The invention relates to a packaging material with a forgery-proof
security feature, whereby the security feature comprises a coded image
arrangement which is provided on the packaging material and which reveals
an image or image sequence by superimposing a related decoder element.
The invention is characterized in that the decoder element is a
transparent or translucent, film-type object with a line or column-type
pattern made up of lines or columns lined up parallel to each other
specific distances apart, and the image arrangement on the packaging
material contains a plurality of coded individual images that mix into
each other, whereby the coded individual image is an arrangement of
strip-shaped image elements that are spaced apart and are co-ordinated in
terms of orientation and distance from each other with respect to the
line or column pattern of the decoder element, such that by overlapping
the image arrangement and the decoder element and lateral displacement of
the decoder element over the image arrangement, an image sequence that to
the human eye appears to be moving is obtained and, depending on the
position of the decoder element the coded individual images are covered
or are visible by means of the window regions lying between the lines or
columns and, in combination with the line or column-type pattern of the
decoder element, fit together to make up recognizable images.
