  • Patent number: 6441739
    Abstract: A tape material (1) comprising a support layer (2) and a thin-layer magnetic material (3), which is placed onto the support layer (2), serves as a security material. In a surveillance zone the thin-layer magnetic material (3) emits a characteristic signal for the electronic surveillance of articles. The aim is to provide a tape material which allows for simple application of thin-layer materials on any support materials. To this end a transfer layer (4), which can be melted by pressure and/or heat, is provided for on the thin-layer material (3), and the adhesion between the support layer (2) and the thin-layer material (3) is less than the adhesion between the thin-layer material (3) and the transfer layer (4). Consequently, a hot-pressing die (7) may be utilized to transfer a desired area of the thin-layer material (3), via the transfer layer (4), onto the article (6a) or another support layer (6b).
