Abstract
A transparent film for overwrapping. Adhered to the inside of the film is a tear tape. The tear tape bears an indicium which is either hidden and become s visible by viewing the tear tape through the overwrap film or the appearance of which changes according to the viewing angle. The image on the tear tape may be coded. The overwrap film includes a decoding region which, when superimposed on the tear tape and in registration therewith, reveals the hidden image, or renders the image visible when viewed through the overwrap portion or creates the visual effect of changing the image according to the viewing angle. The decoding region typically comprises a diffraction structure, such as a grating, the characteristics of which, such as its pitc h, are complementary with the scrambled or coded image and/or with the pitch of any grid or matrix from which the image is composed.
Claims (24)
1. An article containing a hidden image printed onto a surface of the article, which image can only be detected when viewed through an optical device.
2. An article containing an image printed onto a surface of the article, wherein a change in the appearance of the image can only be detected when the article is viewed through an optical device.
3. An article according to claim 1 or claim 2, wherein the hidden image is incorporated in a main image, which main image comprises a plurality of image elements arranged in a grid or matrix.
4. An article according to claim 3, wherein the hidden image comprises a plurality of image elements which are offset with respect to the matrix of the main image.
5. An article according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein an optical device for viewing the hidden image is provided on another article.
6. An article according to any of claims 1 to 4, wherein an optical device for viewing the hidden image is provided on the same article on which the hidden image is printed.
7. An article according to claim 6, wherein the hidden image is provided on the same surface or an opposed surface of the article as the device.
8. An article according to any of claims 1 to 7 comprising a transparent substrate such as a film.
9. An article according to claim 5, wherein the two articles are arranged to lie permanently in registration by laminating or otherwise joining them together.
10. An article according to claim 9, wherein one of the articles is a tear tape for use in packaging and the other article is a portion of packaging material.
11. An article according to claim 10, wherein the optical device is brought into registration with the article bearing the image only when the image is to be viewed.
12. An article according to any of claims 1 to 11, wherein the optical device comprises a grating or lens.
13. An article according to any of claims 1 to 12, wherein the hidden image is scrambled or coded or otherwise divided into a plurality of image elements which are arranged with respect to each other and/or with respect to the optical device such that the hidden image is not visible unless viewed through a descrambling or decoding region of the optical device.
14. An article according to claim 13, wherein the descrambling or decoding region of the optical device comprises a mark or template or optically variable elements or diffraction structures or louvers, which are complimentary to the image on the article bearing the hidden image, and which render the hidden image on the article visible when viewed through the descrambling or decoding region of the optical device when the two lie in registration.
15. An article containing a printed image with complex characteristics, the appearance of which image changes dependent upon the angle from which the article is viewed.
16. An article according to claim 15, wherein the article includes an optical device such as a fans or grating superimposed on or integrated with the image such that the image is viewed through or with the optical device.
17. An article according to claim 16, wherein the optical device comprises a printed grating which is permanently superimposed onto the complex printed image, and which provides for the image to change according to the angle from which it is viewed.
18. An article according to any of claims 15 to 17, wherein changing of the image includes the appearance and/or disappearance of the image.
19. An article according to any of claims 1 to 18, wherein the article comprises a portion of packaging material.
20. An article comprising first and second substrates, wherein each of the said substrates bears part of an image such that the image is visible only when the two substrates are superimposed and in registration.
21. An article according to claim 20, wherein at least one of the substrates is substantially transparent and is arranged in use to be superimposed on and in registration with the other of said substrates.
22. An article according to any of claims 1 to 21, wherein the article may comprise any from the following: a label, a tape, such as a tear tape, a portion of filmic wrap, a box or carton, threads, identification documents or passports.
23. A method of packaging an article, the method comprising providing the article with first and second packaging portions, the first packaging portion bearing an hidden image which is visible only when viewed through the second packaging portion when the first and second packaging portions lie in registration, wherein the method includes superimposing the second packaging portion on the first packaging portion so that the two packaging portions lie in registration.
24. A method of packaging an article, the method comprising providing the article with first and second packaging portions, each of which bears a part of an image, and superimposing the second packaging portion on the first packaging portion so that the packaging portions lie in registration and the image becomes visible.
23. A method of printing a hidden image onto an article comprising at least one substrate, the method comprising the steps of printing a main image which incorporates a hidden image onto the article, printing a grating onto the article so .that the hidden image and the grating are in registration, wherein the pitch of the grating is such that the hidden image can be detected.
23. A method of printing a hidden image onto an article comprising at least one substrate, the method comprising the steps of printing a main image which incorporates a hidden image onto the article, printing a grating onto the article so .that the hidden image and the grating are in registration, wherein the pitch of the grating is such that the hidden image can be detected.
