  • Publication number: 20080012288
    Abstract: The invention relates to stock comprising a masking field on which an information pattern can be printed in such a way that it can be recognised in front of the background of the masking field only once certain manipulations have been carried out. The aim of the invention is to increase the security of the confidential information. To this end, the following measures are carried out individually or as a combination: the masking field contains irregularly distributed colour points of between 50 and 400 ?m, amounting to an entire surface area of between 0.3 and 0.5 cm2 per cm2; and/or the masking field consists of a plurality of superimposed printed layers; and/or the masking field is printed with a printing ink, of which at least 50% is concentrated in a masking field layer; and/or the masking field can be removed, at least partially and/or together with other layers, using an adhesive strip, with a peeling force of between 0.5 N/50 mm and 2 N/50 mm according to the Finat test method no.

  • Patent number: 6328340
    Abstract: This invention concerns a form (1) which has an integrated card (3) which can be detached from it. A substrate material (2) is glued to the back of the form at least partly covering the area of the card (3). This substrate material (2) has both a substrate layer (21) and a peeling adhesive layer (22) which loses its stickiness upon being detached. The card (3) is a punched product which is held in the form (1) by the substrate layer (21). The peeling adhesive layer (22) has its normal properties with respect to the substrate layer (21)—when separated from it upon detaching the card (3), it (22) stays with the card (3). As the surface layer of the detached card (3), it can be written or printed upon, even if the back of the card is plasticized by a film (23) embedded in the substrate material. The writing or imprint can no longer easily be modified through the peeling adhesive layer (22). This makes the card considerably more tamper-proof than earlier cards.

  • Patent number: 6227574
    Abstract: The form (1) is distinguished in that the integrated detachable card (2) is connected to the material surrounding it at least partly along its external margin in the form by an as [sic] bridge, the material thickness along the bridge being continuously less than the overall thickness of the form. The bridge is preferably formed by a part layer (9), all the remaining part layers (10-13) being severed. The card can be constructed simply, with plastification on one or both sides, as a vignette and/or as a so-called butterfly card. In addition, it may also be part of a self-adhesive label or may contain one.

  • Patent number: 5916665
    Abstract: The form (1) has an integrated, separable card. Parts (K1, K2) superimposed in the card are juxtaposed in the form (1), but can be bonded together by folding onto one another. Such cards are also called butterfly cards. At least one of the two card surfaces (F1) can be individually inscribed in the form (1), the inscription in the finished card being superimposed by a further layer and is consequently optionally sealed. For producing the form (1) it is sufficient to apply a prefabricatable multilayer material (2, 3) on one side to a form sheet (1) and in the vicinity of this material to perform at least one punching (S1, S2). The cards according to the invention can be punched out completely from the form (1), i.e. in web or frame-free manner and can consequently be easily released.
