Claims30
System for the optically simply detectable and unambiguously assignable identification of data carriers, valuable documents and/or packs and the like, characterized in that the data carrier, the valuable document and/or the pack is provided with a coating which, by means of its coloration or by means of the colour effect produced and/or by means of its dimension and/or situation and/or its structure, permits an unambiguous assignment of the data carrier, of the valuable document and/or of the pack to a defined property.
Security elements for application to and/or for at least partial embedding in data carriers, valuable documents and/or packs and the like, characterized in that the security elements are provided with a coating as security feature which, by means of its coloration or by means of the colour effect produced and/or by means of its dimension and/or situation and/or its structure, permits an unambiguous assignment of the data carrier, of the valuable document and/or of the pack to a defined property.
Thin sheet material, characterized in that it is provided with a coating which, by means of its coloration or by means of the colour effect produced and/or by means of its dimension and/or situation and/or its structure, permits an unambiguous assignment to a defined property.
