Item 8.01 Other Events
This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or

As previously disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended September 25, 2005, Checkpoint Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") has classified as held for sale the global barcode labeling
businesses, and the U.S. hand-held labeling and Turn-O-Matic (R) businesses
("the disposal group"). Beginning with the quarterly period ended September 25,
2005, the operations and select assets of the disposal group were determined to
be discontinued operations. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the
Company is required to reclassify previously reported prior period financial
statements to reflect the discontinued operations on a basis comparable to the
current presentation. Generally accepted accounting principles require our
financial statements that were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 26, 2004, to be updated for discontinued operations in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2005.
In order to assist investors' understanding of the treatment of the
operations of the disposal group as discontinued operations on a quarterly
basis, the Company has posted to its website, and is furnishing herewith,
certain financial information that has been revised in advance of filing our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2005. The information
furnished herewith is consistent with the method in which the Company's results
were reported for the quarterly period ended September 25, 2005, and will be
reported going forward.
