Security device with foil camouflaged magnetic regions and methods of making same

A method of making a magnetic/metallic security device for use with an item, to provide camouflaged multiple security features, said method comprising the acts of:

• providing a carrier substrate having first and second surfaces;
• applying a metallic layer to at least a portion of said first surface of said carrier substrate;
• providing at least one metallic foil region disposed on at least a portion of a release coated carrier film;
• providing at least one magnetic region disposed on at least one of either said carrier substrate or said release coated carrier film;
• and
• contacting said carrier substrate to said metallic foil region such that said at least one magnetic region is enclosed between said at least one metallic region disposed on at least a portion of said carrier substrate and said at least one metallic foil region disposed on at least a portion of a release coated carrier film after said carrier substrate and said release coated carrier film are contacted under conditions that serve to bond the metallic and magnetic regions together.

A magnetic/metallic security device made in accordance with a method comprising the acts of:

• providing a carrier substrate having first and second surfaces;
• applying a metallic layer to at least a portion of said first surface of said carrier substrate;
• providing at least one metallic foil region disposed on at least a portion of a release coated carrier film;
• providing at least one magnetic region disposed on at least one of either said carrier substrate or said release coated carrier film;
• and
• contacting said carrier substrate to said metallic foil region such that said at least one magnetic region is enclosed between said at least one metallic region disposed on at least a is portion of said carrier substrate and said at least one metallic foil region disposed on at least a portion of a release coated carrier film after said carrier substrate and said release coated carrier film are contacted under conditions that serve to bond the metallic and magnetic regions together.

A magnetic/metallic security device for use with an item to provide multiple security features, said magnetic/metallic security device comprising:

• a carrier substrate having a width;
• at least one metallic region disposed on at least a portion of said carrier substrate;
• at least one metallic foil region disposed on at least a portion of a release coated carrier film, said metallic foil region having a top and bottom surface;
• and
• at least one magnetic region disposed on at least one of either said carrier substrate or said release coated carrier film, such that said at least one magnetic region is enclosed between said at least one metallic region disposed on at least a portion of said carrier substrate and said at least one metallic foil region disposed on at least a portion of a release coated carrier film after said carrier substrate and said release coated carrier film are contacted under conditions that serve to bond the metallic and magnetic regions together.
