The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the consolidated statement of shareholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are unaudited. The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012 was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the consolidated financial statements are included. Adjustments consist only of normal recurring items, except for any discussed in the notes below. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q, and do not contain certain information included in our annual consolidated financial statements and notes. The consolidated financial statements and notes appearing in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated audited financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). | |

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New accounting pronouncements | New accounting pronouncements |
On January 1, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard requires that companies present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements, including the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the line item on the statement of comprehensive income affected by the reclassification adjustment. The disclosures required by this new standard are presented in Note 5: Other comprehensive income. | |
ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, became effective for us on January 1, 2013. Under this new guidance, companies have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, then a quantitative assessment must be completed. We completed the annual impairment analysis of our indefinite-lived trade name during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. We elected to complete a quantitative assessment of the asset, the results of which are presented in Note 8: Fair value measurements. | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This standard provides guidance regarding when an unrecognized tax benefit should be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or when it should be classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet. | |

Acquisitions | Acquisitions |
In August 2013, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Acton Marketing, LLC (Acton) in a cash transaction for $4,095, net of cash acquired. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. Acton is a provider of direct marketing services for financial institutions. The allocation of the purchase price based upon the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in tax-deductible goodwill of $1,459. The acquisition resulted in goodwill as we expect to accelerate revenue growth in marketing solutions and other services by combining the Acton business with our existing marketing solutions, bringing the best of these collective programs to both the Deluxe and Acton customer bases. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred and were not significant to the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations of this business from its acquisition date are included in our Financial Services segment. Acquired intangible assets consisted of customer relationships with an aggregate value of $3,600. These assets have a weighted-average useful life of 5 years and are being amortized in relation to the expected cash flows. Further information regarding the calculation of the estimated fair values of these assets can be found in Note 8. | |
In June 2013, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of VerticalResponse, Inc. in a cash transaction for $27,299, net of cash acquired. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. VerticalResponse is a provider of self-service marketing solutions for small businesses, including email marketing, social media, online event marketing, postcard marketing and on-line surveys. The allocation of the purchase price based upon the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in goodwill of $18,735. This amount decreased $2,190 from June 30, 2013, as we finalized the valuation of intangibles and deferred income taxes during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The acquisition resulted in goodwill as we expect to accelerate revenue growth in marketing solutions and other services by adding VerticalResponse's established customer base and online promotional and internet marketing capabilities. Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred and were not significant to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The results of operations of this business from its acquisition date are included in our Small Business Services segment. | |
Intangible assets acquired in the VerticalResponse acquisition consisted primarily of customer relationships with an aggregate value of $9,400 and a weighted-average useful life of 9 years, as well as internal-use software with an aggregate value of $4,200 and a weighted-average useful life of 4 years. The customer relationships are being amortized in relation to the expected cash flows and the internal-use software is being amortized using the straight-line method. Further information regarding the calculation of the estimated fair values of these assets can be found in Note 8. | |
During 2013, we also acquired the operations of small business distributors for aggregate cash payments of $16,720. The assets acquired consisted primarily of customer lists which we are actively marketing and anticipate selling within one year of their acquisition dates. As such, the assets and liabilities of these distributors are designated as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets. Further information regarding net assets held for sale can be found in Note 3, and information regarding the calculation of the estimated fair values of the acquired assets can be found in Note 8. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||
Derivative financial instruments | Derivative financial instruments | ||||||||||||||
We have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in the fair value of a portion of our long-term debt. We entered into these swaps, which we designated as fair value hedges, to achieve a targeted mix of fixed and variable rate debt, where we receive a fixed rate and pay a variable rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps and the related long-term debt are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The interest rate swaps related to our long-term debt due in 2020 meet the criteria for using the short-cut method for a fair value hedge based on the structure of the hedging relationship. As such, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the related long-term debt are equal. The short-cut method is not being used for the interest rate swaps related to our long-term debt due in 2014. When the change in the fair value of these interest rate swaps and the hedged debt are not equal (i.e., hedge ineffectiveness), the difference in the changes in fair value affects the reported amount of interest expense in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Information regarding hedge ineffectiveness in each period is presented in Note 8. | |||||||||||||||

2013 annual impairment analysis – We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill and our indefinite-lived trade name as of July 31 of each year and between annual evaluations if events or circumstances occur that would indicate a possible impairment. As such, during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, we completed our annual impairment analyses. | |||||||||||||||||||||
In completing our 2013 annual goodwill impairment analysis, we elected to perform a qualitative assessment for all of our reporting units to which goodwill is assigned. This qualitative analysis evaluated factors including, but not limited to, economic, market and industry conditions, cost factors and the overall financial performance of the reporting units. We also considered the most recent quantitative analysis we completed as of July 31, 2010, in which the estimated fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values by amounts between $43,000 and $546,000, or by amounts between 55% and 442% above the carrying values of their net assets. In completing our 2013 qualitative analysis, we noted no changes in events or circumstances which would require us to complete the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment analysis for any of our reporting units. | |||||||||||||||||||||
In completing the 2013 annual impairment analysis of our indefinite-lived trade name, we elected to perform a quantitative assessment. The estimate of the fair value of this asset is based on a relief from royalty method which calculates the cost savings associated with owning rather than licensing the trade name. An assumed royalty rate is applied to forecasted revenue and the resulting cash flows are discounted. Should the estimated fair value be less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss would be recognized for this difference. The impairment analysis completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2013 indicated that the calculated fair value of the indefinite-lived trade name exceeded its carrying value of $19,100 by approximately $14,000. Because the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value, no impairment charge was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||||||
2013 acquisitions – For all acquisitions, we are required to measure the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, excluding goodwill and deferred income taxes. The identifiable net assets acquired during 2013 were comprised primarily of customer relationships associated with the acquisitions of VerticalResponse, Inc. and Acton Marketing, LLC (Note 6) and internal-use software associated with the acquisition of VerticalResponse. The fair value of the customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. Assumptions used in this calculation included same-customer revenue growth rates and estimated customer retention rates based on the acquirees' historical information. The aggregate calculated fair value of customer relationships acquired during 2013 was $13,000. The fair value of the acquired internal-use software was estimated using a cost of reproduction method. The primary components of the software were identified and the estimated cost to reproduce the software was calculated. As the software was recently developed, the estimated cost to reproduce was based on the actual time and labor rates incurred by the acquiree. The calculated fair value of the acquired internal-use software was $4,200. | |||||||||||||||||||||
In addition to the VerticalResponse and Acton acquisitions, we also acquired the operations of small business distributors during 2013 for aggregate cash payments of $16,720. The assets acquired consisted primarily of the distributors' customer lists which we anticipate selling to our Safeguard® distributors. The fair value of the customer lists is based on the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated via the acquired customer lists. These assets are held for sale and thus, are not being amortized. Further information regarding net assets held for sale can be found in Note 3. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Recurring fair value measurements – Cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 included available-for-sale marketable securities (Note 3). These securities consist of investments in money market funds which are traded in active markets. As such, the fair value of the securities is determined based on quoted market prices. Because of the short-term nature of the underlying investments, the cost of these securities approximates their fair value. The cost of securities sold is determined using the average cost method. No gains or losses on sales of these marketable securities were realized during the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Funds held for customers included available-for-sale marketable securities (Note 3). These securities consist of a mutual fund investment which invests in Canadian and provincial government securities, as well as an investment in a six-month Canadian guaranteed investment certificate (GIC). The mutual fund is not traded in an active market and its fair value is determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets for the underlying securities held by the fund. The fair value of the GIC approximates cost due to its relatively short duration. Unrealized gains and losses on the Canadian mutual fund investment, net of tax, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets. The cost of securities sold is determined using the average cost method. Realized gains and losses are included in revenue on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were not significant for the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Other current assets included available-for-sale marketable securities (Note 3). These securities consist of a Canadian money market fund which is not traded in an active market. As such, the fair value of this investment is determined by obtaining quoted prices in active markets for the underlying securities held by the fund. Because of the short-term nature of the underlying investments, the cost of these securities approximates their fair value. The cost of securities sold is determined using the average cost method. No gains or losses on sales of these marketable securities were realized during the quarters or nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||
We have elected to account for a long-term investment in domestic mutual funds under the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value option provides companies an irrevocable option to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The investment is included in long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. Long-term investments also include the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance policies. Realized and unrealized gains and losses, as well as dividends earned by the mutual fund investment, are included in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This investment corresponds to a liability under an officers’ deferred compensation plan which is not available to new participants and is fully funded by the investment in mutual funds. The liability under the plan equals the fair value of the investment in mutual funds. Thus, as the value of the investment changes, the value of the liability changes accordingly. As changes in the liability are reflected within SG&A expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the fair value option of accounting for the investment in mutual funds allows us to net changes in the investment and the related liability in the statements of comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is determined using the average cost method. During the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, net realized gains were not significant. We recognized net unrealized gains of $140 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $120 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of interest rate swaps (Note 7) is determined at each reporting date by means of a pricing model utilizing readily observable market interest rates. The change in fair value is determined as the change in the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted using the LIBOR rate. The interest rate swaps related to our long-term debt due in 2020 meet the criteria for using the short-cut method for a fair value hedge based on the structure of the hedging relationship. As such, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and related long-term debt are equal. The short-cut method is not being used for our other interest rate swaps. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps, as well as changes in the fair value of the hedged debt, are included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income and were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||||||

Fair value measurements of other financial instruments – The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Cash, excluding cash equivalents, and cash included within funds held for customers – The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Loans and notes receivable from distributors – We have receivables for loans made to our Safeguard® distributors. In addition, we have acquired the operations of several small business distributors which we then sold to our Safeguard distributors. In most cases, we entered into notes receivable upon the sale of the assets to the distributors. The fair value of these loans and notes receivable is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted using an interest rate based on published bond yields, adjusted for companies of similar risk. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Long-term debt – For those notes traded in an active market, the fair value of long-term debt is based on quoted prices for identical liabilities when traded as assets in an active market. As of December 31, 2012, our long-term debt issued in November 2012 was not traded in an active market. As such, the fair value as of that date was determined by means of a pricing model utilizing readily observable market interest rates. As these notes began trading in an active market during the second quarter of 2013, the fair value of these notes was reported as a Level 1 fair value measurement as of September 30, 2013. The fair value of long-term debt included in the table below does not reflect the impact of hedging activity. The carrying amount of long-term debt includes the change in fair value of hedged long-term debt. | |||||||||||||||||||||

2013 restructuring charges – During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the net restructuring accruals included severance charges related to employee reductions across functional areas as we continue to reduce costs. The restructuring accruals included severance benefits for approximately 75 employees for the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and severance benefits for approximately 125 employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. These charges were reduced by the reversal of restructuring accruals recorded primarily in previous years, as fewer employees received severance benefits than originally estimated. Other restructuring costs, which were expensed as incurred, included items such as employee and equipment moves, training and travel related to our restructuring activities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2012 restructuring charges – During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the net restructuring accruals included severance charges related to employee reductions across functional areas as we continued to reduce costs. Restructuring charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 also included severance charges related to the closing of two customer call centers during the third quarter of 2012 and the closing of two printing facilities in the fourth quarter of 2012. The restructuring accruals included severance benefits for approximately 80 employees for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and severance benefits for approximately 275 employees for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. These charges were reduced by the reversal of restructuring accruals recorded primarily in previous years, as fewer employees received severance benefits than originally estimated. Other restructuring costs, which were expensed as incurred, included items such as employee and equipment moves, training and travel related to our restructuring activities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Restructuring accruals of $3,851 as of September 30, 2013 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accrued liabilities of $3,792 and other non-current liabilities of $59. Restructuring accruals of $4,650 as of December 31, 2012 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as accrued liabilities of $4,507 and other non-current liabilities of $143. The majority of the employee reductions are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2014, and we expect most of the related severance payments to be paid by mid-2014, utilizing cash from operations. The remaining payments due under operating lease obligations will be paid through February 2015. As of September 30, 2013, approximately 80 employees had not yet started to receive severance benefits.

All of our notes include covenants that place certain restrictions on the issuance of additional debt and limitations on certain liens. If our ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to interest expense, as defined in such instruments, falls below two to one, there would be additional limitations on our ability to issue additional debt. The notes due in 2020 and 2019 also include limitations on our ability to issue redeemable stock and preferred stock, make loans and investments, and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. Absent certain defined events of default under our debt instruments, and as long as our ratio of EBITDA to interest expense is in excess of two to one, our debt covenants do not restrict our ability to pay cash dividends at our current rate, although there are aggregate annual limits on the amount of dividends and share repurchases under the terms of our credit facility, as well as a cumulative limit on such payments through the term of the credit facility. | |||||||||
In November 2012, we issued $200,000 of 6.0% senior notes maturing on November 15, 2020. The notes were issued via a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These notes were subsequently registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) via a registration statement which became effective on April 3, 2013. Interest payments are due each May and November. The notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and place a limitation on restricted payments, including share repurchases and increases in dividend levels. The limitation on restricted payments does not apply if the notes are upgraded to an investment-grade credit rating. Financial information for the guarantor subsidiaries can be found in Note 15. At any time prior to November 15, 2015, we may on one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the original principal amount of the notes with the proceeds of one or more equity offerings at a redemption price of 106% of the principal amount of the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest. At any time prior to November 15, 2016, we may also redeem some or all of the notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium. At any time on or after November 15, 2016, we may redeem some or all of the notes at prices ranging from 100% to 103% of the principal amount. If at any time we sell certain of our assets or experience specific types of changes in control, we must offer to purchase all of the outstanding notes at 101% of the principal amount. Proceeds from the offering, net of offering costs, were $196,340. These proceeds were used to retire our senior notes which were due in June 2015. The fair value of the notes issued in November 2012 was $205,000 as of September 30, 2013, based on quoted prices for identical liabilities when traded as assets. As discussed in Note 7, we have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge these notes. | |||||||||
In March 2011, we issued $200,000 of 7.0% senior notes maturing on March 15, 2019. The notes were issued via a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These notes were subsequently registered with the SEC via a registration statement which became effective on January 10, 2012. Interest payments are due each March and September. The notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries and place a limitation on restricted payments, including share repurchases and increases in dividend levels. The limitation on restricted payments does not apply if the notes are upgraded to an investment-grade credit rating. Financial information for the guarantor subsidiaries can be found in Note 15.

If at any time we sell certain of our assets or experience specific types of changes in control, we must offer to purchase all of the outstanding notes at 101% of the principal amount. Proceeds from the offering, net of offering costs, were $196,195. These proceeds were used to retire a portion of our senior, unsecured notes due in 2012. The fair value of the notes issued in March 2011 was $213,750 as of September 30, 2013, based on quoted prices for identical liabilities when traded as assets. | |||||||||
In October 2004, we issued $275,000 of 5.125% senior, unsecured notes maturing on October 1, 2014. The notes were issued via a private placement under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These notes were subsequently registered with the SEC via a registration statement which became effective on November 23, 2004. Interest payments are due each April and October. Proceeds from the offering, net of offering costs, were $272,276. These proceeds were used to repay commercial paper borrowings used for the acquisition of New England Business Service, Inc. in 2004. During 2011, we retired $10,000 of these notes and during 2009, we retired $11,500 of these notes. As of September 30, 2013, the fair value of the $253,500 remaining notes outstanding was $262,005 based on quoted prices for identical liabilities when traded as assets. As discussed in Note 7, we have entered into interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of these notes. | |||||||||
As of September 30, 2013, we had capital lease obligations of $1,796 related to information technology hardware. The lease obligations will be paid through August 2017.

As of September 30, 2013, we had a $200,000 credit facility, which expires in February 2017. Our commitment fee ranges from 0.20% to 0.45% based on our leverage ratio. Borrowings under the credit facility are collateralized by substantially all of our personal and intangible property. The credit agreement governing the credit facility contains customary covenants regarding limits on levels of subsidiary indebtedness and capital expenditures, liens, investments, acquisitions, certain mergers, certain asset sales outside the ordinary course of business, and change in control as defined in the agreement. The agreement also contains financial covenants regarding our leverage ratio, interest coverage and liquidity. No amounts were outstanding under our credit facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 or during 2012.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Other commitments and contingencies | Other commitments and contingencies |
Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, we periodically enter into agreements that incorporate general indemnification language. These indemnifications encompass third-party claims arising from our products and services, including service failures, breach of security, intellectual property rights, governmental regulations and/or employment-related matters. Performance under these indemnities would generally be triggered by our breach of the terms of the contract. In disposing of assets or businesses, we often provide representations, warranties and/or indemnities to cover various risks including, for example, unknown damage to the assets, environmental risks involved in the sale of real estate, liability to investigate and remediate environmental contamination at waste disposal sites and manufacturing facilities, and unidentified tax liabilities and legal fees related to periods prior to disposition. We do not have the ability to estimate the potential liability from such indemnities because they relate to unknown conditions. However, we have no reason to believe that any possible liability under these indemnities would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, annual results of operations or annual cash flows. We have recorded liabilities for known indemnifications related to environmental matters. | |
Environmental matters – We are currently involved in environmental compliance, investigation and remediation activities at some of our current and former sites, primarily printing facilities of our Financial Services and Small Business Services segments which have been sold. Remediation costs are accrued on an undiscounted basis when the obligations are either known or considered probable and can be reasonably estimated. Remediation or testing costs that result directly from the sale of an asset and which we would not have otherwise incurred are considered direct costs of the sale of the asset. As such, they are included in our measurement of the carrying value of the asset sold. | |
Accruals for environmental matters were $8,400 as of September 30, 2013 and $8,446 as of December 31, 2012, primarily related to facilities which have been sold. These accruals are included in accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued costs consist of direct costs of the remediation activities, primarily fees which will be paid to outside engineering and consulting firms. Although recorded accruals include our best estimates, our total costs cannot be predicted with certainty due to various factors such as the extent of corrective action that may be required, evolving environmental laws and regulations and advances in environmental technology. Where the available information is sufficient to estimate the amount of the liability, that estimate is used. Where the information is only sufficient to establish a range of probable liability and no point within the range is more likely than any other, the lower end of the range is recorded. We do not believe that the range of possible outcomes could have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Expense reflected in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income for environmental matters was $1,085 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and $681 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. | |
As of September 30, 2013, $4,325 of the costs included in our environmental accruals were covered by an environmental insurance policy which we purchased during 2002. The insurance policy covers up to $12,911 of remediation costs, of which $8,586 had been paid through September 30, 2013. This insurance policy does not cover properties acquired subsequent to 2002. However, costs included in our environmental accruals for such properties were not material as of September 30, 2013. We do not anticipate significant net cash outlays for environmental matters in 2013. The insurance policy also covers up to $10,000 of third-party claims through 2032 at certain owned, leased and divested sites, as well as any new conditions discovered at certain owned or leased sites through 2012. We consider the realization of recovery under the insurance policy to be probable based on the insurance contract in place with a reputable and financially-sound insurance company. As our environmental accruals include our best estimates of these costs, we have recorded receivables from the insurance company within other current assets and other non-current assets based on the amounts of our environmental accruals for insured sites. | |
We also have an additional environmental site liability insurance policy providing coverage on facilities which we acquired subsequent to 2002. This policy covers liability for claims of bodily injury or property damage arising from pollution events at the covered facilities. The policy also provides remediation coverage should we be required by a governing authority to perform remediation activities at the covered sites. The policy provides coverage of up to $15,000 through April 2019. No accruals have been recorded in our consolidated financial statements for any of the events contemplated in this insurance policy. | |
Self-insurance – We are self-insured for certain costs, primarily workers' compensation claims and medical and dental benefits. The liabilities associated with these items represent our best estimate of the ultimate obligations for reported claims plus those incurred, but not reported. The liability for workers' compensation, which totaled $4,129 as of September 30, 2013 and $4,471 as of December 31, 2012, is accounted for on a discounted basis. The difference between the discounted and undiscounted workers' compensation liability was $34 as of September 30, 2013 and $20 as of December 31, 2012. We record liabilities for medical and dental benefits for active employees and those employees on long-term disability. Our liability for active employees is not recorded on a discounted basis as we expect the benefits to be paid in a relatively short period of time. Our liability for those employees on long-term disability is accounted for on a discounted basis. Our total liability for these medical and dental benefits totaled $3,282 as of September 30, 2013 and $3,872 as of December 31, 2012. The difference between the discounted and undiscounted medical and dental liability was $146 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. | |
Our self-insurance liabilities are estimated, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors and other actuarial assumptions. The estimated accruals for these liabilities could be significantly affected if future events and claims differ from these assumptions and historical trends. | |

Shares outstanding – In April 2013, we issued 193 shares to the previous owners of Banker's Dashboard, LLC, a company we acquired in April 2011. The purchase agreement for Banker's Dashboard required the accelerated issuance of these shares two years after the closing of the acquisition based on the retention of certain Banker's Dashboard employees. The fair value of the shares was recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of acquisition. | |
Share repurchases – We have an outstanding authorization from our board of directors to purchase up to 10,000 shares of our common stock. This authorization has no expiration date, and 3,397 shares remained available for purchase under this authorization as of September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we repurchased 861 shares for $33,798. | |

Business segment information | Business segment information | ||||||||||||||||||||||
We operate three reportable business segments: Small Business Services, Financial Services and Direct Checks. Our business segments are generally organized by type of customer served and reflect the way we manage the company. Small Business Services promotes and sells products and services to small businesses via mail and the internet, referrals from financial institutions and telecommunications clients, a network of distributors and dealers, and a direct sales force which focuses on major accounts. These efforts are supplemented by the account development efforts of an outbound telemarketing group. Financial Services' products and services are sold through multiple channels, including a direct sales force, to financial institution clients nationwide, including banks, credit unions and financial services companies. Direct Checks sells products and services directly to consumers using direct response marketing via mail and the internet. All three segments operate primarily in the United States. Small Business Services also has operations in Canada and portions of Europe. Our product and service offerings are comprised of the following: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Checks – We remain one of the largest providers of checks in the United States, both in terms of revenue and the number of checks produced. Checks account for the majority of the revenue in our Financial Services and Direct Checks segments and represented 45.4% of our Small Business Services segment's revenue in 2012. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Forms – Our Small Business Services segment provides printed forms to small businesses, including deposit tickets, billing forms, work orders, job proposals, purchase orders, invoices and personnel forms. This segment also offers computer forms compatible with accounting software packages commonly used by small businesses. Forms sold by our Financial Services and Direct Checks segments include deposit tickets and check registers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Accessories and other products – Small Business Services provides products designed to provide small business owners with the customized documents necessary to efficiently manage their business including envelopes, office supplies, stamps and labels, as well as retail packaging supplies. Our Financial Services and Direct Checks segments offer checkbook covers and stamps. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Marketing solutions – All three of our segments offer products and services that help small businesses and/or financial institutions promote their businesses and acquire customers. Our Small Business Services segment offers services designed to fulfill the sales and marketing needs of small businesses such as web design, hosting and other web services, search engine optimization, marketing services, including email, mobile, social media and other self-service marketing solutions, digital printing services and logo design. In addition, Small Business Services offers products such as promotional products, postcards, brochures, apparel, greeting cards and business cards. Financial Services offers various customer acquisition programs and marketing communications services, while Direct Checks provides package insert programs under which companies' marketing materials are included in our check packages. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
Other services – All three of our segments provide fraud protection and security services. In addition, our Small Business Services segment offers payroll services, and Financial Services provides financial institution profitability and risk management services. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2012 Form 10-K. We allocate corporate costs for our shared services functions to our business segments, including costs of our executive management, human resources, supply chain, finance, information technology and legal functions. Generally, where costs incurred are directly attributable to a business segment, primarily within the areas of information technology, supply chain and finance, those costs are charged directly to that segment. Because we use a shared services approach for many of our functions, certain costs are not directly attributable to a business segment. These costs are allocated to our business segments based on segment revenue, as revenue is a measure of the relative size and magnitude of each segment and indicates the level of corporate shared services consumed by each segment. Corporate assets are not allocated to the segments and consist of property, plant and equipment, internal-use software, inventories and supplies related to our corporate shared services functions of manufacturing, information technology and real estate, as well as long-term investments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
We are an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations and the sharing of assets. Therefore, we do not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the operating income and other financial information shown. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Supplemental guarantor financial information | Supplemental guarantor financial information | ||||||||||||||||||||
Our long-term notes due in 2019 and 2020 (Note 11), as well as obligations under our credit facility, are jointly and severally guaranteed on a full and unconditional basis, subject to the release provisions described herein, by certain 100%-owned subsidiaries. The subsidiary guarantees with respect to our long-term notes are subject to release upon the occurrence of certain events: the sale of all or substantially all of a subsidiary's assets, when the requirements for defeasance of the guaranteed securities have been satisfied, when the subsidiary is declared an unrestricted subsidiary, or upon satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. | |||||||||||||||||||||
The following condensed supplemental consolidating financial information reflects the summarized financial information of Deluxe Corporation, the guarantors on a combined basis and the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis. Separate financial statements of the guarantors are not presented because the guarantors are jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally liable under the guarantees, subject to the release provisions described herein, and we believe that the condensed consolidating financial statements presented are sufficient to provide an understanding of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the guarantors. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013, additional subsidiaries were designated as guarantor entities. As such, the presentation of prior period information for the guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries and eliminations was modified to reflect these entities as guarantors for all periods presented. In addition, the presentation of total cost of revenue and total operating expenses for Deluxe Corporation for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was modified to conform to the current year presentation. This correction had no impact on our consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||||||
We are an integrated enterprise, characterized by substantial intersegment cooperation, cost allocations and the sharing of assets. Therefore, we do not represent that the financial information presented is indicative of the financial position, results of operations or cash flows which the entities would have reported if they had operated independently. The condensed consolidating financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements. | |||||||||||||||||||||

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
New accounting pronouncements | New accounting pronouncements |
On January 1, 2013, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This standard requires that companies present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in a single note or on the face of the financial statements, including the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the line item on the statement of comprehensive income affected by the reclassification adjustment. The disclosures required by this new standard are presented in Note 5: Other comprehensive income. | |
ASU No. 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, became effective for us on January 1, 2013. Under this new guidance, companies have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired, then a quantitative assessment must be completed. We completed the annual impairment analysis of our indefinite-lived trade name during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. We elected to complete a quantitative assessment of the asset, the results of which are presented in Note 8: Fair value measurements. | |
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This standard provides guidance regarding when an unrecognized tax benefit should be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset or when it should be classified as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our consolidated balance sheet. | |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Long-term investments | We have elected to account for a long-term investment in domestic mutual funds under the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The fair value option provides companies an irrevocable option to measure many financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The investment is included in long-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. Long-term investments also include the cash surrender values of company-owned life insurance policies. Realized and unrealized gains and losses, as well as dividends earned by the mutual fund investment, are included in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. This investment corresponds to a liability under an officers’ deferred compensation plan which is not available to new participants and is fully funded by the investment in mutual funds. The liability under the plan equals the fair value of the investment in mutual funds. Thus, as the value of the investment changes, the value of the liability changes accordingly. As changes in the liability are reflected within SG&A expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, the fair value option of accounting for the investment in mutual funds allows us to net changes in the investment and the related liability in the statements of comprehensive income. The cost of securities sold is determined using the average cost method. |
