[0002] A cigarette with a filter tip has a filter rod at the top end, which is wrapped with a thin layer of orange (also white) wrapping paper, and the upper edge is printed with gold or green lines. This paper is called water-based paper, commonly known as cigarette tip paper. Water-based paper is a special industrial paper used as the outer wrapping of filter cigarette tips. It is named after its appearance, which resembles the grain of pine wood. Water-based paper is in direct contact with the smoker's lips, so the printing ink and coating of water-based paper must be non-toxic, meet food hygiene standards, and have certain water resistance and wet strength. According to the different processing techniques, water-based paper is divided into two categories: printed water-based paper and coated water-based paper. Printed water-based paper is printed using intaglio printing technology, with a beautiful surface and good leveling properties, and is suitable for medium and high-grade cigarettes due to its high technical requirements. Coated water-based paper is processed using coating technology, which is simple in process, and the surface pattern quality and leveling properties are inferior to those of printed water-based paper, so it is often used for low-grade cigarettes.

[0032] The following is by specific embodiment the embodiment of the utility model is explained, and the person skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the utility model from the content disclosed in the specification.
[0033] In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate several embodiments of the present invention.

[0036] Example 1:
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the cork paper with micro-nano optical structure includes a cork paper body 11, an adhesive layer 12, an optical micro-nano structure layer 13, and a coating layer 14 stacked sequentially. The optical micro-nano structure layer 13 includes a grating region 131 with gratings and a non-grating region 132 without gratings. The grooves formed by the spacing between adjacent gratings have a depth of 50nm to 5μm, such as 1μm, 2μm, 3μm, or 4μm, but are not limited to this. The grating period of the optical micro-nano structure layer 13 is 200nm to 150μm. The coating layer 14 is only disposed on the outer side of the gratings, and after the coating layer 14 is disposed on the outer side of the gratings, there is still a gap between adjacent gratings. The non-grating region 132 is not covered by the coating layer 14.
[0038] The optical micro-nano structure layer 13 of this invention can generate light-changing images, forming diverse visual effects such as color, dynamic light and shadow, 3D relief, and laser. Moreover, it does not require the use of pigments, organic solvents, or other chemicals, and will not harm human health. Therefore, the cork paper with the micro-nano optical structure is environmentally friendly and healthy.
[0039] likeFigure 2 , 3 As shown, the method of setting the coating layer 14 only in the grating area 131 is as follows: Fluorine oil 21 is applied to the anilox roller corresponding to the non-grating area 132, and the fluorine oil 21 is set on the non-grating area 132 by the anilox roller. Then, the coating layer 14 is set on both the grating area 131 and the non-grating area 132. After the fluorine oil 21 evaporates, only the grating area 131 retains the coating layer 14, while the non-grating area 132 has no coating layer 14, thus forming a localized graphic effect. It can also be combined with other printing methods to create richer visual and anti-counterfeiting effects.
[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the raster area 131 includes at least one first pattern area 1311 with an invisible watermark effect. The color of the first pattern area 1311 presented under a first viewing angle is different from the color presented under a second viewing angle. In this embodiment, the first pattern area 1311 is circular. The first pattern area 1311 does not show obvious color under a first viewing angle, but shows a bright color, such as light blue, under a second viewing angle. The raster area 131 includes at least one second pattern area 1312. The color of the second pattern area 1312 presented under a first viewing angle is different from the color presented under a second viewing angle. In this embodiment, the second pattern area 1312 is an arrow. The second pattern area 1312 does not show obvious color under a first viewing angle, but shows a bright color, such as dark blue, under a second viewing angle. In this embodiment, the first viewing angle is a viewing angle perpendicular to the first pattern area 1311, i.e., a normal viewing angle, and the second viewing angle is a viewing angle with an angle greater than 75° to the normal of the first pattern area. The grating period range of the first pattern area 1311 and the second pattern area 1312 is 360nm-500nm, and the difference between the grating periods of the first pattern area 1311 and the second pattern area 1312 is not less than 50nm, so that the first pattern area 1311 and the second pattern area 1312 present different colors under the first viewing angle and / or the second viewing angle; therefore, no special light source is required, providing a good anti-counterfeiting means for naked-eye recognition.
[0041] Optionally, the adhesive layer 12 is a hot melt adhesive. The coating layer 14 includes a metal layer or a transparent dielectric layer, and the material of the coating layer 14 is aluminum, chromium, zinc sulfide, or magnesium fluoride. In this embodiment, the thickness of the coating layer 14 is 10 nm to 200 nm. The coating layer 14 includes a microcavity structure that forms a color-changing effect. The microcavity structure includes a semi-transparent and semi-reflective layer, a spacer layer, and a total reflective layer, which are stacked sequentially. The thickness of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective layer is 5 nm to 30 nm. The thickness of the spacer layer is 100 nm to 150 nm.
[0042] Optionally, the optical micro / nano structure layer 13 serves as an identifier for displaying pattern information.
[0043] Optionally, the optical micro / nano structure layer 13 can be an anti-counterfeiting pattern.
[0044] Example 2:
[0045] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the cork paper with the micro-nano optical structure also includes an ink layer 15. In this embodiment, a coating layer 14 is first set on the outside of the grating, and then the ink layer 15 is filled into the groove 101 between adjacent gratings after coating. The filling depth of the ink layer 15 is less than the depth of the groove 101, so that there is a cavity between the adjacent gratings and the top of the ink layer. This utility model uses ink to directionally fill the groove 101 between adjacent gratings, which is simple and environmentally friendly. It retains the relief light and shadow effect of the optical micro-nano structure layer 13, while the color is more vibrant.
[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, the present invention can also first fill the interval of the grating area with ink layer 15, and then perform coating to form coating layer 14.
[0047] Optionally, the method of setting the ink layer 15 in the grating area 131 is as follows: attach nano ink to the anilox roller corresponding to the grating area 131, and set the nano ink on the grating area 131 by the anilox roller, so that even if the nano ink is filled in the gap, the filling depth of the nano ink is less than the gap depth.
[0048] This utility model also relates to a cigarette stick, comprising the aforementioned cork paper with micro-nano optical structure.
[0049] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
