Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of the protection of value documents and value commercial goods against counterfeit and illegal reproduction.
- the present invention related to the field of security threads or stripes to be incorporated into or onto security documents and security documents comprising said security threads or stripes.
- security means include security threads or stripes, windows, fibers, planchettes, foils, decals, holograms, watermarks, security inks comprising optically variable pigments, magnetic or magnetizable thin film interference pigments, interference-coated particles, thermochromic pigments, photochromic pigments, luminescent, infrared-absorbing, ultraviolet-absorbing or magnetic compounds.
- a security thread is a metal- or plastic-filament, which is incorporated during the manufacturing process into the substrate serving for printing security documents or banknotes.
- Security threads or stripes carry particular security elements, serving for the public- and/or machine-authentication of the security document, in particular for banknotes.
- Suitable security elements for such purpose include without limitation metallizations, optically variable compounds, luminescent compounds, micro- texts and magnetic features.
- optically variable security threads or stripe exhibiting color shift or color change upon variation of the angle of observation have been proposed as security features to be incorporated into or onto said value documents.
- the protection from forgery is based on the variable color effect that optically variable security elements convey to the viewer in dependence on the viewing angle or direction.
- WO 2004/048120 discloses security elements comprising at least two adjacent regions, wherein one of the regions is an optically variable and the other region has a layer of material with constant reflection.
- the disclosed security element comprises regions forming areas without material in order to form graphic makings, characters and the like that can be detected visually.
- US 2007/0241 553 discloses security elements for securing valuable articles having an optically variable layer that imparts different color impressions at different viewing angles and, in a covering area, a semi-transparent ink layer disposed on top of the optically variable, the color impression of the optically variable layer being coordinated with the color impression of the semi-transparent ink layer in the covering area when viewed under predefined viewing conditions.
- WO 2007/042865 discloses security elements comprising at least two contiguous areas having an identical or different optically variable coloring.
- the disclosed security element further comprises a single graphic marking which crosses with continuity the two areas having variable coloring so that the graphic marking straddles the two areas and is perfectly aligned.
- US 201 1 /009551 8 discloses security elements for securing valuable articles comprising a stack layer made of an optically variable layer that conveys different color impressions at different viewing angles, and a color-constant layer comprising an ink layer and a metal layer.
- the optically variable layer and the color-constant layer are stacked in a covering region, while at most one of the optically variable layer and the color-constant layer is present outside the covering region.
- the color impression of the stacked layers in the covering region and the color impression of the one layer outside the covering region are matched with each other when viewed at a predetermined viewing angle.
- EP-A 2 465 701 discloses security elements for securing valuable articles comprising a stack layer made of an optically variable layer that conveys different color impressions at different viewing angles, a first portion with a first color- constant impression and a second color-constant impression and an individualizing marking.
- the optically variable layer and the two portions exhibiting two color-constant impressions are stacked in a covering region.
- the disclosed different layers are coordinated so that the color impression of the optically variable layer matches at a predetermined first viewing angle the color impression of the first portion and that the color impression of the optically variable layer matches at a predetermined second viewing angle being different from the first viewing angle the color impression of the second portion.

- Rotogravure refers to a printing process which is described for example in "Handbook of print media", Helmut Kipphan, Springer Edition, page 48.
- Rotogravure is a printing process wherein the image elements are engraved into the surface of a cylinder. The non-image areas are at a constant original level. Prior to printing, the entire printing plate (non-printing and printing elements) is inked and flooded with ink. Ink is removed from the non-image by a wiper or a blade before printing, so that ink remains only in the cells. The image is transferred from the cells to the substrate by a pressure typically in the range of 2 to 4 bars and by the adhesive forces between the substrate and the ink.
- the term rotogravure does not encompass intaglio printing processes (also referred in the art as engraved steel die or copper plate printing processes) which rely for example on a different type of ink.
- Flexography preferably uses a unit with a doctor blade, preferably a chambered doctor blade, an anilox roller and plate cylinder.
- the anilox roller advantageously has small cells whose volume and/or density determines the ink application rate.
- the doctor blade lies against the anilox roller, and scraps off surplus ink at the same time.
- the anilox roller transfers the ink to the plate cylinder which finally transfers the ink to the substrate.
- Specific design might be achieved using a designed photopolymer plate.
- Plate cylinders can be made from polymeric or elastomeric materials. Polymers are mainly used as photopolymer in plates and sometimes as a seamless coating on a sleeve. Photopolymer plates are made from light-sensitive polymers that are hardened by ultraviolet (UV) light.
- UV ultraviolet
- Photopolymer plates are cut to the required size and placed in an UV light exposure unit.
- One side of the plate is completely exposed to UV light to harden or cure the base of the plate.
- the plate is then turned over, a negative of the job is mounted over the uncured side and the plate is further exposed to UV light. This hardens the plate in the image areas.
- the plate is then processed to remove the unhardened photopolymer from the nonimage areas, which lowers the plate surface in these nonimage areas. After processing, the plate is dried and given a post-exposure dose of UV light to cure the whole plate.
- Preparation of plate cylinders for flexography is described in Printing Technology, J. M. Adams and P. A. Dolin, Delmar Thomson Learning, 5 th Edition, pages 359-360.
- Screen printing (also referred in the art as silkscreen printing) is a stencil process whereby an ink is transferred to a surface through a stencil supported by a fine fabric mesh of silk, synthetic fibers or metal threads stretched tightly on a frame. The pores of the mesh are block-up in the non-image areas and left open in the image area, the image carrier being called the screen. Screen printing might be flat-bed or rotary. During printing, the frame is supplied with the ink which is flooded over the screen and a squeegee is then drawn across it, thus forcing the ink through the open pores of the screen. At the same time, the surface to be printed is held in contact with the screen and the ink is transferred to it.
- the printing material As known to those skilled in the art, after having applied the printing material on a surface (e.g. a substrate or an already hardened or cured material), said material is subjected to a hardening or curing step. During the hardening or curing step, the printing material is cured, dried, solidified, reacted or polymerized as described hereabove, i.e. by radiation curing, by thermal drying or by a combination thereof.
- a further step consisting of slicing the security threads or stripes according to the present invention may be achieved so as to provide security threads or stripes having preferably a width, i.e. dimension in the transverse direction, between about 0.5 mm and about 30 mm, more preferably between about 0.5 mm and about 5 mm.
- the security threads or stripes according to the present invention are particularly suitable for the protection of a security document against counterfeiting or fraud. Therefore, the present invention provides the use of the security thread or stripe according to the present invention for the protection of a security document against counterfeiting or fraud.
- the present invention further provides security document comprising the security thread or stripe according to the present invention.
- the security document preferably comprises a substrate selected from the group consisting of papers, polymers and combinations thereof.
- Security documents are usually protected by several security features which are chosen from different technology fields, manufactured by different suppliers, and embodied in different constituting parts of the security document. To break the protection of the security document, the counterfeiter would need to obtain all of the implied materials and to get access to all of the required processing technology, which is a hardly achievable task.
- security documents include without limitation value documents and value commercial goods.
- value documents include without limitation banknotes, deeds, tickets, checks, vouchers, fiscal stamps and tax labels, agreements and the like, identity documents such as passports, identity cards, visas, bank cards, credit cards, transactions cards, access documents, entrance tickets and the like.
- value commercial good refers to packaging material, in particular for pharmaceutical, cosmetics, electronics or food industry that may comprise one or more security features in order to warrant the content of the packaging like for instance genuine drugs.
- packaging material include without limitation labels such as authentication brand labels, tamper evidence labels and seals.
- the security document according to the present invention is selected from the group consisting of banknotes, identity documents such as passports, identity cards, driving licenses and the like and more preferably banknotes.

- the security thread or stripe according to the present invention may be pressed within wet paper fibers while the fibers are unconsolidated and pliable, thus resulting in the security thread or stripe being totally embedded in the resulting security paper.
- the security thread or stripe according to the present invention may also be fed into a cylinder mold papermaking machine, cylinder vat machine, or similar machine of known type, resulting in partial embedment of the security thread or stripe within the body of the finished paper (i.e. windowed paper).
- the security thread or stripe according to the present invention may be disposed completely on the surface of the security document as a transfer element.
- the security thread or stripe according to the present invention may be mounted on the surface of the security document by any known techniques including without limitation applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to a surface of the security thread or stripe, applying a heat activated adhesive to a surface of the security thread or stripe or using thermal transfer techniques.
