Visant Posts a Larger Net Loss for Latest Quarter on Lower Net Sales

• Net sales for the Marketing and Publishing Services segment decreased to $276.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 29, 2012, a decrease of 3 percent, compared to $283.5 million during the nine-month period ended October 1, 2011. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower volume in our publishing services business (including as a result of the cessation of production of overhead transparency products in September 2011) and direct mail operations partially offset by higher volume in our sampling operations.
