	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.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued new guidance related to how an entity should recognize revenue. The guidance specifies that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In addition, the guidance expands the required disclosures related to revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017. Early adoption is not permitted and retrospective application is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its financial position and results of operations.

Acquisition of Mivisa	'
	Acquisition of Mivisa
	On April 23, 2014 , the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of the sole shareholder of Mivisa Envases, S.A.U. (“Mivisa”) for $733, net of $28 in cash acquired, plus debt assumed. Mivisa, based in Murcia, Spain, primarily serves the vegetable, fruit, fish and meat markets and is the largest food can producer in both the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. The acquisition is expected to significantly build upon the Company's existing position in the strategically important European food can segment by substantially increasing the Company's presence in Spain, one of Europe's leading agricultural economies.
	From the acquisition date to June 30, 2014, Mivisa generated net sales of $121 and a net loss of $2 including a charge of $15 related to fair value adjustments for the sale of inventory acquired in the acquisition.
	The following table summarizes the consideration transferred to acquire Mivisa and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.
	Fair value of consideration transferred
	Cash	$	733
	Total consideration	$	733
	Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
	Receivables, net	205

	Intangible assets	336
	Property, plant and equipment, net	314
	Net assets of acquired business to be divested	9
	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	(149		)
	Debt	(977		)
	Other non-current liabilities	(136		)
	Total identifiable net assets	$	(184	)
	Goodwill	$	917
	Goodwill is primarily attributable to expected synergies arising from the acquisition as well as the assembled workforce of Mivisa. All of the goodwill was assigned to the Company's European Food segment and is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
	The fair value of the assets acquired includes receivables of $205. The gross contractual amount due is $227 of which $22 is expected to be uncollectible.
	The acquired property, plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining useful lives of the equipment in accordance with the Company's existing policies and procedures.
	Intangible assets include $15 of acquired trademarks that will be amortized over one year and $321 of customer relationships that will be amortized over fifteen years.
	The Company has not finalized its valuation of the assets acquired and as a result has not yet finalized its purchase price allocation. The Company expects to finalize the purchase price allocation within one year of the acquisition date.

		Number of shares
	Non-vested stock awards outstanding at January 1, 2014	2,042,272
	Awarded:
	Time-vesting	156,294

	Performance-based-shares awarded in 2011	(196,667	)
	Non-vested stock awards outstanding at June 30, 2014	2,034,996
	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.
	In January 2014, the performance-based shares awarded in 2011 were forfeited as the required market performance condition was not met.
	In May 2014, the Company granted a general award of 61,200 shares of time-vesting restricted stock and deferred stock. The shares vest ratably over three years commencing in 2016.
	The weighted average grant-date fair values of the 2014 and 2013 time-vesting stock awards were $46.18 and $43.43 and the performance-based stock awards were $48.31 and $36.75, respectively.
	The fair value of the performance-based shares awarded in 2014 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 performance-based 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%.
	At June 30, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding nonvested stock awards was $52. The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is 3.3 years. The aggregate market value of the shares released and issued on the vesting dates was $5. The Company has assumed an annual forfeiture rate of 3% on the general awards.

	Net trade receivables	1,046			884
	Miscellaneous receivables	218			180
	Receivables, net	$	1,264		$	1,064
	In 2014, the Company amended its North American securitization facility to provide for the sale of certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. As of June 30, 2014, the Company derecognized receivables sold of $254 and recognized a deferred purchase price of $134 which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred purchase price receivable is reduced as collections of the underlying receivables occur; however, as this is a revolving program, the sale of new receivables will result in an increase in the deferred purchase price receivable. The net change in the deferred purchase price receivable was reflected in the receivables line item on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This activity is reflected as an operating cash flow because the related customer receivables are the result of an operating activity with an insignificant, short-term interest rate risk.

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 J 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 June 30, 2014 mature between one and twenty-eight 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.

	Total		$	(23	)		$	(39	)	$	(11	)	$	(12	)
	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized a gain of $3 and a loss of $4, respectively, 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 losses in the future that could be material.
	During the twelve month period ending June 30, 2015, a net loss of $5 ($5, net of tax) is expected to be reclassified to earnings. No amounts were reclassified during the six months ended June 30, 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 six months ended June 30, 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 gain of $1 and a gain of less than $1 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and a gain of $1 and loss of $5 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The impact on earnings from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedges was a loss of $12 and a loss of $13 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and a gain of $10 and a loss of $3 for the same periods 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 June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

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 six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid $11 to settle outstanding claims and had claims activity as follows:
	Beginning claims	53,000
	New claims	1,500
	Settlements or dismissals	(1,000	)
	Ending claims	53,500
	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:
	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 June 30, 2014.
	As of June 30, 2014, the Company’s accrual for pending and future asbestos-related claims and related legal costs was $244, including $203 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).

	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 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 June 30, 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 $6. 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 June 30, 2014, the Company also had guarantees of $37 related to the residual values of leased assets.

	For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2013, the Company's effective income tax rate was higher primarily due to non-deductible transaction costs incurred in connection with the Company's acquisition of Mivisa and higher losses in jurisdictions that are not currently expected to realize the related tax benefit. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 2013, the Company's effective income tax rate was also higher due to non-deductible impairment charges related to the divestment of certain operations in connection with the Company's acquisition of Mivisa.

	Segment Information
	The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment income. Segment income, which is not a defined term under GAAP, is defined by the Company as gross profit excluding the impact of fair value adjustments related to the sale of inventory acquired in an acquisition and the timing impact of hedge ineffectiveness, less selling and administrative expenses. Segment income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to calculations of similarly titled measures by other companies.

	In 2014, the Company amended its North American securitization facility to provide for the sale of certain customer receivables without recourse on a revolving basis. As of June 30, 2014, the Company derecognized receivables sold of $254 and recognized a deferred purchase price of $134 which was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred purchase price receivable is reduced as collections of the underlying receivables occur; however, as this is a revolving program, the sale of new receivables will result in an increase in the deferred purchase price receivable. The net change in the deferred purchase price receivable was reflected in the receivables line item on the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. This activity is reflected as an operating cash flow because the related customer receivables are the result of an operating activity with an insignificant, short-term interest rate risk.
