TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

AND CONDITIONS FOR MANUFACTURING PROTECTED

PRINTING PRODUCTS

The purpose of these requirements is to establish a uniform manufacturing procedure applicable to all types of security printing products, including the choice of document format and print detail.

Technical requirements and conditions for the manufacture of security printing products are established taking into account the purpose, term of circulation, conditions of use, the level of damage in case of falsification and the attractiveness of counterfeiting security printing products of this type.

1. General technical requirements and conditions for the manufacture of security printed products.

To ensure reliable protection against counterfeiting of protected printing products, paper and printed image, as well as paints, must carry security elements. Each type of protected printing product must be printed with at least two types of printing. The number and series are done in letterpress printing.

The composition of security printed products should be based on guilloche patterns, which are understood as a combination of thin and intertwining lines with complex geometry and a characteristic pitch of 1 - 2 mm. Guilloche drawings can be positive (contour) and negative (direct). The thickness of the guilloche lines should not exceed 40 - 70 microns in contour elements (positively), and 50 - 90 microns in direct (negatively).

Guilloche drawings should be composed of a large number of identical elements. The structure of graphic elements should be irregular.

Multi-color guilloche designs must be made by applying two or more complementary guilloche elements in different colors one on top of the other when the designs are coordinated and complement each other. It should be easy to identify. Overlapping randomly selected elements is not allowed.

The composition of security printed products must have at least three guilloche images different in shape and pattern, some of which have a positive, and others - a negative execution of the lines. The composition of security printed products must include microtext. In the positive version, it should have a font height of 150 - 200 microns, and in the negative - 200 - 250 microns.

The front side of the security printing products must consist of at least 70% of multi-color guilloche patterns of an irregular structure.

When preparing forms of securities on paper with a watermark, the reverse side must also be sealed. In this case, in addition to the above, one-color, multi-matte guilloche patterns can be used.

Compositions are divided into original and neutral (typical).

The original composition is created only for a specific customer and is unique in terms of frame, background and other design elements. With a neutral composition, the individualization of security printing products is achieved through the use of several individual complex guilloche elements with fine graphics and high quality.

The print must be clear, of the same tone, without gaps filled up or clogged with ink. The tone of paint, the size of the margins in all copies belonging to the same circulation must be the same. The production of security printing products with visible differences in the above parameters is not allowed. Crosshairs of lines of guilloche elements and background grids should not have thickenings (nodes). Printing of superimposed multi-color guilloche elements must be done with accurate registration, allowing the user to identify the combination of elements.

In multi-color guilloche drawings, printing must be done with printing inks, the coloristic features of which make it difficult to reproduce them by known photographic and copying methods. In addition, special inks with visible luminescence (other than blue light) in ultraviolet radiation and inks with visual protective effects and/or special machine-readable features should be used.

When using holograms as security elements for security printed products, holograms must be made in the form of hot stamping foil or cold lamination, have an exclusive design and microtext from 20 to 100 microns. It is recommended to use images with kinegram effects and latent images (for security printed products of level B).

The size of the hologram should be sufficient to identify it by signs of authenticity. The hologram must be protected from the possibility of its repetition by electroforming methods.

In the case of using holographic security elements in the manufacture of security printed products of level B, it is allowed to use holographic images made on a self-adhesive destructible base.

When using in the process of manufacturing security printed products of levels "A", "B" and "C" security elements made using holographic, informational and microprocessor security methods, the security class of such elements is confirmed by a certificate of compliance with the requirements of the governing documents of the State Technical Commission of Russia.

2. Technical requirements and conditions for the production of security printed products of level "A".

2.1. Level "A" security printing products include:

protected printing products, the requirements for the manufacture of which, established by the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipalities, regulatory acts of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local governments or by the customer, contain an indication of the need to protect these products against counterfeiting at the level of bearer securities or provide for one or more requirements for the protection of this printing products from counterfeiting, similar (or comparable) to the technical requirements established by this Order, used to protect against counterfeiting printing products of level "A".

2.2. Security printed products of level "A" must be produced on paper weighing 70 - 120 g/sq. m, containing at least 50% cotton or linen fiber, with an exclusive watermark (either by the licensee or the issuer), which is translucent-shaded, with a pronounced contrast that ensures its reliable visual control. The paper must not have a glow (visible luminescence) under the action of ultraviolet radiation, must contain at least two types of fibers controlled in the visible or other regions of the spectrum.

It is acceptable to replace one of the types of fiber with other types of inclusions - confetti, polymer threads, encapsulated phosphor. It is not allowed to use special fibers that have a visible blue luminescence under the action of ultraviolet radiation.

Forms of securities (with the exception of bearer checks) must have a format of at least A5 (148 x 210 mm). Bearer checks must have a format of at least A-P6 (135 x 72 mm).

In the manufacture of security printing products of level "A", only the original composition should be used.

In the manufacture of security printing products of level "A", in addition to traditional printing methods, special types of printing (metallography and / or Oryol printing) or other highly secure printing methods that provide a comparable level of security for printing products should be used.

3. Technical requirements and conditions for the production of security printed products of level "B".

3.1. Security printed products of level "B" include: forms of registered and order securities and other documents that are classified as securities by securities laws or in the manner prescribed by them (with the exception of bearer securities and other security printed products classified in in accordance with this Order for security printed products of levels "A" and "B");

protected printing products, the requirements for the manufacture of which, established by the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, constituent entities of the Russian Federation, municipalities, regulatory acts of federal executive authorities, executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, local authorities or by the customer, contain an indication of the need to use in the production the specified products of anti-counterfeiting technologies (methods), with the exception of security printing products classified in accordance with this Order as security printing products of levels "A" and "B" (for example, lottery tickets, regional special stamps, license forms, etc. .).

3.2. Security printed products of level "B" must be produced on paper weighing 70 - 120 g/sq. m, containing at least 25% cotton or linen fiber, with an exclusive watermark (either by the licensee or the issuer), which is translucent-shaded, with a pronounced contrast that ensures its reliable visual control. The paper must not have a glow (visible luminescence) under the action of ultraviolet radiation, must contain at least two types of fibers controlled in the visible or other regions of the spectrum. It is acceptable to replace one of the types of fiber with other types of inclusions - confetti, polymer threads, encapsulated phosphor. It is not allowed to use special fibers that have a visible blue luminescence under the action of ultraviolet radiation.

In the manufacture of the following types of security printing products: checks, instant lotteries with an erasable coating, regional special stamps and other products that by their design do not allow control of the watermark, deviations from the requirements established by the first paragraph of subparagraph 3.2 of these technical requirements are allowed.

Forms of securities must have a format of at least A5 (148 x 210 mm). Checks must have a format of at least A-P6 (135 x 72 mm). The format of lottery tickets and other security printing products is determined by the customer.

From this article you will learn

Many residents of our country are well aware of such a phenomenon as counterfeit goods. Moreover, the risk of acquiring a fake exists in relation to a wide variety of products. Unscrupulous manufacturers use the image of a promoted brand to sell their products, which can be significantly lower in quality. Therefore, organizations are trying to prevent counterfeiting of their goods, and secure printing helps them in this.

What is security printing

Security printing differs from conventional printing in that it is produced using various methods that prevent full or partial copying of such products. In particular, it can be paper for security forms, special dyes, as well as other holographic, information and microprocessor methods for protecting printing.

There are two types of secure printing products (SPP):

Forms that must be protected from forgery in accordance with laws or other regulations issued by the authorities. Such documents include bills, shares, checks and much more.

Forms, the decision to protect which for certain purposes is made by a legal entity. For example, the director of an enterprise may issue an order that passes to the territory of the plant must be equipped with special protective elements.

In the legislation of the Russian Federation, there are rules governing the release of security printing. A legal entity has the right to publish it only with a special license. The Federal Tax Service is responsible for issuing such permits.

Why do businesses need security printing?

Business documentation requirements are getting more and more stringent these days. In many areas, security printing has long been commonplace. The law obliges self-regulating organizations, educational institutions, centers of additional education and other institutions to draw up their documents in accordance with GOST. The forms of such organizations are watermarked, background patterns, hidden symbols, etc.

However, not always the reason for the release of security printing is legislative norms. Often, firms seek not so much to stop copying of their products as to stand out from other manufacturers. A hologram in the form of a company logo on a document immediately creates a certain impression for the client, creates the image of a serious organization that cares about the quality of its products.

Printing is usually counterfeited by companies that produce counterfeit products. They make products similar to those of a well-known brand, but often in violation of certain standards. However, due to the availability of all necessary licenses and certificates, such goods enter the market. If the buyer finds flaws in the product, the store returns the money to him, but the attitude towards the brand still changes.

It is especially important to avoid such situations when the company is only reaching a wide audience and has not had time to establish itself. A poor-quality fake can bring serious problems: first it will hit the reputation, and then reduce the level of sales and profits. That is why security printing is becoming so popular among young firms.

What levels of protection can secure printing have?

Security printing has three levels of security: "A", "B" and "C". Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. 14n dated February 7, 2003 establishes which methods of protecting documents and the quality of their execution should be characteristic of each of these levels.

• Printing products of the highest protection category(level "A").

This group includes forms of bearer securities such as bills of exchange or bank cheques. This may also include other security printing, if regulations require its production with protection at the level of such securities.

• Printing products of medium protection category(level "B").

This category of security printing includes forms of registered and order securities, namely shares, registered bills, certificates, etc. This also includes other documents for which the law defines a similar level of protection, for example, lottery tickets, license forms, regional special stamps.

• Printing products of the lowest protection category(level "B").

What technologies are used to produce security printing

There are different technical and technological ways to create security printing. In total, five types of protection are distinguished:

Protection using design techniques (non-standard layout and special graphic editors)

• Intentional "defects".

The production of security printing can be started at the stage of design development. To do this, small errors are specifically allowed in the text of the document. This can be a font change, a change in the height or width of characters, the use of lines of different thicknesses. When a document contains a sufficient amount of text, it is highly likely that these nuances will be missed when copying security printing, and it will be easy to distinguish a real document from a fake one.

• Control and bar codes.

It is understood that security printing may contain control images consisting of lines, shapes or bitmaps. An example is the design of the old-style one hundred dollar bill. If you fold it in half, the fold line will pass exactly through the pupil of the president's eye, which is depicted on the bill.

Behind this name are background patterns familiar to many, which are formed from thin lines applied to the entire area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe sheet and intersecting with each other. According to the regulations, security printing is covered with such images by at least 70%, and for the most part they must be multi-colored.

• Microtext.

This is the name of the text in one or several lines, which is printed in very small print. As a result, only a thin line can be seen with the naked eye, and characters are recognized only with a magnifying glass. The height of microtext characters is about 250 µm.

• Special line rasters.

Some organizations that have permission to print security printing, along with other security methods, use special screens. Their peculiarity is that the image is compiled on the basis of a grid consisting of straight and curved lines, as well as circles. The pattern is created by changing the thickness of these elements.

• Volumetric effect.

Security printing can be made with the effect of a three-dimensional pattern. This technique is based on the features of human vision. With the help of special programs, the images on the document are lined up in a certain way, and then printed in strict accordance with the scheme. As a result, printing will have special properties: if you look at the image for a long time, a hidden drawing will be visible. Perhaps in the future this method of protecting documents will become one of the most popular.

• Hidden images or combined drawings.

In this case, the hidden drawing or text appears when looking at the sheet from a certain angle.

Technological methods of printing

• Oryol seal.

Security printing printed on an Oryol machine cannot be exactly copied on other equipment. It will not be possible to repeat the document on the same machine if the original forms are missing. And even to understand which original was used, looking at the final result, is quite difficult. Oryol printing uses compositions of the most complex guilloche elements, consisting of many continuous lines that change shades and brightness levels.

It is possible to make such an image using offset printing. To do this, you need to put several colors into the inking machine and turn off the rolling of the rollers.

• Metallography.

A variation of intaglio printing is the so-called intaglio printing. High pressure and special dyes allow you to create unusual halftones and relief, which will help distinguish protected printing from fakes.

• Dry offset.

To produce this type of security printing, the printing house must comply with a strictly defined temperature level in the room and in the nodes of the printing machine. It is possible to set up offset equipment for printing in this way. The disadvantage of its use is the increase in the cost of products.

Protected by special treatment of paper or other print base

• Water marks.

These elements are applied to paper at the manufacturing stage. For this, calendering cylinders are used. The essence of the method is that in some places the thickness of the paper changes, which outwardly looks like a latent image.

• Protective inclusions.

They are used in the production of this type of security printing, such as banknotes. Colored fibers, polymer or metal threads and other inclusions are introduced into the fabric during the manufacturing process. Special electronic devices react to these inclusions, which allows you to quickly check products for authenticity.

A variety of protective inclusions can be considered metallized strips. They differ only in that they contain additionally encoded digital information.

Security printing as an inclusion may contain even a small amount of chemical elements with radiation. It is safe for people, but it is instantly recognized by devices.

If you have ever purchased foreign-made household appliances, you are most likely familiar with security printing in the form of stickers. It looks like a self-adhesive film like VOID. It is a multilayer material in which the bond between the inner layers is very weak, but it adheres well to the product. The point is that such a sticker can be torn off only once, after which the word VOID will become visible, which means “invalid” in translation. It is not possible to glue such a film back unnoticed.

Protection with dyes or other printed media

Paints may contain in their composition the protective elements mentioned above. There are dyes with a modified composition: with metallized, magnetic, fluorescent and other inclusions.

Paints that do not dry, but are well absorbed, not only retain the colorfulness of the pattern for a long time, but also allow you to distinguish a fake.

Security printing is sometimes printed using tamper-resistant inks. These can be substances that change color when exposed to temperature or under radiation. If the product is covered with such paint, to establish authenticity, it is enough to hold it in your hands and look at the color change.

It is easy to detect counterfeit documents printed with inks that can change color under different lighting conditions. These products are tested under ultraviolet or infrared lamp light or under bright daylight.

Using additional security features after printing

We are talking about the fact that elements of secure printing are introduced not only in the manufacturing process, but also in the processing of finished products. Among the popular methods of protection during finishing are:

Typically, holograms are made from foil and then attached to the printed product using hot stamping or lamination. You cannot copy this element yourself. Images on holographic foil are bought or ordered in large quantities.

• Cut to original shape.

Die-cutting inside or along the contour of a sheet is an expensive way to protect printing when it comes to making a small print run. However, this method is actively used for security labels and calierettes: a simple rectangular shape is practically not found here.

• Notches that reduce strength.

Security printing may also be designed to prevent reuse of packaging. In addition to the VOID film, a deliberate reduction in the strength of the packaging material is used for this purpose. Notches are applied to the paper, which exclude the possibility of opening the package without damaging it.

• Hot stamping (blint or foil).

Security embossing requires special equipment. There are two main types of embossing: blind or foil. Varieties are also distinguished depending on the relief: flat and embossed (with a clearly defined change in relief). The embossing technology is relatively simple, but its use requires expensive materials. And since the performance of inexpensive equipment leaves much to be desired, it is very unprofitable to produce security printing with embossing in artisanal conditions.

In contact with

In the first part of this publication, an attempt was made to systematize the requirements existing in Russia for the production of security printing products - all requirements are summarized in four tables. This is convenient, first of all, for experts of public or private organizations when checking the compliance of products with the levels of protection indicated on them.
In the second part of the article (in the next issue of CompuArt), the fifth (multifunctional) table will be published, which summarizes the methods of printing, protection in paper and ink, and which can be used to determine the degree (or ease) of counterfeiting protected products. It will be useful not only for experts and manufacturers, but above all for customers of this type of products.

Come up with a name for an entire industry

There is a whole direction in the printing industry, which is not a very good name - "protected" or "protective". I have been working in security technologies for 15 years, but I could not find another, more worthy and beautiful word. In the stock of the Word dictionary, except for the synonyms "prevention" or "do not give offense", there is nothing. Probably, some more time will pass and this adjective will come from another language (after all, there was “tifdruch” paper at one time).

On fig. 1 shows an image of the Moscow Kremlin, made by the author of the article in the style of a background grid for a security paper in a special program (CompuArt No. 6'2008). This color engraving of intersecting lines in a certain order is presented in the article in order for the reader to take a break from the halftone screen and immerse himself in the world of intersecting lines, which are the main element in the design of security products. Moreover, they must intersect with certain conditions (see paragraph 4 of Table 1).

By the way, it is in the Kremlin that ideas are born, on the basis of which decisions are issued - the Government of the Russian Federation, the Central Executive Committee of Russia, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, etc. Regulations concerning the start of issuance of blank passports, banknotes, security stamps, insurance policies, etc., are of particular interest to the heads of firms licensed to produce security products. It is clear why - winning the tender promises huge circulation and budget money.

Table 1. General requirements for security printing products

	At least two types of printing
	Line thickness: positive - 40-70 microns; negative - 50-90 microns
	The presence of three types of guilloche elements in the positive and negative performance
	Absence of thickenings and knots at the intersection of lines
	Number and series - high printing method
	Microtext height: Positive - 150-200 microns; Negative 200-250 µm
	Hologram - for protection levels "A" and "B" (with exclusive design) - optional
	Special paints: UV luminescence; visual security effects and/or machine-readable features
	Printing the reverse side of a security paper with one-color guilloche drawing
	Designation of the year of manufacture of products in the imprint

Table 2. Requirements for products with protection level "A"

The representative of the customer of such products (and this is, as a rule, the level of the head of a department or department of a ministry) often has no idea what he wants to receive from the licensee. It is good if licensee firms have sales managers who are well trained and versed in security printing (there are more and more such people). And if they are not there, then a lot of time is lost to coordinate the order and the likelihood of reprinting the circulation increases. Therefore, the following can be used as a cheat sheet in negotiations between the customer and the licensee.

How to better present information

In the table that D.I. Mendeleev dreamed of, the chemical elements are arranged in a certain order. The idea of ​​the Russian scientist is simple and is contained in one word - "systematization", that is, the ability to present information using a visual tabular form.

In general printing, also in the form of tables, there are norms for calculating the consumption of materials to order, stock balances of paper, price lists, etc. Well, in the form of text, all kinds of technological instructions, job duties, contracts, etc. are presented.

Currently, there is also some systematization in security printing: on each such product, in addition to indicating the name of the manufacturer and its location (city), year of manufacture of the product, the level of protection must be indicated - “A”, “B” or “C” (Fig. .2).

Rice. 2. The red rectangle on the federal special stamp marks the zone of the manufacturer's imprint and the level of its protection - "B"

Table 3. Requirements for products with protection level "B"

	Paper weight - 70-120 g/m 2
	Exclusive watermark. When issuing checks, lottery tickets, etc. its absence is possible
	At least two types of protective fibers
	No fibers with blue luminescence
	Original composition (design)
	Offset printing method
	Traditional or non-traditional printing methods
	The presence of an overlay of two background grids with a variable step. Having two background grids with iris peals

Table 4. Requirements for products with protection level "B"

This is stated in the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. 14n dated February 7, 2003. The highest level of protection is "A" - it must have blank passports, identity cards, forms of bearer securities, etc.

Level "B" have special and excise stamps, registered and order securities, etc.

Level "B" - these are travel and lottery tickets, prescription forms, product labels, etc.

Naturally, any order or resolution is, first of all, textual information that is quite difficult to perceive. Therefore, I formulated the task for myself simply - to translate the text of the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. 14n into a tabular form. As a result, I got four tables.

How tables work

Now, as an experiment, based on the tables obtained, we can check any product for compliance with its security level indicated on it. The algorithm of our actions is somewhat reminiscent of checking Sportloto tickets, when the players made a template with lucky numbers that fell out. Take, for example, federal special and excise stamps for labeling alcoholic products produced in Russia and abroad, respectively. Their appearance is shown in Fig. 4 in paragraph 6. Stamps have a level of protection "B".

General requirements for security printing products

Rice. 3. From the test table it can be seen that the stamps, according to the general requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. 14n, correspond to the level of protection "B"

Requirements for products with protection level "B"

Rice. 4. From the test table it can be seen that the brands according to the private requirements of the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia No. 14n correspond to level "B", therefore, FSUE "Goznak" can be congratulated on passing the test for compliance with the requirements of the Ministry of Finance of Russia

Now, armed with a special magnifying glass and test devices, we check the compliance of the brands with the requirements for protection level “B” (Fig. 3 and 4).
