Note 15 - Employee Benefit Plans
 
The Company has various defined contribution plans for the benefit of its employees. The Company’s 401(k) Plan, which covers mainly non-union employees in the United States, provides for a match of employee contributions based on the Company’s performance to a target of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The matching contribution was 1.5 percent of compensation for 2013. Contributions to the plans were $1,027, $1,432, and $1,743 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company’s European subsidiaries contributed $898, $897 and $816 to several defined-contribution plans for their employees in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company also maintains a defined benefit pension plan covering employees at its Brandimage French subsidiary and has recorded a liability of $1,128 and $867, as of December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012,  respectively, for this plan.
 
The Company established an employee stock purchase plan on January 1, 1999 that permits employees to purchase common shares of the Company through payroll deductions. The number of shares issued for this plan was 28 in 2013, 33 in 2012, and 33 in 2011. The shares were issued at a 5 percent discount from the end-of-quarter closing market price of the Company’s common stock. The discount from market value was $19, $21 and $23 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
The Company also has a non-qualified income deferral plan for which certain highly-compensated employees are eligible. The plan allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation until retirement or separation from the Company. The plan is unfunded and is an unsecured liability of the Company. The Company’s liability under the plan was $1,697 and $1,591 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has a deferred compensation agreement with the Chairman of the Board of Directors dated June 1, 1983 which was ratified and included in a restated employment agreement dated October 1, 1994. The agreement provides for deferred compensation for 10 years equal to 50 percent of final salary and was modified on March 9, 1998 to determine a fixed salary level for purposes of this calculation. The Company has a deferred compensation liability equal to $815 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 which is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The liability was calculated using the net present value of ten annual payments at a 6 percent discount rate assuming, for calculation purposes only, that payments begin one year from the balance sheet date.
 
The Company has collective bargaining agreements with production employees representing approximately 7 percent of its workforce. The significant contracts are with local units of the Graphic Communications Conference of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Communications, Energy & Paperworkers Union of Canada and the GPMU union in the UK and expire in 2014 through 2017. The percentage of employees covered by contracts expiring within one year is approximately 2 percent.
 
The Company is required to contribute to certain union sponsored defined benefit pension plans under various labor contracts covering union employees. Pension expense related to the union plans, which is determined based upon payroll data, was approximately $602, $813 and $912 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
