Description

“Method for manufacturing a protective label comprising a data-protection security portion assembled to a support”DESCRIPTION

[0001] Technical field of the invention

[0002] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a protective label comprising a data-protection security portion assembled to a support, as well as a method for applying the protective label to a document.

[0003] Prior art

[0004] Methods for protecting data or information on substrates, which can be paper or plastic, e.g., forming the pages of personal identification booklets, such as travel passports or documents for national identification use, are known.

[0005] For example, in passports, the holder's identification data and photograph are firmly glued under a transparent plastic film, e.g., inside the hard cover of the passport, to prevent forgery.

[0006] According to known technologies, the passport comprises an information page made of thermosetting plastic material, such as polycarbonate, which is personalized, e.g., by means of a laser inscription. It is an object of these technologies to provide a passport which makes the forgery of the passport data impossible.

[0007] Tests have been conducted which demonstrate that the passport according to these technologies and the identification information and photograph provided using the aforesaid method can only be manufactured using certain devices and materials correctly selected so that the end result is exactly as desired. In practice, the passport is thus impossible to forge. Special equipment and correctly selected raw materials are required to manufacture the passport, which only passport manufacturers have the ability and right to acquire.

[0008] For example, document US4629215A describes an identification card containing information, such as name, account number, photo of the card holder, etc. The card is protected by an overlaying printed security pattern, which is difficult to imitate, or by a homogeneous printed surface. The information is inscribed into the identification card material through the printed security pattern by a laser recorder. The energy of the laser and the colors of the printed security pattern are coordinated with each other so that the laser light is not absorbed by the printed security pattern and the latter is not destroyed by the laser light.

[0009] For example, W02014150305A2 to 3M Innovative Properties Co. describes an item including a biodata page, which defines a perimeter comprising an edge and a hinge layer attached to at least a portion of the biodata page. The hinge layer is made of cross-linked polyurethane. In some examples, the hinge layer includes a cross-linked thermosetting polyurethane. In an example, this item comprises a biodata page, which defines a perimeter comprising an edge and a hinge layerfixed to at least a portion of the biodata page, where the hinge layer comprises a cross-linked polyurethane, and where a portion of the hinge layer extends beyond the edge to form a flexible hinge.

[0010] For example, WO9819870A1 to Setec OY describes a passport comprising an information page with identification data and a photograph of the passport holder, where the information page is made of thermosetting plastic, such as polycarbonate, which is personified by means of laser inscription.

[0011] For example, US2005202249A1 to Canadian Bank Note Co LTD describes a hard laminate sheet for security booklets and manufacturing method thereof. The laminate sheet comprises at least two hard core layers (e.g., of polycarbonate) and a flexible component (e.g., nylon) therebetween and extending beyond an outer edge of the core layers to form a flexible band. The flexible component can be provided as an intermediate layer also comprising a hard component (e.g., made of polycarbonate) juxtaposed with the flexible component and laminated to the adjacent core layers. The flexible component comprises a plurality of apertures within which the material of the adjacent core layers is laminated together with and fixes the flexible component to the laminate sheet. Additional hard core layers can be laminated to the core layers sandwiching the intermediate layer. Optionally, the laminate sheet can be used for a travel document (such as a passport) and can be laser engraved. Furthermore, optionally, the laminate sheet can comprise an inner layer with hard core configured to contain a contactless integrated circuit chip and an antenna or other electronic hardware.

[0012] For example, US6135503A to Giesecke & Devrient GmbH describes an identification document, such as a passport or the like, consisting of a plurality of sheets bound into a book with a seam. At least one of the sheets forms a data sheet provided with information and consisting at least of two layers, at least one of the layers being transparent. The format of the layers is selected to protrude beyond the zone of the seam thus ensuring a connection of the data sheet with the other sheets of the identification document in the zone of the seam. The layers are joined into an inseparable laminate in the zone of the information but do not stick together in the zone of the seam.

[0013] Ob ject and summary of the invention

[0014] The present invention aims at improving the method for manufacturing a label comprising a data-protection security portion assembled to a support, so as to simplify the manufacturing thereof and the application of data-protection security portion to the surface of a page of a document on which data to be protected from accessibility are present, for example to avoid tampering, alteration, deletion or replacement thereof, while simplifying the removal of the support.

[0015] Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to solve the drawbacks of the prior art and allow achieving the needs mentioned above.

[0016] This and other objects are achieved by a method for manufacturing a protective label as claimed in claim 1, as well as method for applying the protective label to a document 17, a label made according to said method according to claim 20, and a document with protection of data present thereon according to claim 21.

[0017] Other advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0018] The following advantages can be achieved by virtue of the general embodiment and variants described above and further described below.

[0019] For example, by virtue of the suggested solutions, it is possible to simplify the manufacturing of security labels, but without however reducing the inherent security and the security of the product on which it is applied.

[0020] Furthermore, by virtue of the suggested solutions, it is possible to obtain labels the manufacturing accuracy of which is high and has a very high quality tolerance, allowing for a drastic reduction of waste.

[0021] Still further, by virtue of the suggested solutions, it is possible to eliminate the problems associated with adhesive bleeding, which problem prevented easy implementation of the manufacturing methods known to date.

[0022] Still further, by virtue of the suggested solutions, it is possible to provide even complex label shapes without complicating or compromising the manufacturing operations.

[0023] Still further, by virtue of the suggested solutions, it is possible to remove the temporary support film, when joined to the first portion, separating it from the second portion or area, which forms a data- protection security portion. Furthermore, it is possible to remove the temporary support film by separating it, by virtue of the at least one release layer, from the second assembly, which forms said support together with said third assembly. The desired solution is thus obtained, avoiding register diecutting operations (which are possible but only optional) and which are complex to perform because carried out on very thin layers and thus with possibility of error and waste. Without die-cutting, the separation of the temporary support film associated only with the first portion occurs by tearing it off with very high precision together with the first portion, thus creating a very clear-cut operation and delimiting the second portion.
