Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

10. Segment Information

The Company’s businesses are organized, managed and internally reported as four operating segments. Two of these operating segments, Packaging and Printing, and Plastics are engaged in the printing and production of paper, cardboard and plastic documents with a wide range of features, including the Company’s patented technologies and trade secrets designed for the protection of documents against unauthorized duplication and altering. The two other operating segments, DSS Digital Group and DSS Technology Management, are engaged in various aspects of developing, acquiring, selling and licensing technology assets and are grouped into one reportable segment called Technology.

Approximate information concerning the Company’s operations by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows. The Company relies on intersegment cooperation and management does not represent that these segments, if operated independently, would report the results contained herein.
