Provided are a hinged laminate body, a booklet, and a laminate body that are able to increase the installation area of a member for authenticity determination. A hinged laminate body is configured so as to be able to increase the installation area of a member for authenticity determination by being provided with: an upper transparent layer; watermarked paper that is arranged below the upper transparent layer; and a hinge layer that has a hinge portion protruding from the upper transparent layer in a plan view and that is arranged below the watermarked paper. The watermarked paper of the hinged laminate body is provided with: an inner watermarked paper section that is arranged between the upper transparent layer and the hinge layer; and an outer watermarked paper section that is provided to the hinge portion so as to be arranged contiguously with the inner watermarked paper section.

A method for making an agenda with an integrated housing for a writing instrument is disclosed. The method uses a sheet having lines of creases and a plurality of elements which form the cover of the agenda and are mutually separated in their inside by corresponding first parallel creases, and a plurality of quadrangular strips separated in their inside by second creases arranged transversely to the first parallel creases. The plurality of strips is connected to a first element of the plurality of elements. The plurality of strips is folded to form a tubular frame. One of the strips adheres to the surface of the first element to fasten the tubular frame. The plurality of elements is folded so that the first element is a part of one side of the agenda cover, and a second element is a part of a second side of the agenda cover. A block of sheets is fastened to the sheet and extends below the tubular frame.

A security document, along with its methods of formation, is provided. The security document may include a base sheet, a colored coating on the base sheet, a foil laminate on at least a portion of the colored coating, and an outer lacquer coating over the colored coating such that the foil laminate is embedded between the colored coating and the outer lacquer coating. The outer lacquer coating may include a polymeric resin, and may also include a crosslinking agent and a wetting agent.

A flexible band configured to be connected to a data page and to a booklet, wherein the flexible band extends along a main direction and includes an upper side and a lower side as well as a plurality of apertures, wherein the flexible band includes at least one security element, wherein the security element is provided by at least one security print pattern; or the security element is provided by at least one security thread; or the security element is provided by at least one security print pattern in combination with at least one security thread.

A data carrier with a cover layer, a base layer, and an information layer arrangement. The information layer arrangement includes at least a first information layer and a second information layer arranged after the first information layer along an extension direction. The first information layer and the second information layer have different optical properties, and the information layer arrangement has an unmodified region and at least one modified region, the at least one modified region having at least one recess extending at least partially into the first information layer along the extension direction. The at least one modified region is configured to reflect incident electromagnetic waves whereby a first reflection spectrum is generated, the unmodified region is configured to reflect said incident electromagnetic waves whereby a second reflection spectrum is generated, the first reflection spectrum being different from the second reflection spectrum.

A tab is provided for notebooks and binders. The tab is placed within the space otherwise occupied by a binding, and thus is protected from wear and does not appreciably increase the overall size of the notebook or binder. The tab may be located at a corner of the binding or at an intermediate point along the binding.
