	Accounting and Reporting Developments
	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
	In the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted changes to the guidance on a parent’s accounting for cumulative translation adjustments upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The changes primarily clarified existing guidance regarding when cumulative translation adjustments should be released into earnings upon the occurrence of various events. The change did not impact the Company's financial statements in the first quarter.
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In April 2014, the FASB issued changes to the definition of a discontinued operation to include only disposals that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The guidance, which will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2015, applies prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. Early adoption is permitted.

	Stock-Based Compensation
	A summary of restricted and deferred stock transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2014 follows:
		Number of shares
	Non-vested stock awards outstanding at January 1, 2014	2,042,272
	Awarded:
	Time-vesting	95,094
	Performance-based	174,481
	Released:
	Time-vesting shares awarded in 2011 through 2013	(107,284	)
	Forfeitures:
	Time-vesting	(15,500	)
	Performance-based-shares awarded in 2011	(196,667	)
	Non-vested shares outstanding at March 31, 2014	1,992,396
	In January 2014, the Company awarded shares of restricted stock to certain senior executives consisting of time-vesting awards which vest ratably over three years and performance-based shares which cliff vest at the end of three years. The number of performance-based shares that will ultimately vest is based on the level of market performance achieved, ranging between 0% and 200% of the shares originally awarded, and will be settled in stock. The market performance criteria is the Company's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR"), which includes share price appreciation and dividends paid, during the three-year term of the award measured against the TSR of a peer group of companies.
	The average grant-date fair value of the 2014 and 2013 restricted stock awards was $44.32 and $38.68 for time-vesting shares and $48.31 and $36.75 for performance-based shares.
	The fair value of the performance-based shares awarded was calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation model. The estimated weighted average grant-date fair value of the 174,481 performance-based shares awarded in 2014 was $48.31 using a weighted average stock price volatility of 21.5%, an expected term of three years, and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.80%. The variables used to value the 2013 award included a weighted average stock price volatility of 22.40%, an expected term of three years, and a weighted average risk-free rate of 0.34%.
	In January 2014, the performance-based shares awarded in 2011 were forfeited as the required market performance condition was not met.
	At March 31, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding nonvested stock awards was $54. The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is 3.5 years. The aggregate market value of the shares released and issued on the vesting dates was $5.

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract]	'
Derivative and Other Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative and Other Financial Instruments
	Fair Value Measurements
	Under GAAP a framework exists for measuring fair value, providing a three-tier hierarchy of pricing inputs used to report assets and liabilities that are adjusted to fair value. Level 1 includes inputs such as quoted prices which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the report date. Level 2 includes inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 3 includes unobservable pricing inputs that are not corroborated by market data or other objective sources. The Company has no items valued using Level 3 inputs other than certain pension plan assets.
	The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.
	The Company applies a market approach to value its commodity price hedge contracts. Prices from observable markets are used to develop the fair value of these financial instruments and they are reported under Level 1. The Company uses an income approach to value its foreign exchange forward contracts. These contracts are valued using a discounted cash flow model that calculates the present value of future cash flows under the terms of the contracts using market information as of the reporting date, such as foreign exchange spot and forward rates, and are reported under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
	Fair value disclosures for financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis are provided later in this note. In addition, see Note I for fair value disclosures related to debt.
	Derivative Financial Instruments
	In the normal course of business the Company is subject to risk from adverse fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company manages these risks through a program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily swaps and forwards. Counterparties to these contracts are major financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
	The Company’s objective in managing exposure to market risk is to limit the impact on earnings and cash flow. The extent to which the Company uses such instruments is dependent upon its access to these contracts in the financial markets and its success using other methods, such as netting exposures in the same currencies to mitigate foreign exchange risk and using sales agreements that permit the pass-through of commodity price and foreign exchange rate risk to customers.
	For derivative financial instruments accounted for in hedging relationships, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the manner in which effectiveness will be assessed. The Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the hedging relationships are effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the instruments is recognized immediately in earnings.
	Cash Flow Hedges
	The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges. No components of the hedging instruments are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in fair value of outstanding derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges, except any ineffective portion, are recorded in other comprehensive income until earnings are impacted by the hedged transaction. Classification of the gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations upon reclassification from comprehensive income is the same as that of the underlying exposure. Contracts outstanding at March 31, 2014 mature between one and thirty months.
	When the Company discontinues hedge accounting because it is no longer probable that an anticipated transaction will occur in the originally specified period, changes to fair value accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized immediately in earnings.
	The Company uses forward contracts to hedge anticipated purchases of various commodities, including aluminum, fuel oil and natural gas and these exposures are hedged by a central treasury unit.
	The Company also designates certain foreign exchange contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated sales or purchases. The Company manages these risks at the operating unit level. Often the hedging of foreign currency risk is performed in concert with related commodity price hedges.
	The following table sets forth financial information about the impact on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and earnings from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.
			Amount of gain/(loss)							Amount of gain/(loss)
			recognized in AOCI							reclassified from AOCI

	Commodities		(8		)		(17		)	(13		)	(2		)
	Total		$	(8	)		$	(17	)	$	(15	)	$	(2	)
	For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized a net loss of $5 related to hedge ineffectiveness caused primarily by volatility in the metal premium component of aluminum prices. In the event that recent volatility in metal premiums continues, it is possible that the Company could record additional losses in the future that could be material.
	For the twelve month period ending March 31, 2015, a net loss of $21 ($19, net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings. No amounts were reclassified during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 in connection with anticipated transactions that were no longer considered probable.
	Fair Value Hedges and Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
	The Company designates certain derivative financial instruments as fair value hedges of recognized foreign-denominated assets and liabilities, generally trade accounts receivable and payable and unrecognized firm commitments. The notional values and maturity dates of the derivative instruments coincide with those of the hedged items. Changes in fair value of the derivative financial instruments, excluding time value, are offset by changes in fair value of the related hedged items.
	Other than for firm commitments, amounts related to time value are excluded from the assessment and measurement of hedge effectiveness and are reported in earnings. Less than $1 was reported in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
	Certain derivative financial instruments, including foreign exchange contracts related to intercompany debt, were not designated in hedge relationships; however, they are effective economic hedges as the changes in their fair value, except for time value, are offset by changes in re-measurement of the related hedged items. The Company’s primary use of these derivative instruments is to offset the earnings impact that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies. Changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are immediately recognized in earnings as foreign exchange adjustments.
	The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges was a loss of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a gain of $3 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges was a loss of $1 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a loss of $3 for the same period in 2013. These adjustments were reported within foreign exchange in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were offset by changes in the fair values of the related hedged item.
	Fair Values of Derivative Financial Instruments and Valuation Hierarchy
	The following table sets forth the fair value hierarchy for the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	Offsetting of Derivative Assets and Liabilities
	Certain derivative financial instruments are subject to agreements with counterparties similar to master netting arrangements and are eligible for offset. The Company has made an accounting policy election not to offset the fair values of these instruments within the statement of financial position. In the table below, the aggregate fair values of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities are presented on both a gross and net basis, where appropriate.

	Restructuring and Other
	For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $52 including $42 of impairment charges related to the planned divestment of certain operations in connection with the acquisition of Mivisa, $8 of other charges including strip and clean costs associated with prior restructuring actions and incremental costs associated with the temporary relocation of production due to an ongoing labor dispute in the Company's Americas Beverage segment and $2 of transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Mivisa.
	As a condition for approval of the Company's acquisition of Mivisa by the European Commission, the Company entered into agreements to divest certain operations. The Company expects the sales to close in 2014. The underlying assets and liabilities of the operations to be divested are presented as held for sale in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and their carrying value has been written down to fair value less costs to sell.
	For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded restructuring and other charges of $4 related to other exit costs associated with prior restructuring actions.
	The tables below summarize the outstanding accrual balances associated with prior restructuring actions.
	2011 European Division Headquarters Relocation
	Through March 31, 2014, the Company incurred costs of $40 which are expected to be the total costs related to the relocation of its European Division headquarters and management to Switzerland in order to benefit from a more centralized management location.
	The following table summarizes the restructuring accrual balances and utilization by cost type for the relocation:

	Other exit costs represent the estimated employee compensation costs resulting from an intercompany payment related to the relocation. The Company expects to pay these costs in 2014 and 2015.
	2011 and 2012 European Division Actions
	Through March 31, 2014, the Company incurred costs of $68 in connection with actions taken in 2011 and 2012 to reduce manufacturing capacity and headcount in its European Aerosol and Specialty Packaging businesses. These actions combined are expected to reduce headcount by approximately 474 and to eliminate approximately 20% of the businesses' capacity. Due to the similar nature of these actions, they have been combined in the rollforward presented below. The Company currently expects to incur future additional costs of $2 related to the actions which are expected to be completed in 2014 at an estimated aggregate cost of $70. The Company expects to pay the liability through 2024 as certain employees have elected to receive payout as a fixed monthly sum over 11 years. The Company continues to review its supply and demand profile and long-term plans in Europe and it is possible that the Company may record additional restructuring charges in the future.

	Through March 31, 2014, the Company incurred costs of $31 related to a cost-reduction initiative to better align costs with ongoing market conditions in its European operations, primarily in its food, aerosol and specialty packaging businesses. The action is expected to result in the reduction of approximately 235 employees when completed in 2014. The Company does not expect to incur any additional charges related to this action.

	As a result of prior restructuring actions in the Company's North America food business, the Company may incur a future charge of up to $16 related to pension settlements which may be triggered as employees elect to receive lump sum distributions. The timing and amount of the charge may be impacted by the number of employees who elect to receive lump sum distributions.

Liability for Asbestos and Environmental Claims [Abstract]	'
Asbestos-Related Liabilities	'
	Asbestos-Related Liabilities
	Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc. (“Crown Cork”) is one of many defendants in a substantial number of lawsuits filed throughout the United States by persons alleging bodily injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. These claims arose from the insulation operations of a U.S. company, the majority of whose stock Crown Cork purchased in 1963. Approximately ninety days after the stock purchase, this U.S. company sold its insulation assets and was later merged into Crown Cork.
	Prior to 1998, amounts paid to asbestos claimants were covered by a fund made available to Crown Cork under a 1985 settlement with carriers insuring Crown Cork through 1976, when Crown Cork became self-insured. The fund was depleted in 1998 and the Company has no remaining coverage for asbestos-related costs.
	In recent years, the states of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin and Wyoming enacted legislation that limits asbestos-related liabilities under state law of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The legislation, which applies to future and, with the exception of Georgia, South Carolina, South Dakota and Wyoming, pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the fair market value of the predecessor's total gross assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total value of its predecessor's assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has integrated the legislation into its claims defense strategy. The Company cautions, however, that the legislation may be challenged and there can be no assurance regarding the ultimate effect of the legislation on Crown Cork.
	In June 2003, the state of Texas enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities in Texas courts of companies such as Crown Cork that allegedly incurred these liabilities because they are successors by corporate merger to companies that had been involved with asbestos. The Texas legislation, which applies to future claims and pending claims, caps asbestos-related liabilities at the total gross value of the predecessor’s assets adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the total adjusted value of its predecessor’s assets.
	On October 22, 2010, the Texas Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision, reversed a lower court decision, Barbara Robinson v. Crown Cork & Seal Company, Inc., No. 14-04-00658-CV, Fourteenth Court of Appeals, Texas, which had upheld the dismissal of an asbestos-related case against Crown Cork. The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas legislation was unconstitutional under the Texas Constitution when applied to asbestos-related claims pending against Crown Cork when the legislation was enacted in June 2003. The Company believes that the decision of the Texas Supreme Court is limited to retroactive application of the Texas legislation to asbestos-related cases that were pending against Crown Cork in Texas on June 11, 2003 and therefore, in its accrual, continues to assign no value to claims filed after June 11, 2003.
	In December 2001, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania enacted legislation that limits the asbestos-related liabilities of Pennsylvania corporations that are successors by corporate merger to companies involved with asbestos. The legislation limits the successor’s liability for asbestos to the acquired company’s asset value adjusted for inflation. Crown Cork has paid significantly more for asbestos-related claims than the acquired company’s adjusted asset value. In November 2004, the legislation was amended to address a Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision (Ieropoli v. AC&S Corporation, et. al., No. 117 EM 2002) which held that the statute violated the Pennsylvania Constitution due to retroactive application. The Company cautions that the limitations of the statute, as amended, are subject to litigation and may not be upheld.
	The Company further cautions that an adverse ruling in any litigation relating to the constitutionality or applicability to Crown Cork of one or more statutes that limits the asbestos-related liability of alleged defendants like Crown Cork could have a material impact on the Company.
	During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid $7 to settle outstanding claims and had claims activity as follows:
	Beginning claims	53,000
	New claims	1,000
	Settlements or dismissals	(1,000	)
	Ending claims	53,000
	In the fourth quarter of each year, the Company performs an analysis of outstanding claims and categorizes by year of exposure and state filed. As of December 31, 2013, the Company's outstanding claims were:
		2013
	Claimants alleging first exposure after 1964	16,000
	Claimants alleging first exposure before or during 1964 filed in:
	Texas	13,000
	Pennsylvania	2,000
	Other states that have enacted asbestos legislation	6,000
	Other states	16,000
	Total claims outstanding	53,000
	The outstanding claims in each period exclude approximately 19,000 inactive claims. Due to the passage of time, the Company considers it unlikely that the plaintiffs in these cases will pursue further action against the Company. The exclusion of these inactive claims had no effect on the calculation of the Company’s accrual as the claims were filed in states, as described above, where the Company’s liability is limited by statute.
	With respect to claimants alleging first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlements in states where the Company’s liability is limited by statute except for certain pending claims in Texas as described earlier.
	With respect to post-1964 claims, regardless of the existence of asbestos legislation, the Company does not include in its accrual any amounts for settlement of these claims because of increased difficulty of establishing identification of relevant insulation products as the cause of injury. Given our settlement experience with post-1964 claims, we do not believe that an adverse ruling in the Texas or Pennsylvania asbestos litigation cases, or in any other state that has enacted asbestos legislation, would have a material impact on the Company with respect to such claims.
	As of December 31, the percentage of outstanding claims related to claimants alleging serious diseases (primarily mesothelioma and other malignancies) were as follows:
		2013		2012		2011
	Total claims	21	%	19	%	18	%
	Pre-1964 claims in states without asbestos legislation	39	%	36	%	33	%
	Crown Cork has entered into arrangements with plaintiffs’ counsel in certain jurisdictions with respect to claims which are not yet filed, or asserted, against it. However, Crown Cork expects claims under these arrangements to be filed or asserted against Crown Cork in the future. The projected value of these claims is included in the Company’s estimated liability as of March 31, 2014.
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $250, including $211 for unasserted claims. The Company’s accrual includes estimated probable costs for claims through the year 2023. The Company’s accrual excludes potential costs for claims beyond 2023 because the Company believes that the key assumptions underlying its accrual are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens.
	It is reasonably possible that the actual loss could be in excess of the Company’s accrual. The Company is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss in excess of its accrual due to uncertainty in the following assumptions that underlie the Company’s accrual and the possibility of losses in excess of such accrual: the amount of damages sought by the claimant (which was not specified for approximately 87% of the claims outstanding at the end of 2013), the Company and claimant’s willingness to negotiate a settlement, the terms of settlements of other defendants with asbestos-related liabilities, the bankruptcy filings of other defendants (which may result in additional claims and higher settlements for non-bankrupt defendants), the nature of pending and future claims (including the seriousness of alleged disease, whether claimants allege first exposure to asbestos before or during 1964 and the claimant’s ability to demonstrate the alleged link to Crown Cork), the volatility of the litigation environment, the defense strategies available to the Company, the level of future claims, the rate of receipt of claims, the jurisdiction in which claims are filed, and the effect of state asbestos legislation (including the validity and applicability of the Pennsylvania legislation to non-Pennsylvania jurisdictions, where the substantial majority of the Company’s asbestos cases are filed).

	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
	The Company, along with others in most cases, has been identified by the EPA or a comparable state environmental agency as a Potentially Responsible Party (“PRP”) at a number of sites and has recorded aggregate accruals of $6 for its share of estimated future remediation costs at these sites. The Company has been identified as having either directly or indirectly disposed of commercial or industrial waste at the sites subject to the accrual, and where appropriate and supported by available information, generally has agreed to be responsible for a percentage of future remediation costs based on an estimated volume of materials disposed in proportion to the total materials disposed at each site. The Company has not had monetary sanctions imposed nor has the Company been notified of any potential monetary sanctions at any of the sites.
	The Company has also recorded aggregate accruals of $7 for remediation activities at various worldwide locations that are owned by the Company and for which the Company is not a member of a PRP group. The Company has a receivable of $3 for the recovery of certain of these costs from a third party. Although the Company believes its accruals are adequate to cover its portion of future remediation costs, there can be no assurance that the ultimate payments will not exceed the amount of the Company’s accruals and will not have a material effect on its results of operations, financial position and cash flow. Any possible loss or range of potential loss that may be incurred in excess of the recorded accruals cannot be estimated.
	The Company's Italian subsidiaries received assessments for value added taxes and related income taxes from the Italian tax authorities resulting from certain third party suppliers' failures to remit required value added tax payments due by those suppliers under Italian law with respect to purchases for resale to the Company. In 2013, the Company entered into a formal agreement with the Italian tax authorities to settle these matters.
	The Company and its subsidiaries are also subject to various other lawsuits and claims with respect to labor, environmental, securities, vendor and other matters arising out of the Company’s normal course of business. While the impact on future financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists, management believes that the ultimate liabilities resulting from such lawsuits and claims will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flow.
	The Company has various commitments to purchase materials, supplies and utilities as part of the ordinary course of business. The Company’s basic raw materials for its products are steel and aluminum, both of which are purchased from multiple sources. The Company is subject to fluctuations in the cost of these raw materials and has periodically adjusted its selling prices to reflect these movements. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to fully recover any increases or fluctuations in raw material costs from its customers. The Company also has commitments for standby letters of credit and for purchases of capital assets.
	At March 31, 2014, the Company was party to certain indemnification agreements covering environmental remediation, lease payments and other potential costs associated with properties sold or businesses divested. For agreements with defined liability limits the maximum potential amount of future liability was $7. The Company accrues for costs related to these items when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. At March 31, 2014, the Company also had guarantees of $38 related to the residual values of leased assets.
