Abstract
A tape material ( ) comprising a support layer ( ) and a thin-layer magnetic material ( ), which is placed onto the support layer ( ), serves as a security material. In a surveillance zone the thin-layer magnetic material ( ) emits a characteristic signal for the electronic surveillance of articles. The aim is to provide a tape material which allows for simple application of thin-layer materials on any support materials. To this end a transfer layer ( ), which can be melted by pressure and/or heat, is provided for on the thin-layer material ( ), and the adhesion between the support layer ( ) and the thin-layer material ( ) is less than the adhesion between the thin-layer material ( ) and the transfer layer ( ). Consequently, a hot-pressing die ( ) may be utilized to transfer a desired area of the thin-layer material ( ), via the transfer layer ( ), onto the article ( ) or another support layer ( ).
