Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant management judgment is required in determining the accounting for, among other things, pension and postretirement benefits, retained insurable risks, reserves for sales discounts and allowances, purchase price allocations, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for tangible and intangible long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes, contingencies, inventory obsolescence and market reserves and the valuation of stock-based compensation. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) delivery has occurred, (2) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (3) pricing is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. The timing of revenue recognition is largely dependent on shipping terms. Sales are reported net of allowable discounts and estimated returns. Reserves for cash discounts, trade allowances and sales returns are estimated using historical experience. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , $0.3 million of the Company's cash and cash equivalents is restricted to the payment of postretirement benefits for certain former Fox River executives. Inventories U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method for financial reporting purposes, or market. German inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using a weighted-average cost method, or market. Cost includes labor, materials and production overhead. Foreign Currency Balance sheet accounts of the Company's operations in Germany, the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and Canada are translated from Euros, British Pounds and Canadian dollars, respectively, into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains or losses related to net assets located in Germany, the U.K. and Canada are recorded as unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments within Accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency) are included in Other expense — net in the consolidated statements of operations. Property and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Certain costs of software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment is sold or retired, the costs and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the gains or losses are recorded in other (income) expense — net. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is principally computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives. The weighted average remaining useful lives for buildings, land improvements and machinery and equipment are approximately 18 years , 13 years and 10 years , respectively. Units-of-production method of depreciation is used for $68.6 million of production assets, which reflects the nature of the assets' utilization. For income tax purposes, accelerated methods of depreciation are used. The costs of major rebuilds and replacements of plant and equipment are capitalized, and the cost of maintenance performed on manufacturing facilities, composed of labor, materials and other incremental costs, is expensed as incurred. Start-up costs for new or expanded facilities, including costs related to trial production, are expensed as incurred. The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations ("AROs") in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirements and Environmental Obligations , which requires companies to make estimates regarding future events in order to record a liability for AROs in the period in which a legal obligation is created. Such liabilities are recorded at fair value, with an offsetting increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company is unable to estimate its AROs for environmental liabilities at its manufacturing facilities. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC Topic 718"). The amount of stock-based compensation cost recognized is based on the fair value of grants that are ultimately expected to vest and is recognized pro-rata over the requisite service period for the entire award. Research and Development Expense Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 15, "Supplemental Data — Supplemental Statement of Operations Data." Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of pension plan assets in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC Topic 820") which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of short and long-term debt is estimated using rates currently available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The following table presents the carrying value and the fair value of the Company's debt. December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair 2021 Senior Notes (5.25% fixed rate) $ 175.0 $ 169.5 $ 175.0 $ 169.9 Global Revolving Credit Facilities (variable rates) 42.9 42.9 51.1 51.1 Second German Loan Agreement (2.5% fixed rate) 6.8 6.8 8.3 8.3 Total debt $ 224.7 $ 219.2 $ 234.4 $ 229.3 _______________________ (a) Fair value for all debt instruments was estimated from Level 2 measurements. The Company's investments in marketable securities are accounted for as "available-for-sale securities" in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities ("ASC Topic 320"). Pursuant to ASC Topic 320, marketable securities are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet and unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income until realized upon sale. At December 31, 2016 , the Company had $3.5 million in marketable securities classified as Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The cost of such marketable securities was $3.4 million . Fair value for the Company's marketable securities was estimated from Level 1 inputs. The Company's marketable securities are designated for the payment of benefits under its supplemental employee retirement plan (the "SERP"). Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets With the exception of cash and cash equivalents which are considered Level 1, pension plan assets are measured at NAV (or its equivalent) as an alternative to fair market value due to the absence of readily available market prices, and as such are not subject to the fair value hierarchy. Following is the fair value of each investment category: • Cash and cash equivalents ( $1.5 million and $6.9 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively). • U.S and non-U.S. Equities ( $112.2 million and $92.4 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively) — These proprietary mutual funds have observable net asset values (based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the funds) that are provided to investors and provide for liquidity either immediately of within a few days. • U.S and non-U.S. Fixed Income Securities ( $181.1 million and $185.8 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively) — These proprietary mutual funds have observable net asset values (based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the funds) that are provided to investors and provide for liquidity either immediately of within a few days. • Hedge Funds ( $23.3 million and $23.2 million at December 31, 2016 and 2015 , respectively) — These funds are valued using net asset values calculated by the fund managers and allow for quarterly or more frequent redemptions. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 modifies the accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based payments and amends the associated cash flow presentation. ASU 2016-09 (i) eliminates the requirement to recognize excess tax benefits in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), (ii) eliminates the requirement to evaluate tax deficiencies for APIC or income tax expense classification and (iii) provides for these benefits or deficiencies to be recorded as an income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. Additionally, the tax benefits related to dividends paid on share-based payment awards will be reflected as an income tax benefit in the income statement. With these changes, tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments will be classified as operating activities as opposed to financing activities. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt the standard in the three month period ended September 30, 2016, effective as if adopted on the first day of the fiscal year, January 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, there were no unrecognized deferred tax assets attributable to excess tax benefits. The adoption of the new standard decreased the provision for income taxes and increased income from continuing operations by $0.4 million and $1.8 million in the third quarter and the fourth quarter of 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company recast its previously reported provision for income taxes and increased income from continuing operations by $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the first and second quarter of 2016, respectively. Further, as part of the adoption, the Company elected to account for forfeitures in compensation cost as they occur. The cumulative impact for the change in election was not material. The Company elected to adopt prospectively the classification of tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments in operating cash flows. Accounting Standards Changes In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance specifies how and when an entity will recognize revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires entities to disclose information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has subsequently issued additional, clarifying standards to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. The new revenue recognition standard and clarifying standards are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and may be adopted earlier, but not before January 1, 2017. The Company has substantially completed its assessment of the new standards and does not believe there will be a material impact from adoption on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate any additional changes, modifications or interpretations of the standard which may impact its current conclusions, and believes it will adopt the new standards using the modified retrospective method as of January 1, 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current lease accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 , no other amendments to the ASC had been issued and not adopted by the Company that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings per Share ("EPS")

Earnings per Share ("EPS")	12 Months Ended

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share (EPS)	Earnings per Share ("EPS") The Company's restricted stock units ("RSUs") are paid non-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet the criteria of participating securities. Accordingly, basic EPS has been calculated using the two-class method, under which earnings are allocated to both common stock and participating securities. Basic EPS has been computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average common shares outstanding. For the computation of basic EPS, weighted average RSUs outstanding are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC Topic 260") requires companies with participating securities to calculate diluted earnings per share using the "Two Class" method. The "Two Class" method requires first calculating diluted earnings per share using a denominator that includes the weighted average share equivalents from the assumed conversion of dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is then calculated using net income reduced by the amount of distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities calculated using the "Treasury Stock" method and a denominator that includes the weighted average share equivalents from the assumed conversion of dilutive securities excluding participating securities. Companies are required to report the lower of the diluted earnings per share amounts under the two calculations subject to the anti-dilution provisions of ASC Topic 260. Diluted EPS has been computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic EPS, further adjusted to include the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and target awards of Restricted Stock Units with performance conditions ("Performance Units"), into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised or converted. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , approximately 35,000 , 45,000 and 15,000 potentially dilutive options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive common shares because the exercise price of such options exceeded the average market price of the Company's common stock for the respective 12 -month periods during which the options were outstanding. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted shares of common stock used in the calculation of EPS (amounts in millions, except share and per share amounts): Earnings per basic common share Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Income from continuing operations $ 73.4 $ 60.5 $ 68.0 Amounts attributable to participating securities (0.7 ) (0.6 ) (0.8 ) Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders 72.7 59.9 67.2 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes (0.4 ) (9.4 ) 0.7 Amounts attributable to participating securities — 0.1 — Net income available to common stockholders $ 72.3 $ 50.6 $ 67.9 Weighted-average basic shares outstanding 16,773 16,754 16,584 Basic earnings (loss) per share Continuing operations $ 4.33 $ 3.58 $ 4.05 Discontinued operations (0.02 ) (0.56 ) 0.04 $ 4.31 $ 3.02 $ 4.09 Earnings per diluted common share Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Income from continuing operations $ 73.4 $ 60.5 $ 68.0 Amounts attributable to participating securities (0.6 ) (0.5 ) (0.8 ) Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders 72.8 60.0 67.2 Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of income taxes (0.4 ) (9.4 ) 0.7 Amounts attributable to participating securities — 0.1 — Net income available to common stockholders $ 72.4 $ 50.7 $ 67.9 Weighted-average basic shares outstanding 16,773 16,754 16,584 Add: Assumed incremental shares under stock-based compensation plans 314 258 288 Weighted average diluted shares 17,087 17,012 16,872 Diluted earnings (loss) per share Continuing operations $ 4.26 $ 3.53 $ 3.99 Discontinued operations (0.02 ) (0.55 ) 0.04 $ 4.24 $ 2.98 $ 4.03

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Acquisition of FiberMark On August 1, 2015, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity of FiberMark from American Securities for approximately $118 million . FiberMark is a specialty coatings and finishing company with a strong presence in luxury packaging and technical products. In September 2015, the Company announced the planned closure of the Fitchburg Mill, acquired in the FiberMark Acquisition to consolidate its manufacturing footprint. Manufacturing operations at the Fitchburg Mill ceased in December 2015. See Note 13, "Discontinued Operations." The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"). The allocation of the purchase price was based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 1, 2015. The Company has not identified any material unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies. The Company did not recognize any in-process research and development assets as part of the acquisition. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2015 . December 31, 2015 Assets Acquired Cash and cash equivalents $ 4.8 Accounts receivable 13.7 Inventories 27.5 Deferred income taxes 2.3 Prepaid and other current assets 3.6 Property, plant and equipment 68.9 Non-amortizable intangible assets 1.3 Amortizable intangible assets 25.6 Acquired goodwill 25.5 Total assets acquired 173.2 Liabilities Assumed Accounts payable 8.0 Accrued expenses 5.6 Deferred income taxes 24.1 Noncurrent employee benefits 9.1 Other noncurrent obligations 3.1 Total liabilities assumed 49.9 Net assets acquired $ 123.3 (1) As a result of finalizing the acquisition accounting for Fibermark in the first quarter of 2016, an adjustment of $ 0.4 million was recorded as a reduction to the net deferred tax liability and to goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC Topic 820"). The fair value of amortizable and non-amortizable intangible assets was estimated by applying a royalty rate to projected revenue, net of tax impacts and adjusted for present value considerations. The Company estimated the fair value of acquired property, plant and equipment using a combination of cost and market approaches. In general, the fair value of other acquired assets and liabilities was estimated using the cost basis of FiberMark. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as acquired goodwill. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill recognized are based on several strategic and synergistic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition of FiberMark. These benefits include entry into profitable new markets for premium packaging, performance materials and specialty papers with new capabilities and recognized brands, synergies from combining the business with Neenah's existing infrastructure, and the opportunity to accelerate sales growth in areas like premium packaging. None of the goodwill recognized as part of the FiberMark acquisition will be deductible for income tax purposes. However, the Company did acquire all of the tax attributes associated with the FiberMark assets and liabilities, including an insignificant amount of tax deductible goodwill. Approximately $18.9 million , $6.2 million and $0.4 million of the goodwill acquired in the FiberMark acquisition was allocated to the Technical Products, Fine Paper and Packaging and Other segments, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company incurred $4.3 million of integration and restructuring costs. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company incurred $5.3 million of acquisition and integration costs. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , net sales and income from operations before income taxes for the acquired businesses were $58.1 million and $1.5 million (excluding the acquisition related costs described above), respectively. In conjunction with the FiberMark acquisition, the Company identified various uncertain tax positions totaling $4.7 million . Such amount was reflected in the purchase price allocation as $3.7 million of goodwill and $1.0 million of other current assets. The following selected unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was prepared as though the FiberMark acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014. The information does not reflect future events that may occur after December 31, 2015 or any operating efficiencies or inefficiencies that may result from the FiberMark acquisition. Therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved had the businesses been combined during the periods presented or the results that the Company will experience going forward. Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 Net sales $ 984.0 $ 1,003.8 Operating income 103.7 95.6 Income from continuing operations 61.7 72.8 Income (loss) from discontinued operations (9.4 ) 0.7 Net income 52.3 73.5 Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share Basic Continuing operations $ 3.65 $ 4.34 Discontinued Operations (0.56 ) 0.04 $ 3.09 $ 4.38 Diluted Continuing operations $ 3.60 $ 4.27 Discontinued Operations (0.55 ) 0.04 $ 3.05 $ 4.31 Acquisition of Crane Technical Materials On July 1, 2014, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity of the Crane Technical Materials business for approximately $72 million . The acquired business provides performance-oriented wet laid nonwoven media for filtration end markets as well as environmental, energy and industrial uses. The results of this business are reported in the Technical Products segment from the date of acquisition. The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805. The allocation of the purchase price is based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of July 1, 2014. The Company did not identify any material unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies. The Company did not acquire any in-process research and development assets as part of the acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the tangible net assets and identifiable intangible assets acquired was recorded as acquired goodwill. The factors contributing to the amount of goodwill recognized are based on several long-term strategic benefits that are expected to be realized from the acquisition of the technical materials business. These benefits include entry into growing and profitable global markets for water filtration, environmental/emissions control, and energy management with defensible technologies and brands, and the opportunity to accelerate sales growth through synergies with the Company's existing European-based filtration business. In addition, the acquisition of brands and complementary offerings facilitates the Company's expansion into non-woven product lines containing fiberglass, polymer fibers and carbon fibers. Substantially all of the acquired goodwill will be deductible for income tax purposes and is entirely allocated to the Technical Products segment. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company incurred $1.0 million of acquisition-related integration costs. In addition, the Company incurred approximately $1.1 in capital costs for IT systems and infrastructure projects. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , net sales and income from operations before income taxes for the acquired technical materials business were $24.1 million and $3.1 million (excluding the acquisition related integration costs described above), respectively. The following selected unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2014 was prepared as though the acquisition of the technical materials business had occurred on January 1, 2013. The information does not reflect future events that may occur after December 31, 2014 or any operating efficiencies or inefficiencies that may result from the acquisition of the technical materials business. Therefore, the information is not necessarily indicative of results that would have been achieved had the businesses been combined during the periods presented or the results that the Company will experience going forward. Year Ended December 31, 2014 Net sales $ 862.3 Operating income 89.2 Income from continuing operations 69.6 Income from discontinued operations 0.7 Net income 70.3 Earnings Per Common Share Basic Continuing operations $ 4.15 Discontinued Operations 0.04 $ 4.19 Diluted Continuing operations $ 4.08 Discontinued Operations 0.04 $ 4.12

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"), in recording goodwill arising from a business combination as the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually on November 30 in conjunction with preparation of its annual business plan, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired. The Company tested goodwill for impairment as of November 30, 2016. The Company elected the option under ASC Topic 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other , to perform a qualitative assessment of the Company's reporting units to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. In this qualitative assessment, the Company considered the following items for each of the reporting units: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance and other entity specific events. In addition, for each of these reporting units, the most recent fair value determination results in an amount that exceeds the carrying amount of the reporting units. Based on these assessments, the Company determined that the likelihood that a current fair value determination would be less than the current carrying amount of the reporting unit is not more likely than not. There was no impairment in the carrying value of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment . Intangible assets consist primarily of customer relationships, trade names and acquired intellectual property. Such intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of between 10 and 15 years. Certain trade names are estimated to have indefinite useful lives and as such are not amortized. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed for impairment at least annually. The following table presents the carrying value of goodwill by business segment and changes in the carrying value of goodwill. Technical Products Fine Paper and Other Gross Accumulated Gross Net Gross Amount Net Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 100.8 $ (50.3 ) $ 50.5 $ — $ — $ 50.5 Goodwill acquired in the Fibermark Acquisition 18.9 — 18.9 6.2 0.4 25.5 Foreign currency translation (9.0 ) 5.2 (3.8 ) — — (3.8 ) Balance at December 31, 2015 110.7 (45.1 ) 65.6 6.2 0.4 72.2 Adjustment of goodwill acquired in the Fibermark Acquisition (1) (0.4 ) — (0.4 ) — — (0.4 ) Foreign currency translation (2.9 ) 1.5 (1.4 ) — — (1.4 ) Balance at December 31, 2016 $ 107.4 $ (43.6 ) $ 63.8 $ 6.2 $ 0.4 $ 70.4 ______________________________________________________________________ (1) As a result of finalizing the acquisition accounting for Fibermark in the first quarter of 2016, an adjustment of $ 0.4 million was recorded as a reduction to the net deferred tax liability and to goodwill. Other Intangible Assets As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had net identifiable intangible assets of $74.0 million . All such intangible assets were acquired in the acquisitions of Neenah Germany, Fox River, FiberMark and the Crane technical materials business, and the acquisition of the Wausau and Southworth brands. The following table details amounts related to those assets.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes . Income tax expense represented 28.7 percent , 32.7 percent and 9.9 percent of income from continuing operations before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , respectively. The following table presents the principal reasons for the difference between the Company's effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2016 2015 2015 2014 2014 U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 35.0 % $ 36.1 35.0 % $ 31.5 35.0 % $ 26.4 U.S. state income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 1.9 % 2.0 2.1 % 1.9 2.1 % 1.6 Tax on foreign dividends 4.5 % 4.6 3.6 % 3.2 3.0 % 2.3 Foreign tax rate differences (a) (2.7 )% (2.8 ) (2.2 )% (2.0 ) (2.8 )% (2.1 ) Foreign financing structure (b) (1.6 )% (1.7 ) (1.3 )% (1.2 ) (2.5 )% (1.9 ) Excess tax benefits from stock compensation (c) (3.0 )% (3.1 ) — — — — Research and development and other tax credits (d) (2.8 )% (2.9 ) (3.9 )% (3.5 ) (31.9 )% (24.1 ) Domestic production activities deduction (1.5 )% (1.5 ) (2.2 )% (2.0 ) — % — Uncertain income tax positions (0.4 )% (0.4 ) 1.3 % 1.2 6.5 % 4.9 Other differences — net (0.7 )% (0.7 ) 0.3 % 0.3 0.5 % 0.4 Effective income tax rate 28.7 % $ 29.6 32.7 % $ 29.4 9.9 % $ 7.5 _______________________ (a) Represents the impact on the Company's effective tax rate due to changes in the mix of earnings among taxing jurisdictions with differing statutory rates.

See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recently Adopted Accounting Standards." (d) For 2015, the Company recognized a $1.4 million benefit related to research and development ("R&D") tax credits of FiberMark for the period 2012 through July 2015. For 2014, following an extensive study of the Company's R&D activities for the years 2005 through 2013 and a change in methodology, the Company recognized a $21.9 million net benefit related to R&D tax credits. The Company's effective income tax rate can be affected by many factors, including but not limited to, changes in the mix of earnings in taxing jurisdictions with differing statutory rates, the availability of R&D and other tax credits, changes in corporate structure as a result of business acquisitions and dispositions, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, the results of audit examinations of previously filed tax returns and changes in tax laws. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examination for years before 2013, to state and local examinations for years before 2012 and to non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2012. The following table presents the U.S. and foreign components of income from continuing operations before income taxes: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Income from continuing operations before income taxes: U.S. $ 68.3 $ 62.2 $ 46.5 Foreign 34.7 27.7 29.0 Total $ 103.0 $ 89.9 $ 75.5 The following table presents the components of the provision (benefit) for income taxes: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Provision (benefit) for income taxes: Current: Federal $ 7.1 $ 12.7 $ 0.5 State (0.5 ) 1.3 — Foreign 5.9 5.1 3.4 Total current tax provision 12.5 19.1 3.9 Deferred: Federal 14.8 7.7 6.9 State 1.8 2.3 (5.9 ) Foreign 0.5 0.3 2.6 Total deferred tax provision 17.1 10.3 3.6 Total provision for income taxes $ 29.6 $ 29.4 $ 7.5 The Company has elected to treat its Canadian operations as a branch for U.S. income tax purposes. Therefore, the amount of income (loss) before income taxes from Canadian operations are included in the Company's consolidated U.S. income tax returns and such amounts are subject to U.S. income taxes. The asset and liability approach is used to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities, net of reserves for uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances, are as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 Net deferred income tax assets Employee benefits $ 26.0 $ 27.8 Research and development tax credits 15.0 20.9 Net operating losses and credits 10.5 10.7 Accrued liabilities 3.2 2.9 Inventories (0.5 ) 1.3 Accelerated depreciation (34.0 ) (34.8 ) Intangibles (10.8 ) (10.2 ) Undistributed foreign earnings (4.4 ) — Other 1.1 1.4 Net deferred income tax assets $ 6.1 $ 20.0 Net deferred income tax liabilities Accelerated depreciation $ 12.3 $ 12.8 Intangibles 2.8 3.5 Employee benefits (5.0 ) (3.9 ) Interest limitation 0.3 (0.5 ) Net operating losses (0.3 ) (0.1 ) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ 10.1 $ 11.8 The net deferred tax assets relate to U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and the net deferred tax liabilities relate to operations of Germany and the U.K. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had $12.5 million of undistributed earnings (net of foreign taxes) of foreign subsidiaries. There were no undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 . As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had $25.2 million of U.S. federal and state R&D credits which, if not used, will expire between 2029 and 2036 for the U.S. federal R&D credits and between 2017 and 2031 for the state R&D credits. As of December 31, 2016 , we had $48.8 million of state NOLs which may be used to offset state taxable income. The NOLs are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a deferred tax asset of $2.3 million . If not used, substantially all of the NOLs will expire in various amounts between 2017 and 2035. The Company also had pre-acquisition and recognized built-in loss carryovers of $10.2 million , reflected as a deferred tax asset of $3.6 million . In addition, the Company had $3.4 million of federal Alternative Minimum Tax Credit carryovers, which can be carried forward indefinitely. The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of uncertain tax positions as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 : For the Years Ended 2016 2015 2014 Balance at January 1, $ 12.9 $ 7.0 $ 4.3 Increases in prior period tax positions — 0.5 — Decreases in prior period tax positions (2.6 ) — (2.2 ) Increases in current period tax positions 0.6 5.5 5.3 Decreases due to lapse of statute of limitations (0.3 ) — — Decreases due to settlements with tax authorities — — (0.2 ) Decreases from foreign exchange rate changes (0.3 ) (0.1 ) (0.2 ) Balance at December 31, $ 10.3 $ 12.9 $ 7.0 The $10.3 million of reserves for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2016 were reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as follows: $7.6 million netted against deferred tax assets, $1.2 million netted against (added to) deferred tax liabilities and $1.5 million in other noncurrent obligations. The $12.9 million of reserves for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2015 were reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as follows: $8.9 million netted against deferred tax assets, $1.2 million netted against (added to) deferred tax liabilities and $2.8 million in other noncurrent obligations. If recognized, $9.3 million of the benefit for uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2016 would favorably affect the Company's effective tax rate in future periods. The Company does not expect that the expiration of the statute of limitations or the settlement of audits in the next 12 months will result in liabilities for uncertain income tax positions that are materially different than the amounts that were accrued as of December 31, 2016 . The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in the Provision for income taxes on the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the Company had $0.2 million and $0.4 million , respectively, accrued for interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had a valuation allowance of $3.1 million against its state R&D credits and $0.4 million against its other state tax credits. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had a valuation allowance of $2.9 million against its state R&D credits and $0.1 million against its state NOLs. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors, including specific taxing jurisdictions, sources of taxable income, income tax strategies and forecasted earnings for the entities in each jurisdiction. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

The 2021 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.25% , payable in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing on November 15, 2013, and mature on May 15, 2021. Proceeds from this offering were used to redeem the remaining $70 million outstanding principal amount of ten -year 7.375% senior unsecured notes, originally issued on November 30, 2004, to repay approximately $56 million in outstanding revolving credit agreement borrowings and for general corporate purposes. The 2021 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"). The 2021 Senior Notes were sold in a private placement transaction, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The 2021 Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all the Company's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The guarantees of the 2021 Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Guarantors and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Guarantors. The 2021 Senior Notes and the guarantees of the 2021 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to the Company's and the Guarantors' existing and future secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral) and are structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of the Company's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 2021 Senior Notes, including the trade creditors of such non-guarantor subsidiaries. The 2021 Senior Notes contain terms, covenants and events of default with which the Company must comply, which the Company believes are ordinary and standard for notes of this nature. Among other things, the 2021 Senior Notes contain covenants restricting the Company's ability to incur certain additional debt, make specified restricted payments, pay dividends, authorize or issue capital stock, enter into transactions with the Company's affiliates, consolidate or merge with or acquire another business, sell certain of the Company's assets or liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the Company. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company was in compliance with all terms of the indenture for the 2021 Senior Notes. Amended and Restated Secured Revolving Credit Facility In December 2014, the Company amended and restated its existing credit facility by entering into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Third Amended Credit Agreement") by and among the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries as the "Domestic Borrowers", Neenah Services GmbH & Co. KG ("Neenah Services") and certain of its German subsidiaries as the "German Borrowers", certain other subsidiaries as the "German Guarantors", the financial institutions signatory to the Third Amended Credit Agreement as lenders (the "Lenders"), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as agent for the Lenders (the "Administrative Agent"). The Third Amended Credit Agreement, among other things: (1) increased the maximum principal amount of the existing credit facility for the Domestic Borrowers to $125 million (the "U.S. Revolving Credit Facility"); (2) established a secured, multicurrency, revolving credit facility for the German Borrowers in the maximum principal amount of $75 million (the "German Revolving Credit Facility," and together with the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility, the "Global Revolving Credit Facilities"); (3) caused the Company and the other Domestic Borrowers to guarantee, among other things, the obligations of the German Borrowers arising under the German Revolving Credit Facility; (4) provides for the Global Revolving Credit Facilities to mature on December 18, 2019; and (5) provides for an accordion feature permitting one or more increases in the Global Revolving Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $50 million , such that the aggregate commitments under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities do not exceed $250 million . In addition, the Domestic Borrowers may request letters of credit under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $20 million outstanding at any time, and the German Borrowers may request letters of credit under the German Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate face amount not to exceed $2 million outstanding at any time. Proceeds of borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities may be used to finance working capital needs, permitted acquisitions, permitted investments (including certain inter-company loans), certain dividends, distributions and other restricted payments, and for other general corporate purposes. The consolidated statements of cash flows present borrowings and repayments under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities and the predecessor revolving bank credit facility using a gross approach. This approach presents not only discrete borrowings for transactions such as a business acquisition, but also reflects all borrowings and repayments that occur as part of daily management of cash receipts and disbursements. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , all of the borrowings related to daily cash management. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , $38.0 million was borrowed in conjunction with the FiberMark Acquisition and the remaining $113.6 million included borrowings for daily cash management. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , all of the borrowings related to daily cash management. The right of the Domestic Borrowers to borrow and obtain letters of credit under the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility is subject to, among other things, the borrowing base of the Domestic Borrowers on a consolidated basis (the "Domestic Borrowing Base"). The right of the German Borrowers to borrow and obtain letters of credit under the German Revolving Credit Facility is similarly subject to a borrowing base requirement (the "German Borrowing Base"). The German Borrowing Base is initially determined on a combined basis for all German Borrowers. Under certain circumstances (including the occurrence of an event of default resulting from an act or omission of any German Borrower or German Guarantor), the Administrative Agent may require the German Borrowing Base to be determined separately for each of the German Borrowers. At its option the Company may, from time to time, allocate a portion of the Domestic Borrowing Base to the German Borrowing Base (resulting in a corresponding reduction of the Domestic Borrowing Base); however, the principal amount of borrowings and the outstanding letter of credit exposure under the German Revolving Credit Facility may not at any time exceed the German Revolving Credit Facility commitment amount then in effect. The guarantees of the German Guarantors are limited solely to the German Revolving Credit Facility obligations. Under the terms of the Third Amended Credit Agreement and related loan documentation, neither the German Borrowers nor the German Guarantors (collectively, the "German Loan Parties") will be liable for any obligations relating to the U.S. Revolving Credit Facility. The Global Revolving Credit Facilities are secured by liens on all or substantially all of the assets of the Domestic Borrowers. The German Revolving Credit Facility is secured by liens on all or substantially all of the assets of the German Borrowers and certain assets of the German Guarantors. Any liens granted by the German Loan Parties secure only the German Revolving Credit Facility obligations. Terms, Covenants and Events of Default. In general, borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities will bear interest at LIBOR (which cannot be less than zero percent ) plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00% , depending on the amount of availability under the Third Amended Credit Agreement. In addition, the Company may elect an Alternate Borrowing Rate ("ABR") for borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities. ABR borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities will bear interest at the highest interest rate shown in the following table: Applicable Margin U.S. Revolving Credit Facility German Revolving Credit Facility Prime rate 0.00%-0.50% Not applicable Federal funds rate +0.50% 0.00%-0.50% Not applicable Monthly LIBOR (which cannot be less than zero percent) +1.00% 0.00%-0.50% Not applicable Overnight LIBOR (which cannot be less than zero percent) Not applicable 1.50%-2.00% The Company is also required to pay a monthly commitment fee on the unused amounts available under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities at a per annum rate of 0.25% . If aggregate availability under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities is less than the greater of (i) $20 million and (ii) 10% of the maximum aggregate commitments under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities as then in effect, the Company is required to comply with a fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Third Amended Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for the preceding four-quarter period, tested as of the end of each quarter. Such compliance, once required, would no longer be necessary once (x) aggregate availability under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities exceeds the greater of (i) 17.5% of the aggregate commitment for the Global Revolving Credit Facilities and (ii) $35 million for 60 consecutive days and (y) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing during such 60 -day period. As of December 31, 2016 , aggregate availability under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities exceeded the minimum required amount, and the Company is not required to comply with such fixed charge coverage ratio. The Third Amended Credit Agreement contains covenants, which the Company believes are ordinary and standard for agreements of this nature, with which the Company and its subsidiaries must comply during the term of the agreement. Among other things, such covenants restrict the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur certain debt, incur or create certain liens, make specified restricted payments, authorize or issue capital stock, enter into transactions with their affiliates, consolidate, merge with or acquire another business, sell certain of their assets, or dissolve or wind up. In addition, if the aggregate availability under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities is less than the greater of (i) $25 million and (ii) 12.5% of the maximum aggregate commitments under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities as then in effect, the Company will be subject to increased reporting obligations and controls until such time as availability is more than the greater of (a) $35 million and (b) 17.5% of the maximum aggregate commitments under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities as then in effect. Under the most restrictive terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, we are permitted to pay cash dividends on or repurchase shares of our common stock up to the amount available under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as long as the availability under the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement exceeds $25 million . If the availability is below $25 million , we are restricted from paying dividends or repurchasing shares. As of December 31, 2016, the Company's availability exceeded $25 million , so this restriction did not apply. The Third Amended Credit Agreement also contains events of default customary for financings of this type, including failure to pay principal or interest, materially false representations or warranties, failure to observe covenants and certain other terms of the Third Amended Credit Agreement, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, bankruptcy, insolvency, various ERISA and foreign pension violations, the incurrence of material judgments and changes in control. Availability under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities varies over time depending on the value of the Company's inventory, receivables and various capital assets. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had $42.9 million of borrowings and $1.2 million in letters of credit outstanding under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities and $125.2 million of available credit (based on exchanges rates at December 31, 2016 ). As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding Revolver borrowings was 2.8 percent and 1.8 percent per annum, respectively. Under the most restrictive terms of the 2021 Senior Notes, the Company is permitted to pay cash dividends of up to $25 million in a calendar year, but not permitted to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. However, as long as the net leverage ratio (net debt/EBITDA) under the 2021 Senior Notes is below 2.5 x, the Company can pay dividends or repurchase shares without limitation. In the event the net leverage ratio exceeds 2.5 x, the Company may still pay dividends in excess of $25 million or repurchase shares by utilizing "restricted payment baskets" as defined in the indenture for the 2021 Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2016, since the Company's leverage ratio was less than 2.5 x, none of these covenants were restrictive to the Company's ability to pay dividends on or repurchase shares of the Company's common stock. Other Debt In January 2013, Neenah Germany entered into a project financing agreement for the construction of a melt blown machine (the "Second German Loan Agreement"). The agreement provides for €9.0 million of construction financing which is secured by the melt blown machine. The loan matures in September 2022 and principal is repaid in equal quarterly installments beginning in December 2014. The interest rate on amounts outstanding is 2.45% based on actual days elapsed in a 360 -day year and is payable quarterly. At December 31, 2016 , €6.5 million ( $6.8 million , based on exchange rates at December 31, 2016 ) was outstanding under the Second German Loan Agreement. Principal Payments The following table presents the Company's required debt payments: 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Thereafter Total Debt payments $ 1.2 $ 1.2 $ 44.1 $ 1.2 $ 176.2 $ 0.8 $ 224.7

Pension and Other Postretiremen

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits	12 Months Ended

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Pension Plans Except as described below for FiberMark, substantially all active employees of the Company's U.S. operations participate in defined benefit pension plans and/or defined contribution retirement plans. Neenah Germany has defined benefit plans designed to provide a monthly pension upon retirement for substantially all its employees in Germany. In addition, the Company maintains a SERP which is a non-qualified defined benefit plan. The Company provides benefits under the SERP to the extent necessary to fulfill the intent of its defined benefit retirement plans without regard to the limitations set by the Internal Revenue Code on qualified defined benefit plans. During 2016, the Company offered a lump sum payout option to all eligible U.S. participants in the Neenah Paper Pension Plan and the FiberMark Pension Plan with a deferred vested pension benefit (the participant had a vested pension benefit but was no longer an employee of the Company). For the year ended December 31, 2016 , 265 individuals elected the option and the Company paid a total of $ 8.1 million in lump-sum payments. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , as allowed under ASC Topic 715, Compensation — Retirement Benefits ("ASC Topic 715"), the Company adopted a policy to recognize settlement losses for deferred vested pension benefit payments regardless of whether the amount exceeded the sum of expected service cost and interest costs of the pension plan for the respective calendar year. In accordance with ASC Topic 715, for the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company measured the liabilities of the post-retirement benefit plans and recognized a settlement loss of $ 0.8 million . During 2014, the Company offered a lump sum payout option to all eligible U.S. participants in the Neenah Paper Pension Plan with a deferred vested pension benefit (the participant had a vested pension benefit but was no longer an employee of the Company). For the year ended December 31, 2014 , 425 individuals elected the option and the Company paid a total of $ 14.0 million in lump-sum payments. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , benefit payments under certain post-retirement benefit plans exceeded the sum of expected service cost and interest costs for these plans. In accordance with ASC Topic 715, for the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company measured the liabilities of the post-retirement benefit plans and recognized a settlement loss of $ 3.5 million . The Company's funding policy for its U.S. qualified defined benefit plan and its U.K. defined benefit plan is to contribute assets to fully fund the projected benefit obligation. Subject to regulatory and tax deductibility limits, any funding shortfall is to be eliminated over a reasonable number of years. Nonqualified plans providing pension benefits in excess of limitations imposed by taxing authorities are not funded. There is no legal or governmental obligation to fund Neenah Germany's benefit plans and as such the Neenah Germany defined benefit plans are currently unfunded. As of December 31, 2016 , Neenah Germany had investments of $1.6 million that were restricted to the payment of certain post-retirement employee benefits. As of December 31, 2016 , $0.6 million and $1.0 million of such investments are classified as Prepaid and other current assets and Other assets, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company also holds $3.5 million of marketable securities that are designated for the payment of benefits under the SERP as of December 31, 2016 , classified as Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company uses the fair value of pension plan assets to determine pension expense, rather than averaging gains and losses over a period of years. Investment gains or losses represent the difference between the expected return calculated using the fair value of the assets and the actual return based on the fair value of assets. The Company's pension obligations are measured annually as of December 31. FiberMark Defined benefit plans FiberMark has a qualified defined benefit plan covering certain U.S. employees. During 2009, FiberMark fully froze this plan so that additional benefits cannot be earned as a result of additional years of service or increases in annual earnings. Plan assets are principally invested in equity, government and corporate debt securities and fixed income mutual funds. FiberMark has a defined benefit plan covering all U.K. employees, which is designed to provide a monthly pension upon retirement. This plan was fully frozen during 2011 and plan assets are primarily invested in equity mutual funds. Multi-Employer plan The hourly employees of the Lowville, New York facility are covered by a multi-employer defined benefit plan. The Company's expense under this plan was less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The Company contributes to the multi-employer pension plan under a collective bargaining agreement which provides retirement benefits for certain union employees. The risks of participating in a multi-employer plan are different from single employer plans as assets contributed are available to provide benefits to employees of other employers and unfunded obligations from an employer that discontinues contributions are the responsibility of all remaining employers. In addition, in the event of a plan's termination or the Company's withdrawal from the plan, the Company may be liable for a portion of the plan's unfunded vested benefits. The Company does not anticipate withdrawing from the plan, nor is it aware of any expected plan terminations. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available is for the plan's year-end at December 31, 2015 . The zone status in the following table is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. Information for the multi-employer pension plan in which the Company participates is shown in the table below. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates a financial improvement plan ("FIP") or a rehabilitation plan ("RP") is either pending or has been implemented for the plan. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , FiberMark's contributions to the plan were less than 5% of total plan contributions. Pension Fund EIN/Pension Plan Number Pension Zone Status 2015 FIP/RP Status Pending or Implemented Contributions 2016 Surcharge Imposed ExpirationDate of Collective Bargaining Agreement PACE Industry Union Management Pension Fund 11-6166763 Red Implemented $ 0.1 million Yes 11/9/2021 Other Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company maintains postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans for active employees of the Company and former employees of the Canadian pulp operations. The plans are generally noncontributory for employees who were eligible to retire on or before December 31, 1992 and contributory for most employees who became eligible to retire on or after January 1, 1993. The Company does not provide a subsidized benefit to most employees hired after 2003. The Company's obligations for postretirement benefits other than pensions are measured annually as of December 31. At December 31, 2016 , the assumed inflationary health care cost trend rates used to determine obligations at December 31, 2016 and costs for the year ended December 31, 2017 is 7.0 percent gradually decreasing to an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent in 2037. The assumed inflationary health care cost trend rates used to determine obligations at December 31, 2015 and costs for the year ended December 31, 2016 were 7.3 percent gradually decreasing to an ultimate rate of 4.5 percent in 2037. The following table reconciles the benefit obligations, plan assets, funded status and net liability information of the Company's pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Also considered were the plans' historical 10 -year and 15 -year compounded annual returns. It is anticipated that, on average, actively managed U.S. pension plan assets will generate annual long-term rates of return of at least 6.20 percent . The expected long-term rate of return on the assets in the plans was based on an asset allocation assumption of approximately 43 percent with equity managers, with expected long-term rates of return of approximately 8 to 10 percent , and 57 percent with fixed income managers, with an expected long-term rate of return of about 4 to 6 percent . The actual asset allocation is regularly reviewed and periodically rebalanced to the targeted allocation when considered appropriate. Plan Assets Pension plan asset allocations are as follows: Percentage of Plan 2016 2015 2014 Asset Category Equity securities 43 % 34 % 35 % Debt securities 57 % 64 % 65 % Cash and money-market funds — % 2 % — % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % The Company's investment objective for pension plan assets are to ensure, over the long-term life of the pension plans, an adequate pool of assets to support the benefit obligations to participants, retirees, and beneficiaries. Specifically, these objectives include the desire to: (a) invest assets in a manner such that future assets are available to fund liabilities, (b) maintain liquidity sufficient to pay current benefits when due and (c) diversify, over time, among asset classes so assets earn a reasonable return with acceptable risk to capital. The target investment allocation and permissible allocation range for plan assets by category are as follows: Strategic Target Permitted Range Asset Category Equity securities 43 % 38-48% Debt securities / Fixed Income 57 % 52-62% As of December 31, 2016 , no company or group of companies in a single industry represented more than five percent of plan assets. The Company's investment assumptions are established by an investment committee composed of members of senior management and are validated periodically against actual investment returns. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company's investment assumptions are as follows: (a) The plan should be substantially fully invested in debt and equity securities at all times because substantial cash holdings will reduce long-term rates of return; (b) Equity investments will provide greater long-term returns than fixed income investments, although with greater short-term volatility; (c) It is prudent to diversify plan investments across major asset classes; (d) Allocating a portion of plan assets to foreign equities will increase portfolio diversification, decrease portfolio risk and provide the potential for long-term returns; (e) Investment managers with active mandates can reduce portfolio risk below market risk and potentially add value through security selection strategies, and a portion of plan assets should be allocated to such active mandates; (f) A component of passive, indexed management can benefit the plans through greater diversification and lower cost, and a portion of the plan assets should be allocated to such passive mandates, and (g) It is appropriate to retain more than one investment manager, given the size of the plans, provided that such managers offer asset class or style diversification. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , no plan assets were invested in the Company's securities. Cash Flows At December 31, 2016 , the Company expects to make aggregate contributions to qualified pension trusts and payments of pension benefits for unfunded pension plans in 2017 of approximately $14.0 million (based on exchange rates at December 31, 2016 ). Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid: Pension Plans Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions 2017 $ 20.7 $ 4.3 2018 19.3 3.5 2019 22.1 3.8 2020 20.0 4.1 2021 21.4 4.1 Years 2022-2026 113.2 16.9 Health Care Cost Trends Assumed health care cost trend rates affect the amounts reported for postretirement health care benefit plans. A one percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects: One Percentage- Point Increase Decrease Effect on total of service and interest cost components $ — $ — Effect on post-retirement benefit other than pension obligation 0.3 (0.3 ) Defined Contribution Retirement Plans Company contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are primarily based on the age and compensation of covered employees. Contributions to these plans, all of which were charged to expense, were $2.7 million in 2016 , $2.5 million in 2015 and $1.9 million in 2014 . In addition, the Company maintains a supplemental retirement contribution plan (the "SRCP") which is a non-qualified, unfunded defined contribution plan. The Company provides benefits under the SRCP to the extent necessary to fulfill the intent of its defined contribution retirement plans without regard to the limitations set by the Internal Revenue Code on qualified defined contribution plans. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recognized expense related to the SRCP of $0.4 million , $0.2 million and $0.1 million , respectively. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the unfunded obligation of the SRCP was $1.3 million and $0.9 million , respectively. Investment Plans The Company provides voluntary contribution investment plans to substantially all North American employees. Under the plans, the Company matches a portion of employee contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , costs charged to expense for Company matching contributions under these plans were $3.1 million , $2.7 million and $1.9 million , respectively.

Excess Tax Benefits Excess tax benefits represent the difference between the tax deduction the Company will receive on its tax return for compensation recognized by employees upon the vesting or exercise of stock-based awards and the tax benefit recognized for the grant date fair value of such awards. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recognized excess tax benefits related to the exercise or vesting of stock-based awards of $3.1 million , $2.6 million and $5.6 million , respectively. In 2016, the Company adopted ASC Topic No. 2016-09. See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Recently Adopted Accounting Standards."" id="sjs-B4">Stock Compensation Plans The Company established the 2004 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2004 Omnibus Plan") in December 2004 and reserved 3,500,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock") for issuance under the Omnibus Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the 2004 Omnibus Plan, the compensation committee of the Company's Board of Directors may grant various types of equity-based compensation awards, including incentive and nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, RSUs with performance conditions and performance units, in addition to certain cash-based awards. All grants under the Omnibus Plan will be made at fair market value and no grant may be repriced. In general, the options expire 10 years from the date of grant and vest over a 3 -year service period. At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment and restatement of the 2004 Omnibus Plan (as amended and restated the "2013 Omnibus Plan"). The amendment and restatement authorized the Company to reserve an additional 1,577,000 shares of Common Stock for future issuance. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company had 950,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the 2013 Omnibus Plan. As of December 31, 2016 , the number of shares available for future issuance was reduced by approximately 17,000 shares for outstanding SARs where the closing market price for the Company's common stock was greater than the exercise price of the SAR. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation pursuant to the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC Topic 718"). Valuation and Expense Information Under ASC Topic 718 Substantially all stock-based compensation expense has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. The following table summarizes stock-based compensation costs and related income tax benefits. Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Stock-based compensation expense $ 5.8 $ 6.5 $ 6.0 Income tax benefit (2.2 ) (2.5 ) (2.3 ) Stock-based compensation, net of income tax benefit $ 3.6 $ 4.0 $ 3.7 The following table summarizes total compensation costs related to the Company's equity awards and amounts recognized in the year ended December 31, 2016 . Stock Options Performance Unrecognized compensation cost — December 31, 2015 $ 0.8 $ 1.6 Grant date fair value current year grants 1.5 4.2 Compensation expense recognized (1.7 ) (4.1 ) Unrecognized compensation cost — December 31, 2016 $ 0.6 $ 1.7 Expected amortization period (in years) 1.7 1.5 Stock Options/SARs In August 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the conversion of approximately 545,000 outstanding non-qualified stock options held by U.S. employees and U.S. non-employee directors to an equal number of SARs. Upon exercise, the holder of an SAR will receive common shares equal to the number of SARs exercised multiplied by a fraction where the numerator is equal to the market price at the time of exercise minus the exercise price of the SAR and the denominator is equal to the market price at the time of exercise. The SARs can only be settled for shares of Common Stock and the Company will not receive any cash proceeds upon exercise. All other contractual terms of the SARs are unchanged from those of the converted non-qualified stock options. At the date of conversion the fair value of the SARs was equal to the fair value of the stock options exchanged. As a result, the Company did not recognize any additional compensation expense due to the conversion. The following tables present information regarding stock options awarded during the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 . 2016 2015 2014 Nonqualified stock options granted 113,935 87,930 95,670 Per share weighted-average exercise price $ 58.03 $ 59.72 $ 43.17 Per share weighted-average grant date fair value $ 13.51 $ 16.47 $ 12.72 The weighted-average grant date fair value for stock options granted for the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions: 2016 2015 2014 Expected term in years 5.8 5.8 5.9 Risk free interest rate 1.8 % 1.4 % 1.9 % Volatility 32.1 % 34.4 % 36.5 % Dividend yield 3.0 % 2.0 % 2.2 % Expected volatility and the expected term were estimated by reference to the historical stock price performance of the Company and historical data for the Company's stock option awards, respectively. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield on U.S. Treasury bonds with a remaining term approximately equal to the expected term of the stock option awards. Forfeitures were estimated at the date of grant. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company awarded nonqualified stock options to its President and Chief Executive Officer to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to forfeiture due to termination of employment and other conditions). The exercise price of such nonqualified stock option awards was $24.09 per share and the options expire in ten years . As of December 31, 2016 , 100 percent of the option award had been earned. The grant date fair value of such stock options was $9.55 per share and was estimated using a "Monte Carlo" simulation valuation model.

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Stockholders' Equity	Stockholders' Equity Common Stock The Company has authorized 100 million shares of Common Stock. Holders of the Company's Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. In May 2016, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a program that would allow the Company to repurchase up to $25 million of its outstanding Common Stock over the next 12 months (the "2016 Stock Purchase Plan"). Purchases by the Company under the 2016 Stock Purchase Plan would be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with the requirements of applicable law. The timing and amount of any purchases will depend on share price, market conditions and other factors. The 2016 Stock Purchase Plan does not require the Company to purchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The 2016 Stock Purchase Plan is expected to be funded using cash on hand or borrowings under the Company's bank credit facility. The Company had a substantially identical $25 million repurchase program in place during the preceding 12 months that expired in May 2016 (the "2015 Stock Purchase Plan"). The Company had a $10 million share repurchase program in place during the preceding 12 months that expired in May 2014 (the "2013 Stock Purchase Plan"). The following table shows shares purchased under the respective stock purchase plans: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Shares $ Shares $ Shares $ 2016 Stock Purchase Plan 91,542 $ 7.4 2015 Stock Purchase Plan 93,600 $ 5.2 42,100 $ 2.4 — $ — 2014 Stock Purchase Plan 60,900 $ 3.5 22,600 $ 1.2 2013 Stock Purchase Plan As of December 31, 2016 , under the terms of the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the 2021 Senior Notes, the Company has limitations on its ability to repurchase shares of its Common Stock, as further discussed in Note 7, "Debt." For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company acquired 46,000 shares, 40,000 shares and 56,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at a cost of $3.8 million , $2.5 million and $3.4 million , respectively, for shares surrendered by employees to pay taxes due on vested restricted stock awards and SARs exercised. Each share of Common Stock contains a preferred stock purchase right that is associated with the share. These preferred stock purchase rights are transferred only with shares of Common Stock. The preferred stock purchase rights become exercisable and separately certificated only upon a "Rights Distribution Date" as that term is defined in the stockholder rights agreement adopted by the Company at the time of the Spin-Off. In general, a Rights Distribution Date occurs 10 business days following either of these events: (i) a person or group has acquired or obtained the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock then outstanding or (ii) a tender offer or exchange offer is commenced that would result in a person or group acquiring 15 percent or more of the outstanding shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Preferred Stock The Company has authorized 20 million shares of $0.01 par value preferred stock. The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series and with such designations and preferences for each series as shall be stated in the resolutions providing for the designation and issue of each such series adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors is authorized by the Company's articles of incorporation to determine the voting, dividend, redemption and liquidation preferences pertaining to each such series. No shares of preferred stock have been issued by the Company. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) includes, in addition to net income (loss), gains and losses recorded directly into stockholders' equity on the consolidated balance sheet. These gains and losses are referred to as other comprehensive income items. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation gains and (losses), deferred gains and (losses) on "available-for-sale" securities, and adjustments related to pensions and other post-retirement benefits. The Company does not provide income taxes for foreign currency translation adjustments related to indefinite investments in foreign subsidiaries. The components of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of applicable income taxes are as follows: December 31, 2016 2015 Unrealized foreign currency translation losses, net of income tax benefit of $0.4 and $0.0, respectively $ (27.5 ) $ (20.8 ) Net loss from pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities (net of income tax benefits of $36.8 million and $33.8 million, respectively) (64.5 ) (57.5 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (92.0 ) $ (78.3 ) The following table presents changes in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"): Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Pretax Tax Net Pretax Tax Net Pretax Tax Net Unrealized foreign currency translation gains (losses) $ (7.1 ) $ 0.4 $ (6.7 ) $ (15.0 ) $ — $ (15.0 ) $ (23.7 ) $ — $ (23.7 ) Adjustment to pension and other benefit liabilities (10.0 ) 3.0 (7.0 ) 6.3 (1.2 ) 5.1 (26.1 ) 8.7 (17.4 ) Other comprehensive income (loss) $ (17.1 ) $ 3.4 $ (13.7 ) $ (8.7 ) $ (1.2 ) $ (9.9 ) $ (49.8 ) $ 8.7 $ (41.1 ) For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company reclassified $7.2 million , $7.1 million and $4.7 million , respectively, of costs from accumulated other comprehensive income to cost of products sold and selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , the Company recognized an income tax benefit of $2.8 million , $2.7 million and $1.7 million , respectively, related to such reclassifications classified as Provision for income taxes on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , the Company reclassified $0.8 million of costs from accumulated other comprehensive income to pension plan settlement charge on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2015 , the Company reclassified $5.5 million of costs from accumulated other comprehensive income to loss from discontinued operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2014 , the Company reclassified $3.5 million of costs from accumulated other comprehensive income to pension plan settlement charge on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Contingencies and Legal Matters

Contingencies and Legal Matters	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies and Legal Matters	Contingencies and Legal Matters Litigation The Company is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these legal actions and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the outcome of any such claim which is pending or threatened, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. Income Taxes The Company periodically undergoes examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") as well as various state and foreign jurisdictions. These tax authorities routinely challenge certain deductions and credits reported by the Company on its income tax returns. No significant tax audit findings are being contested at this time with either the IRS or any state or foreign tax authority. Environmental, Health and Safety Matters The Company is subject to federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances relating to various environmental, health and safety matters. The Company is in compliance with, or is taking actions designed to ensure compliance with, these laws, regulations and ordinances. However, the nature of the Company's business exposes it to the risk of claims with respect to environmental, health and safety matters, and there can be no assurance that material costs or liabilities will not be incurred in connection with such claims. Except for certain orders issued by environmental, health and safety regulatory agencies, with which management believes the Company is in compliance and which management believes are immaterial to the results of operations of the Company's business, Neenah is not currently named as a party in any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to environmental, health and safety matters. While the Company has incurred in the past several years, and will continue to incur, capital and operating expenditures in order to comply with environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances, management believes that the Company's future cost of compliance with environmental, health and safety laws, regulations and ordinances, and its exposure to liability for environmental, health and safety claims will not have a material effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. However, future events, such as changes in existing laws and regulations or contamination of sites owned, operated or used for waste disposal by the Company (including currently unknown contamination and contamination caused by prior owners and operators of such sites or other waste generators) may give rise to additional costs which could have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The Company incurs capital expenditures necessary to meet legal requirements and otherwise relating to the protection of the environment at its facilities in the United States and internationally. The Company's anticipated capital expenditures for environmental projects are not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Discontinued Operations	Discontinued Operations Discontinued Operations On October 31, 2015, the Company sold the Lahnstein Mill to a privately-owned enterprise specializing in equity holdings in German medium-sized companies, for net cash proceeds of approximately $5.4 million . The buyer acquired all the assets and liabilities of the Lahnstein Mill, including pension and related liabilities of approximately $21 million . The Lahnstein Mill, which had annual sales of approximately €50 million , had been operating as a stand-alone business, manufacturing non-woven wallcoverings and various other specialty papers. The sale focuses the Company's portfolio on targeted growth markets such as filtration, premium fine papers and packaging and other performance materials. Upon reaching an agreement for the sale of the Lahnstein Mill, the Company compared the carrying value of the Lahnstein Mill assets to the fair value of such assets reflected in the sales agreement. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $12.0 million to reduce the carrying value of the Lahnstein Mill assets to fair value. In addition, the Company recognized approximately $1.7 million of transaction costs related to the sale in 2015. For the year ended December 31, 2016 , discontinued operations reported on the consolidated statements of operations includes an additional loss on sale arising from final adjustments to the transaction price. The following table presents selected financial information for discontinued operations: Year Ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Net sales $ — $ 43.2 $ 63.0 Cost of products sold — 39.7 56.6 Gross Profit — 3.5 6.4 Selling, general and administrative expenses — 3.5 5.2 Restructuring costs — 0.1 0.6 Other income — net — (0.3 ) (0.3 ) Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations Before Income Taxes — 0.2 0.9 Loss on sale (a) (0.6 ) (13.6 ) — Income (loss) before income taxes (0.6 ) (13.4 ) 0.9 Income tax provision (benefit) (a) (0.2 ) (4.0 ) 0.2 Income (loss) from discontinued operations $ (0.4 ) $ (9.4 ) $ 0.7 _______________________ (a) For 2015, this amount includes a net curtailment gain related to the divesture of the pension plan of $15.8 million , including a $5.5 million write-off of deferred actuarial losses.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment and Geographic Information	Business Segment and Geographic Information On July 1, 2015, the Company reorganized its internal management structure and, accordingly, addressed its segment reporting structure. As a result of this reorganization, the Other operating segment (composed of the non-premium Index, Tag and Vellum Bristol product lines acquired as part of the purchase of the Wausau brands) was combined with the Fine Paper and Packaging operating segment to reflect the manner in which this business is managed. Segment information for prior periods has been restated to conform to the current period presentation. In addition, as part of the FiberMark acquisition, the Company acquired certain product lines composed of papers sold to converters for end uses such as covering materials for datebooks, diaries, yearbooks and traditional photo albums. Due to the dissimilar nature of these products, management decided that they would not be managed as part of either the existing Fine Paper and Packaging or Technical Products businesses. These product lines represent an operating segment which does not meet the quantitative threshold for a reportable segment. The Company's reportable operating segments now consist of Technical Products, Fine Paper and Packaging and Other. The Technical Products segment is an aggregation of the Company's filtration and performance materials businesses which are similar in terms of economic characteristics, nature of products, processes, customer class and product distribution methods. The technical products business is an international producer of fiber-formed, coated and/or saturated specialized media that delivers high performance benefits to customers. Included in this segment are filtration media ("Filtration"), tape and abrasives backings products ("Backings"), and durable label and specialty substrate products ("Specialty"). The following table presents sales by product category for the technical products business: For the Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Filtration 42 % 45 % 42 % Backings 31 % 30 % 29 % Specialty 27 % 25 % 29 % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % The fine paper and packaging business is a leading supplier of premium printing and other high end specialty papers ("Graphic Imaging"), premium packaging ("Packaging") and specialty office papers ("Filing/Office") primarily in North America. The following table presents sales by product category for the fine paper and packaging business: For the Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 Graphic Imaging 81 % 80 % 91 % Packaging 14 % 15 % 9 % Filing/Office 5 % 5 % — % Total 100 % 100 % 100 % Each segment employs different technologies and marketing strategies. Disclosure of segment information is on the same basis that management uses internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources. Transactions between segments are eliminated in consolidation. The costs of shared services, and other administrative functions managed on a common basis, are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or other factors based on the nature of the activity. General corporate expenses that do not directly support the operations of the business segments are shown as Unallocated corporate costs. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."

For the year ended December 31, 2016, sales to Veritiv represented approximately 8 percent of consolidated net sales and approximately 15 percent of net sales of the fine paper and packaging business. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 sales to Unisource and xpedx (and as merged Veritiv) represented approximately 10 percent of consolidated net sales and approximately 20 percent of net sales of the fine paper and packaging business. Except for certain specialty latex grades and specialty softwood pulp used by Technical Products, management is not aware of any significant concentration of business transacted with a particular supplier that could, if suddenly eliminated, have a material effect on its operations.

Summary of Significant Accoun25

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and changes in these estimates are recorded when known. Significant management judgment is required in determining the accounting for, among other things, pension and postretirement benefits, retained insurable risks, reserves for sales discounts and allowances, purchase price allocations, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, future cash flows associated with impairment testing for tangible and intangible long-lived assets, goodwill, income taxes, contingencies, inventory obsolescence and market reserves and the valuation of stock-based compensation.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes sales revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) delivery has occurred, (2) persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, (3) pricing is fixed or determinable, and (4) collection is reasonably assured. Delivery is not considered to have occurred until the customer takes title and assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. The timing of revenue recognition is largely dependent on shipping terms. Sales are reported net of allowable discounts and estimated returns. Reserves for cash discounts, trade allowances and sales returns are estimated using historical experience.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The Company places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 , $0.3 million of the Company's cash and cash equivalents is restricted to the payment of postretirement benefits for certain former Fox River executives.
Inventories	Inventories U.S. inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method for financial reporting purposes, or market. German inventories are valued at the lower of cost, using a weighted-average cost method, or market. Cost includes labor, materials and production overhead.
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency Balance sheet accounts of the Company's operations in Germany, the United Kingdom (the "U.K.") and Canada are translated from Euros, British Pounds and Canadian dollars, respectively, into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts are translated at average exchange rates during the period. Translation gains or losses related to net assets located in Germany, the U.K. and Canada are recorded as unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments within Accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders' equity. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entity's functional currency) are included in Other expense — net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Property and Depreciation	Property and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Certain costs of software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment is sold or retired, the costs and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the gains or losses are recorded in other (income) expense — net. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is principally computed on the straight-line method over estimated useful asset lives. The weighted average remaining useful lives for buildings, land improvements and machinery and equipment are approximately 18 years , 13 years and 10 years , respectively. Units-of-production method of depreciation is used for $68.6 million of production assets, which reflects the nature of the assets' utilization. For income tax purposes, accelerated methods of depreciation are used. The costs of major rebuilds and replacements of plant and equipment are capitalized, and the cost of maintenance performed on manufacturing facilities, composed of labor, materials and other incremental costs, is expensed as incurred. Start-up costs for new or expanded facilities, including costs related to trial production, are expensed as incurred. The Company accounts for asset retirement obligations ("AROs") in accordance with ASC Topic 410, Asset Retirements and Environmental Obligations , which requires companies to make estimates regarding future events in order to record a liability for AROs in the period in which a legal obligation is created. Such liabilities are recorded at fair value, with an offsetting increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset. As of December 31, 2016 , the Company is unable to estimate its AROs for environmental liabilities at its manufacturing facilities.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with the fair value recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation ("ASC Topic 718"). The amount of stock-based compensation cost recognized is based on the fair value of grants that are ultimately expected to vest and is recognized pro-rata over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Research and Development Expense	Research and Development Expense Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred and are recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" on the consolidated statement of operations. See Note 15, "Supplemental Data — Supplemental Statement of Operations Data."
Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets	Fair Value of Pension Plan Assets With the exception of cash and cash equivalents which are considered Level 1, pension plan assets are measured at NAV (or its equivalent) as an alternative to fair market value due to the absence of readily available market prices, and as such are not subject to the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of pension plan assets in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC Topic 820") which establishes a framework for measuring fair value. ASC Topic 820 provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The fair value of short and long-term debt is estimated using rates currently available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The following table presents the carrying value and the fair value of the Company's debt. December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair 2021 Senior Notes (5.25% fixed rate) $ 175.0 $ 169.5 $ 175.0 $ 169.9 Global Revolving Credit Facilities (variable rates) 42.9 42.9 51.1 51.1 Second German Loan Agreement (2.5% fixed rate) 6.8 6.8 8.3 8.3 Total debt $ 224.7 $ 219.2 $ 234.4 $ 229.3 _______________________ (a) Fair value for all debt instruments was estimated from Level 2 measurements. The Company's investments in marketable securities are accounted for as "available-for-sale securities" in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments — Debt and Equity Securities ("ASC Topic 320"). Pursuant to ASC Topic 320, marketable securities are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet and unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income until realized upon sale. At December 31, 2016 , the Company had $3.5 million in marketable securities classified as Other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The cost of such marketable securities was $3.4 million . Fair value for the Company's marketable securities was estimated from Level 1 inputs. The Company's marketable securities are designated for the payment of benefits under its supplemental employee retirement plan (the "SERP").
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 modifies the accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies associated with share-based payments and amends the associated cash flow presentation. ASU 2016-09 (i) eliminates the requirement to recognize excess tax benefits in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”), (ii) eliminates the requirement to evaluate tax deficiencies for APIC or income tax expense classification and (iii) provides for these benefits or deficiencies to be recorded as an income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. Additionally, the tax benefits related to dividends paid on share-based payment awards will be reflected as an income tax benefit in the income statement. With these changes, tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments will be classified as operating activities as opposed to financing activities. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt the standard in the three month period ended September 30, 2016, effective as if adopted on the first day of the fiscal year, January 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, there were no unrecognized deferred tax assets attributable to excess tax benefits. The adoption of the new standard decreased the provision for income taxes and increased income from continuing operations by $0.4 million and $1.8 million in the third quarter and the fourth quarter of 2016, respectively. In addition, the Company recast its previously reported provision for income taxes and increased income from continuing operations by $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the first and second quarter of 2016, respectively. Further, as part of the adoption, the Company elected to account for forfeitures in compensation cost as they occur. The cumulative impact for the change in election was not material. The Company elected to adopt prospectively the classification of tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments in operating cash flows.
Earnings per Share ("EPS")	Earnings per Share ("EPS") The Company's restricted stock units ("RSUs") are paid non-forfeitable common stock dividends and thus meet the criteria of participating securities. Accordingly, basic EPS has been calculated using the two-class method, under which earnings are allocated to both common stock and participating securities. Basic EPS has been computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average common shares outstanding. For the computation of basic EPS, weighted average RSUs outstanding are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 260, Earnings per Share ("ASC Topic 260") requires companies with participating securities to calculate diluted earnings per share using the "Two Class" method. The "Two Class" method requires first calculating diluted earnings per share using a denominator that includes the weighted average share equivalents from the assumed conversion of dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share is then calculated using net income reduced by the amount of distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities calculated using the "Treasury Stock" method and a denominator that includes the weighted average share equivalents from the assumed conversion of dilutive securities excluding participating securities. Companies are required to report the lower of the diluted earnings per share amounts under the two calculations subject to the anti-dilution provisions of ASC Topic 260. Diluted EPS has been computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic EPS, further adjusted to include the dilutive impact of the exercise or conversion of common stock equivalents, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and target awards of Restricted Stock Units with performance conditions ("Performance Units"), into shares of common stock as if those securities were exercised or converted. For the years ended December 31, 2016 , 2015 and 2014 , approximately 35,000 , 45,000 and 15,000 potentially dilutive options, respectively, were excluded from the computation of dilutive common shares because the exercise price of such options exceeded the average market price of the Company's common stock for the respective 12 -month periods during which the options were outstanding.
Business Combinations Policy	The Company accounted for the transaction using the acquisition method in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"). The allocation of the purchase price was based on estimates of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of August 1, 2015. The Company has not identified any material unrecorded pre-acquisition contingencies. The Company did not recognize any in-process research and development assets as part of the acquisition.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets The Company follows the guidance of ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations ("ASC Topic 805"), in recording goodwill arising from a business combination as the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at least annually on November 30 in conjunction with preparation of its annual business plan, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate it might be impaired.
Accounting Standard Changes	Accounting Standards Changes In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance specifies how and when an entity will recognize revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires entities to disclose information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The FASB has subsequently issued additional, clarifying standards to address issues arising from implementation of the new revenue recognition standard. The new revenue recognition standard and clarifying standards are effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2018, and may be adopted earlier, but not before January 1, 2017. The Company has substantially completed its assessment of the new standards and does not believe there will be a material impact from adoption on its consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate any additional changes, modifications or interpretations of the standard which may impact its current conclusions, and believes it will adopt the new standards using the modified retrospective method as of January 1, 2018. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current lease accounting. The guidance also eliminates current real estate-specific provisions for all entities. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2016 , no other amendments to the ASC had been issued and not adopted by the Company that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on the its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
