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.

Examples are directed toward a substrate offset printed with front side markings on a first side and back side markings on a second side. The front side markings and the back side markings have dimensions in a micrometer range. The front side when viewed with reflected light comprises first portions of a plurality of characters. The back side when viewed with reflected light comprises second portions of the plurality of characters. The first portions and the second portions are printed, when viewed with transmitted light, to show the plurality of characters as whole characters having dimensions in the micrometer range.

A device for verifying a machine-readable security feature of a document of value, having: a transport device configured to transport the document on a transport plane, a radiation emitter that is arranged on a first flat side and emits radiation in the direction towards the first flat side, a sensor that is arranged on the first flat side and is configured to receive at least part of the luminescent radiation, a reflector arranged and configured on the second flat side-so as to at least partly reflect the luminescent radiation of the security feature of the document of value to the sensor, and an evaluation unit.

The invention relates to a multilayer body with a carrier film, a partial reflective layer, arranged on the surface of the carrier film, which is at least partially transparent in a first area and opaque in a second area, a partial decorative layer, arranged on a surface of the carrier film and/or the side of the decorative layer facing away from the carrier film, which is present in a third area and not present in a fourth area,
wherein the first area overlaps the third area and the second area overlaps the third and the fourth areas.

The invention furthermore relates to a method for producing such a multilayer body, a security element with such a multilayer body and a security document with such a security element.

The present invention relates to a multilayer plastic card including at least one polyester resin layer including a polyester resin including a residue of a diol component including 0.1 mol % to 85 mol % of isosorbide and a residue of a dicarboxylic acid component.

A pre-laminate usable for forming a datapage of a security document, includes layers of different optical appearance, such as a clear window-type portion, which may be obtained on the basis of a substantially even or flat surface. Since the desired optical appearances of different areas of the pre-laminate are established in an early manufacturing stage, any process steps to be applied in a later manufacturing stage upon forming, for instance, an optical window, in a datapage, may be omitted, thereby contributing to reduced overall manufacturing costs and enhanced tamper resistance of the resulting datapage.

A security device is presented, including: an array of focusing elements, each focusing element being adapted to focus light in at least two orthogonal directions, the focusing elements being arranged on a regular two-dimensional grid; and an array of elongate image elements overlapping the array of focusing elements, configured such that each focusing element can direct light from any one of a respective set of at least two elongate image elements to the viewer, in dependence on the viewing angle. In a first region of the security device, the elongate image elements extend along a first direction, and in a second region of the security device, the elongate image elements extend along a second direction which is different to the first direction.
