Abstract

A substantially flat paper article or product is marked by applying thereto a luminophore. In order for the thus produced markings to remain discernible even if the paper article constitutes a component or part in a collation or composite of such paper articles, the markings are applied to at least one location of a marginal region including the contiguous edge of the paper article. This marking method can be used to monitor the completeness of an end product manufactured by collating a plurality of different paper articles.
