the sleeves according to the invention.
- Fig. 5 illustrates the complete opening of a document removed from the sheath.
- a document 8 which has been opened by tearing at the line of weakness 11 leaving a sealing tongue 12.
- a tongue 9 for opening the sheath, completely detached.
- Fig. 6 illustrates in perspective a sealed sheath 1 comprising abnormally, 9 documents 8, the missing document 8 'being presented juxtaposed. An interruption in C is visible on the edge portion visible through the sheath window.
- the igs. 7a and 7b show two examples of flat blanking of an empty sheath according to the invention.
- the version (7a) with two tabs allows the opening on one side or the other, giving access to one of the two versions of the document, oriented upside down (for example two languages for a bilingual country).
- Figs. 8a and 8b show an enlargement of the sections seen horizontally in which we can better see the interruption of the line 13 in steps. We can thus distinguish the slices of a set of ten stacked documents presenting vertical black lines with uniformly variable height according to its place in the sequence and thus forming oblique bands in staircase. Band A is uninterrupted. The set is complete. In B, copy 6 is missing, this failure is perfectly visible in the form of an interruption in the hatched black band.
- Fig. 8c show two sleeves according to the invention with 10 secure documents seen from the rear edge, one showing a symbol for the start of the box (hollowed out triangle) and the other for the end of the box (full triangle).
- Fig. 8d illustrates the possibility of adding a line segment opposite the terminal segment of a standard integrity staircase. If, as a result of a sheathing error, a sheath is created where a document is missing, followed by a sheath containing a surplus document (or vice versa), this error becomes instantly visible.
- the first pair of sheath is normal and the second pair constitutes a sheath of 9 followed by a sheath of 11 documents.
- the ascending stairs can be printed in one color (not shown) and the descending stairs in another color which also allows error identification which is added to the identification described in figs. 8a, 8b and 8d.
- Fig. 8f shows that end of row symbols can also be provided, for example 3 segments of broken lines in order to guarantee equal rows in a secondary packaging such as a box.
- Fig. 9 shows in section an example of sequential security numbering. Each letter corresponds to a sheath of 10 documents in the example, numbered from 0 to 9. Visual inspection is easy and instant. The end of the code (the letter and the number) can be personalized in bold and in a larger body, which facilitates immediate visual interpretation.
- Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate variants of sheaths and secure documents according to the invention.
- the windows of the custom zones are independent of the marking windows.
- Fig. 12 illustrates 4 consecutive flat documents (0A to 3A) obtained during the printing process of the marking and of the personalized zones.
- Fig. 13 illustrates a sequence of 2 sheaths of 10 secure documents which can be opened from two sides, shown in false flat perspective (documents 0A to 9B).
- Fig. 14 schematically represents a cardboard box with a double row of sleeves each containing 10 documents seen by the edge, in a standard box of 500 documents with its variable coding system in MM or WW on the back, ie 2 x 25 sleeves of 10 documents.
- the cover is removed or transparent.
- the box has two cut-out windows 141 and 142 making the personalized area of the first (OA) and the last document (9Z) visible.
- the configuration of this box coupled with the characteristics specific to the document and packaging of the invention, brings a series of advantages.
- the cover of the box can be transparent (for example consisting of a transparent hard cover, or partially transparent, or even comprising cutouts in register with the control zones, or else wrapped in transparent plastic film).
- variable markings printed on the edge of each document are directly visible and controllable, allowing the integrity of the content to be checked at a glance.
- the image is in WWW but can also be different, for example in ////.
- the first row (left) is inserted sequentially from front to back.
- the first control number of the first document of the first sheath contained in the box, is therefore visible through the left window cut out of the box.
- the second row (on the right) is inserted in reverse sequential order (it is rotated 180 ° from the first).
- the last document of the last sheath contained in the box, is therefore visible through the right window cut out from the box.
- This information can for example be as follows:
- the box can obviously have only one row, with a window cut out at the front and a window cut out at the rear.
- Figs. 15 to 17 illustrate series of sheaths packed according to the invention with an example of an alphanumeric numbering system.
- a box has two rows of sleeves, the second of which is turned over so that the two control windows are on the front face of the box, which facilitates verification.
- the box also has two rows, but the second is not turned 180 ° relative to the first. Therefore, the first window is at the front of the box, the second window at the back of the box.
- Fig. 17 illustrates the system of FIG. 16 in which additional markings have been added as discussed in figs. 8d and 8f.
- Fig. 18 represents a box wrapped in film of 500 mini-documents associated with a scanning operation.
- the boxing process is particular here, because these secure mini-documents are packed by 250 in gutters.
- Two gutters are attached to each other and wrapped in film to constitute a packaging of 500 copies.
- the control system is particularly effective in this case, since the filming is transparent, makes it possible to observe not only the front face (showing the first hollowed out triangle in the series) which is therefore directly scannable, and the double V control system (W) at the top, in which the hollowed out triangle signals the print head, solid triangle, end of print, and two bar codes at the end of each package at the end of a unit of 500 copies.
- Fig. 19 illustrates the possibility of directly scanning the content of a pallet comprising boxes with the sleeves and documents according to the invention. Only the first and the last box have a visible personalized zone (the others are turned inward). By scanning the first and last zones, the operator can activate the cards, enter them into a stock, etc.
- Figs. 20a and 20b show the particular construction of two documents integrating two reloading codes on separable elements along a line of weakness, which can have an economic advantage, particularly in terms of production. It is therefore a double document (with two secure element units).
- the marking 200 on the two slice halves varies, and the personalized zone on one side 205 is incremented by one with respect to the personalized zone (205 ′ not shown) on the other face.
- Fig. 20a shows a document folded outwards and FIG. 20b shows a document folded inward.
- Fig. 21 constitutes a document according to the invention without a loading number for a mobile phone but making it possible to securely host a flat product 210 such as a hard plastic card such as a parking, event, bank, club or security card etc ..
- Fig. 22 illustrates a similar document with a particularity which is a window 220 making it possible to scan the two bar codes 221, 222 which are not matched in the same database at the start.
- the document is printed in series with a consecutive control barcode, the customer offering the cards provides any other series.
- riveting or eyeleting the passage through a scanning tunnel makes it possible to read the two bar codes, to bring them into concordance and to store them in a database. This then allows very precise control of logistics and distribution and can increase security.
- the base of the system is the window, allowing to read the barcode of the card, while the card itself is contained in the pocket.
- Fig. 23 constitutes a document according to the invention incorporating a reload number 230 and a mini-CD 231.
- Fig. 24 illustrates, closed and open, a secure document according to the invention containing a CD, the color of which is visible through a window 240 cut from the pocket.
- the tab protecting the reload number is open, and it has been scratched.
- This interior can also be filled with promotional text or information.
- Figs. 25 to 27 illustrate the possibility of placing promotional coupons or data collectors inside a secure document according to the invention.
- the system according to the invention has an individually personalized security marking.
- Each individual marking p. E. Line
- the printing of the personalized zone is advantageously simultaneous with the printing of the security zone or element (eg reloading number) which is itself a personalization of the document.
- This printing advantageously occurs after the printing common to all the copies, which is physically different in nature and which is identical for all the copies in a series.
- the repetitive variations by 2, 3, 4 or 5 etc. allowed by the printing system, are completely disconnected from the individualized security and control system.
- the document When it is made up of a single strip of paper, the document can be personalized according to any point on its surface without risk of error. This feature allows all the required variables to be affixed to the cover simultaneously with the security print (eg reload number).
- the design of the document may provide for codification symmetrical variable at the back folded back. Personalization of the cover may include
- variable coding of the covers can be affixed on both sides so as to
- the customization width is adjustable on demand, in particular to meet graphic requirements.
