Claims25
A tamperproof case containing a genuine article, wherein the case comprises a space containing the article between first and second sheet members which are permanently bonded together in at least an area that substantially completely surrounds the space, and wherein and least one of (i) at least one of the first and second sheet members comprises at least one security element that is invisible under light in a visible wavelength range, and (ii) at least one security element that is invisible under light in a visible wavelength range is present in the area in which the first and second sheet members are permanently bonded together.
A tamperproof case for a genuine article, wherein the case comprises a space for accommodating the article between first and second sheet members which are capable of being permanently bonded together in at least an area that substantially completely surrounds the space, and wherein at least one of the first and second sheet members comprises at least one security element that is invisible under light in a visible wavelength range.
A method of making a tamperproof case for a genuine article, wherein the method comprises permanently bonding together two sheet members which together provide a space for accommodating the article between the sheet members, the bonding being conducted to not more than to an extent which still allows the article to be placed in the space, and wherein at least one of the first and second sheet members comprises at least one security element that is invisible under light in a visible wavelength range.
A method of authenticating a genuine article, wherein the method comprises arranging the article in a space between first and second sheet members, and permanently bonding the first and second sheet members together in at least an area that substantially completely surrounds the space containing the article, at least one of the first and second sheet members comprising at least one security element that is invisible under light in a visible wavelength range.
A tamperproof bag containing a genuine article, wherein the bag is permanently sealed or comprises a single opening that is capable of being permanently sealed and comprises at least one security element that is invisible under light in a visible wavelength range.
