	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Restatement of Previously Issued Consolidated Financial Statements
	We are restating herein our previously issued consolidated financial statements and the related disclosures for the years ended December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 and unaudited interim financial information for each of the quarters in the year ended December 30, 2012 and for the first three quarters in the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 (the "Restated Periods").
	The restatement is the result of our corrections for the effect of financial statement errors attributable to the accounting for the future extension of a sales-type lease arrangement in Spain during the second quarter ended June 26, 2011 (“Spain transaction”). The sale of the underlying customer receivables to a financial institution qualified as a legal sale and we recognized the proceeds net of amounts deferred for future deliverables of $17.4 million in other operating income in the second quarter ended June 26, 2011. During the review of the fourth quarter of 2013, we discovered that the 2011 extension arrangement represented the execution of forward starting leases. The recognition of a lease receivable is not permitted until such time as the commencement of a lease or the sale of an unrecognized financial asset (i.e. a right to future income). Accordingly, we reversed the other operating income recognized in fiscal 2011 related to this transaction and recorded other necessary adjustments in the interim and annual periods from the second quarter ended June 26, 2011 through the third quarter ended September 29, 2013.
	The aggregate impacts of correcting the errors relating to the Spain transaction as of and for the years ended December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 were as follows:
	(amounts in millions)		Restatement Adjustments to Previously Reported Income Statement - Income/(Expense)
	For the Years ended		30-Dec-12				25-Dec-11
	Net revenues		$	(1.6	)		$	(5.6	)
	Cost of revenues		0.1				0.9
	Other operating income		—				(17.4		)
	Operating income		(1.5		)		(22.1		)
	Interest expense		(1.9		)		(1.0		)
	Income taxes expense		1				6.9
	Net loss		(2.4		)		(16.2		)
			Restatement Adjustments to Previously Reported Balance Sheet - Increase/(Decrease)
	(amounts in millions)		30-Dec-12				25-Dec-11
	Deferred income taxes		$	7.6			$	6.5
	Other assets		1				1
	Unearned revenues		(0.6		)		(1.1		)
	Other current liabilities		—				0.1
	Financing liability		31.6				29.3
	Other long-term liabilities		(4.6		)		(5.6		)
	The correction of the Spain transaction errors in the statement of cash flows for the year ended December 25, 2011 results in a decrease of $30.3 million in cash flows from operating activities and an increase of $31.4 million in cash provided by financing activities, with the remainder as an adjustment to the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents.
	We assessed the impact of these errors, including the impact of the previously disclosed out-of-period adjustments on our prior interim and annual financial statements and concluded that the combined impact of these errors was material to these financial statements. Consequently, we have restated the prior period financial statements identified above. All amounts in our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report affected by the restatement adjustments reflect such amounts as restated.
	In addition to the Spain transaction resulting in the restatement of our previously issued consolidated financial statements, we also recorded certain other immaterial errors affecting the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 that we included in our restatement adjustments:
	•	Income tax adjustments - We corrected out of period income tax adjustments which had the combined effect of increasing net loss and decreasing total assets in fiscal 2011 by $0.2 million and decreasing net loss and retained earnings in fiscal 2012 by $0.2 million.
	•	Balance sheet reclassifications - We recorded balance sheet classification adjustments which had the combined effect of decreasing total current liabilities by $6.8 million in fiscal 2012, increasing other long-term liabilities by $5.2 million, increasing accrued pension by $2.4 million, decreasing accumulated other comprehensive income by $1.7 million and decreasing total assets by $0.9 million. The largest single contributor to these adjustments was a correction of the gross-up of balance sheet accounts as of December 30, 2012 related to a transaction that should have been recorded during the first quarter of 2013. The impact of this adjustment was a decrease in accounts receivable and unearned revenues of $5.6 million and a decrease in accounts payable and other current assets of $4.9 million.
	•	Other out of period adjustments - We recorded certain other out of period errors which were not individually material to the financial statements which had the combined effect in fiscal 2011 of increasing net loss by $0.6 million. In fiscal 2012, these adjustments had the combined effect of decreasing net loss by $1.6 million, increasing total assets by $1.6 million, increasing total current liabilities by $1.1 million and increasing long-term liabilities by $4.3 million. The cumulative impact of these adjustments in prior periods resulted in an adjustment to reduce the retained earnings beginning balance by $5.4 million in fiscal 2012. The largest single contributor to these adjustments was a correction of our deferred maintenance balances in certain European countries which increased unearned revenues by $2.2 million and increased other long-term liabilities by $4.3 million as of December 30, 2012. The impacts of this adjustment were decreases in net loss of $0.5 million and $47 thousand in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively.
	The restatement adjustments related to the years prior to fiscal 2011 are reflected as an adjustment to the beginning retained earnings for fiscal 2011. The cumulative impact of these adjusting entries decreased retained earnings by $5.2 million, net of tax, as of the beginning of fiscal 2011.
	The effect of the restatement on previously issued annual financial information as of and for the years ended December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 is set forth in this footnote. The effect of the restatement on the previously filed interim financial information is set forth in Note 20.

Other Income
In December of 2011, we identified errors in our financial statements resulting from improper and fraudulent activities of a certain former employee of our Canada sales subsidiary as part of the transition of our Canadian operations into our shared service environment in North America. In the period from 2005 through the fourth quarter of 2011, the then Controller of our Canadian operations was able to misappropriate cash through various schemes. The defalcation of cash was concealed by overriding internal controls at the subsidiary which had the effect of misstating certain accounts including cash, accounts receivable, and inventories as well as income taxes and non-income taxes payable and operating expenses.
The total cumulative gross financial statement impact of the improper and fraudulent activities was approximately $5.2 million and impacted fiscal years 2005 through 2011 of which $1.1 million was recovered by us from the perpetrator during the fourth quarter of 2011, resulting in a net cumulative financial statement impact of $4.1 million. The fiscal year 2011 financial statement impact was $0.2 million income due to the recovery of $1.1 million offset by expense of $0.9 million. We incurred additional expenses related to the improper and fraudulent activities of $0.7 million during 2012. The financial statement impacts of the improper and fraudulent Canadian activities have been included in other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. We filed a claim during the second quarter of 2012 with our insurance provider for the unrecovered amount of the loss. On October 10, 2012, we received compensation of $4.7 million for the financial impact of the fraudulent Canadian activities from our insurance provider.
Principles of Consolidation
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Checkpoint Systems, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (Company). All inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year
Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending the last Sunday of December. References to 2013 and 2011 are for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2013 and December 25, 2011, respectively; while references to 2012 are for the 53 weeks ended December 30, 2012.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications and retrospective adjustments have been made to prior period information to conform to the current period presentation. In order to conform to the current period presentation, the As Restated amounts in this Annual Report include a balance sheet reclassification of internal-use software from property, plant and equipment to other intangibles and also include a statement of cash flows reclassification of amortization of debt issuance costs from depreciation and amortization.
Discontinued Operations
We evaluate our businesses and product lines periodically for their strategic fit within our operations. In December 2011, we began actively marketing our Banking Security Systems Integration business unit and we completed its sale in October 2012. In December 2012, our U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business met held for sale reporting criteria. In connection with our decisions to sell these businesses, for all periods presented, the operating results associated with these businesses have been reclassified into earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets and liabilities associated with the U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business were adjusted to fair value, less costs to sell, and reclassified into assets of discontinued operations, net of tax and liabilities of discontinued operations, net of tax, as appropriate, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In April 2013, we completed the sale of our U.S and Canada based CheckView® business unit. Refer to Note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Assets Held For Sale
As a result of our restructuring plans, certain long-lived assets of our manufacturing facilities met held for sale criteria during the second quarter ended June 24, 2012 and $3.7 million of property, plant, and equipment, net was reclassified into other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the third quarter ended September 23, 2012, these long-lived assets of our manufacturing facilities were sold, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.8 million that was recognized in other exit costs within restructuring expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Sale of Subsidiary
On November 15, 2012, we sold our Suzhou, China subsidiary, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.7 million that was recognized in other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Non-controlling Interests
On May 16, 2011, Checkpoint Holland Holding B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 51% of the outstanding voting shares of Shore to Shore PVT Ltd. (Sri Lanka) in exchange for $1.7 million in cash.
In January 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our 51% interest in Sri Lanka to the unrelated party holding the non-controlling interest. On June 24, 2013, we completed the sale of our 51% interest for which we received cash proceeds of $0.2 million (net of a stamp duty). The gain on sale of $0.2 million is recorded within other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Subsequent Events
We perform a review of subsequent events in connection with the preparation of our financial statements. The accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before our financial statements are issued or available to be issued are reflected where appropriate or required in our financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, income-producing instruments or used to pay down debt. Cash equivalents include commercial paper and other securities with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Book value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable values. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on specific facts and circumstances surrounding individual customers as well as our historical experience. Provisions for the losses on receivables are charged to income to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover losses. Receivables are charged off against the reserve when they are deemed uncollectible. From time to time, we sell customer related receivables to third party financial institutions and evaluate these transactions to determine if they meet the criteria for sale accounting treatment. If it is determined that the criteria for sale treatment is met, the receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and earnings are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it is determined that the criteria for sale accounting treatment are not met, the receivables remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the transaction is treated as a secured financing.
Cash proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable related to sales-type leases with customers to third party financial institutions totaled $29.3 million, $23.4 million, and $84.8 million for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011, respectively. Proceeds from the initial sale of the accounts receivables are used to fund operations. This transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting treatment. We have presented the earnings of $0.4 million and $0.2 million recognized on the sale of the receivables separately in other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 25, 2011, respectively. There was no comparable earnings for the year ended December 30, 2012.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. A provision is made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to its net realizable value.
Revenue Equipment on Operating Lease
The cost of the equipment leased to customers under operating leases is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the length of the contract or estimated useful life of the asset, which is usually between three and five years.
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Additions, improvements, and major renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Assets subject to capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or length of the contract. Buildings, equipment rented to customers, and leased equipment on capitalized leases use the following estimated useful lives of fifteen to thirty years, three to five years, and five years, respectively. Machinery and equipment estimated useful lives range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvement useful lives are the lesser of the minimum lease term or the useful life of the item. The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss on disposition is included in income.
We review our property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment, based on expected future undiscounted cash flows, exists, then the loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the impairment is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value.
Internal-Use Software
Included in intangible assets is the capitalized cost of internal-use software. We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and amortize these costs over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to seven years. Costs incurred related to design or maintenance of internal-use software is expensed as incurred.
During 2009, we announced that we were in the initial stages of implementing a company-wide ERP system to handle the business and finance processes within our operations and corporate functions. As of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, $11.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively, were recorded in intangibles related to portions of the ERP system that were placed in service. In the fourth quarter of 2013, through the budgeting process, working capital prioritization activities, and other strategic direction reviews, it was determined that our European ERP system implementation was no longer a strategic priority for 2014 through 2016. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2013, we recorded an impairment of the $4.7 million in internal-use software related to the European ERP system implementation. The impairment charge was recorded in asset impairment expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We plan to implement our South China ALS ERP system by the end of 2016.
Goodwill
Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of fiscal month end October of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and anticipated future cash flows. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests. Reporting units are primarily determined as the geographic areas comprising our business segments, except in situations when aggregation of the reporting units is appropriate. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process when we conclude a qualitative analysis is not sufficient. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the second step of the process involves a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The nonrecurring fair value measurement of goodwill is developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). We considered whether applying a purely qualitative assessment of goodwill would be sufficient (i.e. a qualitative assessment without quantitative support and bypassing Step 1). Due to an impairment resulting from our most recent goodwill impairment test, we decided to proceed to Step 1 for all reporting units.
The fair value of our reporting units is dependent upon our estimate of future discounted cash flows and other factors. Our estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from our market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at the date of evaluation. The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our weighted average cost of capital that we use to determine our discount rate and through our stock price that we use to determine our market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the shares outstanding on the assessment date by the average market price of our common stock over a 30-day period before each assessment date. We use this 30-day duration to consider inherent market fluctuations that may affect any individual closing price. We believe that our market capitalization alone does not fully capture the fair value of our business as a whole, or the substantial value that an acquirer would obtain from its ability to obtain control of our business. As such, in determining fair value, we add a control premium to our market capitalization. To estimate the control premium, we considered our unique competitive advantages that would likely provide synergies to a market participant. In addition, we considered external market factors which we believe contributed to the decline and volatility in our stock price that did not reflect our underlying fair value. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Intangibles
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost and are not amortized, but are subject to tests for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
Definite-lived intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives (or legal lives if shorter). We review our other intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
If it is determined that an impairment, based on expected future cash flows, exists, then the loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the impairment is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over the fair value of the asset. The fair value represents expected future cash flows from the use of the assets, discounted at the rate used to evaluate potential investments. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Assets
Included in other assets are $3.5 million and $6.0 million of net long-term customer-based receivables at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. The net deferred financing costs at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The financing cost amortization expense was $2.2 million, $2.3 million, and $1.1 million, for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.
We enter into contracts to sell our products and services, and, while the majority of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, there are agreements that contain multiple elements or non-standard terms and conditions. As a result, significant contract interpretation is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and, if so, how the selling price should be allocated among the elements and when to recognize revenue for each element.
For arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate total arrangement consideration to all deliverables based on their relative selling price using a specific hierarchy and recognize revenue when each element’s revenue recognition criteria are met. The hierarchy is as follows: vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) or best estimate of selling price (“BESP”). VSOE of fair value for each element is established based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. We recognize revenue when installation is complete or other post-shipment obligations have been satisfied. Unearned revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the service period.
Products leased to customers under sales-type leases are accounted for as the equivalent of a sale. The present value of such lease revenues is recorded as net revenues, and the related cost of the products is charged to cost of revenues. The deferred finance charges applicable to these leases are recognized over the terms of the leases. Rental revenue from products under operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease. Installation revenue from SMS EAS products is recognized when the systems are installed. Service revenue is recognized, for service contracts, on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, and, for non-contract work, as services are performed.
Revenues from software license agreements are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant vendor obligations are remaining to be fulfilled, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Revenue from software contracts for both licenses and professional services that require significant production, modification, customization, or implementation are recognized together using the percentage of completion method based upon the ratio of labor incurred to total estimated labor to complete each contract. In instances where there is a term license combined with services, revenue is recognized ratably over the term.
We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer incentive offerings, including volume-based incentives and rebates. The accrual for these incentives and rebates, which are included in the Other Accrued Expenses section of our Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $11.1 million and $15.2 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. We record revenues net of an allowance for estimated return activities and pricing adjustments. Return activity was immaterial to revenue and results of operations for all periods presented.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
Shipping and handling fees charged to our customers are accounted for in net revenues and shipping and handling costs in cost of revenues.
Cost of Revenues
The principal elements of cost of revenues are product cost, field service and installation cost, freight, and product royalties paid to third parties.
Warranty Reserves
We provide product warranties for our various products. These warranties vary in length depending on product and geographical region. We establish our warranty reserves based on historical data of warranty transactions.
The following table sets forth the movement in the warranty reserve which is located in the Other Accrued Expenses section of our Consolidated Balance Sheet:
(amounts in thousands)	December 29, 2013			December 30, 2012
Balance at beginning of year	$	3,995		$	5,857
Accruals for warranties issued	4,665			5,205
Settlements made	(4,148		)	(5,429		)
Adjustment for discontinued operations	—			(1,668		)
Foreign currency translation adjustment	9			30
Balance at end of period	$	4,521		$	3,995
Royalty Expense
Royalty expenses related to security products approximated $0.6 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. These expenses are included as part of cost of revenues.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of development work associated with our existing and potential products and processes. Our research and development expenses relate primarily to payroll costs for engineering personnel, costs associated with various projects, including testing, developing prototypes and related expenses.
Stock Options
We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest. Stock compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value all stock options. The table below presents the weighted average expected life in years. The expected life computation is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior. Volatility is determined using changes in historical stock prices. The interest rate for periods within the expected life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
The fair value of share-based payment units was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values as follows:
Year Ended	29-Dec-13			30-Dec-12				25-Dec-11
Weighted-average fair value of grants	$	5.46		$	4.38			$	9.74
Valuation assumptions:
Expected dividend yield	0		%	0		%		0		%
Expected volatility	50.79		%	52.08		%		49.91		%
Expected life (in years)	5.08			5.06				4.98
Risk-free interest rate	0.835		%	0.75		%		2.138		%
Refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted statutory tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Changes in enacted tax rates are reflected in the tax provision as they occur. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
We utilize a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (tax contingencies). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  We include interest and penalties related to our tax contingencies in income tax expense.
Sales and Value Added Taxes Collected from Customers
Sales and value added taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenues. The obligation is included in other current liabilities until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
Our balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs, and expenses of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-to-date average rate of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on certain long-term inter-company transactions are excluded from the net earnings (loss) and accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity. All other foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net earnings (loss) on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Accounting for Hedging Activities
We enter into certain foreign exchange forward contracts in order to hedge anticipated rate fluctuations in Western Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia. Transaction gains or losses resulting from these contracts are recognized at the end of each reporting period. We use the fair value method of accounting, recording realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts. These gains and losses are included in other gain (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We enter into various foreign currency contracts to reduce our exposure to forecasted Euro-denominated inter-company revenues. These cash flow hedging instruments are marked to market and the changes are recorded in other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are recognized in cost of goods sold as the inventory is sold to external parties. Any hedge ineffectiveness is charged to other gain (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We enter, on occasion, into interest rate swaps to reduce the risk of significant interest rate increases in connection with floating rate debt. This cash flow hedging instrument is marked to market and the changes are recorded in other comprehensive income. Any hedge ineffectiveness is charged to interest expense. Refer to Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, for the year ended December 29, 2013 were as follows:
(amounts in thousands)	Pension Plan			Changes in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative hedges				Foreign currency translation adjustment			Total accumulated other comprehensive income

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment," (ASU 2012-02). ASU 2012-02 amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment by allowing an entity to perform a qualitative impairment assessment before proceeding to the two-step impairment test. If the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. In addition, the ASU does not amend the requirement to test these assets for impairment between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in interim periods. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which for us was December 31, 2012, the first day of our 2013 fiscal year. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-04, "Technical Corrections and Improvements," (ASU 2012-04). ASU 2012-04 amends current guidance by clarifying the FASB Accountings Standards Codification (Codification), correcting unintended application of guidance, or making minor improvements to the Codification. These amendments are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments included in ASU 2012-04 intend to make the Codification easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments in ASU 2012-04 that will not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance were effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which for us was December 31, 2012, the first day of our 2013 fiscal year. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income," (ASU 2013-12) which requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, entities are required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. This ASU is effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which for us was December 31, 2012, the first day of our 2013 fiscal year. Any required changes in presentation requirements and disclosures have been included in our Consolidated Financial Statements beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, “Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes,” (ASU 2013-10). The update permits the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under FASB ASC Topic 815, in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST) and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The update also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this standard has not had a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” (ASU 2013-11). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. Our early adoption of ASU 2013-11 on a prospective basis as of December 29, 2013 resulted in a decrease to deferred tax assets and a decrease to other long-term liabilities. Refer to Note 12 of the Annual Report.
In December 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-12, "Definition of a Public Business Entity – An Addition to the Master Glossary," (ASU 2013-12). The amendment provides a single definition of public business entity for use in future financial accounting and reporting guidance. There is no actual effective date for the amendment, however, the term public business entity will be used in future ASUs. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition since we continue to be considered a public business entity.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Other Standards
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210-20)," (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application for all comparable periods presented. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date,” (ASU 2013-04). The update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date as the sum of the obligation the entity agreed to pay among its co-obligors and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations that existed upon adoption of the ASU. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” (ASU 2013-05). The update clarifies that complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign entity is required to release the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) for transactions occurring within a foreign entity. However, transactions impacting investments in a foreign entity may result in a full or partial release of CTA even though complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity has not occurred. Furthermore, for transactions involving step acquisitions, the CTA associated with the previous equity-method investment will be fully released when control is obtained and consolidation occurs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. We will apply the guidance prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” (ASU 2013-07). The objective of ASU 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The ASU is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

	ACQUISITIONS
	Fiscal 2011
	On January 28, 2011, we entered into a Master Purchase Agreement. The Master Purchase Agreement outlines the general terms and conditions pursuant to which we agreed to acquire, through the acquisition of equity and/or assets, a retail apparel and footwear product identification business which designs, manufactures and sells tags and labels, brand protection, and EAS solutions/labels (collectively, the “Shore to Shore businesses”). The acquisition was settled on May 16, 2011 for approximately $78.7 million, net of cash acquired of $1.9 million and the assumption of debt of $4.2 million. The purchase price was funded by $66.7 million of cash from operations and $9.2 million of borrowings under our 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility, and included the acquisition of the following:
	•	100% of the voting equity interests of J&F International, Inc. (U.S.), Shore to Shore Far East (Hong Kong), Shore to Shore MIS (India), Shore to Shore Lacar SA (Guatemala), Adapt Identification (HK) Ltd., and W Print Europe Ltd. (UK);
	•	Assets of Shore to Shore, Inc. (U.S.), Shanghai WH Printing Co. Ltd., Wing Hung (Dongguan) Printing Co., Ltd., and Wing Hung Printing Co., Ltd. (U.S.);
	•	51% of the voting equity interests of Shore to Shore PVT Ltd. (Sri Lanka);
	•	50% of the voting equity interests of the Cybsa Adapt SA de CV (El Salvador) joint venture. In accordance with ASC 323 “Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures”, we have applied the Equity Method in recording this joint venture.
	During the second quarter of 2012, we finalized the purchase accounting of the acquisition of the Shore to Shore businesses. At June 24, 2012, the financial statements reflected the final allocation of the purchase price based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, including $17.1 million in Property, Plant, and Equipment, $7.1 million in Accounts Receivable, and $2.2 million in Inventories. This final allocation resulted in acquired goodwill of $59.7 million, of which $9.8 million is tax deductible, and intangible assets of $10.5 million. The intangible assets were composed of a non-compete agreement ($0.3 million), customer lists ($9.8 million), and trade names ($0.4 million). The useful lives were 5 years for the non-compete agreement, 10 years for the customer lists, and 7.5 months for the trade names. The results from the acquisition date through December 25, 2011 were included in the Apparel Labeling Solutions segment (revenues of $35.3 million and a net loss of $9 thousand).
	The purchase price included a payment to escrow of $17.5 million related to the 2010 performance of the acquired business. This amount is subject to adjustment pending final determination of the 2010 performance and could result in an additional purchase price payment of up to $6.3 million. An arbitration process has required the seller to provide audited financial information related to the 2010 performance. When this information is received, the final adjustment to the purchase price will be reflected through earnings. Acquisition related costs incurred in connection with the transaction are recognized within acquisition costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and approximate $1.0 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
	As we acquired 51% of the outstanding voting shares of Shore to Shore PVT Ltd. (Sri Lanka) in exchange for $1.7 million in cash, we classified the non-controlling interests as equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, and presented net income attributable to non-controlling interests separately on our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the years ended December 29, 2013 , December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011. The fair value of the non-controlling interest was estimated by applying a market approach. Key assumptions include control premiums associated with guideline transactions of entities deemed to be similar to Shore to Shore PVT Ltd. (Sri Lanka), and adjustments because of the lack of control that market participants would consider when measuring the fair value of the non-controlling interest. On June 24, 2013, we completed the sale of our 51% interest for which we received cash proceeds of $0.2 million (net of a stamp duty). The gain on sale of $0.2 million is recorded within other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	Pro forma results of operations have not been presented individually or in the aggregate for this acquisition because the effects of the acquisition were not material to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

	We recorded $11.8 million, $14.3 million, and $12.9 million of amortization expense for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	In the fourth quarter of 2013, through the budgeting process, working capital prioritization activities, and other strategic direction reviews, it was determined that our European ERP system implementation was no longer a strategic priority for 2014 through 2016. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2013, we recorded an impairment of $4.7 million recorded in internal-use software related to this portion of the ERP system implementation. The impairment charge was recorded in asset impairment expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We plan to implement our South China ALS ERP system by the end of 2016.
	During the second quarter of 2012, we experienced deterioration in revenues, gross margins and operating results in each of our segments as compared to the forecasted amounts in the most recent impairment test. Due to the declines in operating results in our segments, a change in management, and a revised strategic focus, we determined that impairment triggering events had occurred and that an assessment of goodwill was warranted. As a result of interim impairment indicators in the second quarter of 2012, we performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets in our Apparel Labeling Solutions reporting unit to their carrying amounts. The undiscounted cash flow analysis resulted in no impairment charge in the quarter ended June 24, 2012.
	As a result of impairment indicators in the fourth quarter of 2012, we performed a recoverability test by comparing the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the long-lived assets in our European Retail Merchandising Solutions reporting unit to their carrying amounts. The undiscounted cash flow analysis resulted in no impairment charge in the quarter ended December 30, 2012. While we currently believe that our projected results will not result in future impairment, a continued deterioration in results could trigger a future impairment.
	In December 2011, as a result of our annual impairment test of our indefinite-lived trade names, we recorded a $0.6 million impairment charge to the SIDEP trade name. In December 2013, as a result of our annual impairment test of our indefinite-lived trade names, we recorded a $0.1 million impairment charge to the remaining value of the SIDEP trade name. The impairment charges were recorded in asset impairment expense in the Merchandise Availability Solutions segment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years is anticipated to be:

	2014	$	13,755

	2018	$	3,622
	Historically, we have reported our results of operations in three segments: Shrink Management Solutions (SMS), Apparel Labeling Solutions (ALS), and Retail Merchandising Solutions (RMS). During the third quarter of 2013, we adjusted the product allocation between our SMS and ALS segments, renamed the SMS segment Merchandise Availability Solutions (MAS) and began reporting our segments as: Merchandise Availability Solutions, Apparel Labeling Solutions, and Retail Merchandising Solutions.

	During fiscal 2011, we completed acquisitions which impacted goodwill and intangible assets. Refer to Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this acquisition, including any impact of purchase accounting adjustments.
	We perform an assessment of goodwill by comparing each individual reporting unit’s carrying amount of net assets, including goodwill, to their fair value at least annually during the October month-end close and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The 2013 and 2011 annual assessments did not result in an impairment charge.
	As of the date of our fiscal 2013 annual impairment test, the total fair values for the remaining reporting units in all of our segments exceeded their total carrying values by more than 54%. Based on our most recent goodwill impairment assessment of the reporting units of our segments and our understanding of currently projected trends of the business and the economy, we do not believe that there is a significant risk of impairment for these reporting units for a reasonable period of time. Although our analysis regarding the fair values of the goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets indicates that they exceed their respective carrying values, materially different assumptions regarding the future performance of our businesses or significant declines in our stock price could result in additional goodwill impairment losses. Specifically, an unanticipated deterioration in revenues and gross margins generated by our Merchandise Availability Solutions and Retail Merchandising Solutions segments could trigger future impairment in those segments.
	During the second quarter of 2012, we experienced deterioration in revenues, gross margins and operating results in each of our segments as compared to the forecasted amounts in the most recent annual impairment test. Due to the declines in operating results in our segments, a change in management, and a revised strategic focus, we determined that impairment triggering events had occurred and that an assessment of goodwill was warranted. This resulted in our assessment that the carrying value of the Apparel Labeling Solutions reporting unit exceeded its fair value. The basis of the fair value was determined by projecting future cash flows using assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions that may differ from actual cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from our market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at the date of the evaluation. The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our weighted average cost of capital that we use to determine our discount rate and through our stock price that we use to determine our market capitalization. As a result of our interim impairment test, a $64.4 million non-cash impairment charge was recorded as of June 24, 2012 in our Apparel Labeling Solutions segment. The goodwill impairment expense was due to the decline in estimated future Apparel Labeling Solutions cash flow impacted by our plan to refocus the business, coupled with recent declines in revenue and profitability. The impairment charge of the entire goodwill balance in our Apparel Labeling Solutions segment was recorded in goodwill impairment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	There were no additional impairment indicators during the third quarter ended September 23, 2012. Our 2012 annual impairment test resulted in our assessment that the carrying value of the European Retail Merchandising Solutions reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result of our annual impairment test, a $38.3 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge was assessed as of October 21, 2012, and recorded in goodwill impairment expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter of 2012 in our Retail Merchandising Solutions segment. The goodwill impairment was due to the decline in estimated future European Retail Merchandising Solutions cash flows impacted by current economic conditions in Europe resulting in decreased customer investments in new stores and refurbishments. Additionally, increased competition and pricing pressures are factors that have negatively impacted this business.
	Determining the fair value of a reporting unit is a matter of judgment and involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease estimated discounted future cash flows and could increase or decrease an impairment charge. If the use of these assets or the projections of future cash flows change in the future, we may be required to record additional impairment charges. An erosion of future business results in any of the business units could create impairment in goodwill or other long-lived assets and require a significant charge in future periods.

	2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility
	On December 11, 2013, we entered into a new $200.0 million five-year senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility("2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility") agreement ("2013 Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders. The 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility was used to repay $32.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility as well as the $55.6 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Notes. We may borrow, prepay and re-borrow under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility as long as the sum of the outstanding principal amounts is less than the aggregate facility availability. The 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility also includes an expansion option that will allow us to request an increase in the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility of up to an aggregate of $100.0 million, for a potential total commitment of $300.0 million.
	All obligations under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility are irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by certain domestic subsidiaries. Collateral under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility includes a 100% stock pledge of domestic subsidiaries and a 65% stock pledge of all first-tier foreign subsidiaries, excluding our Japanese subsidiary. All domestic tangible and intangible personal property, excluding any real property with a value of less than $5 million, are also pledged as collateral.
	Borrowings under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, other than swingline loans, bear interest at our option of either (i) a spread ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% over the Base Rate (as described below), or (ii) a spread ranging from 1.25% to 2.25% over the LIBOR rate, and in each case fluctuating in accordance with changes in our leverage ratio, as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement.  The “Base Rate” is the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%, (b) the Administrative Agent’s prime rate, and (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%.  Swingline loans bear interest of (i) a spread ranging from 0.25% to 1.25% over the Base Rate.  We pay an unused line fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% per annum on the unused portion of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility.
	Pursuant to the terms of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we are subject to various requirements, including covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) a maximum total leverage ratio of 3.00 and (ii) a minimum interest coverage ratio of 3.00. We are in compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio and minimum interest coverage ratio as of December 29, 2013. The 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, notice provisions and events of default, including change of control, cross-defaults to other debt, and judgment defaults.  Upon a default under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, including the non-payment of principal or interest, our obligations under the 2013 Credit Agreement may be accelerated and the assets securing such obligations may be sold.
	As of December 29, 2013, we incurred $1.8 million in fees and expenses in connection with the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility, which are amortized over the term of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility to interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs recognized in connection with the 2010 Secured Credit Facility of $0.4 million are amortized over the term of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility to interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	As of December 29, 2013, $1.8 million, issued in letters of credit, were outstanding under the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility.
	2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility
	On July 22, 2010, we entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Facility (“2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of lenders. The 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility provided us with a $125.0 million four-year senior secured multi-currency revolving credit facility.
	On February 17, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility which increased the required leverage ratio covenant of adjusted EBITDA to total debt. Had we not received the amendment, we would have been in violation of the leverage ratio covenant as of March 25, 2012.
	On July 31, 2012, we entered into an additional amendment to our 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility ("July 2012 Amendment"), which contained several modifications. The July 2012 Amendment reduced the total commitment of the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility from $125.0 million to $75.0 million. The July 2012 Amendment reduced the sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit from $25.0 million to $5.0 million, reduced the sublimit for swingline loans from $25.0 million to $5.0 million, increased the required leverage ratio covenant of adjusted EBITDA to total debt and reduced the fixed charge covenant. In addition, the July 2012 Amendment permitted divestitures, acquisitions and transfers of assets to non-credit parties, under certain conditions. The July 2012 Amendment also contained a provision whereby if our cash balance exceeded $65 million as of weekly measurement dates, we were required to prepay any additional borrowings made subsequent to the July 2012 Amendments. This provision was effective until we were in compliance with our original covenant requirements for two consecutive quarters.
	During the Waiver Period, the interest rate spread on the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility increased to a maximum of 4.25% over the Base Rate or 5.25% over the LIBOR rate. The “Base Rate” is the highest of (a) our lender's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate, plus 0.50%, and (c) a daily rate equal to the one-month LIBOR rate, plus 1.00%. The unused line fee increased to a maximum of 1.00% per annum. The maximum was based in accordance with changes in our leverage ratio.
	During the year ended December 30, 2012, we incurred $1.3 million in fees and expenses in connection with the July 2012 Amendment to the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility, which were capitalized and amortized over the term of the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility to interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. In connection with the reduction in borrowing capacity of the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we recognized $0.8 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The cost was recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in 2012.
	On September 21, 2012, we repaid $6.1 million on the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the July 2012 Amendment, the repayment permanently reduced the outstanding borrowing capacity from $75.0 million to $68.9 million. In connection with the reduction in borrowing capacity of the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we recognized $0.2 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The cost was recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of 2012.
	On June 28, 2013, we repaid $3.8 million on the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the July 2012 Amendment, the repayment permanently reduced the outstanding borrowing capacity from $68.9 million to $65.1 million. In connection with the reduction in borrowing capacity of the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we recognized $71 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs. The costs were recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2013.
	On September 27, 2013, we repaid $2.7 million on the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the July 2012 Amendment, the repayment permanently reduced the outstanding borrowing capacity from $65.1 million to $62.4 million. In connection with the reduction in borrowing capacity of the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility, we recognized $38 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs. The costs were recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of 2013.
	On December 11, 2013, we repaid the $32.0 million outstanding under the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility and terminated the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility. In connection with the paydown, we recognized $0.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to lenders that are not included in the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter of 2013. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs recognized in connection with the 2010 Secured Credit Facility of $0.4 million are amortized over the term of the 2013 Senior Secured Credit Facility to interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	Senior Secured Notes
	Also on July 22, 2010, we entered into a Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement (the “Senior Secured Notes Agreement”) with a lender, and certain other purchasers party thereto (together with the lender, the “Purchasers”).
	On February 17, 2012, we entered into an amendment to our Senior Secured Notes which increased the required leverage ratio covenant of adjusted EBITDA to total debt. Had we not received the amendment, we would have been in violation of the leverage ratio covenant as of March 25, 2012.
	On July 31, 2012, we entered into an additional amendment to our Senior Secured Notes ("July 2012 Note Amendment"), which contained several modifications. The July 2012 Note Amendment increased the required leverage ratio covenant of adjusted EBITDA to total debt and reduced the fixed charge covenant. In addition, the July 2012 Amendment permitted divestitures, acquisitions and transfers of assets to non-credit parties, under certain conditions.
	During the Waiver Period, and until such time as the financial covenants returned to the original covenants for two consecutive quarters, the coupon rate on the Senior Secured Notes increased to 5.75%, 6.13%, and 6.50% for the Series A Senior Secured Notes, Series B Senior Secured Notes, and Series C Senior Secured Notes, respectively.
	During the year ended December 30, 2012, we incurred $1.4 million in fees and expenses in connection with the July 2012 Amendment to the Senior Secured Notes, of which $0.6 million were recognized in selling, general, and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in 2012 and $0.8 million, which were capitalized and will be amortized over the term of the Senior Secured Notes to interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	On September 21, 2012, we repaid $8.9 million in principal as well as a make-whole premium of $1.1 million related to the Senior Secured Notes. In connection with the repayment on the Senior Secured Notes, we recognized $0.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt issuance costs and make whole premium fees were recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in 2012.
	On June 28, 2013, we repaid $6.2 million in principal as well as a make-whole premium of $0.6 million related to the Senior Secured Notes. In connection with the repayment on the Senior Secured Notes, we recognized $57 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt issuance costs and make-whole premium fees were recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the second quarter of 2013.
	On September 27, 2013, we repaid $4.3 million in principal as well as a make-whole premium of $0.4 million related to the Senior Secured Notes. In connection with the repayment on the Senior Secured Notes, we recognized $36 thousand of unamortized debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt issuance costs and make-whole premium fees were recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the third quarter of 2013.
	On December 11, 2013, we repaid the outstanding amounts of $55.6 million in principal as well as a make-whole premium of $7.3 million related to the Senior Secured Notes and terminated the Senior Secured Notes. In connection with the repayment on the Senior Secured Notes, we recognized $0.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. The unamortized debt issuance costs and make-whole premium fees were recognized in interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations in the fourth quarter of 2013.
	Other Long-Term Debt
	In December 2013, we entered into a sale-lease-back transaction in Spain. As of December 29, 2013, the lease had a balance of $1.2 million (€0.9 million), of which $0.2 million (€0.2 million) was included in the current portion of long-term debt and $1.0 million (€0.7 million) was included in long-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	In December 2009, we entered into a full-recourse factoring arrangement. The arrangement is secured by trade receivables. We received a weighted average of 92.4% of the face amount of receivables that it desired to sell and the bank agreed, at its discretion, to buy. As of December 29, 2013 the factoring arrangements had a balance of $0.3 million (€0.2 million), of which $0.2 million (€0.1 million) was included in the current portion of long-term debt and $0.1 million (€0.1 million) was included in long-term borrowings in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets since the receivables are collectible through 2016.
	The aggregate maturities on all long-term debt (including current portion) are:
	(amounts in thousands)	Debt		Capital		Total
				Leases		Debt
	2014	$	163	$	272	$	435
	2015	91		272		363
	2016	3		295		298
	2017	—		254		254
	2018	90,000		272		90,272
	Thereafter	—		—		—
	Total	$	90,257	$	1,365	$	91,622
	Financing Liability
	In June 2011, we sold, to a financial institution in Spain, rights to future customer receivables resulting from the negotiated extension of previously executed sales-type lease arrangements, whose receivables were previously sold. The 2011 transaction qualified as a legal sale without recourse. However, until the receivables are recognized, the proceeds from the fiscal 2011 legal sale are accounted for as a financing arrangement and reflected as a financing liability in our consolidated balance sheet. The balance of the financing liability is $35.1 million and $31.6 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. We impute a non-cash interest charge on the financing liability using a rate of 6.365%, which we recognize as interest expense, until our right to recognize the legal sales permits us to de-recognize the liability and record operating income on the sale. We recognized interest expense related to the financing liability of $2.1 million and $1.9 million in the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
	During fiscal 2016 through 2018, when we are permitted to recognize the lease receivables upon the commencement of the lease extensions, we expect to de-recognize both the associated receivables and the related financing liability and record other operating income on the sale. At this point, our obligation under the financing liability will have been extinguished.

Stock-Based Compensation	'
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
	At December 29, 2013, we had stock-based employee compensation plans as described below. For the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011, the total compensation expense (included in selling, general, and administrative expense) related to these plans was $6.4 million, $4.7 million, and $7.3 million ($6.1 million, $4.5 million, and $7.1 million, net of tax), respectively.
	Stock Plans
	On April 29, 2004, the shareholders approved the Checkpoint Systems, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (2004 Plan). The initial shares available under the 2004 Plan were approximately 3,500,000, which represent the shares that were available at that time under the 1992 Stock Option Plan (1992 Plan). All cancellations and forfeitures related to share units outstanding under the 1992 Plan will be added back to the shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan. No further awards will be issued under the 1992 Plan. The 2004 Plan is designed to provide incentives to employees, non-employee directors, and independent contractors through the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock units, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights and cash awards. The Compensation Committee (Committee) of our Board of Directors administers the 2004 Plan and determines the terms and conditions of each award. Stock options issued under the 2004 Plan primarily vest over a three-year period and expire not more than 10 years from date of grant. Restricted stock units vest over three to five year periods from date of grant. On June 3, 2009, at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Checkpoint Systems, Inc., the shareholders of the Company approved the Checkpoint Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, Effective Date: February 17, 2009 (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”), which was amended and restated to extend the term of the Omnibus Incentive Plan by an additional five years and to re-approve the performance goals set forth under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The 2004 Plan was further amended on June 2, 2010, at the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Checkpoint Systems, Inc., when our shareholders approved the Checkpoint Systems, Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which was amended and restated to:
	•	increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by 3,250,000 shares to an aggregate of 6,687,956 shares;
	•	revise the “repricing” provision such that the new provision will provide that, except in respect of certain corporate transactions, the terms of outstanding awards may not be amended to (i) reduce the exercise price of outstanding stock options or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), or (ii) cancel, exchange, substitute, buy out or surrender outstanding options or SARs in exchange for cash, other awards, stock options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original stock options or SARs (as applicable) without shareholder approval;
	•	impose a limitation on certain shares of the Company’s common stock from again being made available for issuance under the Plan such that the following shares of the Company’s common stock may not again be made available for issuance: (i) shares of common stock not issued or delivered as a result of the net settlement of an outstanding SAR or stock option, (ii) shares of common stock used to pay the exercise price or withholding taxes related to an outstanding award, or (iii) shares of common stock repurchased on the open market with the proceeds of the stock option exercise price;
	•	establish a minimum exercise price with respect to stock options or SARs to be granted under the Plan such that no stock option or SAR may be granted under the Plan with a per share exercise price that is less than 100% of the fair market value of one share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant; and
	•	establish a limitation against the payment of any cash dividend or dividend equivalent right (“DER”) with respect to awards that vest based upon the attainment of one or more performance measures such that no awards granted under the Plan based upon the attainment of one or more performance measures will be entitled to receive payment of any cash dividends or DERs with respect to such awards unless and until such awards vest.
	As of December 29, 2013, there were 3,134,925 shares available for grant under the 2004 Plan.
	Our 1992 Stock Option Plan (1992 Plan) allowed us to grant either Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) or Non-Incentive Stock Options (NSOs) to purchase up to 16,000,000 shares of common stock. Only employees were eligible to receive ISOs and both employees and non-employee directors of the Company were eligible to receive NSOs. On February 17, 2004, the Plan was amended to allow an independent consultant to receive NSOs. All ISOs under the 1992 Plan expire not more than ten years (plus six months in the case of NSOs) from the date of grant. Both ISOs and NSOs require a purchase price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. As of December 29, 2013, there were no shares available for grant under the 1992 Plan.
	On December 27, 2007, we adopted a stand alone inducement stock option plan authorizing the issuance of options to purchase up to 270,000 shares of our common stock, which were granted to the newly elected President and CEO of the Company in connection with his hire. The non-qualified stock options provide for three vesting instances: 60% on December 31, 2010; 20% on December 31, 2011; and 20% on December 31, 2012. The options also have a market condition. The market condition specifies that any unvested tranche will vest immediately as soon as the Company’s stock price exceeds 200% of the December 27, 2007, strike price of $22.71. In addition, there were 230,000 shares issued out of our Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan with similar vesting and market based criteria as described above.
	To determine the fair value of stock options with market conditions we used the Monte Carlo simulation lattice model using the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 37.04%, (ii) risk-free rate of 4.1%, (iii) expected term of 10 years, and (iv) an expected dividend yield of zero. The weighted average fair value of the stock options with market conditions was $12.43 per share.
	During fiscal 2005, we initiated a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). Under this plan, restricted stock units (RSUs) were awarded to eligible executives. During fiscal 2006, we expanded the scope of the LTIP. Under the expanded plan, RSUs were awarded to eligible key employees.
	On February 17, 2009, RSUs were awarded to certain key employees of the Company as part of the LTIP 2009 plan. The number of shares for these units varies based on the Company achieving specific relative performance goals versus a pool of peer companies during the January 2009 to December 2011 performance period. The value of these units is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with periodic adjustments to account for changes in anticipated award amounts and estimated forfeitures rates. The weighted average price for these RSUs was $8.12 per share. At December 25, 2011, we reversed $0.5 million of previously recognized compensation cost since it was determined that the Company did not achieve the specific relative performance goals set forth in the plan. Accordingly, no RSUs were earned under this plan.
	On February 12, 2010, RSUs were awarded to certain key employees of the Company as part of the LTIP 2010 plan. The number of shares for these units varies based on the Company achieving specific relative performance goals versus a pool of peer companies during the January 2010 to December 2012 performance period. The value of these units is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with periodic adjustments to account for changes in anticipated award amounts and estimated forfeitures rates. The weighted average price for these RSUs was $15.83 per share. Additional RSUs related to the LTIP 2010 plan were awarded on February 22, 2010, and March 11, 2010, with a weighted average price of $17.06 and $21.76 per share, respectively. At June 24, 2012, we reversed $0.8 million of previously recognized compensation cost since it was determined that the Company would not achieve the specific relative performance goals set forth in the plan. Accordingly, no RSUs were earned under this plan.
	On February 17, 2011, RSUs were awarded to certain key employees of the Company as part of the LTIP 2011 plan. The number of shares for these units varies based on the Company achieving specific relative performance goals versus the Russell 2000 index during the January 2011 to December 2013 performance period. The value of these units is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with periodic adjustments to account for changes in anticipated award amounts and estimated forfeitures rates. The weighted average price for these RSUs was $22.54 per share. At September 23, 2012, we assessed our performance versus the Russell 2000 index and determined that a portion of the goals identified in the plan would not be achieved. As a result, at September 23, 2012, we reversed $0.3 million of previously recognized compensation cost attributable to these goals. For fiscal year 2012, $0.1 million of income was charged against compensation expense. At September 29, 2013, we reversed $0.3 million of previously recognized compensation cost since it was determined that we would not achieve the remaining performance goals set forth in the plan.
	On February 22, 2012, RSUs were awarded to certain of our key employees as part of the LTIP 2012 plan. The number of shares for these units varies based on the Company achieving certain levels of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) during the January 2012 to December 2014 performance period. The value of these units is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with periodic adjustments to account for changes in anticipated award amounts and estimated forfeitures rates. The weighted average price for these RSUs was $11.93 per share. For fiscal year 2012, $0.1 million was charged to compensation expense. At September 29, 2013, we reversed $0.2 million of previously recognized compensation cost due to current and projected shortfalls in our EBIDTA growth compared to the LTIP 2012 plan requirements.
	On July 24, 2012, RSUs were awarded to certain of our key employees as part of the LTIP Second Half 2012 plan. The number of shares for these units varies based on individual performance versus second half 2012 goals. These goals were developed for employees who can influence key metrics set forth in the new business strategy during the July 2012 to December 2012 performance period. The weighted average price for these RSUs was $7.59 per share. The value of these units was charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with periodic adjustments to account for changes in anticipated award amounts and estimated forfeitures rates. For fiscal year 2012, $0.6 million was charged to compensation expense for the LTIP Second Half 2012 Plan. Final assessment of these goals was completed in the second quarter of 2013, resulting in a reversal of $0.1 million of compensation expense. At May 1, 2013, 74,321 units vested at a grant price of $7.59 per share. These RSUs reduce the shares available to grant under the 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (2004 Plan).
	On February 27, 2013, RSUs were awarded to certain of our key employees as part of the LTIP 2013 plan. These awards have a market condition. The number of shares for these units varies based on the relative ranking of our total shareholder return (TSR) against the TSRs of the constituents of the Russell 2000 Index during the January 2013 to December 2015 performance period. The final value of these units will be determined by the number of shares earned. The value of these units is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with periodic adjustments to account for changes in anticipated award amounts and estimated forfeitures rates. The grant date fair value for these RSUs was $11.91 per share. Additional RSUs related to the LTIP 2013 plan were awarded on May 28, 2013, with a grant date fair value of $11.56 per share. For the year ended December 29, 2013, 42 thousand was charged to compensation expense. As of December 29, 2013, total unamortized compensation expense for these grants was $0.1 million. As of December 29, 2013, the maximum achievable RSUs outstanding under this plan are 26,400 units. These RSUs reduce the shares available to grant under the 2004 Plan.
	To determine the fair value of RSUs with market conditions that were awarded on February 27, 2013, we used a Monte Carlo simulation using the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 47.01%, (ii) risk-free rate of 0.35%, and (iii) an expected dividend yield of zero.
	To determine the fair value of RSUs with market conditions that were awarded on May 28, 2013, we used a Monte Carlo simulation using the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 45.23%, (ii) risk-free rate of 0.41%, and (iii) an expected dividend yield of zero.
	On May 2, 2013, a cash-based performance award was awarded to our CEO under the terms of our 2013 LTIP plan. Our relative TSR performance determines the payout as a percentage of an established target cash amount of $0.4 million. Because the final payout of the award is made in cash, the award is classified as a liability and the fair value is marked-to-market each reporting period. As of December 29, 2013, the fair value of the award is $0.61 per dollar of the target cash amount awarded. The value of this award is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the year ended December 29, 2013, $0.1 million was charged to compensation expense. The associated liability is included in Accrued Compensation and Related Taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	To determine the fair value of the cash-based performance award as of December 29, 2013, we used a Monte Carlo simulation using the following assumptions: (i) expected volatility of 43.12%, (ii) risk-free rate of 0.40%, and (iii) an expected dividend yield of zero.
	Stock Options
	Option activity under the principal option plans as of December 29, 2013 and changes during the year then ended were as follows:
		Number of		Weighted-			Weighted-	Aggregate
		Shares		Average			Average	Intrinsic
				Exercise			Remaining	Value
				Price			Contractual	(in thousands)
							Term
							(in years)
	Outstanding at December 30, 2012	2,744,057		$	17.24		5.01	$	1,321
	Granted	132,367		12.32
	Exercised	(236,014	)	11.35
	Forfeited or expired	(189,750	)	15.23
	Outstanding at December 29, 2013	2,450,660		$	17.7		4.35	$	4,285
	Vested and expected to vest at December 29, 2013	2,361,755		$	18		4.19	$	3,787
	Exercisable at December 29, 2013	1,981,057		$	19.38		3.44	$	2,040
	The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of fiscal 2013 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on December 29, 2013. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011, was $0.8 million, $0.1 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.
	As of December 29, 2013, $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
	Tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options are classified as financing cash flows. Cash received from option exercises and purchases under the ESPP for the year ended December 29, 2013 was $4.1 million. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deduction from option exercises of the share-based payment units totaled $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012. We have applied the “Short-cut” method in calculating the historical windfall tax benefits. All tax short falls will be applied against this windfall before being charged to earnings.
	Restricted Stock Units
	We issue service-based restricted stock units with vesting periods up to five years. These awards are valued using their intrinsic value on the date of grant. The compensation expense is recognized straight-line over the vesting term.
	Nonvested service-based restricted stock units as of December 29, 2013 and changes during the year ended December 29, 2013 were as follows:
		Number of		Weighted-		Weighted-
		Shares		Average		Average
				Vest Date		Grant Date
				(in years)		Fair Value
	Nonvested at December 30, 2012	563,106		0.79		$	21.14
	Granted	568,533				$	12.19
	Vested	(249,944	)			$	14.49
	Forfeited	(29,187	)			$	14.05
	Nonvested at December 29, 2013	852,508		0.64		$	17.36
	Vested and expected to vest at December 29, 2013	813,428		0.58
	Vested at December 29, 2013	52,500		—
	The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during 2013 was $4.2 million as compared to $2.2 million during 2012. As of December 29, 2013, there was $2.4 million unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.
	Other Compensation Arrangements
	During fiscal 2010, we initiated a plan in which time-vested cash unit awards were granted to eligible employees. The time-vested cash unit awards under this plan vest evenly over two or three years from the date of grant. The total amount accrued related to the plan equaled $0.9 million at December 29, 2013, of which $1.2 million, $1.2 million, and $0.6 million was expensed for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011, respectively. The associated liability is included in Accrued Compensation and Related Taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Cash payments in 2013, 2012, and 2011 include payments for interest of $16.3 million, $8.7 million, and $6.7 million, respectively, and also includes payments for income taxes of $10.8 million, $10.8 million, and $17.9 million, respectively.
	In January 2011, we entered into an agreement to acquire the business of Shore to Shore, through the acquisition of equity and/or assets, which together is a retail apparel and footwear product identification business which designs, manufactures and sells tags and labels, brand protection, and EAS solutions/labels. The acquisition was settled on May 16, 2011 for approximately $78.7 million, net of cash acquired of $1.9 million and the assumption of debt of $4.2 million. The purchase price was funded by $66.7 million of cash from operations and $9.2 million of borrowings under our 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility. The acquisition payment, net of cash acquired, is reflected in the acquisition of businesses line within investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
	At December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011, we accrued $1.1 million, $0.5 million and $2.3 million respectively of capital expenditures. These amounts were excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows at December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011 since they represent non-cash investing activities. Accrued capital expenditures at December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011 are included in accounts payable and other accrued expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Also excluded from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011 are $0.1 million, $27 thousand, and $0.1 million, respectively, of new capital lease obligations and related capitalized assets.

	EARNINGS PER SHARE
	For fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, basic earnings per share are based on net earnings divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on net earnings from continuing operations and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common stock:

	Anti-dilutive potential common shares are not included in our earnings per share calculation. The Long-term Incentive Plan restricted stock units were excluded from our calculation due to the performance of vesting criteria not being met.
	The number of anti-dilutive potential common shares for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011 were as follows:
	(amounts in thousands)	December 29, 2013			December 30, 2012			December 25, 2011
	Weighted average potential common shares associated with anti-dilutive stock options and restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted EPS(1)	2,368			3,107			2,380
	(1)	Adjustments for stock options and awards of 361 shares, 61 shares and 329 shares and deferred compensation arrangements of 21 shares, 12 shares and 11 shares were anti-dilutive in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These shares were therefore excluded from the earnings per share calculation due to our net loss for the years.

	We have corrected the disclosure presentation of our net operating loss and foreign tax credit carryforwards and the valuation allowance by $37.0 million to properly reflect their gross positions as of December 30, 2012. This revision of our 2012 presentation is necessary from a disclosure perspective only and has no impact on our previously reported 2012 Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations. Other adjustments have been made to 2012 figures in the table above to be more consistent with the current year.
	A net correction of $5.2 million was recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 30, 2012. The correction reclassified competent authority assets of $7.6 million from other long-term liabilities to deferred tax assets. Additionally, we corrected the classification of $2.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits from other long-term liabilities to deferred tax assets.
	Our early adoption of ASU 2013-11 on a prospective basis as of December 29, 2013 resulted in a decrease to deferred tax assets and a decrease to other long-term liabilities.
	At December 29, 2013, we had $29.2 million of net operating loss carryforwards (tax effected) in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. Of these, $22.3 million have no expiration, and the remaining $6.9 million will expire in future years through 2023. In the U.S., there were approximately $13.5 million of federal and $6.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, which will expire in future years through 2033. Of the $13.5 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards, $5.3 million is subject to IRC § 382 limitations.
	In the U.S., a $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $3.5 million windfall benefit on stock compensation occurred in 2013, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  We have not recorded these amounts to additional capital or increased its related net operating loss carryforward due to the fact that the windfall benefits have not reduced income taxes payable. There was no windfall benefit on stock compensation in 2012. We have adopted a “with and without” approach with regards to utilization of windfall benefits.
	At December 29, 2013, we had U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards of $50.9 million with expiration dates ranging from 2015 to 2023.
	We operate under tax holidays in other countries, which are effective through dates ranging from 2015 through 2017, and may be extended if certain additional requirements are satisfied. The tax holidays are conditional upon our meeting certain employment and investment thresholds.
	In accordance with ASC 740, "Accounting for Income Taxes", we evaluate our deferred income taxes quarterly to determine if valuation allowances are required or should be adjusted. ASC 740 requires that companies assess whether valuation allowances should be established against their deferred tax assets based on all available evidence, both positive and negative, using a “more likely than not” standard. In the assessment for a valuation allowance, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, our experience with loss carryforwards not expiring and tax planning alternatives. We operate and derive income from multiple lines of business across multiple jurisdictions. As each of the respective lines of business experiences changes in operating results across their geographic footprint, we may encounter losses in jurisdictions that have been historically profitable, and as a result might require additional valuation allowances to be recorded against certain deferred tax asset balances.  We are committed to implementing tax planning actions, when deemed appropriate, in jurisdictions that experience losses in order to realize deferred tax assets prior to their expiration.  At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, we had net deferred tax assets of $31.5 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
	During 2010, negative evidence arose in the form of cumulative losses in the U.S. and Germany, with net deferred tax assets of $41.7 million and $9.6 million, respectively. In 2010, and the first six months of 2011, we considered all available evidence and were able to conclude on a more likely than not basis that the effects of our commitment to specific tax planning actions provided a sufficient amount of positive evidence to support the continued benefit of the jurisdictions’ deferred tax assets.
	During the quarter ending September 25, 2011, a valuation allowance in the amount of $48 million was established related to all components of the domestic net deferred tax assets based on the determination after the above considerations that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be fully realized. The amount of valuation allowance recorded was greater than the net domestic deferred tax asset after consideration of deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as goodwill and indefinite lived intangibles. This charge was primarily a result of the trend of significant domestic losses experienced in recent years, as well as the reduction of our global earnings experienced during the first nine months of 2011.
	We have not recorded a valuation allowance on the net German deferred tax asset and continue to rely on a tax planning action that was executed in the fourth quarter of 2011 and has provided evidence during 2012 and 2013 to support the realization of the German deferred tax assets. The German tax planning action does not significantly rely on our global earnings to utilize German deferred tax assets.
	In May 2011, we acquired a retail apparel and footwear product identification business which designs, manufactures and sells tags and labels, brand protection, and EAS solutions/labels (collectively, the “Shore to Shore businesses”) through the acquisition of equity and/or assets. As of December 25, 2011, we established a preliminary opening net deferred tax liability of $3.0 million. In addition, we established $3.1 million of income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in pre-acquisition tax years. The income tax adjustments related to purchase accounting for the Shore to Shore businesses were finalized in 2012. Our preliminary opening net deferred tax liability increased to $3.1 million and the income tax liabilities related to uncertain tax positions in pre-acquisition years was increased to $7.1 million.
	During 2012, negative evidence arose in the form of cumulative losses in the Netherlands, with net deferred assets of $0.3 million. During the quarter ending June 24, 2012, a valuation allowance was established related to certain components of the Netherlands deferred tax asset based on the determination after the above considerations that it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets would not be fully utilized.
	During 2013, negative evidence arose in the form of cumulative losses in various jurisdictions in which we established $0.9 million of valuation allowance during the year. Offsetting this amount is a $1.0 million release in valuation allowance related to Belgium, as positive evidence arose in the form of cumulative income.
	Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries for which taxes have not been provided approximate $4.0 million as of December 29, 2013. Such undistributed earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. A liability could arise if our intention to permanently reinvest such earnings were to change and amounts are distributed by such subsidiaries or if such subsidiaries are ultimately disposed. It is not practicable to estimate the additional income taxes related to permanently reinvested earnings or the basis differences related to investments in subsidiaries.
	In the fourth quarter of 2011, we changed our assertion on unremitted earnings for certain foreign subsidiaries, primarily due to pressure on our leverage ratio for debt covenants. This resulted in the repatriation of foreign earnings in order to reduce worldwide debt to the levels stipulated by our covenants and the projected future cash impact of our refined business strategy. Our assertion on unremitted earnings remains unchanged in 2013.
	As of December 29, 2013, we provided a deferred tax liability of approximately $3.0 million primarily for withholding taxes associated with future repatriation of earnings for certain subsidiaries. We have not provided deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to basis differences in investments in subsidiaries, as such earnings are expected to be permanently reinvested, the investments are essentially permanent in duration, or we have concluded that no additional tax liability will arise as a result of the distribution of such earnings.
	A reconciliation of the tax provision at the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate with the tax provision at the effective income tax rate follows:

Tax provision at the effective tax rate	$	3,671		$	6,005		$	53,353
Included in the effect of foreign operations is the U.S. tax impact of certain foreign income inclusions. Due to the U.S. valuation allowance, there was no related impact on overall tax expense in 2013, 2012 and 2011.
We have corrected the disclosure presentation of our effect of foreign operations and losses for which no tax benefit recognized and release of allowance of $37.0 million on current year income to properly reflect their gross impact in 2012. This revision of this historical presentation is necessary from a disclosure perspective only and has no impact on our previously reported 2012 and 2011 Consolidated Balance Sheet or Statement of Operations.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
( amounts in thousands)	December 29, 2013			December 30, 2012			December 25, 2011

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year	$	26,592		$	24,436		$	22,543
We have corrected the disclosure presentation of our gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 by $8.1 million and $6.7 million, respectively, to properly reflect the exclusion of competent authority assets between our various jurisdictions.
As of December 30, 2013 and December 29, 2012, $19.6 million and $21.7 million, respectively, of our unrecognized tax benefits, penalties, and interest were recorded as a component of other long term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate was $18.1 million and $18.9 million at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. Penalties and tax-related interest expense are reported as a component of income tax expense. During fiscal years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011, we recognized interest and penalties of $0.1 million, $(0.8) million, and $1.5 million, respectively, in the statement of operations. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, we have accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $4.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. and in various states, local and foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely examined by tax authorities in these jurisdictions. It is possible that these examinations may be resolved within the next twelve months. Due to the potential for resolution of Federal, state and foreign examinations, and the expiration of various statutes of limitation, it is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits balance may change within the next twelve months by a range of $4.9 million to $13.7 million.
We are currently under audit in the following major jurisdictions: Germany - 2006 to 2009, Finland - 2005 to 2009, India - 2010, United States - 2011. The following major jurisdictions have tax years that remain subject to examination: Germany - 2006 to 2013, United States - 2010 to 2013, China - 2010 to 2013 and Hong Kong - 2007 to 2013. Our tax returns for open years in all jurisdictions are subject to changes upon examination.

Employee Benefit Plans	'
	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
	Under our defined contribution savings plans, eligible employees may make basic (up to 6% of an employee’s earnings) and supplemental contributions. We match in cash 50% of the participant’s basic contributions. Company contributions vest to participants in increasing percentages over one to five years of service. Our contributions under the plans approximated $1.1 million, $1.4 million, and $1.5 million, in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	Generally, all employees in the U.S. may participate in our U.S. Savings Plan. All full-time employees of the Canada subsidiary who have completed three months of service may participate in our Registered Retirement Savings Plan.
	During fiscal 2005, we initiated a 423(b) Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which was adopted by the shareholders at the Annual Shareholder Meeting on April 29, 2004. This plan replaces the non-qualified Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Under the provisions of the 423(b) plan, eligible employees may contribute from 1% to 25% of their base compensation to purchase shares of our common stock at 85% of the fair market value on the offering date or the exercise date of the offering period, whichever is lower.
	On May 31, 2012, at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Checkpoint, our shareholders amended the ESPP in order to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP by 400,000 shares to an aggregate of 1,050,000 shares. Our expense for this plan in fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $0.6 million, respectively. As of December 29, 2013, there were 231,197 shares authorized and available to be issued. During fiscal year 2013, 169,143 shares were issued under this plan as compared to 139,135 shares in 2012 and 100,475 shares in 2011.
	We maintain deferred compensation plans for executives and non-employee directors. The executive deferred compensation plan allows certain executives to defer portions of their salary and bonus (up to 50% and 100%, respectively) into a deferred stock account. All deferrals in this plan are matched 25% by the Company. The match vests in thirds at each calendar year end for three years following the match. For executives over the age of 55 years old, the matching contribution vests immediately. The settlement of this deferred stock account is required by the plan to be made only in Company common stock. The deferral shares held in the deferred compensation plan are considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. The unvested match is considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. Our match into the deferred stock account under the executive plan for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011 were approximately $0.1 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. The match will be expensed ratably over a three year vesting period for executives under 55 years old and immediate for those older than 55 years.
	The director deferred compensation plan allows non-employee directors to defer their compensation into a deferred stock account. All deferrals in this plan are matched 25% by the Company. The match vests immediately. The settlement of this deferred stock account is required by the plan to be made only in Company common stock. The deferral shares held in the deferred compensation plan are considered outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share. Our match into the deferred stock account under the director’s plan approximated $56 thousand, $24 thousand, and $40 thousand for fiscal years 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
	Pension Plans
	We maintain several defined benefit pension plans, principally in Europe. The plans covered approximately 6% of the total workforce at December 29, 2013. The benefits accrue according to the length of service, age, and remuneration of the employee. We recognize the funded status of our defined benefit postretirement plans in our consolidated balance sheet.

In developing the discount rate assumption for each country, we use a yield curve approach. The yield curve is based on the AA rated bonds underlying the Barclays Capital corporate bond index. The weighted average discount rate was 3.52% in 2013 and 3.28% in 2012. We calculate the weighted average duration of the plans in each country, then select the discount rate from the appropriate yield curve which best corresponds to the plans' liability profile.
The majority of our pension plans are unfunded plans. The expected rate of the return was developed using the historical rate of returns of the foreign government bonds currently held. This resulted in the selection of the 4.50% long-term rate of return on asset assumption. For funded plans, all assets are held in foreign government bonds.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT, FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Fair Value Measurement

We utilize the market approach to measure fair value for our financial assets and liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

The fair value hierarchy is intended to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

Level 1

Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2

Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3

Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.

Because our derivatives are not listed on an exchange, we values these instruments using a valuation model with pricing inputs that are observable in the market or that can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Our methodology also incorporates the impact of both the Company’s and the counterparty’s credit standing.

The following tables represent our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 and the basis for that measurement:

We believe that the fair values of our current assets and current liabilities (cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and other current liabilities) approximate their reported carrying amounts. The carrying values and the estimated fair values of non-current financial assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments and are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 are summarized in the following table:

The carrying amounts are reported on the balance sheet under the indicated captions.

Long-term debt is carried at the original offering price, less any payments of principal. Rates currently available to us for long-term borrowings with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing borrowings as the present value of expected cash flows. Both the 2010 Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Senior Secured Notes were extinguished as of December 29, 2013 and therefore no longer require any fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

During the second quarter of 2012, due to the declines in operating results in our segments, a change in management, and a revised strategic focus, we determined that impairment triggering events had occurred and that an assessment of goodwill was warranted. This resulted in the Company’s assessment that the carrying value of the Apparel Labeling Solutions reporting unit exceeded its fair value. The carrying amount was written down to its implied fair value of zero. This resulted in a $64.4 million goodwill impairment charge that was recorded in goodwill impairment expense in the Apparel Labeling Solutions segment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The nonrecurring fair value measurement was developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value was computed using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with our annual impairment test, goodwill with a carrying amount of $61.5 million was written down to its implied fair value of $23.2 million. This resulted in a $38.3 million goodwill impairment charge that was recorded in goodwill impairment expense in the Retail Merchandising Solutions segment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The nonrecurring fair value measurement was developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value was computed using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In 2011, as a result of our annual impairment test, our SIDEP indefinite-lived trade name with a carrying amount of $0.8 million was written down to its implied fair value of $0.2 million. This resulted in a $0.6 million impairment charge that was recorded in asset impairment in the Merchandise Availability Solutions segment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

In 2013, as a result of our annual impairment test, we wrote down the SIDEP indefinite-lived trade name down to its impaired fair value of zero. This resulted in a $0.1 million impairment charge that was recorded in asset impairment in Merchandise Availability Solutions segment on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The nonrecurring fair value measurement was developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value was computed using the relief from royalty income valuation approach. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, through the budgeting process, working capital prioritization activities, and other strategic direction reviews, a portion of our ERP system implementation costs with a carrying amount of $4.7 million was written down to its implied fair value of zero. This resulted in an impairment charge of $4.7 million that was recorded in asset impairment expense in the on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The nonrecurring fair value measurement was developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The fair value was computed using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Severance costs included in our restructuring charges are calculated using internal estimates and are therefore classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accrued restructuring costs for lease termination liabilities of $0.3 million were valued using a discounted cash flow model during the year ended December 29, 2013. Significant assumptions used in determining the amount of the estimated liability include the estimated liabilities for future rental payments on vacant facilities as of their respective cease-use dates and the discount rate utilized to determine the present value of the future expected cash flows. If our assumptions regarding early terminations and the timing and amounts of sublease payments prove to be inaccurate, we may be required to record additional losses or gains in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We recorded $0.2 million in additional expense related to fair value adjustments to existing lease termination liabilities of $0.4 million during the year ended December 29, 2013. Given that the restructuring charges were valued using our internal estimates using a discounted cash flow model, we have classified the accrued restructuring costs as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In connection with our restructuring plans, we have recorded impairment losses in restructuring expense during the year ended December 29, 2013 of $1.2 million due to the impairment of certain long-lived assets for which the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable based upon our estimated cash flows. Assets with carrying amounts of $1.6 million were written down to their fair values of $0.4 million. Given that the impairment losses were determined using internal estimates of future cash flows or upon non-identical assets using significant unobservable inputs, we have classified the remaining fair value of long-lived assets as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 15 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

We manufacture products in the U.S., Europe, and the Asia Pacific region for both the local marketplace and for export to our foreign subsidiaries. The foreign subsidiaries, in turn, sell these products to customers in their respective geographic areas of operation, generally in local currencies. This method of sale and resale gives rise to the risk of gains or losses as a result of currency exchange rate fluctuations on inter-company receivables and payables. Additionally, the sourcing of product in one currency and the sales of product in a different currency can cause gross margin fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates.

Our major market risk exposures are movements in foreign currency and interest rates. We have historically not used financial instruments to minimize our exposure to currency fluctuations on our net investments in and cash flows derived from our foreign subsidiaries. We have used third-party borrowings in foreign currencies to hedge a portion of our net investments in and cash flows derived from our foreign subsidiaries. A reduction in our third party foreign currency borrowings will result in an increase of foreign currency fluctuations on our net investments in and cash flows derived from our foreign subsidiaries.

We enter into forward exchange contracts to reduce the risks of currency fluctuations on short-term inter-company receivables and payables. These contracts are entered into with major financial institutions, thereby minimizing the risk of credit loss. We will consider using interest rate derivatives to manage interest rate risks when there is a disproportionate ratio of floating and fixed-rate debt. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. We are subject to other foreign exchange market risk exposure resulting from anticipated non-financial instrument foreign currency cash flows which are difficult to reasonably predict, and have therefore not been included in the table of fair values. All listed items described are non-trading.

The following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments included within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012:

We selectively purchase currency forward exchange contracts to reduce the risks of currency fluctuations on short-term inter-company receivables and payables. These contracts guarantee a predetermined exchange rate at the time the contract is purchased. This allows us to shift the effect of positive or negative currency fluctuations to a third party. Transaction gains or losses resulting from these contracts are recognized at the end of each reporting period. We use the fair value method of accounting, recording realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts. These gains and losses are included in other gain (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 29, 2013, we had currency forward exchange contracts with notional amounts totaling approximately $3.3 million. The fair values of the forward exchange contracts were reflected as $18 thousand liability included in other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contracts are in the various local currencies covering primarily our operations in the U.S. and Western Europe. Historically, we have not purchased currency forward exchange contracts where it is not economically efficient, specifically for our operations in South America and Asia, with the exception of Japan.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2008, we entered into various foreign currency contracts to reduce our exposure to forecasted Euro-denominated inter-company revenues. These contracts were designated as cash flow hedges. As of December 29, 2013, there were no outstanding foreign currency revenue forecast contracts. The purpose of these cash flow hedges is to eliminate the currency risk associated with Euro-denominated forecasted inter-company revenues due to changes in exchange rates. These cash flow hedging instruments are marked to market and the changes are recorded in other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are recognized in cost of goods sold as the inventory is sold to external parties. Any hedge ineffectiveness is charged to other gain (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 29, 2013, there were no unrealized gains or losses recorded in other comprehensive income. During the year ended December 29, 2013, a $0.2 million benefit related to these foreign currency hedges was recorded to cost of goods sold as the inventory was sold to external parties. We recognized no hedge ineffectiveness during the year ended December 29, 2013.

Aggregate foreign currency transaction losses in 2013, 2012, and 2011, were $4.1 million, $1.7 million, and $2.1 million, respectively, and are included in other gain (loss), net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Additionally, there were no deferrals of gains or losses on currency forward exchange contracts at December 29, 2013.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]	'
Provision For Restructuring	'
	PROVISION FOR RESTRUCTURING
	During September 2011, we initiated the Global Restructuring Plan focused on further reducing our overall operating expenses by including manufacturing and other cost reduction initiatives, such as consolidating certain manufacturing facilities and administrative functions to improve efficiencies. This plan was further expanded in the first quarter of 2012 and again during the second quarter of 2012 to include Project LEAN. The first phase of this plan was implemented in the third quarter of 2011 with the remaining phases of the plan, including final headcount terminations, expected to be substantially complete by the third quarter of 2014.
	The expanded Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN and the SG&A Restructuring Plan will impact over 2,600 existing employees since inception. Total costs of the Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN and the SG&A Restructuring Plan are expected to approximate $78 million to $81 million by the end of the first quarter of 2014, with $60 million to $63 million in total anticipated costs for the Global Restructuring Plan and $18.0 million of costs incurred for the SG&A Restructuring Plan, which is substantially complete. During the fourth quarter of 2013, after additional cost savings reviews, we expanded some of the existing initiatives of Project LEAN, and therefore our total expected costs as well as the completion date for the plan were adjusted. Through our Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN, we plan to stabilize sales, actively manage margins, dramatically reduce operating expenses, more effectively manage working capital and improve global cash management control.
	Restructuring expense for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011 were as follows:

	(1)	During 2012, there was a net charge to earnings of $5.1 million primarily due to lease termination costs, inventory and equipment moving costs, restructuring agent costs, legal costs, pension settlements, and gains/losses on sale of assets in connection with the restructuring plan.
	(2)	During 2012, there was a net charge to earnings of $0.1 million primarily due to lease termination costs and outplacement costs in connection with the restructuring plan.
	(3)	During 2012, there was a severance charge reversed to earnings of $(5.8) million primarily due to eliminations of individuals from the plans, replacements of individuals in the plans with other individuals, resignations, and other final accrual adjustments. The eliminations and replacements were primarily the result of our change in management and strategic vision in 2012.
	Global Restructuring Plan (including LEAN)
	During September 2011, we initiated the Global Restructuring Plan focused on further reducing our overall operating expenses by including manufacturing and other cost reduction initiatives, such as consolidating certain manufacturing facilities and administrative functions to improve efficiencies. This plan was further expanded in the first quarter of 2012 and again during the second quarter of 2012 to include Project LEAN. The first phase of this plan was implemented in the third quarter of 2011 with the remaining phases of the plan, including final headcount terminations, expected to be substantially complete by the third quarter of 2014.
	As of December 29, 2013, the net charge to earnings of $11.0 million represents the current year activity related to the Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN. The anticipated total costs related to the plan are expected to approximate $60 million to $63 million, of which $59.1 million have been incurred. The total number of employees planned to be affected by the Global Restructuring Plan including Project LEAN since inception is approximately 2,273, of which 2,139 have been terminated. Termination benefits are planned to be paid one month to 24 months after termination.
	SG&A Restructuring Plan
	During 2009, we initiated the SG&A Restructuring Plan focused on reducing our overall operating expenses by consolidating certain administrative functions to improve efficiencies. The first phase of this plan was implemented in the fourth quarter of 2009 with the remaining phases of the plan substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2012.
	In the year ended December 29, 2013, the net charge reversed to earnings of $0.2 million represents the current year activity related to the SG&A Restructuring Plan. The implementation of the SG&A Restructuring Plan is substantially complete, with total costs incurred of approximately $18 million. The total number of employees affected by the SG&A Restructuring Plan was 369, all of which have been terminated. Termination benefits are planned to be paid one month to 24 months after termination.
	Manufacturing Restructuring Plan
	In August 2008, we announced a manufacturing and supply chain restructuring program designed to accelerate profitable growth in our Apparel Labeling Solutions (ALS) business, formerly Check-Net®, and to support incremental improvements in our EAS systems and labels businesses.
	The total number of employees affected by the Manufacturing Restructuring Plan was 420, all of which have been terminated. As of December 25, 2011, the implementation of the Manufacturing Restructuring Plan is substantially complete, with total costs incurred to date of $4.1 million.

	We are involved in certain legal and regulatory actions, all of which have arisen in the ordinary course of business, except for the matters described in the following paragraphs.
	Matter related to All-Tag Security S.A., et al
	We originally filed suit on May 1, 2001, alleging that the disposable, deactivatable radio frequency security tag manufactured by All-Tag Security S.A. and All-Tag Security Americas, Inc.'s (jointly “All-Tag”) and sold by Sensormatic Electronics Corporation (“Sensormatic”) infringed on a U.S. Patent No. 4,876,555 (“Patent”) owned by us. On April 22, 2004, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (the “ Pennsylvania Court”) granted summary judgment to defendants All-Tag and Sensormatic on the ground that our Patent was invalid for incorrect inventorship. We appealed this decision. On June 20, 2005, we won an appeal when the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (the “Appellate Court”) reversed the grant of summary judgment and remanded the case to the Pennsylvania Court for further proceedings. On January 29, 2007 the case went to trial, and on February 13, 2007, a jury found in favor of the defendants on infringement, the validity of the Patent and the enforceability of the Patent. On June 20, 2008, the Pennsylvania Court entered judgment in favor of defendants based on the jury's infringement and enforceability findings. On February 10, 2009, the Pennsylvania Court granted defendants' motions for attorneys' fees designating the case as an exceptional case and awarding an unspecified portion of defendants' attorneys' fees under 35 U.S.C. § 285.Defendants sought approximately $5.7 million plus interest. We recognized this amount during the fourth fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2008 in litigation settlements on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On March 6, 2009, we filed objections to the defendants' bill of attorneys' fees. On November 2, 2011, the Pennsylvania Court finalized the decision to order us to pay the attorneys' fees and costs of the defendants in the amount of $6.6 million. The additional amount of $0.9 million was recorded in the fourth quarter ended December 25, 2011 in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. On November 15, 2011, we filed objections to and appealed the Pennsylvania Court's award of attorneys' fees to the defendants. Following the filing of briefs and the completion of oral arguments, the Appellate Court reversed the decision of the Pennsylvania Court on March 25, 2013. As a result of the final decision, we reversed the All-Tag reserve of $6.6 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
	Matter related to Universal Surveillance Corporation EAS RF Anti-trust Litigation
	Universal Surveillance Corporation (“USS”) filed a complaint against us in the United States Federal District Court of the Northern District of Ohio (the “Ohio Court”) on August 19, 2011. USS claims that, in connection with our competition in the electronic article surveillance market, we violated the federal antitrust laws (Sherman Act and Clayton Act) and state antitrust laws (Ohio Valentine Act). USS also claims that we violated the federal Lanham Act, the Ohio Deceptive Trade Practices Act, and the Ohio Trade Secrets Act, and engaged in conduct that allegedly disparaged USS and tortiously interfered with USS's business relationships and contracts. USS is seeking injunctive relief as well as approximately $65 million in claimed damages for alleged lost profits, plus treble damages and attorney's fees under the Sherman Act. As of December 29, 2013, we have neither recorded a reserve for this matter nor do we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred.

	BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION
	Historically, we have reported our results of operations in three segments: Shrink Management Solutions (SMS), Apparel Labeling Solutions (ALS), and Retail Merchandising Solutions (RMS). During the third quarter of 2013, we adjusted the product allocation between our SMS and ALS segments, renamed the SMS segment Merchandise Availability Solutions (MAS) and began reporting our segments as: Merchandise Availability Solutions, Apparel Labeling Solutions, and Retail Merchandising Solutions. The years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 have been conformed to reflect the segment change.
	ALS now includes the results of our radio frequency identification (RFID) labels business (previously reported in SMS), coupled with our data management platform and network of service bureaus that manage the printing of variable information on apparel labels and tags. This change aligns us with our refined ALS strategy to be a leading supplier of apparel labeling solutions, with expertise in intelligent apparel labels for item-level tracking and loss prevention. Our MAS segment, which is focused on loss prevention and Merchandise Visibility™ (RFID), includes EAS systems, EAS consumables, Alpha® high-theft solutions, RFID systems and software and non-U.S. and Canada-based CheckView®. There were no changes to the RMS Segment.

	DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
	Banking Security Systems Integration
	On October 1, 2012, we completed the sale of the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit for $3.5 million subject to closing adjustments related to a non-compete agreement and third-party consents. On October 1, 2012, we received cash proceeds of $1.2 million (net of selling costs) and a promissory note of $1.4 million from the purchaser. The note receivable is due in consecutive monthly installments beginning on November 1, 2012, with the last scheduled payment due on October 1, 2017. The promissory note bears interest at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 5.5%. The selling price is also subject to a contingent consideration payment up to a maximum amount of $0.9 million. The contingent payment is based on the purchaser's revenues for the first year of its ownership of the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit. If these revenues exceed $10 million, we are entitled to a contingent payment amount of 10.0% of the revenues above $10.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, not to exceed a total contingent consideration payment of $0.9 million. The loss on sale of the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit of $15 thousand was recorded through discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 30, 2012. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we received the contingent payment of $13 thousand, which is recorded through discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 29, 2013.
	Our discontinued operations reflect the operating results for the disposal group through the date of disposition. Impairments in 2011 and 2012 reflect write-downs to estimates of fair value less costs to sell the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit. These nonrecurring fair value measurements, which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were determined utilizing an expected selling price less costs to sell approach.
	In December, 2011, we classified our Banking Security Systems Integration business unit as held for sale. At December 25, 2011, the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit had recorded goodwill of $3.8 million related to a series of three acquisitions completed during 2007 and 2008. As a result of the conclusion to report the business as held for sale, we tested the goodwill of the disposal group and determined that there was a $3.4 million impairment charge. We also recorded an impairment of definite-lived customer relationships of $2.8 million as a result of our decision to sell the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit. The impairment charges were recorded in discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	During the second quarter of 2012, we performed an impairment test based on updated fair value information regarding the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit. As a result of this impairment test, we determined that there was a $0.4 million impairment charge in the goodwill reporting unit of our Shrink Management Solutions segment and a $0.7 million impairment of customer relationship intangible assets. During the third quarter of 2012, we performed an impairment test based on final negotiations of the selling price for the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit. As a result of this impairment test, we determined that there was an $0.8 million additional impairment of customer relationship intangible assets. These impairment charges were included in discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the second and third quarters ended June 24, 2012 and September 23, 2012, respectively.
	The results for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011 have been reclassified to show the results of operations for the Banking Security Systems Integration business unit as discontinued operations, net of tax, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Below is a summary of these results:

	(1)	As this business was located in the U.S. and a full valuation allowance was recorded in the U.S., there was no tax impact on the discontinued operations for the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012.
	The assets and liabilities associated with this business have been adjusted to fair value, less costs to sell, and reclassified into assets of discontinued operations held for sale and liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 25, 2011 the classification was as follows:
	(amounts in thousands)	25-Dec-11
	Accounts receivable, net	$	1,519
	Inventories	1,087

	Liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale	$	1,440
	U.S and Canada CheckView®
	In December of 2012, our U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business included in our Merchandise Availability Solutions segment met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The classification of this business as discontinued operations was determined to be a triggering event for testing goodwill impairment. As a result of this impairment test, we determined that there was a $3.3 million impairment charge of goodwill in our Merchandise Availability Solutions segment and a $0.3 million impairment of property, plant and equipment. These impairment charges were included in discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	Our discontinued operations reflect the operating results for the disposal group. Impairments in 2012 reflect write-downs to estimates of fair value less costs to sell the U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business. These nonrecurring fair value measurements, which fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, were determined utilizing an expected selling price less costs to sell approach.
	On March 19, 2013, we entered into an asset purchase agreement for the sale of our U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business for $5.4 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment to the extent that the net working capital of the business deviates from targeted working capital of $17.9 million.
	On April 28, 2013, we completed the sale of our U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business unit for $5.4 million less a working capital adjustment of $4.1 million to arrive at cash proceeds of $1.3 million received on April 29, 2013. We initially recorded a receivable from the buyer of $0.2 million as a working capital adjustment based on the closing balance sheet. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the buyer disputed some amounts on the closing balance sheet. As a result, we recorded a payable to the buyer of $0.9 million as a working capital adjustment based on the buyer’s preliminary review of the final closing balance sheet. We have incurred selling costs of $1.1 million in connection with the transaction. We also issued a guarantee to the lessor of the related facilities and executed a transition services agreement with the buyer to provide services including but not limited to standalone information technology environment setup access, systems modifications, human resources and payroll processing support. The transition services, which started in the first quarter of 2012, have various contract periods, ranging from 60 days to one year. The leases on the facilities for which we issued a guarantee terminate in 2018. Our maximum potential future payments under the guarantee are $4.3 million as of December 29, 2013. We have a lease guarantee liability of $0.1 million recorded in other current liabilities and other long term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 29, 2013. Direct costs incurred by us in connection with this agreement will be billed to the buyer on a monthly basis. Transition services income, net of transition services expense, was $0.1 million for the year ended December 29, 2013. This amount is included within other gain (loss), net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 29, 2013. Costs incurred to carve-out the CheckView® business from our enterprise resource planning system for the buyer totaled $0.4 million and is recorded through discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 29, 2013. The loss on our sale of the U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business of $13.6 million is recorded through discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 29, 2013.
	The results for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012, and December 25, 2011 have been reclassified to show the results of operations for the U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business as discontinued operations, net of tax, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Summary_Of_Significant_Account1

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 29, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Checkpoint Systems, Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries (Company). All inter-company transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fiscal Year	'
	Fiscal Year
	Our fiscal year is the 52 or 53 week period ending the last Sunday of December. References to 2013 and 2011 are for the 52 weeks ended December 29, 2013 and December 25, 2011, respectively; while references to 2012 are for the 53 weeks ended December 30, 2012.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications
	Certain reclassifications and retrospective adjustments have been made to prior period information to conform to the current period presentation.
Discontinued Operations	'
	Discontinued Operations
	We evaluate our businesses and product lines periodically for their strategic fit within our operations. In December 2011, we began actively marketing our Banking Security Systems Integration business unit and we completed its sale in October 2012. In December 2012, our U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business met held for sale reporting criteria. In connection with our decisions to sell these businesses, for all periods presented, the operating results associated with these businesses have been reclassified into earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The assets and liabilities associated with the U.S. and Canada based CheckView® business were adjusted to fair value, less costs to sell, and reclassified into assets of discontinued operations, net of tax and liabilities of discontinued operations, net of tax, as appropriate, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In April 2013, we completed the sale of our U.S and Canada based CheckView® business unit. Refer to Note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Assets Held For Sale	'
	Assets Held For Sale
	As a result of our restructuring plans, certain long-lived assets of our manufacturing facilities met held for sale criteria during the second quarter ended June 24, 2012 and $3.7 million of property, plant, and equipment, net was reclassified into other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. In the third quarter ended September 23, 2012, these long-lived assets of our manufacturing facilities were sold, resulting in a gain on sale of $0.8 million that was recognized in other exit costs within restructuring expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Sale of Subsidiary	'
	Sale of Subsidiary
	On November 15, 2012, we sold our Suzhou, China subsidiary, resulting in a gain on sale of $1.7 million that was recognized in other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Non-controlling Interests	'
	Non-controlling Interests
	On May 16, 2011, Checkpoint Holland Holding B.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 51% of the outstanding voting shares of Shore to Shore PVT Ltd. (Sri Lanka) in exchange for $1.7 million in cash.
	In January 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell our 51% interest in Sri Lanka to the unrelated party holding the non-controlling interest. On June 24, 2013, we completed the sale of our 51% interest for which we received cash proceeds of $0.2 million (net of a stamp duty). The gain on sale of $0.2 million is recorded within other operating income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Subsequent Events	'
	Subsequent Events
	We perform a review of subsequent events in connection with the preparation of our financial statements. The accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before our financial statements are issued or available to be issued are reflected where appropriate or required in our financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash in excess of operating requirements is invested in short-term, income-producing instruments or used to pay down debt. Cash equivalents include commercial paper and other securities with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. Book value approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Accounts Receivable	'
	Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivables are recorded at net realizable values. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. These allowances are based on specific facts and circumstances surrounding individual customers as well as our historical experience. Provisions for the losses on receivables are charged to income to maintain the allowance at a level considered adequate to cover losses. Receivables are charged off against the reserve when they are deemed uncollectible. From time to time, we sell customer related receivables to third party financial institutions and evaluate these transactions to determine if they meet the criteria for sale accounting treatment. If it is determined that the criteria for sale treatment is met, the receivables are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheet and earnings are reported on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. If it is determined that the criteria for sale accounting treatment are not met, the receivables remain on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and the transaction is treated as a secured financing.
	Cash proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable related to sales-type leases with customers to third party financial institutions totaled $29.3 million, $23.4 million, and $84.8 million for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and December 25, 2011, respectively. Proceeds from the initial sale of the accounts receivables are used to fund operations. This transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting treatment. We have presented the earnings of $0.4 million and $0.2 million recognized on the sale of the receivables separately in other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 25, 2011, respectively. There was no comparable earnings for the year ended December 30, 2012.
Inventories	'
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. A provision is made to reduce excess or obsolete inventory to its net realizable value.
Revenue Equipment on Operating Lease	'
	Revenue Equipment on Operating Lease
	The cost of the equipment leased to customers under operating leases is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the length of the contract or estimated useful life of the asset, which is usually between three and five years.
Property, Plant, and Equipment	'
	Property, Plant, and Equipment
	Property, plant, and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. Additions, improvements, and major renewals are capitalized. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Assets subject to capital leases are depreciated over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or length of the contract. Buildings, equipment rented to customers, and leased equipment on capitalized leases use the following estimated useful lives of fifteen to thirty years, three to five years, and five years, respectively. Machinery and equipment estimated useful lives range from three to ten years. Leasehold improvement useful lives are the lesser of the minimum lease term or the useful life of the item. The cost and accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts and the gain or loss on disposition is included in income.
	We review our property, plant, and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment, based on expected future undiscounted cash flows, exists, then the loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the impairment is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value.
Internal-Use Software	'
	Internal-Use Software
	Included in intangible assets is the capitalized cost of internal-use software. We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage of internal-use software and amortize these costs over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to seven years. Costs incurred related to design or maintenance of internal-use software is expensed as incurred.
	During 2009, we announced that we were in the initial stages of implementing a company-wide ERP system to handle the business and finance processes within our operations and corporate functions. As of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, $11.0 million and $18.3 million, respectively, were recorded in intangibles related to portions of the ERP system that were placed in service. In the fourth quarter of 2013, through the budgeting process, working capital prioritization activities, and other strategic direction reviews, it was determined that our European ERP system implementation was no longer a strategic priority for 2014 through 2016. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2013, we recorded an impairment of the $4.7 million in internal-use software related to the European ERP system implementation. The impairment charge was recorded in asset impairment expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We plan to implement our South China ALS ERP system by the end of 2016.
Goodwill	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill is carried at cost and is not amortized. We test goodwill for impairment on an annual basis as of fiscal month end October of each fiscal year, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and anticipated future cash flows. Company management uses its judgment in assessing whether goodwill has become impaired between annual impairment tests. Reporting units are primarily determined as the geographic areas comprising our business segments, except in situations when aggregation of the reporting units is appropriate. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process when we conclude a qualitative analysis is not sufficient. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the second step of the process involves a comparison of the implied fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. The nonrecurring fair value measurement of goodwill is developed using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). We considered whether applying a purely qualitative assessment of goodwill would be sufficient (i.e. a qualitative assessment without quantitative support and bypassing Step 1). Due to an impairment resulting from our most recent goodwill impairment test, we decided to proceed to Step 1 for all reporting units.
	The fair value of our reporting units is dependent upon our estimate of future discounted cash flows and other factors. Our estimates of future cash flows include assumptions concerning future operating performance and economic conditions and may differ from actual future cash flows. Estimated future cash flows are adjusted by an appropriate discount rate derived from our market capitalization plus a suitable control premium at the date of evaluation. The financial and credit market volatility directly impacts our fair value measurement through our weighted average cost of capital that we use to determine our discount rate and through our stock price that we use to determine our market capitalization. Therefore, changes in the stock price may also affect the amount of impairment recorded. Market capitalization is determined by multiplying the shares outstanding on the assessment date by the average market price of our common stock over a 30-day period before each assessment date. We use this 30-day duration to consider inherent market fluctuations that may affect any individual closing price. We believe that our market capitalization alone does not fully capture the fair value of our business as a whole, or the substantial value that an acquirer would obtain from its ability to obtain control of our business. As such, in determining fair value, we add a control premium to our market capitalization. To estimate the control premium, we considered our unique competitive advantages that would likely provide synergies to a market participant. In addition, we considered external market factors which we believe contributed to the decline and volatility in our stock price that did not reflect our underlying fair value. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Intangibles	'
	Other Intangibles
	Indefinite-lived intangible assets are carried at cost and are not amortized, but are subject to tests for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
	Definite-lived intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives (or legal lives if shorter). We review our other intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.
	If it is determined that an impairment, based on expected future cash flows, exists, then the loss is recognized on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amount of the impairment is the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over the fair value of the asset. The fair value represents expected future cash flows from the use of the assets, discounted at the rate used to evaluate potential investments. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other Assets	'
	Other Assets
	Included in other assets are $3.5 million and $6.0 million of net long-term customer-based receivables at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.
Deferred Financing Costs	'
	Deferred Financing Costs
	Financing costs are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt. The net deferred financing costs at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012 were $2.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The financing cost amortization expense was $2.2 million, $2.3 million, and $1.1 million, for 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	We recognize revenue when revenue is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and collectability is reasonably assured.
	We enter into contracts to sell our products and services, and, while the majority of our sales agreements contain standard terms and conditions, there are agreements that contain multiple elements or non-standard terms and conditions. As a result, significant contract interpretation is sometimes required to determine the appropriate accounting, including whether the deliverables specified in a multiple element arrangement should be treated as separate units of accounting for revenue recognition purposes, and, if so, how the selling price should be allocated among the elements and when to recognize revenue for each element.
	For arrangements with multiple elements, we allocate total arrangement consideration to all deliverables based on their relative selling price using a specific hierarchy and recognize revenue when each element’s revenue recognition criteria are met. The hierarchy is as follows: vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”), third-party evidence of selling price (“TPE”) or best estimate of selling price (“BESP”). VSOE of fair value for each element is established based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. We recognize revenue when installation is complete or other post-shipment obligations have been satisfied. Unearned revenue is recorded when payments are received in advance of performing our service obligations and is recognized over the service period.
	Products leased to customers under sales-type leases are accounted for as the equivalent of a sale. The present value of such lease revenues is recorded as net revenues, and the related cost of the products is charged to cost of revenues. The deferred finance charges applicable to these leases are recognized over the terms of the leases. Rental revenue from products under operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease. Installation revenue from SMS EAS products is recognized when the systems are installed. Service revenue is recognized, for service contracts, on a straight-line basis over the contractual period, and, for non-contract work, as services are performed.
	Revenues from software license agreements are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, no significant vendor obligations are remaining to be fulfilled, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. Revenue from software contracts for both licenses and professional services that require significant production, modification, customization, or implementation are recognized together using the percentage of completion method based upon the ratio of labor incurred to total estimated labor to complete each contract. In instances where there is a term license combined with services, revenue is recognized ratably over the term.
	We record estimated reductions to revenue for customer incentive offerings, including volume-based incentives and rebates. The accrual for these incentives and rebates, which are included in the Other Accrued Expenses section of our Consolidated Balance Sheet, was $11.1 million and $15.2 million as of December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively. We record revenues net of an allowance for estimated return activities and pricing adjustments. Return activity was immaterial to revenue and results of operations for all periods presented.
Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs	'
	Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
	Shipping and handling fees charged to our customers are accounted for in net revenues and shipping and handling costs in cost of revenues.
Cost of Revenues	'
	Cost of Revenues
	The principal elements of cost of revenues are product cost, field service and installation cost, freight, and product royalties paid to third parties.
Warranty Reserves	'
	Warranty Reserves
	We provide product warranties for our various products. These warranties vary in length depending on product and geographical region. We establish our warranty reserves based on historical data of warranty transactions.
	The following table sets forth the movement in the warranty reserve which is located in the Other Accrued Expenses section of our Consolidated Balance Sheet:
	(amounts in thousands)	December 29, 2013			December 30, 2012
	Balance at beginning of year	$	3,995		$	5,857
	Accruals for warranties issued	4,665			5,205
	Settlements made	(4,148		)	(5,429		)
	Adjustment for discontinued operations	—			(1,668		)
	Foreign currency translation adjustment	9			30
	Balance at end of period	$	4,521		$	3,995
Royalty Expense	'
	Royalty Expense
	Royalty expenses related to security products approximated $0.6 million, $0.2 million, and $0.2 million, in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. These expenses are included as part of cost of revenues.
Research and Development Costs	'
	Research and Development Costs
	Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and consist of development work associated with our existing and potential products and processes. Our research and development expenses relate primarily to payroll costs for engineering personnel, costs associated with various projects, including testing, developing prototypes and related expenses.
Stock Options	'
	Stock Options
	We recognize stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payments net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost for those shares expected to vest. Stock compensation expense is recognized for all share-based payments on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.
	We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to value all stock options. The table below presents the weighted average expected life in years. The expected life computation is based on historical exercise patterns and post-vesting termination behavior. Volatility is determined using changes in historical stock prices. The interest rate for periods within the expected life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
	The fair value of share-based payment units was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions and weighted average fair values as follows:
	Year Ended	29-Dec-13			30-Dec-12			25-Dec-11
	Weighted-average fair value of grants	$	5.46		$	4.38		$	9.74
	Valuation assumptions:
	Expected dividend yield	0		%	0		%	0		%
	Expected volatility	50.79		%	52.08		%	49.91		%
	Expected life (in years)	5.08			5.06			4.98
	Risk-free interest rate	0.835		%	0.75		%	2.138		%
	Refer to Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	Deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, using enacted statutory tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Changes in enacted tax rates are reflected in the tax provision as they occur. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted.
	We utilize a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions (tax contingencies). The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.  We include interest and penalties related to our tax contingencies in income tax expense.
Taxes and Value Added Collected from Customers	'
	Sales and Value Added Taxes Collected from Customers
	Sales and value added taxes collected from customers are excluded from revenues. The obligation is included in other current liabilities until the taxes are remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	'
	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
	Our balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet dates. Revenues, costs, and expenses of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-to-date average rate of exchange. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on certain long-term inter-company transactions are excluded from the net earnings (loss) and accumulated in the cumulative translation adjustment as a separate component of Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity. All other foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net earnings (loss) on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Accounting for Hedging Activities	'
	Accounting for Hedging Activities
	We enter into certain foreign exchange forward contracts in order to hedge anticipated rate fluctuations in Western Europe, Canada, Japan and Australia. Transaction gains or losses resulting from these contracts are recognized at the end of each reporting period. We use the fair value method of accounting, recording realized and unrealized gains and losses on these contracts. These gains and losses are included in other gain (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	We enter into various foreign currency contracts to reduce our exposure to forecasted Euro-denominated inter-company revenues. These cash flow hedging instruments are marked to market and the changes are recorded in other comprehensive income. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income are recognized in cost of goods sold as the inventory is sold to external parties. Any hedge ineffectiveness is charged to other gain (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
	We enter, on occasion, into interest rate swaps to reduce the risk of significant interest rate increases in connection with floating rate debt. This cash flow hedging instrument is marked to market and the changes are recorded in other comprehensive income. Any hedge ineffectiveness is charged to interest expense. Refer to Note 14 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	'
	New Accounting Pronouncements and Other Standards
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, "Balance Sheet – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Topic 210-20)," (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, with retrospective application for all comparable periods presented. The adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, “Obligations Resulting From Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date,” (ASU 2013-04). The update requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed as of the reporting date as the sum of the obligation the entity agreed to pay among its co-obligors and any additional amount the entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for those obligations that existed upon adoption of the ASU. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity,” (ASU 2013-05). The update clarifies that complete or substantially complete liquidation of a foreign entity is required to release the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) for transactions occurring within a foreign entity. However, transactions impacting investments in a foreign entity may result in a full or partial release of CTA even though complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity has not occurred. Furthermore, for transactions involving step acquisitions, the CTA associated with the previous equity-method investment will be fully released when control is obtained and consolidation occurs. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013. We will apply the guidance prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
	In April 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-07, “Liquidation Basis of Accounting,” (ASU 2013-07). The objective of ASU 2013-07 is to clarify when an entity should apply the liquidation basis of accounting and to provide principles for the measurement of assets and liabilities under the liquidation basis of accounting, as well as any required disclosures. The ASU is effective prospectively for entities that determine liquidation is imminent during annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods therein. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
