METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FO ROBTAINING A LAMINATE FOR USE AS MATERIAL FOR CREATING THE COUNTERFEIT-PROTECTED DOCUMENTS

摘要

Production of a laminate of polymer sheet carrying information and a carrier sheets, for further processing to counterfeit-proof documents, comprises: (a) feeding a film (24) made up of a polymer sheet (17) with support sheets (23) on both sides to a first processing point (31) where one support sheet is delaminated; (b) applying a carrier sheet (18) coated with adhesive and cross-linking this with UV; (c) feeding the laminate (44) produced to a second processing point (52) where the second support sheet is removed and a second carrier sheet (19) applied, as above. Independent claims are included for: (a) a process as above, but in which the two stages are carried out at a single processing point; and (b) a machine for carrying out the process.
