Abstract

The invention relates to an external package, particularly one having a conductive coating and in whose surrounding area an RFID tag is placed. The conductive surface of the electrically conductive layer is interrupted by a structure.

Description

External package capable of being radio-tagged The invention relates to an external package, particularly one enclosing a product with a radio tag, such as an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) tag, and/or in whose proximity there is such a tag.

Groceries, cigarettes, tobacco in general, chewing gum, chocolates and much more are typically packaged in foils which keep the content fresh. The foils are often made of paper or another support (such as a polymer film) onto which a thin electrically conductive layer, normally a metal layer, typically aluminum, has been put. In this case, the thin metal layer has quite a few effects; among other things it has a shiny appearance, forms a barrier layer for oxygen and moisture, reflects the radiation of heat and has a correspondingly insulating character.

A drawback of this external package with an electrically conductive layer when using RFID tags, particularly EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags and EAS
(Electronic Article Surveillance) tags, as is currently being planned on a grand scale, is that the electrically conductive layer of the external package produces an electrically conductive area which shields electromagnetic waves undesirably, in similar fashion to in what is known as a Faraday cage, or reflects them and hence makes it difficult or even impossible to use radio tags and/or miscellaneous electric components on the product and/or on the external package.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an external package having a support and an electrically conductive layer which does not prevent the use of tags in the surroundings of the external package.
This object is achieved by the subject matter of the independent and dependent claims, the description and the figures.

The invention relates to an external package for a product having an electric component, comprising at least one support and an electrically conductive layer, where the electrically conductive layer has a structure and/or a coating which reduces the shielding produced by its conductive area in the surroundings of the external package such that the use of an electric component which delivers or receives information externally through the external package and/or whose power supply is fed through the external package is not adversely affected or is adversely affected only to an extent such that the component is still operable.

In this context, the term "in the surroundings" covers the following:
Firstly a tag which is arranged directly on the product and/or within the external package.
Secondly a tag which is in proximity to the external package.

The shielding by the external package means that disturbances in the case of conventional tags within and/or directly on the external packages and also in the case of tags which are outside the external package, but in proximity thereto, normally arise as a result of the electromagnetic waves being reflected by the metal, for example. In this context, the term "in the surroundings" or "close" means "in the region of the typical reading range of the tags", for example typically up to approximately 70 cm at 13.56 MHz, and in the case of UHF (Ultra High Frequency - 850 -950 MHz) this may be up to approximately 2 m, and in the GHz range even more still (several meters).
The term "that the component is still operable" means the shielding which is still tolerable and may not indicate a specific value, since this is dependent on many factors such as transmission power, transmission frequency and/or the type of component, such as the type of radio tag. Shielding which is no longer tolerable is a reduction in the reading distance by half (e.g. from 70 cm to 35 cm), for example, and/or exists when any information is shielded down to below the noise limit and/or the power supply for a radio frequency tag is reduced to below the minimum operating voltage.

A shielding-reducing coating for the conductive layer of the external package may be used as an alternative to the structure and/or in addition to it and preferably has a high electrical impedance (e.g.
> 10'5 Ohm m) or is insulating.

By way of example, the visually metallic effect can be achieved merely by very thin metal layers (of a few 10 nm, which have very poor electrical conductivity on account of the small layer thickness and/or because they have a very high level of interruption owing to their production process, e.g. vapor deposition, sputtering), which can then be brought into line with the further requirements of the external package using various lacquer layers.

It is equally possible to put an image on the external package, possibly even over the structure.

The structure in the conductive layer changes the shielding and/or reflection effects such that induced, shielding and/or reflecting currents in the conductive layer (e.g. as a result of eddy currents) are reduced or even prevented. As a result, the electromagnetic radiation then penetrates the external package and/or it is possible for coupling, particularly inductive, capacitive, near-field or far-field coupling, to take place. It is then possible to transmit electric power and/or information in the surroundings of the external package, even in the region of the transmission powers of RFID tags.

The transmission powers are usually stipulated by laws.
An overview of the transmission powers which can be used for RFID applications is given in (Klaus Finkenzeller, "RFID-Handbuch" [RFID manual], 2nd edition, Hauser Verlag Munich, 2000, ISBN
3-446-21278-7), for example. Accordingly, the limit value for the carrier power for 13.56 MHz applications in Germany is 68.5 dB A at a distance of 3 m and 13.5 dB A at a distance of 30 m from the transmitter, with the magnetic H field for the radio installation being measured. The power limits vary for different frequencies and for different countries.

The structure interrupts the electrically conductive area of the electrically conductive layer once or a plurality of times, with the interruption preferably dividing at least the area above a coil of the electric component, for example, into two halves, for example.
The structure disturbs the shielding most effectively when it is arranged opposite and in the center of a coil of the electric component.

By way of example, the structure is a simple recess which completely or partly passes through the conductive area of the electrically conductive layer.
The shape of the recesses is irrelevant, only the size and shape of the remaining conductive regions is important, which need to be designed such that eddy currents are prevented.

The structure divides the conductive area of the electrically conductive layer into at least two smaller conductive areas. The structure can also divide the = CA 02577901 2007-02-22 conductive area of the electrically conductive layer into many small conductive areas, however. By way of example, the structure comprises at least two parallel and/or at least two nonparallel recesses. In this case, what is important is not the shape of the recesses but rather the size and shape of the remaining conductive area (with the same area, for example, an open circle has hardly any effect but a closed circle has a very pronounced shielding effect), and at a given frequency a smaller area produces little shielding but a larger scale produces greater shielding.

The external package can be produced by putting an electrically conductive layer onto a support, for example paper or foil, and then patterning it in a subsequent work step. The structure is preferably made using simple means and/or minimal actions.

By way of example, what is known as dry phase patterning is particularly advantageous (for example see the publication by Pira International Copyr. 2002, "RFID in Packaging", Dr. Peter Harrp, "Pira on printing", ISBN 1858029457; PAELLA Project ACREO, dry phase patterning method; Antenna for EAS RFID p.49 fig.6.2), since this uses no wet-chemical methods.
Advantageously, the conductive layer of the external package is patterned in large volumes and/or inexpensively by a dry patterning method, for example using a patterned scratching method (which is also suitable for roll-to-roll).

It is naturally also possible to use any other patterning direct or indirect, additive or subtractive methods, however, depending on the type of external package (e.g. patterned vapor deposition, printing with a protective lacquer and a subsequent wet or dry etching method).

= - 6 -= For metals, the structure can be made by wet chemical means using etching processes, by dry process steps such as dry etching, cutting and/or punching processes and/or by dry patterning using impression, the impressed points being removed with a knife and/or being able to be filled with another material.
Conversely, it is also possible to put an already patterned electrically conductive layer onto the support, however, as is possible by means of printing (e.g. conductive pastes, conductive silver, organically based materials) or bonding/lamination (e.g. aluminum, copper, silver), for example. The electrically conductive layer can also be put on in patterned form by vapor deposition and/or sputtering. Other methods are lamination, electroplating, spraying, dunking, blade coating and/or printing.

In this case, the electrically conductive layer is patterned/interrupted such that, although the electric power is interrupted, the external package and particularly the foil used as support are patterned as an entire still mechanical layer or a portion thereof, and the support is essentially retained. It is not even necessary to cut through the electrically conductive area completely, and only the conductive connection within the area is interrupted during patterning.

The depth of the recess in the structure matches the thickness of the external package's electrically conductive layer. It can make up the entire thickness of the layer or just a portion of the thickness so long as it is ensured that the structure interrupts the conductive contact within the conductive area and/or the resistance within the conductive area is so high that the shielding produced by the conductive area does not adversely affect the use of radio tags.

A

_ 7 -=
The width of the structure is arbitrary so long as it interrupts the conductive area. By way of example, the width of the structure is typically a few 10 - 500 m.
The minimum width is dependent only on the process used (in order to guarantee secure electrical interruption).
The structure does not just remove and/or expel material from the electrically conductive layer, for example, but rather it is also possible to work and/or impress another, for example insulating, material into the electrically conductive layer, so that shielding within the external package is prevented to a sufficient extent. The use of additionally introduced material may turn out to be advantageous particularly for applications in which the freshness preservation effect of the external package, particularly also on the barrier properties of the external package toward air (oxygen and/or moisture), is in the foreground.

The external package can, but does not have to, be visually shaped by the structure, it may also comprise any other layers, both for visual and for functional purposes, with graphical forms of the external package being able to be produced by the structure or supported by the structure or else being put on the external package without disturbance by the structure.

The size of the remaining continuously conductive areas is dependent on the frequency used and on the size of the antennas used. In this context, when inductive coupling is used the size of the antennas used is crucial and when electromagnetic waves are used the frequency is crucial. One practicality found is that for general prevention of shielding the following is true: the smaller the individual areas the better. A
preferred maximum size for the still remaining conducting area of the electrically conductive layer for inductive coupling is taken to be approximately half the area of the transmission antenna, and for larger areas the degree of shielding increases "rapidly", as can be seen from figure 7 using a real measurement.

The areas patterned in this manner may take any form (image, logo and/or writing) so long as it is ensured that overall no shielding character arises. The structure can attain a wide variety of visual effects, in particular it is also able to be used for marketing purposes, or for brand protection, or theft prevention or other security features. As an alternative or in addition, the structure may also have other technical functional electrical effects, for example antennas for RFID tags can be produced by the structure.
In this context, in accordance with one advantageous refinement, the structure and/or a portion thereof forms an electric component, for example when it is in the form of an antenna (e.g. coil form or interrupted bar form) for RFID tags and/or other radio tags. In this context, the tag is also situated directly on the portion of the external package with the structure, for example.

It is naturally also possible to produce other electric components using the structure, such as capacitors. For this, however, conductive layers are required on both sides of the external package's support. Similarly, it is also possible to produce resistive tracks by means of a suitable form for the conductor tracks.

By way of example, one portion (normally the largest portion) of the overall external package is patterned and altered using methods as discussed, so that it no longer shields and/or reflects electromagnetic radiation, and at least one other portion of the external package is patterned and altered such that this structure can be used as an antenna for an RFID
tag or radio tag or for other purposes, for example.

= CA 02577901 2007-02-22 The typically used external packages for groceries, cigarettes, tobacco in general, chewing gum, chocolates, butter, margarine, cheese, etc. comprise paper or another support, for example including a polymer film (PET, PES, PEN, polyimide, etc.), as the support material with an electrically conductive layer laminated thereon. The possible materials for producing the electrically conductive layer include all metals (e.g. aluminum, copper, silver, gold, chromium, titanium, tin, zinc, iron, etc. and any alloys), conductive pastes (e.g. conductive silver, CarbonBlack (which are pastes with graphite/carbon black)), conductive organically based materials (e.g.
polyaniline, Pedot/Pss, or the like) or organometallic systems (e.g. inks with dissolved metal compounds) or combinations thereof.

The thickness of the support varies and is typically 20-100 g/mA2 in the case of paper, with 30-50 g/mz being usual, for example. In the case of polymer films, it is possible to use any thicknesses, depending on the type of external package, with 10-50 m (e.g. PET, PPS or similar materials) being typical, for example. The thickness of the conductive laminated layer is 3 to 50 m, preferably 5-15 m (e.g. for aluminum-laminated paper for cigarette packages, for example) . This may naturally also vary for the other materials or methods mentioned. It is naturally also possible to put on further layers apart from those mentioned, e.g. a protective lacquer to prevent scratching or as a seal, and also, naturally, colored layers for visual misprinting or else further layers for other purposes.

In this case, particularly the radio tags are in the foreground as the electric component. Examples of these are RFID tags, particularly EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags and/or EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) tags. These tags are based on nationally or = ' internationally released frequency bands for signal transmission, these typically being: 125-135 kHz, 13.56 MHz, 860-950 MHz or 2.45 GHz. In some cases, other frequency bands may also be used, such as approximately 6-8 MHz for theft prevention tags.

It is naturally also possible to produce other fields of use, e.g. use of remote controls (typically in the region of approximately 20 - 60 MHz), mobile radio (850 - 2000 MHz) and radio (LW, SW, VHF or comparable) or satellite radio. It is also possible to design external packaging such that it does not need to be removed in microwave ovens (e.g. for heating meals).

The patterning may also be made such that certain frequency ranges and/or directions of polarization are passed and others are shielded or reflected, e.g. using the size and shape of the conductive areas.

The electric component may also comprise at least one functional layer made of organically based material and/or may generally be associated with polymer electronics or with organic electronics.

The patterned external package can then be fed back into the conventional packaging process.

The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments:
Figure 1 schematically shows a conductive area in which a structure interrupts the electrically conductive connection within the area.

Figure 2 shows the same patterned conductive area, with the dimensions of the structure being able to be seen.

= CA 02577901 2007-02-22 .

Figures 3 and 4 show patterned electrically conductive components in relation to the position of the structure.

Figure 5 shows an example of a structure, and Figure 6 finally shows an external package with the position shown for the inner coil and on the outside a corresponding coil which corresponds to the coil shown on the inside.
Figure 7 shows a real measurement for the shielding effect of a conductive layer which is pushed between a transmitter and a receiver antenna.

Figure 1 shows an external package 1 with a structure 2 on it, it being clearly visible that the structure 2 does not go right through, but extends over more than half of the external package. A structure 2 which goes right through is naturally also covered by the invention.

Figure 2 shows the external package 1 in a perspective view on which it is possible to see the support 13 and the electrically conductive layer 14 with the structure 2.

The position of the structure 2 and its dimensions can be seen in figure 2. The width 4 of the structure 2 can be chosen freely so long as the electrical conductivity is interrupted by the width 4 of this structure 2. The same applies to the depth 3 of the structure 2 (the depth may also cover the entire conductive layer, for security reasons even right into the support material).
Only the length 5 of the structure 2 is related to the coil of the electric component and/or of the radio tag (not shown in figure 2) such that it measures at least half of the coil.

' Figure 3 shows the external package 1 with a structure 2 which does not cover the entire length of the electrically conductive area, but the entire length of the antenna 12 (the antenna shown here, merely by way of example and schematically, is a coil for inductive coupling). The form of the antenna may be quite different, depending on the field of use; e.g. in the form of a dipole.

Figure 4 shows a similar design to that in figure 3 with the difference that in this case the structure 2 extends only asfar as at least half of the extent of the coil 12. In both cases, shielding by the electrically conductive layer of the external package is prevented to such an extent that the use of radio tags is appropriate, that is to say the component is still operable.

Figure 5 shows an example of a structure which can be put onto the electrically conductive layer of the external package 1 over a large area. It is possible to see a diamond-shaped structure with a large number of parallel and a large number of nonparallel recesses 7 in which the electrically conductive area 6 of the electrically conductive layer of the external package 1 is divided into a large number of small areas.
Shielding, which would sensitively disturb the use of radio tags, is effectively prevented by this means because small conductive areas bring about no disturbances in the radio link between the radio tag and the reader. Particularly if the position of the coil within the external package is not clear, it makes sense to put on a large-area structure, as shown here, because the most effective prevention of shielding is achieved by a recess in the electrically conductive area opposite the coil of the electric component, said coil always being automatically covered too with application over a large area.

Figure 6 shows the shielding area (i.e. the external package) in the form of a packet 10. An external transmission antenna 8 is opposite the receiver antenna 11 which is in the packet. On the basis of the prior art, the electromagnetic radiation between the transmission antenna 8 and the receiver antenna 11 is shielded by the packet between them, which has a conductive area in or on it, so that no radio link is set up. However, the structure 9 based on the invention interrupts the conductive area, and it is therefore possible to set up radio contact between the transmitter 8 and the receiver 11. The same naturally also applies if the receiver antenna 11 is not "inside"
the packet but rather on and outside the external package but in its surroundings.

The structure 9 shown is just one example and, on the basis of the invention, the structure may naturally take all possible forms, e.g. including the form shown in figure 5.

Figure 7 shows a measurement of the shielding effect of a conductive layer. Between the transmission antenna 8 and the reception antenna 11, a conductive layer, namely the external package layer 1, is pushed from the left to the right in the direction of the arrow 18. The graph at the top now shows the induced voltage measured at 11 as a function of the overlap by the conductive layer 1. It can clearly be seen that up to an approximately 1/3 overlap the induced voltage remains constant, that is to say there is no shielding effect.
With a larger overlap, a rapid drop in the induced voltage then occurs, that is to say that a severe shielding effect occurs. With a complete overlap, it is almost impossible to measure any induced voltage (essentially noise), which indicates a largely full shielding effect. A similar response is also obtained when the transmitter and receiver antennas are situated /

on one side of the conductive foil and the conductive foil is passed very close to one of the antennas.

The possibly of reducing the shielding by electrically conductive external packages, disclosed here for the first time, allows very simple means and minimum intervention to be used to reduce the unwanted shielding effect of conductive areas to magnetic and electromagnetic fields significantly. It is therefore possible to accommodate radio tags, for example, within or in the surroundings of metallized packages without adversely affecting their operability.

The already publicized intention of many companies to put RFID tags on a large number of products in future is also made possible here for products which are packed in metal foils, metallized and/or metal-laminated paper or foil and/or composite materials which contain metal layers.
