Document Security Systems Acquires Premier Packaging

Document Security Systems (DSS), Rochester, N.Y., USA, a manufacturer of secure identification and authentication technologies for documents, packaging, labels, ID cards, and electronic data, reported this week that it has acquired Victor, N.Y.-based Premier Packaging Corp., a manufacturer of paperboard packaging for clients in the pharmaceutical, beverage, photo packaging, toy, specialty foods, and direct marketing industries, among others. An early innovator of upscale photo packaging, Premier has expanded its product offerings to include everything from basic mailers and sleeves to folding cartons and complex three-dimensional solutions. It has 32 employees and operates from a 40,000 square foot plant in Victor. Last year, Premier reported $6.9 million in sales and approximately $530,000 in profit.
