Definitions

  • the invention relates to a data carrier, in particular a document of value, such as a banknote, identification card and the like, with a substrate which has at least one paper layer and which is covered on both sides in each case over the entire surface by a polymeric cover layer.
  • the invention further relates to a method and an embossing tool for producing such a data carrier.
  • Data carriers such as security, value and identity documents, but also other valuables, are provided with security features for security purposes, which permit verification of the authenticity of the data carrier and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
  • value documents in particular banknotes
  • a substrate material of paper or polymer irrespective of the substrate used, is that, in particular, value documents with high circulation are exposed to considerable wear and contamination, so that the circulation times of these value documents are low.
  • substrates made of paper relatively quickly pollute and limp by moisture absorption, ie the typical sound and the typical feel of this substrate are largely lost.
  • substrates made of a polymer material show a very low resistance to tearing, which is why torn substrates must be replaced by tearing.
  • the circulation resistance of documents of value made of pure paper or polymer substrates can therefore sometimes be relatively low.
  • data carriers having a substrate which has at least one paper layer and which is covered on both sides by a polymeric cover layer under certain climatic conditions can have a higher resistance to circulation than data carriers made of paper or polymer.
  • Object of the present invention is to further improve data carriers of the type mentioned in terms of their security against imitation and their circulation resistance and at the same time to obtain the most important for the assessment of the authenticity of banknotes properties as completely as possible.

  • the imitation security of a generic data carrier is further increased.
  • the inventors have found that the embossed structures introduced into the data carriers according to the invention with substrate and double-sided polymeric cover layer have a higher circulation resistance than embossed structures which are incorporated in a pure paper or polymer substrate. This surprising finding will be explained in more detail below in the text and is economically of great advantage, since data carriers with greater circulation resistance must be replaced less frequently and thus costs for the circulation of these data carriers can be reduced.
  • the increased circulation resistance of the embossing structures of the invention to embossed structures in paper or polymer data carriers is currently explained by the fact that the special combination of polymeric cover layer and paper-containing substrate causes too little or no damage to the data medium when the inventive device acts Embossing tool leads.

  • a substrate made of cotton, plastic and a cotton substrate according to the invention with a polymeric cover layer arranged on both sides on both sides were first provided with a gravure printing plate with embossed structures (embossing without color: "blind embossing").
  • the thickness of the data carrier according to the invention before embossing was about 130 microns.
  • Table 1 Cotton substrate embossed at 80 ° C.
  • the relief height of the imprint structures thus produced in the pure cotton substrate is slightly higher than in the substrate according to the invention with polymeric cover layer on both sides.
  • the relief heights in the case of the substrate with polymeric cover layers are substantially higher than the relief heights which were achieved at the same engraving depth in a pure polymer substrate (GUARDIAN) at 80 ° C. (see Table 3).
  • the substrate "GUARDIAN” is a polymer substrate consisting essentially of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).
  • the embossing tool according to the invention is also suitable for embossing of pure polymer substrates.
  • paper substrates according to Table 1 or paper-film substrates according to Table 2 which had embossing structures produced with an embossing tool with an engraving depth of 210 ⁇ m, were subjected to a circulation simulation test.
  • the embossed substrates were subjected to a standardized test to simulate the stress in circulation.
  • the embossed data carriers were first placed in a defined soil solution. After a defined exposure time, the data carriers were dabbed dry and wrinkled by a mechanical device. After a defined number of creasing cycles, the data carriers were roughened with a defined fleece. This cycle of soiling - wrinkling - roughening was repeated in a defined number of passes to simulate a heavy load on the volumes in circulation.
  • the relief heights of the embossed structures according to the invention were (again) measured.
  • Table 4 Cotton substrate imprinted at 80 ° C after completion of the circulation simulation test Depth of the engraving in the embossing tool Relief height; Average of 48 measurements Minimal relief height Maximum relief height 210 ⁇ m 124 ⁇ m 92 ⁇ m 158 ⁇ m Depth of the engraving in the embossing tool Relief height; Average of 48 measurements Minimal relief height Maximum relief height 210 ⁇ m 152 ⁇ m 115 ⁇ m 164 ⁇ m 250 ⁇ m 191 ⁇ m 123 ⁇ m 228 ⁇ m 300 ⁇ m 208 ⁇ m 170 ⁇ m 234 ⁇ m
  • the embossed structures which are produced with an engraving depth of 250 .mu.m to 300 .mu.m in the embossing tool, are still easily measurable after the circulation simulation test and amount to 191 .mu.m or 208 .mu.m.
  • the embossing structures of the pure paper substrate produced with the same engraving depth are largely destroyed, so that reliable relief heights can no longer be specified after passing through the circulation simulation test.
  • the polymeric outer layers of the data carrier according to the invention Protect the tactile detectable embossed structures in the polymer cover layer and substrate very well from external influences, while in pure paper substrate in particular the embossed structures with high relief height are completely destroyed by mechanical interference substantially.
