ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

                This Amendment No. 2 to statement on Schedule 13D (this "Statement") relates to the Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the "Common Stock"), of Checkpoint Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Issuer" or the "Company"), whose principal executive office is located at 101 Wolf Drive, Thorofare, New Jersey 08086.

                This Amendment No. 2 amends and restates in full each of the items set forth below. Capitalized terms used but otherwise not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D originally filed September 24, 2002 (the "Original Statement").

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

    (a)        This statement is being filed on behalf of (i) MMI Investments, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("MMI Investments") and (ii) MCM Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is the sole general partner of MMI Investments ("MCM"). MMI Investments and MCM are herein together sometimes called the "Reporting Persons". Set forth on Schedule I, annexed to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference, is the name, business address and present principal occupation or employment, and the name and address of any corporation or other organization in which such occupation or employment is conducted, of each voting member (each of whom is also an executive officer) of MCM as of the date hereof.

    (b)        The business address of both of the Reporting Persons is 1370 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10019.

    (c)        MMI Investments is engaged primarily in the business of investing in publicly traded securities. MCM is the sole general partner of MMI Investments and its principal business is investing in publicly traded securities.

    (d)        Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to each Reporting Person's knowledge, any individual listed on Schedule I, is required to disclose legal proceedings pursuant to Item 2(d) of Schedule 13D.

    (e)        Neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to each Reporting Person's knowledge, any individual listed on Schedule I, is required to disclose legal proceedings pursuant to Item 2(e) of Schedule 13D.

    (f)        To each Reporting Person's knowledge, each of the individuals identified on Schedule I is a citizen of the United States.

    (a)-(b)    Based on 38,812,569 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 16, 2006, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2005, the Shares owned by MMI Investments represent approximately 4.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. MMI Investments has the sole power to direct the vote and disposition of such Shares on the date of this Statement. However, by virtue of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by MMI Investments and to have sole power over the voting and disposition of such Shares as a result of its having the sole power to make voting and disposition decisions on behalf of MMI Investments with respect to such Shares.

                Except for the Shares owned by MMI Investments, as of the date hereof, neither MCM nor, to MMI Investments' and MCM's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I, owns any Common Stock of the Issuer or has any right to acquire, directly or indirectly, any beneficial ownership of other Common Stock of the Issuer.

    (c)        Except for the open market purchases of Common Stock (on March 3 and March 8, 2006) and open market sales of Common Stock by MMI Investments set forth in Schedule II attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, there have been no transactions with respect to the Common Stock during the past 60 days by MMI Investments, MCM, or, to either Reporting Person's knowledge, any of the persons listed on Schedule I.

    (d)        No person other than MMI Investments is known to either Reporting Person to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the Shares referred to in Item 5(a) above.

    (e)        The Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock on April 3, 2006.


ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

                By virtue of being the general partner of MMI Investments, MCM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Shares of the Issuer owned by MMI Investments. Other than as described in Item 3 of this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements or understandings between either of the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
