Basis Of Presentation	'
	1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements, after the elimination of intercompany accounts and transactions, include the accounts of Paperweight Development Corp. (“PDC”) and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), which includes Appvion, Inc., formerly known as Appleton Papers Inc., and its 100%-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Appvion,” formerly “Appleton”), for the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011. PDC conducts substantially all of its business through Appvion.
	NATURE OF OPERATIONS
	Appvion is the primary operating subsidiary of PDC. The Company creates product solutions for customers and end users through its development and use of coating formulations and applications as well as microencapsulation and security technologies. It has three reportable segments: Encapsys, thermal papers and carbonless papers (see Note 22, Segment Information).
	The Encapsys segment discovers, develops and manufactures microencapsulation solutions for new markets, external partners and for the Company’s carbonless papers segment. Microencapsulation is the process of putting a microscopic wall around a core substance. The Company helped NCR Corporation (“NCR”) produce the first commercial application for microencapsulation in 1954 with the introduction of carbonless paper. Since then, the Company researchers have developed the art and science of microencapsulation and are working with potential partners in industries as diverse as agriculture, building and construction, paper, textiles, personal and household care, and oil and gas. The Encapsys segment leverages the Company’s extensive technical knowledge and experience with microencapsulation to create and sell new products. The Encapsys segment also uses an open innovation process with partner companies to develop successful technical solutions for those companies. Sales within the Encapsys segment accounted for approximately 6% of total company net sales in the three-year period ended  December 28, 2013.
	The thermal papers segment develops and produces substrates for the transaction and item identification markets. Thermal paper is used in four principal end markets: (1) point-of-sale products for retail receipts and coupons; (2) labels for shipping, warehousing, medical and clean-room applications; (3) tags and tickets for airline and baggage applications, event and transportation tickets and lottery and gaming applications; and (4) printer, calculator and chart paper for engineering, industrial and medical diagnostic charts. Point-of-sale products are sold to printers and converters who in turn sell to end-user customers or to resellers such as office supply stores, office superstores, warehouse clubs, mail order catalogs, equipment dealers, merchants and original equipment manufacturers. Label products are sold to companies who apply pressure sensitive adhesive coatings and release liners and then sell these products to label printers. Tag, ticket and chart grades are sold to specialty printing companies who convert them to finished products such as entertainment, lottery and gaming tickets, tags, coupons and medical charts. Sales within the thermal papers segment accounted for approximately 52% of consolidated net sales in 2013, 48% of consolidated net sales in 2012 and 43% of consolidated net sales in 2011.
	The carbonless papers segment includes carbonless, security and other specialty paper products. Carbonless paper is used to make multipart business forms such as invoices and purchase orders. The Company produces coated products for design and print applications and offers custom coating solutions. Carbonless products are sold to converters, printers and merchant distributors who stock and sell carbonless paper to printers. The Company also produces security papers with features that resist forgery, tampering and counterfeiting. The Company’s portfolio of products incorporates security technologies, including watermarks, taggants, reactive chemicals, embedded threads and fibers and machine-readable technologies, to serve global markets. Sales within the carbonless papers segment accounted for approximately 44% of consolidated net sales in 2013, 48% of consolidated net sales in 2012 and 53% of consolidated net sales in 2011.
	RELATIONSHIPS WITH FORMER PARENT
	At the close of business on November 9, 2001, PDC and New Appleton LLC completed the purchase of all the partnership interests of Arjo Wiggins Delaware General Partnership (“AWDGP”) and its 100%-owned subsidiary, Appleton Papers Inc. (now Appvion, Inc.).
	In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company entered into two indemnification agreements under which Arjo Wiggins Appleton Limited, now known as Windward Prospects Ltd (“AWA”), the former parent of Appvion, agreed to indemnify PDC and PDC agreed to indemnify Appvion for the costs, expenses and liabilities related to certain governmental and third-party environmental claims, referred to as the Fox River Liabilities.
	Under the indemnification agreements, Appvion is indemnified for the first $75 million of Fox River Liabilities and for amounts in excess of $100 million (see Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies). During 2008, Appvion paid $25 million to satisfy its portion of the Fox River Liabilities not covered by the indemnification agreement with AWA.
	In connection with the indemnification agreements, AWA purchased and fully paid for indemnity claim insurance from Commerce & Industry Insurance Company, an affiliate of American International Group, Inc. The insurance policy provided up to $250 million of coverage for Fox River Liabilities, subject to certain limitations defined in the policy. As of December 31, 2011, there was no remaining coverage on the policy.
	As amended in, and as limited by the terms of the purchase agreement relating to the acquisition of Appvion, AWA and two of its affiliates have agreed to indemnify PDC and Appvion for certain losses resulting from (1) inaccuracies in the environmental representations and warranties made by AWA and its affiliates, (2) certain known environmental matters that existed at the closing of the acquisition, (3) environmental matters related to the businesses of Newton Falls, Inc., Appleton Coated LLC and several other of the Company’s former affiliates and subsidiaries and (4) environmental matters relating to the real property on which the Company’s former Camp Hill, Pennsylvania plant and the Company’s current distribution center are located that existed prior to its sale of the Camp Hill plant to a third-party.
	RELATIONSHIP OF APPVION,  INC. WITH PARENT
	As a result of PDC's November 2001 acquisition of Appleton Papers Inc. (now Appvion, Inc.), Appvion entered into borrowings with a third-party and transferred the acquired cash through a subordinated demand note receivable with PDC to fund the acquisition from AWA.
	As described in Note 20, the ESOP purchased 100% of the PDC shares in 2001. All ESOP shares activities, including issuance, deferrals, redemptions, and accretion, are recorded by PDC. Cash was transacted through an intercompany loan from Appvion to PDC in order to fund ESOP redemption activities and ESOP deferrals were in turn paid back to Appvion. Redemption activities were significantly larger than employee deferrals. During November 2013, this intercompany note and all related interest due from PDC was forgiven in full by Appvion. During December 2013, an interest-bearing intercompany loan from PDC to Appvion was established to record the transfer of ESOP deferrals, used to purchase PDC stock, to Appvion by PDC.
	As discussed above, in conjunction with the acquisition of Appvion, PDC entered into two indemnification agreements under which AWA agreed to indemnify PDC and PDC agreed to indemnify Appvion for the costs, expenses and liabilities related to the Fox River Liabilities. The balance sheet of PDC includes an indemnification receivable from AWA in current assets and a corresponding reserve for Fox River Liabilities in current liabilities.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	FISCAL YEAR
	The Company’s fiscal year is the 52-week or 53-week period ending the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal year 2013 was a 52-week period ending December 28, 2013. Fiscal year 2012 was a 52-week period ending December 29, 2012. Fiscal year 2011 was a 52-week period ending December 31, 2011.
	USE OF ESTIMATES
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more critical estimates made by management relate to environmental contingencies, pension and postretirement assumptions, accrued discounts, intangible and tangible asset impairment analyses, fair market value of redeemable common stock and receivable reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	OUT OF PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
	During 2013, the Company recorded an out-of-period adjustment related to the correction of a $0.9 million overstatement of accounts payable related to prior periods, which had the effect of increasing 2013 operating income. The Company does not believe the correction of this error is material to its financial statements for any prior periods or the year ended December 28, 2013.
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	Revenue is recognized by the Company when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of a selling arrangement exists; the Company’s price to the customer is fixed; collectability is reasonably assured; and title has transferred to the customer. These criteria are met at the time of shipment. Estimated costs for sales incentives, discounts and sales returns and allowances are recorded as sales reductions in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company typically does not invoice its customers for shipping and handling fees, which are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $42 million for 2013, $46 million for 2012 and $48 million for 2011.
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	The Company selectively uses financial instruments to manage some market risks from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices and follows the guidance of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The fair values of all derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in a derivative’s fair value is recorded each period in current earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted transactions that are subject to foreign currency exchange exposure by using forward exchange contracts. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815 and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when the underlying transactions occur and affect earnings or if it becomes probable the forecasted transaction will not occur. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted commodity transactions that are subject to pricing fluctuations by using collar contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in energy prices. These contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings.
	The Company had selectively hedged forecasted commodity transactions that were subject to pricing fluctuations by using swap contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in pulp prices. As of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, no contracts were in place. At year-end 2011, there were two pulp swap contracts in place. One contract was not designated as a hedge and its gains or losses due to changes in fair value were recorded in current period earnings. The second contract was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted pulp purchases and the change in the effective portion of the fair value of this hedge was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income until the inventory containing the pulp was sold.
	In July 2013, the Company fixed the interest rate, at 7.24%, on $100 million of its variable rate first lien term loan using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. This interest rate swap contract has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the contract’s gains or losses due to changes in fair value is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings when the underlying transactions occur and affect earnings or if it becomes probable the forecasted transaction will not occur. This contract is highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates.
	For the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the amounts recognized in earnings due to ineffectiveness of hedge transactions were immaterial. The amount reported as realized and unrealized losses on derivatives was immaterial in 2013. The amount reported as realized and unrealized losses on derivatives of $2.9 million in 2012, in accumulated other comprehensive income, represents the net loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The amount reported as realized and unrealized gains of $1.4 million in 2011, in accumulated other comprehensive income, represents the net gain on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.
	CASH EQUIVALENTS
	Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in institutional money market funds with daily liquidity. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, there were cash overdrafts of approximately $10.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	INVENTORIES
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for raw materials, work in process and finished goods inventories. Stores and spare parts inventories are valued at average cost. Finished goods and work in process inventories include the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, including interest incurred during construction and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The general range of useful lives for financial reporting is 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs that do not significantly improve the related asset or extend its useful life are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with resulting gains or losses reflected in operating income.
	INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE
	Costs incurred related to the development of internal use software are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” which requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use once certain criteria are met. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the lesser of 8 years or the useful life of the software using the straight-line method.
	INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	Certain intangible assets (including a portion of registered trademarks) have been determined to have indefinite useful lives and will not be amortized until their useful lives are determined to no longer be indefinite. Other intangible assets (customer relationships and the remaining registered trademarks) are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 20 to 25 years.
	IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLES AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
	The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. This impairment analysis consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
	The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets with definite lives and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The fair value of the assets is based on an analysis of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the determined fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized based upon anticipated discounted cash flows from the asset.
	INCOME TAXES
	In conjunction with the acquisition of Appvion, PDC elected to be treated as a subchapter S corporation and elected that its eligible subsidiaries be treated as qualified subchapter S subsidiaries for U.S. federal and, where recognized, state and local income tax purposes, and therefore, the Company anticipates that it will not incur any future U.S. federal income tax liability and minimal state and local income tax liabilities.
	Ineligible subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets in those circumstances where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.
	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
	The Company provides a range of benefits to its employees and retired employees, including pensions and postretirement healthcare. The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses immediately in net periodic cost annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever a plan is determined to qualify for a remeasurement during a fiscal year, and the market-related value of plan assets used in the cost calculations is equal to fair value.
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
	When available, quoted market prices were used to determine fair value and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, observable market-based inputs were used to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
	Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
	ASC 820 expanded the definition of fair value to include the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or by the Company) will not be fulfilled. For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. For certain other financial assets and liabilities (Level 2 and 3), fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.
	The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is primarily based on models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine the discounted cash flows that result in a measurement that is classified as Level 2. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate, also deemed to be categorized as Level 2.
	In addition to the methods and assumptions used to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed above, the following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments as required by ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.”  Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable recorded in the balance sheets approximate fair value based on the short maturity of these instruments. Fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments.
	ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
	The components of the non-owner changes in equity, or accumulated other comprehensive income, are as follows (dollars in thousands):
		2013			2012
	Changes in retiree plans	$	4,942		$	6,453
	Realized and unrealized losses on derivatives		(1,129	)		(1,131	)
		$	3,813		$	5,322
	RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
	Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. Such costs incurred in the development of new products or significant improvements to existing products totaled $11.9 million in 2013, $11.2 million in 2012 and $11.4 million in 2011.
	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation. ASU 2013-04 is effective for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, though early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The updated standard is effective prospectively for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the disclosures have been included in its consolidated financial statements in Note 23, Accumulated other Comprehensive Income.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” It provides the option to perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. ASU 2012‑02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, though early adoption was permitted. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. It expands required disclosures related to the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. It requires disclosure of net and gross positions in covered financial instruments and derivative instruments which are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC Sections 210-20-45 or 815-10-45, or (2) subject to an enforceable netting or other similar arrangement. To clarify the guidance provided in ASU 2011-11, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" in January 2013. It clarifies the scope of the guidance to include derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to master netting or similar arrangements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will be required to adopt this guidance as of its fiscal year beginning December 29, 2013 and is evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Restructuring And Other Related Costs	'
	3.       RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED COSTS
	On February 22, 2012, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement for the purchase of carbonless and thermal base stock for coating at the Company’s converting facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, the supplier will be the exclusive supplier of certain thermal and carbonless base stock used by the Company. The term of the agreement is 15 years and includes successive five-year renewal terms unless either party gives notice of non-renewal.
	In connection with its approval of this supply agreement, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a plan for the Company to dispose of papermaking assets at its West Carrollton, Ohio facility and move its carbonless coating to the Company’s converting plant in Appleton, Wisconsin. As a result, 314 jobs were eliminated at West Carrollton and 68 jobs added at the Appleton facility. The Company maintains its thermal coating operations at the West Carrollton facility. The Company recorded all associated restructuring expense and other related costs, totaling $106.0 million, during 2012. These included the following (dollars in thousands):
				For the		Location on Statement
				Year Ended		of Comprehensive
				29-Dec-12		Income (Loss)
	Employee termination benefits			$	25,166	Restructuring
	Decommissioning and other expenses				3,423	Restructuring
	Retention incentives and other costs				320	Cost of sales
	Accelerated depreciation				64,742	Cost of sales
	Revaluation of inventory				11,061	Cost of sales
	Loss on disposal of fixed assets				1,238	Cost of sales
				$	105,950
	Of the costs recorded during 2012, $58.3 million were allocated to the carbonless papers segment and $47.7 million were allocated to the thermal papers segment.
	The table below summarizes the components of the restructuring reserve included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 29, 2012 and December 28, 2013.
		29-Dec-12		2013 Additions		2013		28-Dec-13
		Reserve		to Reserve		Utilization		Reserve
	Exit costs – equipment decommissioning	$	765	$	—	$	-672	$	93
	Employee termination benefits – long-term		18,454		—		-454		18,000
		$	19,219	$	—	$	-1,126	$	18,093
	Employee termination benefits included severance as well as related benefits and pension costs. At December 28, 2013, $0.7 million of the total restructuring reserve was included in current liabilities and $17.4 million was included in other long-term liabilities. The Company expects any remaining charges for exit costs to be immaterial. At December 28, 2013, it is estimated that cash of approximately $35 million remains to be paid as a result of ceasing papermaking operations at West Carrollton. This includes the reserve above as well as distributions from the Company’s stock fund to former West Carrollton employees terminated as a result of the restructuring. Of this amount, it is expected that approximately $5 million will be paid during the next twelve months. In addition, approximately $4 million will be disbursed, through 2016, as a result of distributions from the Company’s stock fund. The remaining $26 million may be paid over a period through 2033.
	During second quarter 2012, papermaking equipment was decommissioned and, by year-end 2012, certain real property used in the papermaking operations was abandoned. As a result, accelerated depreciation of $64.7 million was recorded during 2012. Related to the decommissioning of papermaking assets, stores and spare parts inventories were revalued to lower of cost or market and resulted in a write-down of $11.1 million. Construction in progress of $1.2 million was also written off during the year ended December 29, 2012. These were all noncash charges.

	During 2013, the Company made mandatory debt repayments of $1.3 million, plus interest, on its State of Ohio loans. Prior to the June 2013 voluntary refinancing discussed below, Appvion borrowed an additional $36.9 million, net, from the old revolving credit facility. This was repaid in full with $6.0 million of proceeds from the $335 million first lien term loan and $34.6 million of borrowing from the new revolving credit facility. During the remainder of 2013, the Company borrowed $212.8 million and repaid $205.2 million on its new revolving credit facility, leaving an outstanding balance of $7.6 million as of year-end 2013. In addition, approximately $12.9 million of the new revolving credit facility was used to support outstanding letters of credit.
	On November 19, 2013, Appvion completed a voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt to extend debt maturities and reduce interest expense. The refinancing included the issuance of $250 million of second lien senior secured notes payable carrying an interest rate of 9.0%. The notes will mature on June 1, 2020. Proceeds, less expenses and discounts, were $242.3 million. A portion of these proceeds was used to redeem the $32.2 million of remaining 9.75% senior subordinated notes payable due June 2014, plus interest of $1.6 million. Proceeds were also used to redeem in full the $161.8 million of 11.25% second lien notes payable due December 2015, plus $9.3 million of interest. In conjunction with the redemption of the second lien notes, a note premium of $33.2 million was paid to the noteholders and was recorded as debt extinguishment expense on the current year Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The remaining proceeds were used to repay $4.2 million of the revolving credit facility. Transaction expenses totaling $6.5 million were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs in other long-term assets of the Consolidated Balance Sheet dated December 28, 2013. Also as a result of this refinancing, $1.4 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 28, 2013.
	These second lien senior secured notes are unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guaranteed by PDC and Appvion Canada, Ltd. The notes are secured by a second-priority security interest in substantially all of the property and assets of Appvion and the debt guarantors. These liens are junior in priority to the liens on this same collateral securing the outstanding debt incurred under the credit agreement. The notes contain covenants customary for similar debt which restrict Appvion’s ability, as well as the ability of the guarantors, to sell or lease certain assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies, incur additional debt or issue preferred shares, incur liens, pay dividends or make other distributions, make other restricted payments and investments, place restrictions on the ability of certain of Appvion’s subsidiaries to pay dividends or other payments to Appvion, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, amend particular agreements relating to Appvion’s transaction with its former parent AWA and the ESOP and enter into transactions with certain affiliates.
	On August 1, 2013, the Company made a mandatory debt repayment of $2.7 million, plus interest, on a portion of its Industrial Development Bonds.
	On June 28, 2013, Appvion completed a voluntary refinancing of a portion of its debt to extend debt maturities, reduce interest costs and increase financial flexibility and liquidity options. The refinancing included the execution of a new credit agreement providing for a $100 million five-year revolving line of credit due June 2018 and a $335 million first lien term loan due June 2019. The new line of credit replaced the five-year, $100 million revolving credit facility due February 2015. The new revolving credit facility provides for up to $100 million of revolving loans including a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $25 million and a swing line sub-facility of up to $5 million. Appvion’s borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR plus 4.5%, per annum.
	Proceeds from the $335 million first lien term loan, less expenses and discounts, were $326.3 million. These proceeds were used to redeem $300.7 million of the 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015, pay $1.1 million of interest due on the notes, pay $18.1 million of note premiums and costs associated with the note redemption, repay $6.0 million of the old revolver and pay $0.4 million of interest and fees due on the old revolver. The $18.1 million note premium is included in debt extinguishment expense on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 28, 2013. In addition, there was a cash outlay of $7.2 million for debt acquisition costs. As a result of the refinancing, $6.7 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with the redeemed senior secured first lien notes and old revolver were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense.
	The first lien term loan bears interest at Appvion’s option at either base rate plus 3.5% or LIBOR, but not less than 1.25%, plus 4.5%, per annum. On July 30, 2013, Appvion fixed the interest rate at 7.24%, on $100.0 million of this variable rate debt using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. The term loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.0% of the original principal amount, with the balance payable on June 28, 2019. Also, within five business days after the year-end financial statements have been filed, Appvion shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of the term loan equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 50% of defined excess cash flow, provided that such percentage shall be reduced to (1) 25% based upon Appvion achieving a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 3.50 to 1.0 but greater than or equal to 2.50 to 1.0 and (2) 0% based upon Appvion achieving a consolidated leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.0 minus (b) the aggregate amount of all prepayments of the revolving credit line which constitute permanent reductions of the revolving credit facility and all optional prepayments of the first lien term loan made during the year. Based on the required calculation, no amount is due for the six months ended December 28, 2013.
	On July 31, 2013, Appvion redeemed the remaining $4.3 million of 10.5% senior secured first lien notes due June 2015, plus interest and $0.2 million of debt extinguishment expense. In addition, $0.1 million of unamortized deferred debt issuance costs and original issue discount were written off and included in debt extinguishment expense.
	The new credit agreement ranks senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of Appvion and is secured by security interests in substantially all of the property and assets of Appvion and the debt guarantors. As noted above, the maturity date of the revolving credit facility is June 28, 2018 and the maturity date of the first lien term loan is June 28, 2019. The new credit agreement is unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guaranteed by PDC and Appvion Canada, Ltd. It contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for similar credit facilities, which among other things, require Appvion to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under certain circumstances and restricts Appvion’s ability and the ability of Appvion’s subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions, make investments, make loans and advances, transact certain asset sales, engage in mergers, acquisitions, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, pay dividends or make other payments in respect of equity interests and other restricted payments, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, limit capital expenditures and make prepayments, redemptions and repurchases of other indebtedness.
	During March 2012, the Company received the proceeds of a $0.3 million note issued to Appvion, Inc. by Columbia County, Wisconsin.
	The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants at December 28, 2013, and is forecasted to remain compliant for the next 12 months. The Company’s ability to comply with the financial covenants in the future depends on achieving forecasted operating results and operating cash flows. The Company’s failure to comply with its covenants, or an assessment that it is likely to fail to comply with its covenants, could lead the Company to seek amendments to, or waivers of, the financial covenants. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to obtain any amendments to or waivers of the covenants. In the event of noncompliance with debt covenants, if the lenders will not amend or waive the covenants, the debt would be due and the Company would need to seek alternative financing. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to obtain alternative financing. If the Company were not able to secure alternative financing, this would have a material adverse impact on the Company.
	Scheduled repayment of principal on long-term obligations outstanding at December 28, 2013, is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	In conjunction with the acquisition of Appvion, PDC elected to be treated as a subchapter S corporation and elected that its eligible subsidiaries be treated as qualified subchapter S subsidiaries for U.S. federal and, where recognized, state and local income tax purposes. As a result, its tax provision includes only foreign and minimal state and local income taxes. For 2013 the Company recorded a net tax provision of $0.2 million primarily for Canadian income taxes. For 2012 the Company recorded a net tax provision of $0.6 million primarily for Canadian income taxes. For 2011 the Company recorded a net tax provision of $0.6 million primarily for U.S. state and local income taxes.
	All U.S. federal C corporation tax years are closed. Various Canadian and state tax years remain open. Reserves for uncertain tax positions, as they relate to these matters, are insignificant.

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities	'
	12.      DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	The Company selectively uses financial instruments to manage some market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. The fair values of all derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in a derivative’s fair value is recorded each period in current earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted transactions that are subject to foreign currency exchange exposure by using forward exchange contracts. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value using Level 2 observable market inputs. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward note, also deemed to be categorized as Level 2. The effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when the underlying transactions occur and affect earnings or if it becomes probable the forecasted transactions will not occur. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates. The notional amount of foreign exchange contracts used to hedge foreign currency transactions was $22.0 million as of December 28, 2013. These contracts have settlement dates extending through December 2014.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted commodity transactions that are subject to pricing fluctuations by using collar contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in energy prices. These contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value using Level 2 observable market inputs based on the New York Mercantile Exchange as measured on the last trading day of the accounting period and compared to the collar price. The contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings. At December 28, 2013, the hedged volumes of these contracts totaled 1,341,054 MMBTU (Million British Thermal Units) of natural gas. The contracts have settlement dates extending through December 2014.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted commodity transactions that are subject to pricing fluctuations by using swap contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in pulp prices. During first quarter 2012, there were two pulp swap contracts in place. The first swap had a hedge volume of 2,000 tons of pulp and was settled in February 2012. It was not designated as a hedge, and therefore, gains or losses due to changes in fair value were recorded in current period earnings. The second pulp hedge was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted pulp purchases, and therefore, the change in the effective portion of the fair value of the hedge was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income until the inventory containing the pulp was sold. This pulp hedge was settled as of September 30, 2012. As of December 28, 2013, there were no pulp swap contracts in place.
	On July 30, 2013, Appvion entered into an interest rate swap contract on $100 million of its variable rate first lien term loan with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019.  This interest rate swap pays the Company variable interest at the three-month LIBOR rate or a fixed floor rate of 1.25%, whichever is greater, and the Company pays the counterparty a fixed interest rate. The fixed LIBOR interest rate for the contract is 2.74%. Based on the terms of the interest rate swap contract and the underlying debt, the interest rate contract was determined to be effective, and thus qualifies as a cash flow hedge. Any changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows.
	The following table presents the location and fair values of derivative instruments included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at year-end 2013 and 2012, respectively  (dollars in thousands):

	The Company has various defined benefit pension plans and defined contribution pension plans. This includes a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) to provide retirement benefits for management and other highly compensated employees whose benefits are reduced by the tax-qualified plan limitations of the pension plan for eligible salaried employees.

	As of the 2013 and 2012 measurement dates, the approximate asset allocations by asset category for the Company’s pension plan were as follows:
		December 28, 2013			December 29, 2012
	U.S. Equity	26	%		38	%
	International Equity	7			15
	Private Equity	2			2
	Emerging Market Equity	7			10
	Fixed Income	54			30
	Real Estate	4			5
Total	100	%		100	%
The Company’s Benefits Finance Committee (the “Committee”) is, among other things, charged with monitoring investment performance. The Committee periodically reviews fund performance and asset allocations. The plan trustee makes changes as necessary to realign the asset mix with the target allocations. The Committee has an investment policy for the pension plan assets that establishes target asset allocations by asset class, as follows:
Total U.S. Equity (including private equity)	28	%
Total International Equity	14	%
Real Estate	4	%
Bonds	54	%
The investment policy objectives adopted by the Committee are designed to (a) provide benefit security to plan participants, (b) support accounting policy and funding goals, (c) maintain a target funded ratio to avoid adverse outcomes, and (d) promote stability and growth in funded status. The Committee is assisted by an investment advisor in managing the fund investments and establishing asset allocations and long-term return expectations. The investment advisor develops and maintains long-term return, risk and correlation expectations for a broad array of capital markets which the Committee uses in its monitoring activity.
The expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption is developed considering the relative weighting of plan assets, the historical performance of total plan assets and individual asset classes and economic and other indicators of future performance. Expected returns for each asset class are developed using estimates of expected real returns plus expected inflation. Long-term expected real returns are derived from future expectations for the U.S. Treasury real yield curve. Based on the assumptions and methodology described above, the Company selected 6.75% at year-end 2013 and 7.75% at year-end 2012 as its long-term rate of return on assets assumptions.
The discount rate is developed by selecting a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds appropriate to provide for the projected benefit payments of the plan. This portfolio is selected from a universe of over 500 Aa-graded noncallable bonds available in the market as of December 28, 2013, further limited to those bonds with average yields between the 10th and 90th percentiles. After the bond portfolio is selected, a single rate is determined that equates the market value of the bonds selected to the discounted value of the plan’s benefit payments. Based on the methodology described above, and a selected portfolio of 20 bonds, the Company selected a discount rate of 5.04% for 2013 and 4.15% for 2012 to value year-end liabilities for the pension plans.
In accordance with ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” the fair value of the assets within the pension plan as of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

Description of Fair Value Measurements
Level 1 – Quoted, active market prices for identical assets or liabilities. Foreign and domestic common stocks are exchange-traded and are valued at the closing price reported by the respective exchanges on the day of valuation. Share prices of the funds, referred to as a fund's Net Asset Value (“NAV”), are calculated daily based on the closing market prices and accruals of securities in the fund's total portfolio (total value of the fund) divided by the number of fund shares currently issued and outstanding. Redemptions of the mutual funds, collective trust funds and funds for employee benefit trust shares occur by contract at the respective fund’s redemption date NAV.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted active market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. The pension plan’s Level 2 investments include foreign and domestic common stocks, mutual funds, collective trust funds and funds for employee benefit trust. The NAVs of the funds are calculated monthly based on the closing market prices and accruals of securities in the fund's total portfolio (total value of the fund) divided by the number of fund shares currently issued and outstanding. Redemptions of the mutual funds, collective trust fund and funds for employee benefit trust shares occur by contract at the respective fund’s redemption date NAV.
Level 3 – Valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable in the marketplace. The pension plan’s Level 3 assets are primarily investment funds which invest in underlying groups of investment funds or other pooled investment vehicles that are selected by the respective funds’ investment managers. The investment funds and the underlying investments held by these investment funds are valued at fair value. In determining the fair value of these assets, management takes into account the estimated NAV of the underlying funds, as well as any other considerations that may increase or decrease such estimated value.
While the Company believes its valuation methods for plan assets are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions, particularly as applied to Level 3 assets described below, could have a material effect on the computation of their estimated fair values.

The Company expects to contribute approximately $18.0 million to its funded pension plan in 2014. The defined benefit plan provides that hourly employees receive payments of stated amounts for each year of service. Payments under the defined benefit plan covering salaried employees are based on years of service and the employees’ compensation during employment. At December 28, 2013, the accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit plans was approximately $411.5 million. At December 29, 2012, the accumulated benefit obligation for the defined benefit plans was approximately $450.4 million.
Certain of the Company’s hourly employees participated in a multi-employer defined benefit plan, the Pace Industry Union-Management Pension Plan (EIN #11-6166763). Participants in this plan included the West Carrollton represented manufacturing employees, where the collective bargaining agreement expired April 1, 2012. Participants also included the represented employees at the Kansas City, Kansas distribution center, where the collective bargaining agreement expired December 31, 2011. The Company’s contributions to this plan were $1.3 million in 2012 and $1.8 million in 2011. As a result of labor contracts ratified in June 2012 and September 2012, by the bargaining employees at the Kansas City, Kansas distribution center and West Carrollton, Ohio plant, respectively, both groups elected to end their participation in this multi-employer plan and instead participate in the defined benefit pension plan sponsored by the Company. This resulted in a full withdrawal from the multi-employer plan, for which, the Company recorded a $7.0 million expense in third quarter 2012 representing its estimated cost to satisfy its complete withdrawal liability under the terms of the plan’s trust agreement. This was in addition to the $18.0 million partial withdrawal liability recorded during first quarter 2012 due to the workforce reduction at the West Carrollton, Ohio plant resulting from the cessation of papermaking activities. The estimated obligation for the complete withdrawal liability was derived from available information, including but not limited to collective bargaining agreements, plan trust agreements, participation agreements, ERISA statutes, regulations and rulings, discussions with the plan trustee, and discussions with legal counsel. Therefore, the Company has recorded a $25 million liability as its best estimate of the amount to satisfy the withdrawal liability, with a payment period extending up to 20 years, discounted in accordance with ASC Section 450-20-S99-1.
A deferred compensation plan, named the Executive Nonqualified “Excess” Plan of Appvion, Inc., effective on February 1, 2006, was established for highly-compensated employees, including all directors and executive officers. Salaried employees, with base salaries of $100,000 and over, are eligible to participate in the plan. This plan was established for the purpose of allowing a tax-favored option for saving for retirement when the IRS limits the ability of highly-compensated employees to participate under tax-qualified plans. This plan allows for deferral of compensation on a pre-tax basis and accumulation of tax-deferred earnings. Participants in the plan may choose to have deferrals increased or decreased based on the performance of a selection of mutual funds. No assets are actually set aside to fund the Company’s obligation under this plan. The non-employee directors are also allowed to participate in this plan. For the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, $3.9 million and $2.2 million was recorded in other long-term assets, respectively. In addition, for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, $3.9 million and $2.2 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities, respectively.

	15.      POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
	The Company has defined postretirement benefit plans that provide medical, dental and life insurance for certain retirees and eligible dependents.
	The status of these plans, including a reconciliation of benefit obligations and the funded status of the plans, as well as the key assumptions used in accounting for the plans, is as follows (dollars in thousands):
	Other Postretirement Benefits	2013			2012

	Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet consist of:
	Accrued benefit liability-current	$	-2,637		$	-3,248
	Accrued benefit liability-noncurrent		-30,605			-38,440
	Net amount recognized	$	-33,242		$	-41,688
	Key assumptions at end of period
	Discount rate		4.50	%		3.71	%
	Valuation year medical trend		6.50	%		7.00	%
	Ultimate medical trend		5.00	%		5.00	%
	Year ultimate medical trend reached	2016			2016
	The discount rate is developed by selecting a portfolio of high-quality corporate bonds appropriate to provide for the projected benefit payments of the plan. This portfolio is selected from a universe of over 500 Aa-graded noncallable bonds available in the market as of December 28, 2013, further limited to those bonds with average yields between the 10th and 90th percentiles. After the bond portfolio is selected, a single rate is determined that equates the market value of the bonds selected to the discounted value of the plan’s benefit payments. Based on the methodology described above, and a selected portfolio of 25 bonds, the Company selected a discount rate of 4.50% for the postretirement benefit plan.
	The December 28, 2013, accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”) was determined using assumed medical care cost trend rates of 6.50%, decreasing one half percent each year to an ultimate rate of 5% in 2016. The December 29, 2012, APBO was determined using assumed medical care cost trend rates of 7.0%, decreasing one half percent each year to an ultimate rate of 5% in 2016.
	The amount in accumulated other comprehensive income in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, that has not been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, is as follows (dollars in thousands):
		2013			2012
	Prior service credit	$	6,598		$	8,595
	The amount in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost over the next year is shown below (dollars in thousands):
	Amortization of prior service credit	$	1,206
	As the result of a new labor agreement ratified in September 2012, represented manufacturing employees in West Carrollton, Ohio, will not be eligible for post-Medicare retiree health plan coverage if they retire after March 31, 2014. This change resulted in an estimated reduction to the year-end 2012 benefit obligation of $1.1 million.
	Due to a significant reduction in the represented manufacturing workforce, resulting from the ceasing of papermaking operations at the West Carrollton, Ohio facility, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of $3.7 million in second quarter 2012. This curtailment also called for the plan to be remeasured as of the date of the event triggering the curtailment, using assumptions appropriate to that date. The plan’s cost was remeasured as of May 31, 2012, using a discount rate of 4.21%.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation [Abstract]	'
Long-Term Incentive Compensation	'
	16.      LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
	In December 2001, the Company adopted the Appvion, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Effective January 3, 2010, the Company adopted a long-term restricted stock unit plan ("RSU"). Both plans utilize phantom units. The value of a unit in the LTIP is based on the change in the fair market value of PDC’s common stock under the terms of the employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) between the grant date and the exercise date. All units granted under the LTIP may be exercised after three full years. Units expire ten years after the grant date. The value of a unit in the RSU is based on the value of PDC common stock, as determined by the ESOP trustee. All RSUs vest three years after the award date and are paid at vesting. The cash payment upon vesting is equal to the value of one share of PDC common stock at the most recent valuation date times the number of units granted. RSU units can be deferred to the Non-Qualified Excess Plan if the recipient so elects shortly after the units have been granted. All units under both the LTIP and RSU plans will vest immediately, and cash payment will be made, upon a change in control as defined in the plans.  At year-end 2013, the fair market value of one share of PDC common stock is $16.25.
	The Compensation Committee of the board establishes the number of units granted each year under these plans in accordance with the Compensation Committee’s stated goals and policies. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to use either, or both, plan(s) as appropriate to attract, motivate and retain key management employees while managing the expense to the Company. During 2013, 194,100 additional units were granted under the LTIP plan and 114,925 additional units were granted under the RSU plan. During 2012, 283,000 additional units were granted under the LTIP plan and 116,500 additional units were granted under the RSU plan. During 2011, all units, totaling 770,500 units, were granted under the LTIP. Units are valued using the most recent PDC stock price as determined by the semi-annual ESOP valuation as of June 30 and December 31.
	Approximately $0.1 million, $1.6 million and $0.5 million of expense, related to the LTIP plan, was recorded during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively within selling, general and administrative expenses. Based on the Company’s common stock price as of the end of December 2013, the Company had $0.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested phantom units granted under the plans. Since the inception of the plan, 3,851,270 phantom units have been granted, 1,416,360 phantom units have been forfeited and 421,410 phantom units have been exercised, leaving an outstanding balance of 2,013,500 phantom units at December 28, 2013. A summary of 2011 - 2013 activity within the LTIP plan is as follows:

	During 2011, 5,540 phantom units were exercised with a minimal appreciation value. During 2012 and 2013, no phantom units were exercised. As of December 28, 2013, a liability of approximately $2.2 million was included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, of which, $2.0 million was classified as short-term and represents 579,500 vested units with appreciated value. The remaining $0.2 million was classified as long-term and represents 255,500 unvested units with appreciated value.
	Approximately $1.0 million, $1.5 million and $1.1 million of expense, related to the RSU plan, was recorded during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Since the inception of the plan, 444,425 units have been granted, 66,800 units have been forfeited and 161,500 units became fully vested and were paid, leaving an outstanding balance of 216,125 units at December 28, 2013. On January 2, 2013, 160,000 RSU units became fully vested and exercisable. In accordance with the plan, payment for these RSU’s was made on February 22, 2013. In addition, on July 2, 2013, 1,500 RSU units became fully vested and exercisable. Payment for these RSU’s was made on August 9, 2013. A summary of 2011 – 2013 activity within the RSU plan is as follows:
		Weighted				Weighted Average		Aggregate
		Average Grant				Remaining		Intrinsic Value
		Grant		Grant		Contractual		(dollars in
		Unit Price		Units		Life (Years)		thousands)

	Outstanding, December 28, 2013	$	16.37		216,125		1.6	$	3,512
	Beginning in 2006, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation agreement with each of its non-employee directors. Deferred compensation is in the form of phantom units and is earned over the course of six-month calendar periods of service beginning January 1 and July 1. The number of units to be earned is calculated using the established dollar value of the compensation divided by the fair market value of one share of PDC common stock as determined by the semi-annual ESOP valuation. This deferred compensation vests coincidental with the board member’s continued service on the board. Upon cessation of service as a director, the deferred compensation will be paid in five equal annual cash installments. During 2013, expense for this plan was approximately $0.2 million. During 2012, expense for this plan was approximately $0.3 million. During 2011, expense for this plan was approximately $0.3 million.

	Lower Fox River
	Appvion Removed as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”). On April 10, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin granted Appvion’s motion for summary judgment and dismissed all claims against Appvion in the enforcement action. The decision establishes that Appvion is no longer a PRP, no longer liable under the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”), no longer considered a legal successor to NCR’s liabilities, and no longer required to comply with the 106 Order commanding remediation of the Lower Fox River. In addition, on July 3, 2012, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin determined that Appleton Coated Paper Company and NCR did not arrange for the disposal of hazardous waste within the meaning of CERCLA.
	In January 2008, NCR and Appvion filed a lawsuit in federal court against various defendants, including PRPs and certain municipalities, to require contribution to the cost of remediating the Lower Fox River.  In December 2009, the court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment dismissing the claim.  The court also dismissed the counterclaims filed by the various defendants. NCR and Appvion have appealed the dismissal of the claims and the defendants have appealed the dismissal of the counterclaims.
	The rulings do not affect Appvion’s rights or obligations to share defense and liability costs with NCR in accordance with the terms of a 1998 agreement and a 2005 arbitration determination (“the Arbitration”) arising out of Appvion’s acquisition of assets from NCR in 1978 while it was a subsidiary of B.A.T Industries Limited (“BAT”). Appvion and BAT have joint and several liability under the Arbitration for certain costs relating to the Lower Fox River and other potential future sites. Appvion has initiated the dispute resolution procedures outlined in the 1998 agreement and arbitration is scheduled to commence in March 2014. Issues in dispute include the scope of Appvion’s liability under the agreement, if any, as well as funding requests and supporting documentation from NCR (the “Dispute Resolution”). The current carrying amount of Appvion’s liability under the Arbitration is $59.3 million, which represents Appvion’s best estimate of potential amounts to be paid. On June 8, 2012, BAT served AWA with a claim filed in a United Kingdom court, seeking a declaration that BAT is indemnified by AWA from and against any losses relating to the Lower Fox River. On June 26, 2012, BAT served Appvion with the same claim, seeking a declaration that BAT is indemnified by Appvion. On February 10, 2014, Appvion filed a defense and counterclaim against BAT seeking a declaration that BAT is required to reimburse Appvion for damages in excess of $100 million representing BAT’s share of past liability costs paid by Appvion and that BAT is ordered to pay its share of future liability costs.
	Prior to the ruling in the above enforcement action, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (“DNR”) claimed Appvion was a PRP with respect to historic discharges of polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) into the Lower Fox River in Wisconsin. Carbonless paper containing PCBs was manufactured at what is currently the Appleton plant from 1954 until 1971. During this period, wastewater containing PCBs was discharged into the Lower Fox River from a publicly-owned treatment works, from the Combined Locks, Wisconsin paper mill and from other local industrial facilities. Wastewater from the Appleton plant was processed through the publicly-owned treatment works. Appvion purchased the Appleton plant and the Combined Locks, Wisconsin paper mill from NCR in 1978, long after the use of PCBs in the manufacturing process was discontinued. The EPA issued an administrative order in November 2007, directing the PRPs to implement the remedial action of the Fox River pursuant to which certain of the PRPs commenced remediation in 2008. The various PRPs, including NCR, the EPA and the DNR continue to contest the scope, extent and costs of the remediation as well as the appropriate bases for determining the parties’ relative shares of the remediation cost.
	The rulings also do not affect either of the two indemnification agreements entered in 2001 wherein AWA agreed to indemnify PDC and PDC agreed to indemnify Appvion for costs, expenses and liabilities related to certain governmental and third-party environmental claims (including certain claims under the Arbitration), which are defined in the agreements as the Fox River Liabilities. Appvion has recorded a $59.3 million environmental indemnification receivable as of December 28, 2013.
	Estimates of Liability. The accrued Arbitration liability is derived from available information, including consideration of uncertainties regarding the scope and cost of implementing the final remediation plan, the scope of restoration and final valuation of natural resource damage (“NRD”) assessments, the evolving nature of remediation and restoration technologies and governmental policies, NCR’s share of liability relative to other PRPs and the extent of BAT’s performance under the Arbitration. Appvion believes NCR has paid more than its estimated share of the liability based on the assumptions below. Based on the analysis of available information, it is reasonably possible that the Company’s costs to satisfy its Arbitration liability, when ultimately settled, could range from $6 million to $300 million, with a payment period extending beyond ten years. The Company has recorded a liability of $59.3 million at December 28, 2013, which is its best estimate of the probable loss within this range. The Company believes the likelihood of an outcome in the upper end of the range is significantly less than other possible outcomes within the range. Interim legal determinations may periodically obligate NCR (and BAT and Appvion pursuant to the Arbitration) to fund portions of the cleanup costs to extents greater than NCR’s share as finally determined, and in such instances, Appvion may reserve additional amounts (including appropriate reimbursement under its indemnification agreements as discussed below).
	The following assumptions were used in evaluating Appvion’s Arbitration liability:
		"	As of December 31, 2013, NCR has recorded an estimated liability of $112 million representing its portion of defense and liability costs with respect to the Lower Fox River;
		"	Technical analyses contending that discharges from NCR’s former assets represent 8% to 10% of the total PCBs discharged by the PRPs;
		"	Appvion’s and BAT’s joint and several responsibility for over half of the claims asserted against NCR, based on the Arbitration and the Dispute Resolution;
		"	Based on legal analyses and ongoing reviews of publicly-available financial information, Appvion believes that other PRPs will be required, and have adequate financial resources, to pay their respective shares of the remediation and NRD claims for the Lower Fox River; and
		"	Legal fees and other expenses.
	Appvion believes its recorded liability reflects its best estimate of potential payments under the Arbitration. While it is reasonably possible that Appvion may be responsible for payments in excess of the recorded liability under the Arbitration, additional payments are not deemed probable because ongoing litigation, continuing negotiation, and the Dispute Resolution process could significantly affect Appvion’s future obligation under the Arbitration.
	AWA Indemnification. Pursuant to two indemnification agreements entered in 2001, AWA agreed to indemnify PDC and PDC agreed to indemnify Appvion for costs, expenses and liabilities related to certain governmental and third-party environmental claims, which are defined in the agreements as the Fox River Liabilities and other potential future sites.
	Under the indemnification agreements, Appvion is indemnified for the first $75 million of Fox River Liabilities and for amounts in excess of $100 million. During 2008, Appvion paid $25 million to satisfy its portion of the Fox River Liabilities not covered by the indemnification agreement with AWA. As of December 28, 2013, AWA has paid $279.2 million in connection with Fox River Liabilities. At December 28, 2013, PDC’s total indemnification receivable from AWA was $59.3 million, all of which is recorded in other current assets.
	In March 2008, Appvion received favorable jury verdicts in a state court declaratory judgment relating to insurance coverage of its environmental claims involving the Fox River. A final judgment and order was entered in January 2009 and upheld by the Wisconsin Court of Appeals in June 2010. Settlements have been negotiated between the insurers and Appvion. Under the terms of the indemnification agreement, recoveries from insurance are reimbursed to AWA to the extent of its indemnification obligation. During 2010, Appvion recorded an $8.9 million receivable, representing settlements to be received in excess of amounts reimbursable to AWA, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2011. During 2011, Appvion received $6.2 million of these funds. During third quarter 2012, an additional environmental expense insurance recovery of $2.2 million was recorded as a separate line item within operating loss on the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and all remaining funds were received by Appvion in 2012.
	The indemnification agreements negotiated with AWA are designed to ensure that Appvion will not be required to fund any of the indemnified costs and expenses in relation to the Fox River Liabilities. This arrangement is working as designed. However, based on Appvion’s review of the financial condition of AWA and estimates of Appvion’s potential liability, Appvion’s ultimate liability pursuant to the Arbitration could prove to be significantly larger than the current carrying amount. In that instance, the ultimate liability would likely exceed the financial capability of AWA. In the event Appvion is unable to secure payment from AWA or its former parent companies, Appvion would be liable for potential amounts determined pursuant to the Arbitration and these amounts may be material to Appvion.
	West Carrollton
	The West Carrollton, Ohio facility operates pursuant to various state and federal permits for discharges and emissions to air and water. As a result of the de-inking of carbonless paper containing PCBs through the early 1970s, there may have been releases of PCBs and volatile organic compounds into the soil in the area of the wastewater impoundments at the West Carrollton facility and low levels of PCBs have been detected in the groundwater immediately under this area. In addition, PCB contamination is present in sediment in the adjacent Great Miami River, but it is believed that this contamination is from a source other than the West Carrollton facility.
	Based on investigation and delineation of PCB contamination in soil and groundwater in the area of the wastewater impoundments, the Company believes that it may be necessary to undertake remedial action in the future, although the Company is currently under no obligation to do so. The Company has not had any discussions or communications with any federal, state or local agencies or authorities regarding remedial action to address PCB contamination at the West Carrollton facility. The cost for remedial action, which could include installation of a cap, long-term pumping, treating and/or monitoring of groundwater and removal of sediment in the Great Miami River, was estimated in 2001 to range up to approximately $10.5 million, with approximately $3 million in short-term capital costs and the remainder to be incurred over a period of 30 years. However, costs could exceed this amount if additional contamination is discovered, if additional remedial action is necessary or if the remedial action costs are more than expected.
	Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate course of action for the West Carrollton facility property, the Great Miami River remediation and the Company’s share of these remediation costs, if any, and since the Company is currently under no obligation to undertake remedial action in the future, no provision has been recorded in its financial statements for estimated remediation costs. In conjunction with the acquisition of PDC by the ESOP in 2001, and as limited by the terms of the purchase agreement, AWA agreed to indemnify the Company for 50% of all environmental liabilities at West Carrollton up to $5.0 million and 100% of all such environmental costs exceeding $5.0 million. In addition, the former owners and operators of the West Carrollton facility may be liable for all or part of the cost of remediation of historic PCB contamination.
	Litigation Settlements
	During first quarter 2011, the Company resolved litigation initiated by a supplier over contract terms and recorded a charge to income of $3.1 million, including legal fees. Prior to resolution, the Company had assessed the potential for liability as less than reasonably possible. However, during a court-ordered pre-trial mediation, the parties were able to resolve the litigation to the satisfaction of both parties.
	During third quarter 2011, the Company received payment of $23.2 million of damages, including interest and net of related fees and litigation expenses. This was the result of a favorable jury trial verdict, received in 2009, related to litigation commenced by the Company against Andritz BMB AG and Andritz, Inc. During the time that followed, the defendants’ attempts to overturn the verdict were unsuccessful. In March 2011, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals issued a decision unanimously affirming the final judgment. On September 1, 2011, the Wisconsin Supreme Court denied the defendants’ petition seeking further review of the matter. This income was recorded in the other expense (income) section of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Other
	From time to time, the Company may be subject to various demands, claims, suits or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. A comprehensive insurance program is maintained to provide a measure of financial protection against such matters, though not all such exposures are, or can be, addressed by insurance. Estimated costs are recorded for such demands, claims, suits or proceedings of this nature when reasonably determinable. The Company has successfully defended such claims, settling some for amounts which are not material to the business and obtaining dismissals in others. While the Company will vigorously defend itself and expects to prevail in any similar cases that may be brought against it in the future, there can be no assurance that it will be successful.
	Except as described above, and assuming the Company’s expectations regarding defending such demands, claims, suits or other legal or regulatory proceedings prove accurate, the Company does not believe that any pending or threatened demands, claims, suits or other legal proceedings will have, individually or in the aggregate, a materially adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations or cash flows.

Concentrations Of Credit And Other Risks [Abstract]	'
Concentration Risk Disclosure [Text Block]	'
	19.      CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT AND OTHER RISKS
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments that exceed the maximum federally insured limits and trade receivables. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high quality financial funds that, by policy, limit their exposure to any one financial security.
	Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base. The Company does not believe it is dependent upon any single customer. Sales to the Company’s two largest customers each represented approximately 8% and 7% of net sales in both 2012 and 2013 and 7% and 6% of net sales in 2011.
	The five largest customers in the carbonless papers segment accounted for approximately 39% of carbonless papers net sales in 2013, 33% of carbonless papers net sales in 2012 and 32% of carbonless papers net sales in 2011. The five largest customers in the thermal papers segment accounted for approximately 39% of thermal papers net sales in 2013, 40% of thermal papers net sales in 2012 and 47% of thermal papers net sales in 2011. The largest external customer in the Encapsys segment accounted for approximately 57% of Encapsys net sales (which include internal sales to the Company’s carbonless papers segment) in 2013, 58% in 2012 and 59% in 2011.
	Base stock is a key raw material in the Company’s business. In 2013, the Company purchased approximately $235 million of base stock from external suppliers. Approximately $45 million of this base stock was purchased for the production of carbonless products with approximately 98% purchased from one external supplier. The Company purchased approximately $190 million of base stock for the production of thermal products with approximately 62% purchased from a single external supplier. In 2012, the Company purchased approximately $195 million of base stock from external suppliers. Approximately $39 million of this base stock was purchased for the production of carbonless products with approximately 89% purchased from one external supplier. The Company purchased approximately $156 million of base stock for the production of thermal products with approximately 61% purchased from a single external supplier. In 2011, the Company purchased approximately $114 million of base stock from external suppliers. Approximately $17 million of this base stock was purchased for the production of carbonless products with approximately 86% purchased from one external supplier. The Company purchased approximately $95 million of base stock for the production of thermal products with approximately 50% purchased from a single external supplier.

The KSOP is a tax-qualified retirement plan that also contains a 401(k) feature, which provides participants with the ability to make pre-tax contributions to the KSOP by electing to defer a percentage of their compensation. The ESOP is a tax-qualified employee stock ownership plan that is designed to invest primarily in the common stock of PDC.
	Eligible participants, as “named fiduciaries” under ERISA, were offered a one-time irrevocable election in 2001 to acquire a beneficial interest in the common stock of PDC by electing to direct the transfer of all or a portion of their existing account balances in the KSOP and the 401(a) plan (Appleton Papers Inc. Retirement Medical Savings Plan) to the Company Stock Fund. The total proceeds transferred by eligible participants to the Company Stock Fund were approximately $106.8 million. All proceeds of the offering were used by the ESOP trustee to purchase 10,684,373 shares of PDC common stock. As a result of this purchase, the ESOP owns 100% of the common stock of PDC. The ESOP trustee is expected to purchase common stock from PDC with future pre-tax payroll deferrals made by employees. The Company also intends to fund a significant part of its matching contribution commitment with common stock of PDC. Matching contributions charged to expense amounted to $2.6 million in 2013, $3.0 million in 2012 and $2.7 million in 2011.
	The value of each participant’s account balance will be paid to that participant, or that participant’s beneficiary, in the case of the participant’s death, upon the participant’s retirement, death, disability, resignation, dismissal or permanent layoff. Requests for lump sum distributions from the Company Stock Fund will be granted in accordance with a uniform, nondiscriminatory policy established by the ESOP committee. Covenants in the credit agreement, as amended, providing for the first lien term loan and revolving credit facility, as well as the indenture governing the new secured second lien notes restrict Appvion’s ability to pay dividends to PDC, which could limit PDC’s ability to repurchase shares distributed to ESOP participants who have terminated employment or who are entitled to diversification rights. PDC has obligations to make distributions to former participants in the ESOP under ERISA and these obligations may conflict with the terms of these debt agreements. During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company exercised its right to satisfy requests for distributions to former participants using five equal annual installments.
	In 2013, the ESOP trustee purchased 171,569 shares of PDC redeemable common stock for an aggregate price of $2.9 million from pre-tax payroll deferrals, rollovers and loan payments made by employees, as well as interest received by the trust. Matching contributions over this same period resulted in an additional 154,916 shares of redeemable common stock being issued. As a result of hardship withdrawals, required diversifications, employee terminations and employee loan requests, 927,491 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased during 2013 at an aggregate price of $16.4 million
	In 2012, the ESOP trustee purchased 184,444 shares of PDC redeemable common stock for an aggregate price of $2.9 million from pre-tax payroll deferrals, rollovers and loan payments made by employees, as well as interest received by the trust. Matching contributions over this same period resulted in an additional 194,122 shares of redeemable common stock being issued. As a result of hardship withdrawals, required diversifications, employee terminations and employee loan requests, 861,256 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased during 2012 at an aggregate price of $14.1 million.
	In 2011, the ESOP trustee purchased 213,502 shares of PDC redeemable common stock for an aggregate price of $2.9 million from pre-tax payroll deferrals, rollovers and loan payments made by employees, as well as interest received by the trust. Matching contributions over this same period resulted in an additional 202,715 shares of redeemable common stock being issued. As a result of hardship withdrawals, required diversifications, employee terminations and employee loan requests, 916,621 shares of PDC redeemable common stock were repurchased during 2011 at an aggregate price of $12.4 million.
	In accordance with the ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” redeemable equity securities are required to be accreted so the amount in the balance sheet reflects the estimated amount redeemable at the earliest redemption date based upon the redemption value at each period end. Redeemable common stock is being accreted up to the earliest redemption date, mandated by federal law, based upon the estimated fair market value of the redeemable common stock as of December 28, 2013. The earliest redemption date, as mandated by federal law, occurs when the holder reaches 55 years of age and has 10 years of participation in the KSOP. At that point, the holder has the right to make diversification elections for a period of six years. For several semi-annual periods prior to year-end 2010, stock valuations resulted in decreases to the stock price. The impact of these past reductions, as well as a decrease in the year-end 2013 share price, caused the Company to reduce redeemable common stock accretion by $7.5 million for the year ended December 28, 2013. The year-end 2013 share price was $16.25. Based upon the estimated fair value of the redeemable common stock, an ultimate redemption liability of approximately $132 million has been determined. The redeemable common stock recorded book value as of December 28, 2013, was $63 million. Since the inception of the ESOP, approximately $27 million of accretion has been recorded. The fair value of the redeemable common stock is determined by an independent, third-party appraiser selected by Reliance Trust Company, the ESOP Trustee, as required by law and the ESOP. Such valuations are made as of June 30 and December 31. Until the independent valuation is received, the fair value of the stock is estimated by management. The interim estimates as of the first and third quarter of each year may differ from the values determined by the appraiser as of June 30 and December 31. Adjustments, if any, as of the first quarter and third quarter of each year, will be recorded when the independent valuation is received. The accretion is being charged to retained earnings as redeemable common stock is the only class of shares outstanding.

Segment Information [Abstract]	'
Segment Information	'
	22.      SEGMENT INFORMATION
	The Company’s reportable segments are as follows: Encapsys, thermal papers and carbonless papers. The accounting policies applicable to these reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Management evaluates the performance of the segments based primarily on operating income (loss). Items excluded from the determination of segment operating income (loss) are unallocated corporate charges, interest income, interest expense, debt extinguishment expense, foreign exchange loss (gain), recovery from litigation settlement and other expense (income).
	The Encapsys segment discovers, develops and manufactures microencapsulation solutions for new markets, external partners and for the Company’s carbonless papers segment. Microencapsulation is the process of putting a microscopic wall around a core substance. The Company helped NCR produce the first commercial application for microencapsulation in 1954 with the introduction of carbonless paper. Since then, the Company researchers have developed the art and science of microencapsulation and are working with potential partners in industries as diverse as agriculture, building and construction, paper, textiles, personal and household care, and oil and gas. The Encapsys segment leverages the Company’s extensive technical knowledge and experience with microencapsulation to create and sell new products. The Encapsys segment also uses an open innovation process with partner customers to develop successful technical solutions for those companies.
	The thermal papers segment develops and produces substrates for the transaction and item identification markets. Thermal paper is used in four principal end markets: (1) point-of-sale products for retail receipts and coupons; (2) label products for shipping, warehousing, medical and clean-room applications; (3) tag and tickets for airline and baggage applications, event and transportation tickets and lottery and gaming applications; and (4) printer, calculator and chart paper for engineering, industrial and medical diagnostic charts. Point-of-sale products are sold to printers and converters who in turn sell to end-user customers or to resellers such as office supply stores, office superstores, warehouse clubs, mail order catalogs, equipment dealers, merchants and original equipment manufacturers. Label products are sold to companies who apply pressure sensitive adhesive coatings and release liners and then sell these products to label printers. Tag, ticket and chart grades are sold to specialty printing companies who convert them to finished products such as entertainment, lottery and gaming tickets, tags, coupons and medical charts.
	The carbonless papers segment includes carbonless, security and other specialty paper products. Carbonless paper is used to make multipart business forms such as invoices and purchase orders. The Company produces coated products for design and print applications and offers custom coating solutions. Carbonless products are sold to converters, printers and merchant distributors who stock and sell carbonless paper to printers. The Company also produces security papers with features that resist forgery, tampering and counterfeiting. The Company’s portfolio of products incorporates security technologies, including watermarks, taggants, reactive chemicals, embedded threads and fibers and machine-readable technologies, to serve global markets.
	The Company does not allocate total assets internally in assessing operating performance and does not track capital expenditures by segment. Net sales, operating income (loss) and depreciation and amortization, as determined by the Company for its reportable segments, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

	During fourth quarter 2013, the Company recorded a mark-to-market gain of $61.9 million related to its retiree benefit plans. This gain was allocated as follows: $37.3 million to carbonless papers, $20.5 million to thermal papers, $3.2 million to Encapsys and $0.9 million to unallocated corporate charges. During fourth quarter 2012, the Company recorded a mark-to-market loss of $32.3 million related to its retiree benefit plans. This loss was allocated as follows: $18.6 million to carbonless papers, $11.3 million to thermal papers, $0.6 million to Encapsys and $1.8 million to unallocated corporate charges.
	During the year ended December 29, 2012, the Company recorded $106.0 million in restructuring expense and other costs related to the ceasing of papermaking operations at the West Carrollton, Ohio facility (see Note 3, Restructuring and Other Related Costs). The 2012 operating losses of the carbonless papers and thermal papers segments included $58.3 million and $47.7 million, respectively. A $6.8 million settlement charge relating to the full withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan was also recorded in the 2012 thermal papers segment. Unallocated corporate charges for the year included $7.5 million of transaction costs for a discontinued business combination that was to take place during third quarter 2012. Also during 2012, a charge of $2.2 million of environmental expense insurance recovery was recorded.
	Of the $106.0 million of restructuring and other related charges recorded during 2012, $64.7 million was accelerated depreciation of the decommissioned papermaking assets. The carbonless papers segment was charged with $35.6 million of this accelerated depreciation and the thermal papers segment was charged with $29.1 million.
	During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a $3.1 million litigation settlement within unallocated corporate charges.
	Revenues from sales in the U.S. were $593.6 million in 2013, $577.3 million in 2012 and $576.7 million in 2011. Revenues from sales to customers in foreign countries were $213.8 million in 2013, $272.5 million in 2012 and $280.6 million in 2011. Substantially all long-lived assets were located in the U.S. as of December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Fiscal Year	'
	FISCAL YEAR
	The Company’s fiscal year is the 52-week or 53-week period ending the Saturday nearest December 31. Fiscal year 2013 was a 52-week period ending December 28, 2013. Fiscal year 2012 was a 52-week period ending December 29, 2012. Fiscal year 2011 was a 52-week period ending December 31, 2011
Use Of Estimates	'
	USE OF ESTIMATES
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The more critical estimates made by management relate to environmental contingencies, pension and postretirement assumptions, accrued discounts, intangible and tangible asset impairment analyses, fair market value of redeemable common stock and receivable reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition	'
	REVENUE RECOGNITION
	Revenue is recognized by the Company when all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of a selling arrangement exists; the Company’s price to the customer is fixed; collectability is reasonably assured; and title has transferred to the customer. These criteria are met at the time of shipment. Estimated costs for sales incentives, discounts and sales returns and allowances are recorded as sales reductions in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. The Company typically does not invoice its customers for shipping and handling fees, which are classified as selling, general and administrative expenses and totaled approximately $42 million for 2013, $46 million for 2012 and $48 million for 2011.
Derivative Financial Instruments And Hedging Activities	'
	DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	The Company selectively uses financial instruments to manage some market risks from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or commodity prices and follows the guidance of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The fair values of all derivatives are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change in a derivative’s fair value is recorded each period in current earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income, depending on whether the derivative is designated and qualifies as part of a hedge transaction and, if so, the type of hedge transaction.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted transactions that are subject to foreign currency exchange exposure by using forward exchange contracts. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815 and are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings when the underlying transactions occur and affect earnings or if it becomes probable the forecasted transaction will not occur. These contracts are highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in currency exchange rates.
	The Company selectively hedges forecasted commodity transactions that are subject to pricing fluctuations by using collar contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in energy prices. These contracts are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The contracts’ gains or losses due to changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings.
	The Company had selectively hedged forecasted commodity transactions that were subject to pricing fluctuations by using swap contracts to manage risks associated with market fluctuations in pulp prices. As of December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, no contracts were in place. At year-end 2011, there were two pulp swap contracts in place. One contract was not designated as a hedge and its gains or losses due to changes in fair value were recorded in current period earnings. The second contract was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted pulp purchases and the change in the effective portion of the fair value of this hedge was deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income until the inventory containing the pulp was sold.
	In July 2013, the Company fixed the interest rate, at 7.24%, on $100 million of its variable rate first lien term loan using an interest rate swap contract with a forward start date of September 14, 2014 and a maturity date of June 28, 2019. This interest rate swap contract has been designated as a cash flow hedge and is recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The effective portion of the contract’s gains or losses due to changes in fair value is initially recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings when the underlying transactions occur and affect earnings or if it becomes probable the forecasted transaction will not occur. This contract is highly effective in hedging the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates.
	For the years ended December 28, 2013, December 29, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the amounts recognized in earnings due to ineffectiveness of hedge transactions were immaterial. The amount reported as realized and unrealized losses on derivatives was immaterial in 2013. The amount reported as realized and unrealized losses on derivatives of $2.9 million in 2012, in accumulated other comprehensive income, represents the net loss on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The amount reported as realized and unrealized gains of $1.4 million in 2011, in accumulated other comprehensive income, represents the net gain on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.
Cash Equivalents	'
	CASH EQUIVALENTS
	Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in institutional money market funds with daily liquidity. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, there were cash overdrafts of approximately $10.9 million and $10.7 million, respectively, which are included in accounts payable within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Inventories	'
	INVENTORIES
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method for raw materials, work in process and finished goods inventories. Stores and spare parts inventories are valued at average cost. Finished goods and work in process inventories include the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.
Property, Plant And Equipment	'
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, including interest incurred during construction and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for income tax purposes. The general range of useful lives for financial reporting is 10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Maintenance and repair costs that do not significantly improve the related asset or extend its useful life are charged to expense as incurred. When assets are sold or retired, their cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with resulting gains or losses reflected in operating income.
Internal Use Software	'
	INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE
	Costs incurred related to the development of internal use software are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” which requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred in connection with developing or obtaining software for internal use once certain criteria are met. Capitalized software costs are amortized over the lesser of 8 years or the useful life of the software using the straight-line method.
Intangible Assets	'
	INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	Certain intangible assets (including a portion of registered trademarks) have been determined to have indefinite useful lives and will not be amortized until their useful lives are determined to no longer be indefinite. Other intangible assets (customer relationships and the remaining registered trademarks) are amortized over their estimated useful lives of 20 to 25 years.
Impairment Of Intangibles And Long-Lived Assets	'
	IMPAIRMENT OF INTANGIBLES AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS
	The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. This impairment analysis consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
	The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets with definite lives and other long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The fair value of the assets is based on an analysis of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the determined fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized based upon anticipated discounted cash flows from the asset.
Income Taxes	'
	INCOME TAXES
	In conjunction with the acquisition of Appvion, PDC elected to be treated as a subchapter S corporation and elected that its eligible subsidiaries be treated as qualified subchapter S subsidiaries for U.S. federal and, where recognized, state and local income tax purposes, and therefore, the Company anticipates that it will not incur any future U.S. federal income tax liability and minimal state and local income tax liabilities.
	Ineligible subsidiaries account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided against deferred tax assets in those circumstances where it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset may not be realized.
Employee Benefit Plans	'
	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
	The Company provides a range of benefits to its employees and retired employees, including pensions and postretirement healthcare. The Company recognizes all actuarial gains and losses immediately in net periodic cost annually in the fourth quarter of each year and whenever a plan is determined to qualify for a remeasurement during a fiscal year, and the market-related value of plan assets used in the cost calculations is equal to fair value.
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	'
	FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
	ASC 820 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
	Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
	When available, quoted market prices were used to determine fair value and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, observable market-based inputs were used to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.
	Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.
	ASC 820 expanded the definition of fair value to include the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or by the Company) will not be fulfilled. For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. For certain other financial assets and liabilities (Level 2 and 3), fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.
	The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is primarily based on models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine the discounted cash flows that result in a measurement that is classified as Level 2. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate, also deemed to be categorized as Level 2.
	In addition to the methods and assumptions used to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed above, the following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments as required by ASC 825, “Financial Instruments.”  Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable recorded in the balance sheets approximate fair value based on the short maturity of these instruments. Fair values of long-term debt are estimated based on market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments.

Accounting Pronouncements	'
	ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
	In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." This guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following: (a) The amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (b) Any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The guidance also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation. ASU 2013-04 is effective for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, though early adoption is permitted, and retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This update adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The updated standard is effective prospectively for the Company's annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the disclosures have been included in its consolidated financial statements in Note 23, Accumulated other Comprehensive Income.
	In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, “Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” It provides the option to perform a qualitative, rather than quantitative, assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. ASU 2012‑02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, though early adoption was permitted. As required, the Company adopted this guidance beginning in the first quarter ended March 31, 2013 and there was no impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as a result of adoption.
	In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. It expands required disclosures related to the nature of an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. It requires disclosure of net and gross positions in covered financial instruments and derivative instruments which are either (1) offset in accordance with ASC Sections 210-20-45 or 815-10-45, or (2) subject to an enforceable netting or other similar arrangement. To clarify the guidance provided in ASU 2011-11, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" in January 2013. It clarifies the scope of the guidance to include derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to master netting or similar arrangements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will be required to adopt this guidance as of its fiscal year beginning December 29, 2013 and is evaluating the effects, if any, the adoption will have on its consolidated financial statements.
