Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tear thread for packaging, at least has a substrate on which a layer at least in partial areas is arranged with at least one machine testable property.
  • CDs or cigarettes have packaging that only has no tools are difficult to open. It is therefore common for these packages to be torn to provide. They usually consist of a plastic or aluminum band, that can be printed and often included in the packaging design is included.
  • EP 0 317 202 A2 has also already suggested tearing open threads To provide plastic with a magnetic oxide coating, in which certain Information can be saved. With this information can be, for example, the date of manufacture, the place of manufacture or other data relating to the distribution channel that is based on the way from the manufacturer to the end customer can be changed or supplemented can.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a tear thread, which offers increased protection against counterfeiting.
  • the tear threads with luminescent substances Mistake.
  • Luminescent substances offer the advantage that they are either colorful Have body color or are transparent anyway, so they can be any Printing inks can be added. They are therefore not visually without to recognize more.
  • the range of luminescent substances available and their optically verifiable properties is very large, so a potential scammer, even if he knows that a luminescent substance is present, would have to conduct a complex analysis to determine the correct luminescent substance and that checked by the responsible authorities to find optical properties of this substance.
  • luminescent substances are used that can be checked visually and / or by machine.
  • For one Visual inspection is particularly suitable for luminescent substances whose Excitation spectrum outside the visible range, e.g. in the UV, the emission spectrum, however, in the visible spectral range.
  • Luminescent substances are preferably used for review are not available in free trade and have special optical properties have, and only with special measuring devices matched to this are detectable.
  • luminescent substances with a antistoke or quasi-resonant behavior can be used.
  • the tear thread consists of a Substrate, e.g. Paper or plastic, which at least in some areas a layer containing the luminescent substance is provided.
  • This layer can, for example, in the form of any pattern with conventional Printing processes are applied.
  • This pattern e.g. a barcode or a sequence of numbers, can contain information about the manufacturer, the place of manufacture or any other important one related to the product Contain information and possibly several times along the tear thread be provided.
  • It can also contain several different luminescent substances Layers are printed in register with each other in the form of a pattern.
  • the distribution of the luminescent substances represent the information to be encoded.
  • the luminescent substance also directly into the plastic substrate, possibly with other color pigments be introduced.
  • several layers of plastic each contain different luminescent substances, to a tear strip be coextruded.
  • they are the different ones Layers containing luminescent substances along the tear thread in successive and overlapping sections provided.
  • luminescent substances are used, all with the same Radiation can be excited, but different emission spectra exhibit. If the luminescent substances emit in the visible range, see above mixed colors of the individual are created in the overlapping sections Emission spectra. In this way, rainbow effects can be created produce.
  • This embodiment can be checked visually in a very simple manner, but at the same time offers a high level of protection against counterfeiting, as different Luminescent substances must be used and at the same time for an exact Positioning of the luminescent substances must be taken care of.
  • the protection against counterfeiting can be further increased if luminescent substances be used in normal lighting in the visual Spectral range are transparent.
  • a plastic substrate is applied using a printing ink, which is visual Spectral region contains transparent luminescent substance, a code pattern, for example, printed a barcode.
  • the ink itself is also transparent and is covered by another plastic layer, so that the luminescent substance from environmental influences as well as unauthorized Access is protected.
  • the plastic substrates surrounding the luminescent substance can also be transparent or with color pigments be colored. This may be necessary if the luminescent Layer in the gloss effect due to different refractive indices identified between the plastic layers and thus the distribution of the luminescent substance is visually recognizable.
  • An electrically conductive metal foil such as an aluminum strip, is used as the substrate. or uses an electrically conductive plastic film on which the luminescent layer is arranged.
  • the Tear-off thread an additional machine-checked authenticity feature. Also this thread is used to protect against environmental influences with another Laminated plastic film so that the luminescent material between the films comes to rest.
  • the tear thread does not differ visually in any way from the known tear threads. However, it can by stimulating the luminescent substances very easily and quickly differentiated from a counterfeit become.
  • Ripcord can also be provided with a magnetic layer.
  • a plastic substrate with a writable magnetic layer coated and then the luminescent layer in the form of a Coding printed.
  • a second plastic film provided as a protective layer.
  • the luminescent substance can also be added to a plastic mass, which is then extruded in the form of the tear thread.
  • the tear thread can also consist of several co-extruded plastic films put together the different fabrics with different contain physical properties. This can be, for example different luminescent substances, electrically conductive materials, magnetic materials or simple dyes.
  • the plastic substrates used can either be transparent or be colored.
  • the tear threads according to the invention can also be provided with a colored print image.
