A method for producing a security feature of a value or security product, and method of manufacturing such a product

For the inexpensive production of a particularly forgery and verfalschungssichereren security feature 160 of a value or security product 600 a method is proposed. The security feature 160 is formed by at least a pattern 150th The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a provided with a colorant intermediate support 200, wherein the colorant in each case contains at least one dye and / or at least one pigment-containing particles and a binder composed of a polymer; (B) each transmitting at least a portion of the colorant from the intermediate support 200 onto a surface 310 of a polymer layer 300 to form a coloring agent layer 100 on the respective polymeric layer 300, wherein the polymer layer 300 is made in each case at least one material selected from a group comprising polycarbonate and polyethylene terephthalate; and (c) locally applying energy at least in a portion of the colorant layer 100, to release the at least one dye and / or the at least one pigment from the particles, so that the pattern is formed 150 on the respective polymer layer 300th
