Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Standard Register Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (referenced in this report as the "Company," "we," "our," or “Standard Register,”) after elimination of intercompany transactions, profits, and balances. As described in Note 4, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of operations and cash flows for WorkflowOne, LLC (WorkflowOne) from August 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013, the end of their calendar quarter. Our fiscal quarter ends on September 29, 2013. We do not believe the difference in fiscal period-end dates has a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required for complete annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2012 (Annual Report). In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or of results to be expected for a full year. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.
