Abstract
An authentication tag and a method for producing the same are disclosed. For example, the authentication tag includes a substrate, a correlation mark printed on a first part of the substrate, a key printed on the second part of the substrate, wherein a portion of the substrate is transparent, and at least one raised feature is printed on the substrate.
Claims20
An authentication tag, comprising:
- a substrate;
- a correlation mark printed on a first part of the substrate;
- a key printed on the second part of the substrate, wherein a portion of the substrate is transparent;
- and
- at least one raised feature printed on the substrate.
A method for producing an authentication tag, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, correlation marks and a key image to be printed, wherein the correlation marks and the key image display an image when the key image is overlaid on the correlation marks;
- controlling, by the processor, a printer to print the correlation marks on a first part of a substrate and the key image on a second part of the substrate, wherein a portion of the substrate is transparent;
- and
- controlling, by the processor, the printer to print at least one raised feature on the substrate.
The method of 15, wherein the portion of the substrate with the at least one raised feature and the second portion of the substrate with the at least one depressed feature are located on the substrate to align when the key image is overlaid on the correlation marks.
An authentication tag, comprising:
- a correlation mark printed on a first part of a partially-clear substrate;
- a key printed on a second part of the partially-clear substrate, wherein at least the correlation mark or the key is printed on a clear part of the partially-clear substrate, wherein an image is displayed when the key is overlaid on the correlation mark;
- at least one raised feature that is printed on a third part of the partially-clear substrate;
- and
- at least one depressed feature that is printed on a fourth part of the partially-clear substrate, wherein the at least one depressed feature is a same shape as the at least one raised feature, wherein the third part and the fourth part are located at a position on the partially-clear substrate that align when the partially-clear substrate is folded along a scored portion of the partially-clear substrate to overlay the key on the correlation marks.
