Abstract

A self-adhesive sticker that comprises a kit of four superposed layers. The first layer provides the base, support, the second layer (3) is located in the middle of the kit, the third layer is made of graphite or granulated platte (10) placed on the upper surface of layer (3), and the fourth layer is a protective layer located on the upper surface of the kit.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS

[received by the International Bureau on 24 June 2005 (24.06.05);

Original claims 8-15 replaced by new claims 8-14 ; remaining claims unchanged (4 pages).] adhesive, preferably an aqueous acrylate of type PSA, and a non-adhesive stripe on one of the smaller lateral borders of the upper face. Claim 4: The self-adhesive sticker with security seal according to claim 1, characterized in that the graphite plate (10) comprises three superposed layers: (a) a base layer made of mechanical paper; (b) a silicone application with a smooth, shiny finish; and (c) a layer with finely ground graphite; wherein the graphite plate (10) adheres to the second layer (3) by means of an adhesive, preferably an aqueous acrylate of PSA type. Claim 5: The self-adhesive sticker with security seal according to claim 1, characterized in that the granulated plate (10) comprises three superposed layers: (a) a base layer made of uncoated paper; (b) an adhesive application, preferably of PSA type, and (c) a layer of finely ground pumice stone; wherein the granulated plate (10) adheres to the second layer (3) by means of an adhesive, preferably an aqueous acrylate of PSA type. Claim 6: The self-adhesive sticker with security seal according to Claim

1, characterized in that the protective polypropylene film (2) includes a layer preferably made of high-density, high-resistance supercalendered kraft paper. Claim 7: The self-adhesive sticker with security seal according to Claim

1, characterized in that the graphite plate (10a) includes a whole layer that can be lifted off the sticker kit using a stripe ( 1 Ob).

Claim 8: A self-adhesive sticker with security seal for fingerprinting and

DNA collection, characterized in that it comprises two superposed layers forming a rectangular kit, wherein a first layer on the top of the kit is a transparent protective film (19) with an opaque surrounding border (15); and a second layer at the bottom of the kit comprises a central adhesive layer (16) in the middle with a stripe (17) on one of the smaller lateral borders; and characterized in that: the central adhesive layer (16) includes on its lower surface a film, preferably of polypropylene (OPP) with a smooth, shiny finish, and an upper

32 surface of the central adhesive layer (16), where the fingerprint will be captured, has an adhesive treatment; and the protective film (19) has a transparent polypropylene (OPP) film in the center of its upper surface, with an opaque surrounding border (15), and the lower surface of the protective film (19), which will be in contact with the adhesive of the central adhesive layer (16), has a silicone treatment. Claim 9: The self-adhesive sticker with security seal for fingerprinting and DNA collection according to claim 8, characterized in that the adhesive treatment for the upper surface of the central adhesive layer (16) entails the application of an adhesive preferably of PSA type, an acrylate copolymer in aqueous dispersion.

Claim 10: The self-adhesive sticker with security seal for fingerprinting and DNA collection according to claim 9, characterized in that the sticker kit includes a block of graphite plates that are not incorporated into said sticker. Claim 11: A method for manufacturing a self-adhesive sticker with superposed layers and security seal for fingerprinting and DNA collection, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps:

- laminating a protective layer that comprises a sheet (101) of supercalendered kraft paper with an upper surface that undergoes a crown treatment for ink fixation and a lower surface that goes through an adhesive treatment, onto a first polypropylene sheet (102) having an upper surface and a lower surface that goes through a silicone treatment (103), wherein the lower surface of the sheet (101) of supercalendered kraft paper is glued to the upper surface of the first polypropylene sheet, and the lower surface of the first polypropylene sheet (102) additionally goes through a silicone application (103) and a stripe process (104) on one of its smaller lateral borders with no silicone application on that stripe;

33 - laminating the protective layer onto a central layer that comprises a second polypropylene sheet (108), preferably with a crystal white base, which has an upper surface (106) and a lower surface (109) that both go through an adhesive application process, wherein the lower surface of the first polypropylene sheet (102) with the silicone application (103) of the protective layer is in contact with the upper surface of the second polypropylene sheet (108) of the central layer, the polypropylene sheet (108) of the central layer goes through a striping process (107) on its upper surface (106) where the adhesive is not applied on one of the smaller lateral borders and the lower surface (109) of the second polypropylene sheet (108) of the central layer goes through a security imprinting process (110), in which a hollow cylinder with the desired security text is pressed onto the adhesive so that the adhesive will not be coating the text's surface at 100% effectiveness, while the non-text surface is coated at 100% effectiveness; and

- laminating the central layer onto a base layer that comprises a third polypropylene sheet (112) that has an upper surface that undergoes a silicon treatment (111) and a lower surface that has a smooth, shiny finish, wherein the lower surface of the second polypropylene sheet (109) with the security printing (110) is in contact with the upper surface of the third polypropylene sheet (112) of the base layer. Claim 12: The method for manufacturing the self-adhesive sticker according to claim 11, characterized in that the method further comprises the steps of: preparing a graphite plate (105) by adding silicone onto a sheet of mechanical paper to form a sheet of siliconed paper, rubbing a ground, dry, talcum-like graphite powder onto the siliconed paper to produce a static charge so that the graphite adheres to and forms the graphite plate (105) on the siliconed paper; and laminating the graphite plate (105) between the protective layer and the central layer. Claim 13: The method for manufacturing the self-adhesive sticker according to claim 11, characterized in that the method further comprises the steps of: preparing a granulated plate by adding an adhesive layer to a sheet of uncoated paper and a finely ground, talcum-like pumice stone powder is sprayed onto the glued paper by means of a compressed air sprayer to produce a complete coating of granulated pumice stone powder sticking to the glued paper, and laminating the granulated plate between the protective layer and the central layer. Claim 14: A kit for preparing a self-adhesive sticker with superposed layers and security seal for fingerprinting and DNA collection according to claim 1, characterized in that it comprises the following layers: a paper layer (101) of preferably supercalendered, high-resistance kraft paper with a surface for printing text (100), a first polypropylene layer (102), a silicone lamination (103) having striping (104) on one of the lamination's (103) surface with no adhesive on one of the smaller lateral borders, a graphite or granulated plate layer (105), an acrylate adhesive lamination (106) having striping (107) with no adhesive on one of the smaller lateral borders applied to one surface of the lamination (106), a second polypropylene layer (108), an acrylate adhesive lamination (109) to be applied on one surface of the second polypropylene layer (108), an adhesive lamination (110) with security imprint, a silicone lamination (111), and a third polypropylene layer (112) with a smooth and shiny finish.
