Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
	The significant accounting policies of Schawk, Inc. (“Schawk” or the “Company”) are included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”). There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies since December 31, 2012.
	Interim Financial Statements
	The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Certain previously reported immaterial amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been recorded.
	The Company has changed the presentation of certain expense items on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) from the 2012 Form 10-K. The Company previously presented cost of goods sold with a sub-total for gross profit; however, in order to be consistent with how management views the business, production expenses are now presented as cost of services and the gross profit sub-total has been eliminated. In addition, depreciation and amortization is now excluded from and presented separately for both cost of services and selling, general and administrative expenses. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
	These financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and have been prepared in conformity with, the accounting principles reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the three years ended December 31, 2012, as filed with its 2012 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The amendments in ASU 2013-02 supersede and replace the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 for all public and private organizations. The amendments would require an entity to provide additional information about reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 effective January 1, 2013. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The amendments in ASU 2013-11 provide guidance on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in ASU 2013-11 are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The Company will be adopting ASU 2013-11 effective January 1, 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Unbilled Services [Abstract]
Unbilled Services	Note 2 – Unbilled Services
	The Company’s unbilled services consist primarily of unbilled labor and production overhead, as well as production supplies. Production supplies are stated at the lower of cost or market.
	The Company’s unbilled services are primarily valued on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis, with the exception of two of the Company’s locations which are valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of unbilled services and adjusts the carrying value as necessary.
	Unbilled services consist of the following:
		September 30,			December 31,

Earnings (Loss) Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Note 3 – Earnings (Loss) Per Share
	Basic earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and from net income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and net income (loss), respectively, by the weighted average shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share from continuing operations, discontinued operations and from net income (loss) per common share are computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and net income (loss), respectively, by the weighted average number of common shares, including common stock equivalent shares (stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights) outstanding for the period.  Certain share-based payment awards which entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable dividends before vesting are considered participating securities and are included in the calculation of basic earnings (loss) per share. There were no reconciling items to net income to arrive at income (loss) available to common stockholders.
	The following table details the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

	Net income (loss) per common share	$	0.13		$	(0.09	)	$	0.03		$	(0.21	)
	Since the Company was in a net loss position for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, there was no difference between the number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted loss per share for those periods. There were 122 and 131 potentially dilutive stock options not included in the diluted per share calculation for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively, because they would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the following table presents the potentially dilutive outstanding stock options excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for each period because they would be anti-dilutive:

Stock Based Compensation [Abstract]
Stock Based Compensation	Note 5 – Stock Based Compensation
	The Company recognizes the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based upon the grant date fair value of those awards using the straight-line expense attribution method. The equity compensation grants made by the Company during the first nine months of 2013, with the exception of non-qualified stock options granted to its outside directors, were in the form of stock-settled stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units, rather than stock options and shares of restricted stock, as had been granted in prior periods.
	The Company records compensation expense for employee stock options and stock appreciation rights based on the estimated fair value of the options and stock appreciation rights on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the assumptions included in the table below. The Company uses historical data among other factors to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected term and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of options and stock appreciation rights granted during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
		Nine Months			Nine Months

	Forfeiture rate		1.00 - 2.50	%		1.00 - 3.00	%
	There were no stock-based awards granted during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013. The number of stock appreciation rights, stock options and restricted stock units granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, was 312. The number of stock options and shares of restricted stock granted during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was 28 and 276, respectively. The total grant date fair value of stock appreciation rights, stock options and restricted stock units granted during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, was $2,346. The total fair value of stock options and restricted stock granted during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, was $197 and $2,349, respectively As of September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, there was $3,078 and $2,631 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards outstanding. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. Expense recognized for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 was $491 and $1,451, respectively. Expense recognized for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 was $424 and $2,665, respectively. The higher expense level during the first nine months of 2012 reflected provisions for vesting rights upon retirement.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets	Note 6 – Impairment of Long-lived Assets
	The Company did not record any charges for impairment of long-lived assets during the three-month period ended September 30, 2013. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded impairment charges of $502, comprised of a second quarter charge of $466 in the Americas operating segment for a customer relationship intangible asset for which future cash flows did not support the carrying value and a first quarter charge of $36 for customer relationship and trade name assets in the Asia Pacific operating segment. The first quarter impairment charge reflected the Company’s decision to close the Seoul, Korea office acquired in its 2011 Brandimage acquisition. The impairment charges are included in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded impairment charges of $4,281, comprised of $3,763 related to impairments of intangible assets and $518 related to an impairment of fixed assets. The intangible asset impairment charges were for customer relationship intangible assets at Company locations being restructured for which projected cash flows did not support the carrying values. The Company recorded the customer relationship impairment charges in the Americas and Europe operating segments in the amounts of $2,350 and $1,413, respectively. The fixed asset impairment charge of $518 related to Company-owned real estate in the Corporate segment which was written down to its estimated market value during the third quarter of 2012. The impairment charges are included in Impairment of long-lived assets in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 7 – Acquisitions
	Lipson Associates, Inc. and Laga, Inc.
	Effective October 19, 2011, the Company acquired substantially all of the domestic assets and assumed certain trade account and business related liabilities of Lipson Associates, Inc. and Laga, Inc., as well as the stock of their foreign operations. Lipson Associates, Inc. and Laga, Inc. does business as Brandimage – Desgrippes & Laga (“Brandimage”).
	Brandimage is a leading branding and design network specializing in providing services that seek to engage and enhance the brand experience, including brand positioning and strategy, product development and structural design, package design and environmental design. Brandimage has operations in Chicago, Cincinnati, Paris, Brussels, Shanghai and Hong Kong. The net assets and results of operations of Brandimage are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements as of October 19, 2011 in all three of the Company’s operating segments: Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. The Brandimage business was acquired to enhance the Company’s service offerings related to branding and design and operates in conjunction with Schawk's legacy brand development capabilities, which are performed under its Anthem brand.
	The purchase price of $24,562 consisted of $27,011 paid in cash at closing, less $2,449 received in 2012 for a net working capital adjustment. The Company recorded a final purchase price allocation in 2012 based on a fair value appraisal performed by an independent consulting company. The goodwill ascribed to this acquisition consists largely of expected profitability from future services and is deductible for tax purposes.
	Exit Reserves from Prior Acquisitions
	The Company previously recorded exit reserves related to its acquisitions of Weir Holdings Limited and Seven Worldwide Holdings, Inc., which occurred in 2004 and 2005, respectively. The major expenses included in the exit reserves were employee severance and lease termination expenses. The exit reserve balances related to employee severance were paid in prior years. The exit reserve for lease termination expenses related to a facility with a lease expiring in 2014. During the third quarter of 2013, the Company reached an agreement with the landlord for an early termination of the lease and the remaining reserve balance was reversed. The following table summarizes the reserve activity from December 31, 2012 through September 30, 2013:

	Credit Facility and Senior Notes
	Revolving Credit Facility
	Amended and Restated Credit Facility. On January 27, 2012, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”), among the Company, certain subsidiary borrowers of the Company, the financial institutions party thereto as lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., on behalf of itself and the other lenders as agent, and PNC Bank, National Association, on behalf of itself and the other lenders as syndication agent, in order to amend and restate the Company’s prior credit agreement that was scheduled to terminate on July 12, 2012.
	The 2012 Credit Agreement provides for a five-year unsecured, multicurrency revolving credit facility in the principal amount of $125,000 (the “New Facility”), including a $10,000 swing-line loan subfacility and a $10,000 subfacility for letters of credit. The Company may, at its option and subject to certain conditions, increase the amount of the New Facility by up to $50,000 by obtaining one or more new commitments from new or existing lenders to fund such increase. Loans under the New Facility generally bear interest at a LIBOR or Federal funds rate plus a margin that varies with the Company’s cash flow leverage ratio, in addition to applicable commitment fees, with a maximum rate of LIBOR plus 225 basis points. At closing, the applicable margin on LIBOR-based loans was 175 basis points. The unutilized portion of the New Facility will be used primarily for general corporate purposes, such as working capital and capital expenditures, and, to the extent opportunities arise, acquisitions and investments.
	At September 30, 2013, there was $35,500 outstanding under the LIBOR portion of the U.S. facility at an interest rate of approximately 2.14 percent. At the Company’s option, loans under the facility can bear interest at prime plus 1.5 percent. At September 30, 2013, there was $3,600 of prime rate borrowing outstanding at an interest rate of 4.25 percent. The Company’s Canadian subsidiary borrowed under the revolving credit facility in the form of bankers’ acceptance agreements and prime rate borrowings. At September 30, 2013, there was $1,456 outstanding under bankers’ acceptance agreements at an interest rate of approximately 3.30 percent and $243 outstanding under prime rate borrowings at an interest rate of approximately 4.00 percent.
	The Company’s UK subsidiary borrowed under the revolving credit facility in the form of LIBOR Sterling loans. At September 30, 2013, there was $807 outstanding under LIBOR Sterling loans at an interest rate of approximately 2.48 percent. The Company’s Luxembourg subsidiary borrowed under the credit facility in the form of Euro LIBOR loans. At September 30, 2013, there was $406 outstanding under the Euro LIBOR loans at an interest rate of approximately 2.06 percent.
	The 2012 Credit Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Under the terms of the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Company is no longer subject to restrictive covenants on permitted capital expenditures. Certain restricted payments, such as regular dividends and stock repurchases, are permitted provided that the Company maintains compliance with its minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio (with respect to regular dividends) and a specified maximum cash-flow leverage ratio (with respect to other permitted restricted payments). Other covenants include, among other things, restrictions on the Company’s and in certain cases its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness; dispose of assets; create or permit liens on assets; make loans, advances or other investments; incur certain guarantee obligations; engage in mergers, consolidations or acquisitions, other than those meeting the requirements of the 2012 Credit Agreement; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and engage in certain hedging arrangements. The 2012 Credit Agreement also requires compliance with specified financial ratios and tests, including a minimum fixed-charge coverage ratio and a maximum cash-flow ratio.
	Amendment to the 2012 Credit Agreement. On September 12, 2012, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to the 2012 Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement Amendment amended the definition of “EBITDA” in the 2012 Credit Agreement to permit the Company, for purposes of calculating EBITDA for financial covenant compliance, to add back certain expenses associated with the Company’s enterprise resource planning system up to certain amounts as specified in the Credit Agreement Amendment.
	Senior Notes
	In 2003 and 2005, the Company entered into two private placements of debt to provide long-term financing in which it issued senior notes pursuant to note purchase agreements, which have since been amended as further discussed below. The senior notes that were outstanding at September 30, 2013 bear interest at rates from 8.90 percent to 8.98 percent. The remaining aggregate balance of the notes, $3,072 is included in Current portion of long-term debt on the September 30, 2013 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Amended and Restated Private Shelf Agreement. Concurrently with its entry into the 2012 Credit Agreement, on January 27, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Note Purchase and Private Shelf Agreement with Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”) and certain existing noteholders and note purchasers named therein (the “Private Shelf Agreement”), which provides for a $75,000 private shelf facility for a period of up to three years (the “Private Shelf Facility”). At closing, the Company issued $25,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.38% Series F Senior Notes due January 27, 2019 (the “Notes”) under the Private Shelf Agreement.
	The Private Shelf Agreement contains financial and other covenants that are the same or substantially equivalent to covenants under the 2012 Credit Agreement described above. Notes issued under the Private Shelf Facility may have maturities of up to ten years and are unsecured. Either the Company or Prudential may terminate the unused portion of the Private Shelf Facility prior to its scheduled termination upon 30 days’ written notice. Any future borrowings under the Private Shelf Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, such as working capital and capital expenditures.
	Amendment to Note Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with the entry into the Private Shelf Agreement, the Company entered into the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2003, as amended (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), with the noteholders party thereto (the “Mass Mutual Noteholders”). The Fifth Amendment amended certain financial and other covenants in the Note Purchase Agreement so that such financial and other covenants are the same or substantially equivalent to covenants under the 2012 Credit Agreement described above. The Fifth Amendment also amended certain provisions contained in the Note Purchase Agreement to reflect that amounts due under existing senior notes issued to the Mass Mutual Noteholders are no longer secured.
	Amendments to Private Shelf Agreement and Note Purchase Agreement. Concurrently with its entry into the Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company entered into (i) the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Private Shelf Agreement and (ii) the Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment”) to the Note Purchase Agreement. The First Amendment and the Sixth Amendment amend the respective definitions of “EBITDA” in the Private Shelf Agreement and the Note Purchase Agreement to conform to the amended EBITDA definition contained in the Credit Agreement Amendment.
	Debt Covenant Compliance and Noteholders Consent
	The Company was in compliance with all covenant obligations under the aforementioned credit and note purchase agreements at September 30, 2013. In connection with its compliance with the covenant obligations as of December 31, 2012, the Company received a consent from its lender group to make a partial or complete withdrawal from the GCC/IBT National Pension Plan, and in connection with such withdrawal the Company recorded, as of December 31, 2012, a withdrawal liability with an estimated present value of $31,683. The lender group agreed to waive any event of default under the credit agreement that might occur as a result of such withdrawal and the incurrence of such withdrawal liability and acknowledged that the withdrawal liability incurred by the Company will not constitute indebtedness. See Note 15 – Multiemployer Pension Plans for more information regarding the withdrawal liability.
	Other Debt Arrangements
	In October 2011, the Company financed a $649 three-year equipment and software maintenance agreement effective through November 2014. The payments are due in annual installments ending in December 2013. The total balance outstanding for the equipment and software maintenance fees at September 30, 2013 is $216 and is included in Current portion of long-term debt.
	In July 2013, the Company’s Belgium subsidiary entered into a financing arrangement for the purchase of production equipment in the amount of $110, with monthly payments over a three year period ending in June 2016. The balance outstanding at September 30, 2013 is $103, of which $37 is included in Current portion of long-term debt and $66 is included in Long-term debt.
	The Company also had $3 of various notes payable from its October 2011 acquisition of Brandimage, included in the Current portion of long-term debt on the September 30, 2013 Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	Deferred Financing Fees
	At September 30, 2013, the Company had $738 of unamortized deferred financing fees related to prior revolving credit facility and note purchase agreement amendments. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company amortized deferred financing fees totaling $66 and $195, respectively. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, the Company amortized deferred financing fees totaling $66 and $231, respectively. These amounts are included in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets [Abstract]
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Note 9 – Goodwill and Intangible Assets
	The Company’s intangible assets not subject to amortization consist entirely of goodwill. Under current accounting guidance, the Company’s goodwill is not amortized throughout the period, but is subject to an annual impairment test. The Company performs an impairment test annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
	On July 3, 2013, the Company sold the operating assets, net of certain liabilities, of its large format printing business located in Los Angeles, California. The net assets of the large format printing business were considered to be held for sale as of June 30, 2013 and a portion of the goodwill in the Americas reporting unit was allocated to the business held for sale in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The amount allocated to the large format printing business was $7,000 and this pretax amount is included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.
	The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment during the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, were as follows:

	Other intangible assets were recorded at fair market value as of the dates of the acquisitions based upon independent third party appraisals. The fair values and useful lives assigned to customer relationship assets are based on the period over which these relationships are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the Company. The acquired companies typically have had key long-term relationships with Fortune 500 companies lasting 15 years or more. Because of the custom nature of the work that the Company does, it has been the Company’s experience that clients are reluctant to change suppliers.
	See Note 6 – Impairment of Long-lived Assets for more information as to certain impairment charges.
	Amortization expense related to the other intangible assets totaled $1,004 and $3,075 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense related to the other intangible assets totaled $1,340 and $4,097 for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for each of the next five twelve-month periods beginning October 1, 2013, is expected to be approximately $3,930 for 2014, $3,797 for 2015, $3,728 for 2016, $3,554 for 2017, and $3,437 for 2018.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 10 – Income Taxes
	The Company’s interim period income tax provision is determined as follows:
	·	At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company estimates the income tax that will be provided for the fiscal year.
	·	The forecasted annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income (loss) at the end of each quarter to compute the year-to-date tax applicable to ordinary income (loss). The term ordinary income (loss) refers to income (loss) from continuing operations, before income taxes, excluding significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items. The tax provision or benefit related to ordinary income (loss) in each quarter is the difference between the most recent year-to-date and the prior quarter-to-date computations.
	·	The tax effects of significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items are recognized as discrete items in the interim periods in which the events occur. The impact of changes in tax laws or rates on deferred tax amounts, the effects of changes in judgment about valuation allowances established in prior years, and changes in tax reserves resulting from the finalization of tax audits or reviews are examples of significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items.
	The determination of the forecasted annual effective tax rate is based upon a number of significant estimates and judgments, including the forecasted annual income (loss) before income taxes of the Company in each tax jurisdiction in which it operates, the development of tax planning strategies during the year, and the need for a valuation allowance. In addition, the Company’s tax expense can be impacted by changes in tax rates or laws, the finalization of tax audits and reviews, as well as other factors that cannot be predicted with certainty. As such, there can be significant volatility in interim tax provisions.
	The following table sets out the tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations and the effective tax rates of the Company:
			Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
			September 30,						September 30,
	(in thousands)		2013			2012			2013			2012
	Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes		$	4,827		$	(2,479	)	$	10,206		$	(7,020	)
	Income tax provision (benefit)		$	1,291		$	(184	)	$	2,744		$	(1,515	)
	Effective tax rate			26.7	%		7.4	%		26.9	%		21.6	%
	In the third quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a tax provision of $1,291 on income before taxes of $4,827, or an effective tax rate of 26.7 percent as compared to an effective rate of 7.4 percent for the third quarter of 2012. The higher effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 is primarily attributable to relatively higher tax rates on increased United States profitability compared to the third quarter of 2012. The increased effective rate is offset by decreases in the reserve for unrecognized tax benefits totaling $239 and other discrete benefits totaling $303.
	For the first nine months of 2013, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $2,744 on income before income taxes of $10,206 or an effective tax rate of 26.9 percent, as compared to an effective tax rate of 21.6 percent for the first nine months of 2012. The higher effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2013, as compared to an income tax benefit for the first nine months of 2012, is primarily attributable to relatively higher tax rates on increased United States profitability compared to the first nine months of 2012. The increased effective rate is offset by decreases from the retroactive benefits of U.S. legislation, the net benefit of changes to uncertain tax positions, and other discrete items in the amount of $1,129.
	The Company has reserves for unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties, of $1,745 and $2,093 at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The reserve for uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2013 decreased by $348 primarily due to the effective settlement of previously recorded uncertain tax positions offset by the establishment of an additional uncertain tax position.

Segment_Reporting

Segment Reporting	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2013
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Note 11 – Segment Reporting
	Accounting guidance requires that a public business enterprise report financial information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.
	The Company organizes and manages its operations primarily by geographic area and measures profit and loss of its segments based on operating income (loss). The accounting policies used to measure operating income (loss) of the segments are the same as those used to prepare the consolidated financial statements.
	The Company’s Americas segment includes all of the Company’s operations located in North and South America, including its operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil, its U.S. brand strategy and design business and its U.S. digital solutions business. The Company’s Europe segment includes all operations located in Europe, including its European brand strategy and design business and its digital solutions business in London. The Company’s Asia Pacific segment includes all operations in Asia and Australia, including its Asia Pacific brand strategy and design business. The Company has determined that each of its operating segments is also a reportable segment.
	Corporate consists of unallocated general and administrative activities and associated expenses, including executive, legal, finance, information technology, human resources and certain facility costs. In addition, certain costs and employee benefit plans are included in Corporate and not allocated to operating segments.
	The Company has disclosed operating income (loss) as the primary measure of segment profitability. This is the measure of profitability used by the Company’s CODM and is most consistent with the presentation of profitability reported within the consolidated financial statements.
	The segment revenue disclosure for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation of segment revenue as presented for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. The Americas segment revenue and intersegment revenue elimination originally reported for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 have been reduced by $7,090 and $21,788 respectively, to reflect the elimination of intra-segment revenue within the Americas segment.
	Segment information relating to results of operations for continuing operations was as follows:
		Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

Acquisition Integration and Restructuring [Abstract]
Acquisition Integration and Restructuring	Note 12 – Acquisition Integration and Restructuring
	In 2008, the Company initiated a cost reduction and restructuring plan involving a consolidation and realignment of its workforce and incurred costs for employee terminations, obligations for future lease payments, fixed asset impairments, and other associated costs.

	Fair Value Hedge
	In order to mitigate foreign exchange rate exposure, the Company entered into several forward contracts during 2012. The forward contracts were designated as fair value hedges at inception. The derivative fair value gains or losses from these fair value hedges are recorded as a component of Foreign exchange loss in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The forward contracts are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are classified as Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy established in Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements. In May 2012, the Company discontinued its foreign currency hedging program using forward contracts. There was no effect on earnings for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013. The effect on earnings of the derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 was a loss of $438.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable.
		·	Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These are typically obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.
		·	Level 2 – Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, which are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These are typically obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments.
		·	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs, where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions of the data that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best information available in the circumstances.
	For purposes of financial reporting, the Company has determined that the fair value of such financial instruments as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt approximates carrying value at September 30, 2013.
	The Company’s multiemployer pension withdrawal liability is categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the multiemployer pension withdrawal liability was estimated using a present value analysis as of December 31, 2012. See Note 15 – Multiemployer Pension Withdrawal for more information regarding the multiemployer withdrawal liability.
	The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of the Company’s multiemployer pension withdrawal liability during the first nine months of 2013:
			Fair Value
	Liability balance at January 1, 2013		$	31,683
	Accretion of present value discount			209

Multiemployer Pension Withdrawal [Abstract]
Multiemployer Pension Withdrawal	Note 15 – Multiemployer Pension Withdrawal
	The Company has participated in the Graphic Communications Conference International Brotherhood of Teamsters National Pension Fund (“NPF”), formerly known as the Graphic Communications Conference International Brotherhood of Teamsters Supplemental Retirement and Disability Fund (“SRDF”), pursuant to collective bargaining agreements at eight locations. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Schawk Board of Directors executed a resolution to authorize management to enter into good faith negotiations with the local bargaining units to effect a complete withdrawal from the NPF. The negotiations with the local bargaining units continued during the first nine months of 2013. The decision to exit the NPF was made in order to mitigate potentially greater financial exposure to the Company in the future under the plan, which is significantly underfunded, and to facilitate the consideration of future changes to the Company’s operations in the United States. A withdrawal liability should be recorded if circumstances that give rise to an obligation become probable and estimable. Management concluded that a complete withdrawal from the NPF was both probable and estimable, subject to the Company’s good faith bargaining obligations. Based on an analysis prepared by an independent actuary, the Company recorded an estimated liability for its withdrawal from the NPF of $31,683 as of December 31, 2012, which is the present value of the estimated future payments required for withdrawal. The payments are expected to total approximately $41,186, payable $2,059 per year over a 20 year period, with the annual cash payments expected to commence on or about May 1, 2014. These payments were discounted at a risk free rate of 2.54 percent. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, the Company accreted $208 and $625 of the present value discount, resulting in an estimated liability balance of $32,308 at September 30, 2013, of which $1,252 is included in Accrued expenses and $31,056 is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2013. The expense associated with the accretion of the present value discount is reflected in Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
	The Company previously participated in the San Francisco Lithographers Pension Trust (“SF LPT”) pursuant to collective bargaining agreements with the Teamsters Local 853. Effective June 30, 2011, the Company decided to terminate participation in the SF LPT and provided notification that it would no longer be making contributions to the plan. The Company’s decision triggered a withdrawal liability. The Company recorded an estimated liability of $1,846 as of June 30, 2011 to reflect this obligation. The Company made a payment of $43 during the second quarter of 2012 and a final payment of $1,600 during the third quarter of 2012 to settle the liability in full. The $203 reduction from the initial liability recorded of $1,846 and the final settlement of $1,643 is recorded as a credit to Multiemployer pension withdrawal expense (income) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The net assets of the large format printing business were considered to be held for sale as of June 30, 2013. The large-format printing business was considered to be outside of the Company’s core business and was included in the Americas segment. The aggregate selling price for the business was $10,570, comprised of $8,247 in cash, $2,000 in a secured subordinated note and $323 accrued as a receivable from the buyer for an estimated net working capital adjustment, which is expected to be settled in the fourth quarter of 2013. The results of operations of the business sold are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented in this quarterly report and the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation have been segregated in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
