Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an image element applied to a base, in particular a security element for identifying packaging, goods, means of payment and the like.
  • DOVDs diffractive optically variable devices
  • Security printing is one of the most frequently used (printing) methods to prove originality. This can be done, for example, as rotogravure, intaglio printing (results in a noticeably raised print), screen printing, flexographic printing, offset printing, letterpress printing or screen gravure printing (particularly difficult to forge due to the special lettering edge effect).
  • the security print can also contain open or hidden security features, such as special colors, guilloches (difficult to manufacture and difficult to copy) or security grids.
  • the special inks can, for example, use thermal inks that change their color under the influence of temperature, or reagent stains that react to chemicals with discoloration, or water-soluble inks that “bleed out” on contact with water, or copy protection inks that cannot be copied true to color or invisible fluorescent Colors that can only be recognized under UV light or black colors that become invisible in IR light, to name a few special colors.
  • DOVDs are special security elements, which in turn can be divided into analog holograms, i.e. holograms produced by means of photography, and digital, computer-generated holograms, such as trustseal, kinegram, egapix, heliogram, 2D / 3D hologram, digital image, etc. ..
  • analog holograms i.e. holograms produced by means of photography
  • digital, computer-generated holograms such as trustseal, kinegram, egapix, heliogram, 2D / 3D hologram, digital image, etc. ..
  • Each of these DOVDs has one different security level.
  • the DOVDs are manufactured as holographic labels, laminates or hot stamping foils and applied to the desired products.
  • DOVDs are also very difficult to recognize and have to be viewed under a certain incidence of light.
  • DOVDs in the form of films can be applied to many products or product packaging. However, they are then not related to the product, since it is basically just a sticker. This means that they could also be simply stuck on or stamped on by unauthorized persons or used as printing material.
  • the content of the security prints and DOVDs is mostly ignored. Detailed descriptions of the correct verification, for example on the same packaging where the DOVD is located, could weaken trust in the brand and are therefore avoided. Grounds also often speak against such a description.
  • the aim of the invention is therefore to create an image element, in particular a security element, which prevents these disadvantages and is easier for the end consumer to recognize and to assess as genuine. According to the invention this is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • This allows a concise, memorable motif, which is produced using printing technology, to be continued within a DOVD.
  • the printed image and the DOVD can be linked in such a way that perspective effects as well as light and shadow are emphasized.
  • lines that appear flat or flat can be continued in the respective other element.
  • the consumer can immediately see whether the printed image and DOVD match. This makes it easier to recognize a logo or a trademark. Attaching or sticking a DOVD to a product is then no longer sufficient to confirm the originality. Rather, exact coordination and alignment between the printed image and the DOVD is required in order to be able to represent the common motif.
  • the image element can be additionally secured against counterfeiting by using the printed image instead of conventional ones
  • Printing process is produced with a security printing process.
  • Fig.l is a schematic view of the picture element on a base
  • Fig.l shows a commercially available packaging 1, which forms the base for an image element 2 according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a more detailed view of the image element 2.
  • This comprises a motif 3, which is composed on the one hand of a print image 4 produced using known printing techniques and on the other hand of a DOVD 5. How the division takes place is not important for the invention. However, it is important that lines and areas inside the DOVD continue in the adjacent print image.
  • FIG. 3 shows an image element according to the invention with a different motif, namely a ball with curved lines leading outwards from the center.
  • the hatched areas of the ball are designed as DOVD, whereas the other areas are designed as normal printing. Again, it is important that the lines and areas inside the DOVD continue in the adjacent print.
  • the picture element according to the invention can be produced in three different ways.
  • the printed image 4 can first be applied to the base.
  • the DOVD 5 is then applied over the printed image.
  • Another possibility would be to attach the DOVD 5 first and then to apply the printed image 4 over and over the DOVD.
  • the third possibility would be to apply printed image 4 and DOVD 5 next to one another, that is to say that area which is occupied by DOVD 5 is left free when applying printed image 4.
  • Hot foil stamping can be used, metallic foil can be micro-stamped, or the DOVDs can lie as a foil under the printed image.
  • the DOVDs can be metallic, be colored or transparent. It is important in the printing and embossing processes that the register elements of the printing elements are guaranteed to be in register with one another.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un élément d'image (2), en particulier un élément de sécurité, qui est appliqué sur un support et qui est utilisé pour l'identification d'emballages, de produits et de moyens de paiement. L'invention a pour but de fournir un élément d'image (2), en particulier un élément de sécurité, facilement détectable pour le consommateur final et pouvant être identifié comme objet authentique. A cet effet, l'élément selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend une combinaison d'une image imprimée (4) et d'un élément DOVD (5) (dispositif à diffraction optiquement variable), en ce qu'un motif commun (3) est obtenu par juxtaposition ou superposition au moins partielle de l'image imprimée (4) et de l'élément DOVD (5), et en ce que l'image imprimée (4) et l'élément DOVD (5) comprennent, respectivement, des motifs partiels constituant le motif commun (3).
