Definitions

  • the invention relates to the production of security elements with an optically variable structure consisting of a coating with a repeating pattern and a finely textured embossment adapted for coating. More particularly, the invention relates to a method for producing a security element having such an optically variable structure in a sheet-fed press, an associated sheet-fed press, a flexible embossing plate for such a sheet-fed press and a method for producing such a stamping plate.
  • Security documents such as banknotes, stocks, bonds, certificates, vouchers, checks, high-quality admission tickets, but also other forgery-prone documents, such as passports or other identification documents, are often provided with security elements for the purpose of security, both recognizing a value document as security also allow a verification of the authenticity of the value document and at the same time serve as protection against unauthorized reproduction.
  • Security elements are often used, which are on the one hand machine-readable, on the other hand, however, can also be checked with simple tools or without any aids. Particularly suitable are safety elements that can be identified by users without aids and even in poor lighting conditions and recognized as genuine. In particular, imprints and haptic features that exploit both the visual appearance and the tactility of the security features are suitable here.
  • Such security elements are used, for example, for securing high-quality pharmaceutical products.
  • Applicants' PEAK® feature which is a three-dimensional security feature that is created solely by printing and embossing paper or the paperboard substrate of a package, has been proven in this product area. Filigree optical and tactile elements interlock with each other and create a three-dimensional image that changes depending on the viewing angle.
  • the object of the invention is to specify devices and methods which make it possible to produce security elements with an optically variable structure from a coating having a repeating pattern and a coating-patterned, finely structured embossing in a cost-effective manner and at high processing speeds.
  • the invention initially relates to a method for producing a security element with an optically variable structure in a sheet-fed printing press, in particular a sheet-fed offset printing press, in which a sheet within the sheet-fed press by means of conveyor systems on rotating gripper systems in gripper closure by at least one printing unit and a stamping machine is performed, the sheet is provided in the at least one printing unit with a coating with a repeating pattern, and the signature in the stamping with a is provided with finely structured embossed structure, wherein the finely structured embossed structure and the coating are produced by the guide of the press sheet in the gripper closure matched to each other on the press sheet and form the optically variable structure of the security element to be produced.
  • the sheet can be provided with a monochrome or with a multi-colored, for example, two-, three- or four-color coating, to which the sheet can be passed through two or more printing units.
  • the number of colors can easily be up to 7.
  • the inks may be applied adjacent, overlying or even spaced apart.
  • effect colors such as metal gloss, fluorescent colors, colors with machine-readable features such as Magnetic inks, infrared-absorbing or infrared-transparent inks can be used and combined with conventional inks. Such effect colors can also give the security element machine-readable properties.
  • the coating may be a repeating pattern in one or two spatial directions and may consist of grid-like arranged linear or nonlinear basic elements.
  • Advantagenf örmige basic elements can be straight or curved, in particular wavy.
  • the line widths of line-shaped basic elements are advantageously between 20 ⁇ and 700 ⁇ , preferably between 30 ⁇ and 300 ⁇ and more preferably between 50 ⁇ and 200 ⁇ .
  • Non-linear basic elements may in particular have a round, oval or polygonal limited outline shape.
  • Non-linear basic elements advantageously have an extension between 20 ⁇ and 1000 ⁇ , preferably between 30 ⁇ and 500 ⁇ and more preferably between 50 ⁇ and 400 ⁇ .
  • the finely structured embossed structure is matched to the repeating pattern of the coating, so that the embossed structure and the coating matched to one another form the desired optically variable structure of the security element to be produced.
  • the embossed structure therefore advantageously also consists of linear or non-linear relief elements which repeat themselves in the same one or two-dimensional grid as the basic elements of the coating. Examples of combinations of coating and embossing that can be used advantageously in the context of the invention can be found in the publications WO 97/17211 A1, WO 2002/20280 A1, WO 2004/022355 A2, WO 2006/018232 A2 and WO 2007/093300 Al, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference insofar is included in the present application. At present, it is preferred that the printed sheet is first provided with the coating and then with the finely structured embossed structure, but it is also possible in principle to provide the printed sheet first with the finely structured embossed structure and only then with the coating.
  • a sheet-fed printing machine in particular a sheet-fed offset printing press
  • the construction of offset printing machines, in particular in row construction, enables passer-friendly printing with a high register embossing requirement. Due to the very flexible handling of the printing units, color and embossing can be quickly responded to in the process if necessary.
  • substrates in particular substrates of natural fibers, cotton, pulp and waste paper come into question. Also composites or pure plastics, which are suitable to preserve imprints permanently, can be used.
  • the substrate thickness is advantageously between
  • the basis weight of the paper is in particular between 40 g / m 2 and 600 g / m 2 , preferably between 50 g / m 2 and 220 g / m 2 , and more preferably between 60 g / m 2 and 150 g / m 2

  • an embossing cylinder and an impression cylinder form a transfer nip for carrying out and embossing the printed sheets, the embossing cylinder being provided with a flexible, finely structured embossing plate.
  • a stamping plate of the type described in more detail below is used with particular advantage.
  • the impression cylinder is provided in the embossing area with a soft embossing pad, in particular a soft latex cloth. Outside the embossing pad, the impression cylinder is advantageously protected by a protective film against mechanical influences.
  • the invention further comprises a flexible embossing plate for a sheet-fed printing press of the type described above, comprising a plate carrier and a plateau raised with respect to the surface of the plate carrier and provided with a finely textured relief structure.
  • the embossing plate is advantageously made of brass, nickel or polymer, particularly advantageously formed from spring steel.
  • the finely structured relief structure may contain linear or non-linear relief elements.
  • Line-shaped relief elements (engraving lines) can be straight or curved, in particular wavy.
  • Non-linear relief elements may in particular be pyramid-shaped and / or circular-spherical.

  • the aspect ratio, ie the ratio of structure width to structure depth of the finely structured relief structure, is advantageously between 1: 1 and 10: 1, preferably between 1.5: 1 and 3.5: 1.
  • the plate carrier of the embossing plate therefore advantageously has a thickness between 50 ⁇ and 800 ⁇ , preferably between 80 ⁇ and 500 ⁇ , more preferably between 100 ⁇ and 250 ⁇ .

  • the invention also includes a method of manufacturing a flexible die plate of the type described above, wherein a base plate, in particular a spring steel plate is provided, the base plate is etched to form a plate carrier with a raised plateau, and the plateau by milling or action is provided by laser radiation with a finely textured relief structure.
  • a milling for example, it is possible to work with a stylus with an angle of approximately 40 °, so that an engraving depth of 50% of the engraving width results. If the relief structure is generated by the action of laser radiation, the ratio of engraving depth to engraving width can be chosen arbitrarily over a wide range.
