Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erhöhung der Fälschungssicherheit einer mit einem ersten Druckbild bedruckten Oberfläche eines Gegenstandes nach dem Oberbegriff das Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a method for increasing the security against forgery of a printed with a first printed image surface of an article according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Fälschungssicherheit von Verpackungen ist vor allem für die Pharmaindustrie von grosser Bedeutung. Grundsätzlich besteht jedoch auch in anderen Bereichen der Wunsch nach fälschungssicheren Verpackungen oder Produkten, insbesondere in der Konsumgüterindustrie, beispielsweise bei der Verpackung von Lebensmitteln, kosmetischen Artikeln, Kleidern, Software- und Musik- CD's oder Wertpapieren. Der Gegenstand mit dem aufgedruckten ersten Druckbild kann eine Verpackung, ein Packstoff, ein Packhilfsmittel oder ein Produkt selbst sein, auf dem ein Oberflächenbereich in Form eines Sicherheitsteils, beispielsweise als Etikette, mit dem Druckbild ausgestattet ist.The forgery-proof packaging is of great importance especially for the pharmaceutical industry. In principle, however, there is also a desire in other areas for forgery-proof packaging or products, in particular in the consumer goods industry, for example in the packaging of foods, cosmetic articles, clothing, software and music CDs or securities. The article with the printed first printed image may be a packaging, a packaging material, a packaging aid or a product itself, on which a surface area in the form of a security part, for example as a label, is equipped with the print image.

Eine fälschungssichere Verpackung oder ein Packhilfsmittel kann als Originalitätsgarantie dienen, die es dem Kunden ermöglicht, zu erkennen, dass das von ihm erworbene Produkt tatsächlich vom gewünschten Produzenten hergestellt und verpackt worden ist. Ein fälschungssicheres Packhilfsmittel kann u. a. auch als Erstöffnungsgarantie eingesetzt werden, beispielsweise in Form einer Etikette, einer Banderole oder eines Siegelstreifens usw., die z. B. über einem Flaschenverschluss oder über dem Verschluss eines Weithalsglases, über der Naht zwischen einem Deckel und einem Behälter oder über dem Aufreissverschluss eines Beutels festgelegt worden sind. Beim Öffnen der entsprechenden Verpackung wird die Etikette, die Banderole oder der Siegelstreifen zerstört und damit wird angezeigt, dass eine Erstöffnung bereits erfolgt ist. Es ist auch möglich, Gegenstände in eine Umverpackung zu füllen oder einzuhüllen, wobei die Umverpackung charakteristische unverwechselbare und nicht kopierbare Merkmale aufweist, die zeigen, dass das Verpacken des Inhalts bei einem bestimmten Lieferanten erfolgt ist.A tamper evident packaging or packaging aid may serve as a tamper evidence guarantee that allows the customer to recognize that the product he has purchased has actually been manufactured and packaged by the desired producer. A tamper-resistant packaging aid can be used, among other things, as a first-opening guarantee, for example in the form of a label, a band or a sealing strip, etc., the z. B. over a bottle cap or over the closure of a wide-necked glass, have been established on the seam between a lid and a container or on the zipper of a bag. When opening the appropriate packaging, the label, the banderole or the sealing strip is destroyed and this indicates that a first opening has already been made. It is also possible to fill or wrap articles in an overpack, the overpack having characteristic distinctive and non-duplicable features which show that the packaging of the contents has occurred at a particular supplier.

Bekannte fälschungssichere Verpackungen und Produkte sind auf ihrer Oberfläche mit Hologrammen versehen oder weisen Farbcodierungen oder unsichtbare Merkmale auf. Zur Erzielung einer hohen Fälschungssicherheit haben sich in der Praxis u. a. Hologramme bewährt. Beispiele sind Hologrammetiketten oder Deckelfolien mit integrierten Hologrammen. Die Erzeugung von Hologrammen ist jedoch mit einem enormen Aufwand verbunden.Known anti-counterfeiting packaging and products are provided with holograms on their surface or have color codings or invisible features. In order to achieve a high security against counterfeiting u. a. Holograms proven. Examples are hologram labels or lidding films with integrated holograms. The production of holograms is, however, associated with an enormous effort.

Aus der EP-A-0 967 091 ist ein Gegenstand mit einem zur Erhöhung der Fälschungssicherheit einen optischen Effekt erzeugenden Oberflächenbereich bekannt. Der Oberflächenbereich mit dem optischen Effekt weist mindestens zwei durch eine durchsichtige Materialschicht in festem Abstand gehaltene Bildmuster auf, und bei Änderung des Betrachtungswinkels ändert sich die optische Wahrnehmung des durch die Überlagerung der Bildmuster erzeugten Gesamtbildes. Der durch die Dicke der durchsichtigen Materialschicht definierte Abstand zwischen den Bildmustern und die Distanz zwischen benachbarten, den Bildmustern zugrunde liegenden Grundelementen sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass die Bildmuster Moire-Interferenzen zeigen.From the EP-A-0 967 091 For example, an article with a surface area producing an optical effect to increase the security against forgery is known. The surface area with the optical effect has at least two image patterns held by a transparent material layer at a fixed distance, and as the viewing angle changes, the visual perception of the overall image generated by the superposition of the image patterns changes. The defined by the thickness of the transparent material layer distance between the image patterns and the distance between adjacent underlying the image patterns basic elements are coordinated so that the image patterns show moire interference.

Ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art ist aus US-A-4 504 083 bekannt.A method of the type mentioned is out U.S.-A-4,504,083 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Gegenstand mit einem bereits bestehenden Druckbild auf einfache Art mit einer höheren Fälschungssicherheit auszustatten.The invention has the object of providing an object with an existing print image in a simple way with a higher security against counterfeiting.

Zur erfindungsgemässen Lösung der Aufgabe führt ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.For the inventive solution of the problem leads a method having the features of claim 1.

Der wesentliche Kern der Erfindung liegt darin, dass ein bestehendes Druckbild oder Design mit dem bisherigen Druckverfahren gedruckt werden kann und auf dieses erste Druckbild das zweite Druckbild als eigentlicher Sicherheitsdruck aufgetragen wird, ohne hierbei das optische Erscheinungsbild des ersten Druckbildes zu verändern. Die Verlagerung des Sicherheitsdruckes in eine separate Ebene hat den Vorteil, dass das bestehende erste Druckbild in gleicher Weise wie bisher gedruckt werden kann und nicht selbst als Sicherheitsdruck konzipiert werden muss.The essential core of the invention is that an existing print image or design can be printed with the previous printing process and the second print image is applied as the actual security print on this first print image, without losing the visual appearance of the first Change print image. The shift of the security printing into a separate plane has the advantage that the existing first print image can be printed in the same way as before and does not itself have to be designed as security printing.

Der für den Druck des zweiten Druckbildes vorgesehene transparente Mattlack ist farblos.The intended for the printing of the second printed image transparent matt lacquer is colorless.

Das zweite Druckbild weist beispielsweise ein komplexes Druckmuster auf.For example, the second print image has a complex print pattern.

Der Sicherheitsdruck des zweiten Druckbildes erfordert die Anwendung spezieller Druckverfahren mit hoher Bildauflösung. Diese üblicherweise nur für Sicherheitsdruck und nicht für Normaldruck eingesetzten Systeme sind teure und oftmals nicht frei verfügbare Systeme, so dass sich die Erhöhung der Fälschungssicherheit vor allem durch die beschränkte Verfügbarkeit dieser teuren Systeme ergibt. Zu den Druckverfahren, die sich zum Auftragen des zweiten Druckbildes als Sicherheitsdruck eignen, gehören beispielsweise die Tiefdruckverfahren mit Tiefdruckzylindern mit sehr hoher Rasterauflösung, wie sie von verschiedenen Ätztechniken und der Transcribe-Gravur bekannt ist, oder ein Offsetverfahren.The security printing of the second print image requires the use of special printing methods with high image resolution. These systems, which are usually used only for security printing and not for normal printing, are expensive and often not freely available systems, so that the increase in counterfeit security results above all from the limited availability of these expensive systems. Among the printing methods that are suitable for applying the second print image as a security printing, for example, include the gravure printing method with very high resolution raster printing cylinders, as known from various etching techniques and the Transcribe engraving, or an offset method.

Der Packstoff kann starr, halbstarr oder flexibel sein und kann einen Formkörper oder insbesondere ein folienförmiges Material darstellen. Beispiele für Formkörper sind geblasene, tief- und/oder streckgezogene oder getiefte Formkörper, wie Flaschen, Weithalsgefässe, Becher, Schalen oder Bodenteile von Durchdrück- oder Blisterpackungen. Beispiele für folienförmige Materialien sind Metallfolien, wie Aluminium-, Stahl-, Kupfer-, Silber- oder Goldfolien. Weitere Beispiele für folienförmige Materialien sind Papiere, wie Seidenpapier mit einem Flächengewicht von 20 bis 30g/m2 oder Hochweisspapier mit einem Flächengewicht von 40 bis 60g/m2, Karton, Halbkarton oder dgl. Bedeutsam sind insbesondere kunststoffhaltige Folien, z.B. auf der Basis von Polyolefinen, wie Polyethylenen oder Polypropylenen, Polyamiden, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyestern, wie Polyalkylenterephthalaten und insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat. Die kunststoffhaltigen Folien können Monofolien aus Kunststoffen, Laminate aus zwei oder mehreren Kunststofffolien, Laminate aus Metall- und Kunststofffolien, Laminate aus Papieren und Kunststofffolien oder Laminate aus Papieren und Metall- und Kunststofffolien sein. Die einzelnen Kunststofffolien können eine Dicken von beispielsweise 12 bis 200µm und die Metallfolien von 12 bis 100 µm aufweisen. Als Kunststofffolien bevorzugt sind nicht orientierte oder axial oder biaxial orientierte Monofolien oder Laminate aus zwei oder mehreren nicht orientierten oder axial oder biaxial orientierten Folien aus Kunststoffen auf der Basis von Polyolefinen, wie Polyethylenen oder Polypropylenen, Polyamiden, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyestern, wie Polyalkylenterephthalaten und insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat.The article according to the invention can be, for example, any packaging material in the form of a packaging material or packaging auxiliary. The packaging material may be rigid, semi-rigid or flexible and may be a molded article or, in particular, a film-shaped material. Examples of shaped articles are blown, deep-drawn and / or stretched or deep-drawn moldings, such as bottles, wide-necked vessels, beakers, dishes or bottom parts of push-through or blister packs. Examples of film-shaped materials are metal foils, such as aluminum, steel, copper, silver or gold foils. Further examples of sheet-like materials are papers such as tissue paper having a basis weight of 20 to 30 g / m 2 or white and white paper having a basis weight of 40 to 60 g / m 2 , cardboard, semi-board or the like. Significant in particular plastic-containing films, for example based on polyolefins, such as polyethylenes or polypropylenes, polyamides, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters, such as polyalkylene terephthalates and in particular polyethylene terephthalate.
