Claims
- 1. A method for applying a security element, which emits a characteristic signal in a query field of a surveillance zone of an electronic article-protection system, to a bottle label, the method comprising:a) providing a bottle label and a tape material, wherein the tape material comprises a carrier layer, a magnetic thin-film material applied to the carrier layer, and a transfer layer applied to the thin-film material, wherein the transfer layer melts under application of pressure and/or heat, and wherein adhesion between the carrier layer and the thin-film material is less than adhesion between the thin-film material and the transfer layer, and b) using the transfer layer to transfer a desired area of the thin-film material to the bottle label under local application of pressure and/or heat from a hot-stamping die.
- 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the carrier layer comprises a polyester foil.
- 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the transfer layer comprises an adhesive layer with a melting point lying in a range of 60° C.-150° C.
- 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the thin-film material comprises a magnetically soft thin-film material.
- 5. The method according to claim 4, wherein a magnetically semi-hard or hard thin-film material is applied to the magnetically soft thin-film material.
- 6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising transferring a plurality of areas of the thin-film material to the bottle label in such a manner that the security element emits a coded identification signal in a query field of a surveillance zone of an electronic article-protection system.
- 7. The method according to claim 4, further comprising transferring a plurality of areas of the thin-film material to the bottle label in such a manner that the security element emits a coded identification signal in a query field of a surveillance zone of an electronic article-protection system.
- 8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising transferring the thin-film material to a back side of the bottle label.
