Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 1—Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Orchids Paper Products Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Orchids” or the “Company”) produce bulk tissue paper, known as parent rolls, and convert parent rolls into finished products, including paper towels, bathroom tissue and paper napkins. The Company predominately sells its products for use in the "at home" market under private labels to a customer base consisting primarily of dollar stores, discount retailers and grocery stores that offer limited alternatives across a wide range of products, and, to a lesser extent, the “away from home” market. The Company has owned and operated its manufacturing facility in Pryor, Oklahoma since 1998. On June 3, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets from Fabrica de Papel San Francisco, S.A. de C.V. (“Fabrica”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (see Note 2). In connection with the acquisition of these assets, the Company formed three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Orchids Mexico DE Holdings, LLC, Orchids Mexico DE Member, LLC, and OPP Acquisition Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Orchids Mexico”). In April 2015, the Company announced the construction of a new manufacturing facility in Barnwell, South Carolina. In conjunction with this project, the Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary: Orchids Paper Products Company of South Carolina. Furthermore, in connection with a New Market Tax Credit (“NMTC”) transaction in December 2015 (see Note 12), the Company created Orchids Lessor SC, LLC, another wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company's stock trades on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol "TIS." Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orchids Paper Products Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as described above, and variable interest entities for which Orchids is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks that management expects to utilize for operational activities. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if it is outstanding for more than five days past terms. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Receivables are written-off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded when received. The Company does not typically charge interest on trade receivables. Inventories consist of converted finished goods, bulk paper rolls and raw materials stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market). The Company's cost is based on standard cost, specific identification, or FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. Standard costs approximate actual costs on a FIFO basis. Material, labor, and factory overhead necessary to produce the inventories are included in the standard cost to the extent such input costs do not result in values in excess of net realizable value. Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company expenses normal maintenance and repair costs as incurred. Spare parts that are maintained to keep the Company’s machinery and equipment in working order are capitalized and expensed when used rather than depreciated. Gain and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the period incurred. The Company capitalizes interest for major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is depreciated over the useful lives of those assets. The Company records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as well as when an event, or change in circumstances, indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform the first step of a two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it is required to perform the second step of the two-step impairment test, in which an impairment loss is calculated and recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2016 by performing the first step (e.g. “step zero”), a qualitative impairment test, to determine whether it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired. Goodwill is tested at a level of reporting referred to as the “reporting unit”. The Company has two reporting units, which are defined as the “at home” business and the “away from home” business. Based on this qualitative test, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units were greater than their carrying amounts; as such, we determined that performing the second and third steps of the impairment test were not necessary and that goodwill was not impaired. 2 20 Income taxes are computed in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the taxing authorities where the income is earned. Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method and are provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. The Company uses the flow through method to account for Oklahoma and South Carolina investment tax credits earned on eligible capital expenditures in the respective states. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense when earned. Costs incurred in obtaining debt funding are deferred and amortized on an effective interest method over the terms of the loans. Amortization expense for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $ 294,000 198,000 60,000 Grant-date cost of stock options and restricted stock are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the respective options and shares, based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. The fair value of stock options that have time-based vesting requirements is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options that have market-based vesting requirements is estimated using a Monte-Carlo option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the high and low market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation that are available to absorb future tax deficiencies related to share-based compensation are recorded in additional paid-in capital ("APIC pool") when realized. If the amount of tax deficiencies is greater than the available APIC pool, the excess is recorded as current income tax expense in the statement of income. Revenues for products loaded on customer trailers are recognized when the customer has accepted custody and left the Company's dock. Revenues for products shipped to customers are recognized when title passes upon shipment. Customer discounts and pricing allowances are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship raw materials to the Company's facilities are included in inventory and cost of sales in the statement of income. Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship finished goods to customer locations and warehouse locations are included in cost of sales in the statement of income. In 2016, the Company received $ 1.1 Advertising costs, which include costs related to artwork and packaging development, totaled approximately $ 438,000 319,000 292,000 The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Certain immaterial prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported amounts of net income. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes 1.3 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40); Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs 1.3 In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 , Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU No 2016-18 is effective, on a retrospective basis, for public companies for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently assessing the impact ASU 2016-18 will have on the Company, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s cash flows.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]	Note 3—Fair Value Measurements The valuation hierarchy included in U.S. GAAP considers the transparency of inputs used to value assets and liabilities as of the measurement date. The less transparent or observable the inputs used to value assets and liabilities, the lower the classification of the assets and liabilities in the valuation hierarchy. A financial instrument's classification within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to its fair value measurement. The three levels of the valuation hierarchy and the classification of the Company's financial assets and liabilities within the hierarchy are as follows: Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If an asset or liability has a specified term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3—Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company does not report any assets or liabilities at fair value in the financial statements. However, the fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated by management to approximate the carrying value of $ 142.0 75.6 As the Company has no assets or liabilities reported at fair value in the financial statements, there were no transfers among Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 7—Long-Term Debt and Revolving Line of Credit In June 2015, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). Additionally, on January 19, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 (“the Amendment”) which increases the total loan commitment, modifies the pricing grid applicable to interest rates and the unused commitment fee, amends the financial covenant related to the maintenance of a maximum total leverage ratio by increasing the permitted total leverage ratio for fiscal quarters ending on or prior to March 31, 2018, and amends the terms of the draw loan to provide for additional advance amounts available to the Company for the purposes of acquiring or improving real estate. The terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, consist of the following: · a $25.0 million revolving credit line due June 2020; · a $47.3 million Term Loan with a 5-year term due June 2020 and payable in quarterly installments of $675,000 through June 2016 and $1.0 million per quarter thereafter; · a $115.0 million delayed draw term loan with a 2-year draw period due June 2020 and payable in quarterly installments beginning in September 2017 of 1.5% of the June 30, 2017 outstanding balance. In December 2015, in connection with the NMTC transaction (see Note 12), the maximum borrowing capacity under the delayed draw term loan was reduced from $115.0 million to $99.6 million and in January 2017, under the terms of the Amendment, the maximum borrowing capacity was increased to $108.5 million; and · an accordion feature allowing the revolving credit line and/or delayed draw commitment under the Credit Agreement to be increased by up to $50.0 million at any time on or before the expiration date of the Credit Agreement. Proceeds from the delayed draw term loan must be utilized solely to finance the purchase and installation of new equipment and construction at the Company’s Barnwell, South Carolina facility. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, as amended, amounts outstanding will bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus a specified margin, or the base rate plus a specified margin, at the Company’s option. The specified margin is based on the Company’s quarterly Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended. The following table outlines the specified margins and the commitment fees payable under the Credit Agreement: LIBOR Base Commitment Leverage Ratio Margin Margin Fee Less than 1.00 1.25 % 0.00 % 0.15 % Greater than or equal to 1.00 but less than 2.00 1.50 % 0.00 % 0.20 % Greater than or equal to 2.00 but less than 3.00 1.75 % 0.00 % 0.25 % Greater than or equal to 3.00 but less than 3.50 2.25 % 0.00 % 0.30 % Greater than or equal to 3.50 but less than 4.00 2.50 % 0.25 % 0.35 % Greater than or equal to 4.00 but less than 4.50 3.00 % 0.75 % 0.40 % Greater than or equal to 4.50 but less than 5.00 3.50 % 1.25 % 0.45 % Greater than or equal to 5.00 4.00 % 1.75 % 0.50 % Additionally, in connection with the NMTC transaction discussed in Note 12, the Company entered into an $11.1 million term loan with U.S. Bank.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to OITC associated with investments in the Company’s manufacturing operations in Pryor, Oklahoma, manufacturing tax deductions and IEC. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a change in estimates recognized in 2014, as the Company believes certain deferred tax liabilities will be recognized at amounts and rates other than previously estimated. The effective tax rate for 2014 was also lowered by manufacturing tax deductions and OITC associated with investments in the Company’s manufacturing operations in Pryor, Oklahoma. Additionally, in 2014, Orchids began recording current and deferred income taxes in the state of California and the country of Mexico due to impacts of the Fabrica Transaction (see Note 2). Taxes related to California increased the Company’s effective tax rate by approximately 3.1 30 The Company has significant carryforwards for the State of Oklahoma which include an OITC of $ 3.7 36 20 26 8.3 15 6.5 The Company has significant carryforwards for the State of South Carolina, which include a SCITC of approximately $ 0.4 28 The U.S. tax code requires that certain types of income produced by non-U.S. subsidiaries be currently taxed without regard to actual distribution (Subpart F income). Income earned by Orchids Mexico meets the definition of Subpart F income. As a result, U.S. current and deferred federal income tax has been recorded on these earnings. Upon remittance of these earnings, no significant incremental U.S. tax is expected. Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, the Company believes that its positions would be sustained upon an audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. However, the 2014 Tax return has been selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company recognizes interest related to income taxes as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses. The tax years 2013 through 2016 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company files income tax returns.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	Note 9—Earnings per Share During the first quarter of 2013, the Company granted restricted stock to certain employees. These awards include a nonforfeitable right to receive dividends and therefore are considered to participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Therefore, the Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per common share using the two-class method, under which net earnings are allocated to each class of common stock and participating security. The computation of basic and diluted net income per common share for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, is as follows: Year ended December 31, 2016 2015 2014 (In thousands, except share and per share data) Net income $ 12,811 $ 13,557 $ 9,465 Less: distributed earnings allocable to participating securities - (3) (7) Less: undistributed earnings allocable to participating securities - - 1 Distributed and undistributed earnings allocable to common shareholders $ 12,811 $ 13,554 $ 9,459 Weighted average shares outstanding 10,286,373 9,778,167 8,462,875 Effect of stock options 62,901 66,054 75,877 Weighted average shares outstanding - assuming dilution 10,349,274 9,844,221 8,538,752 Net income per common share: Basic $ 1.25 $ 1.39 $ 1.12 Diluted $ 1.24 $ 1.38 $ 1.11 Stock options not considered above because they were anti-dilutive 614,250 598,000 555,000

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Note 10—Stock Incentives In April 2014, the Orchids Paper Products Company 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved. The 2014 Plan replaced the Orchids Paper Products Company 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”) and provides for the granting of stock options and other stock based awards to employees and Board members selected by the Board's compensation committee. The Company's policy is to issue shares of remaining authorized common stock to satisfy option exercises under the 2014 Plan. A total of 400,000 164,200 zero five 10 Stock options with time-based vesting conditions The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options issued with time-based vesting conditions, as this model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Estimated volatility is calculated based on actual historical volatility of the Company's common stock from the Company's initial public offering date to the grant date. The Company's dividend yield assumption is based on the expected dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected life is calculated based on the average of the service period and the contractual term of the option, using the simplified method for "plain vanilla" options, due to limited available exercise information. The Company expenses the cost of these options granted over the vesting period of the option based on the grant-date fair value of the award.

Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility, dividend yield and expected life of the option. Estimated volatility is calculated based on a mix of historical and implied volatility during the expected life of the options. Historical volatility is considered since the Company’s initial public offering and implied volatility is based on the publicly traded options of a three company peer group within the paper industry. The Company's dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s average historical dividend yield and current dividend yield as of the grant date. Expected life is calculated based on the average of the service period and the contractual term of the option, using the simplified method for "plain vanilla" options.

This conclusion was reached based on the following: · The ongoing activities of the VIEs—collecting and remitting interest and fees and NMTC compliance—were all considered in the initial design and are not expected to significantly affect performance throughout the life of the VIE; · Contractual arrangements obligate the Company to comply with NMTC rules and regulations and provide various other guarantees to the NMTC Investor and community development entities; · The NMTC Investor lacks a material interest in the underling economics of the project; and · The Company is obligated to absorb losses of the VIEs. Because the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, they have been included in the consolidated financial statements. There are no other assets, liabilities or transactions in these VIEs outside of the financing transactions executed as part of the NMTC transaction.

Summary of Significant Accounti

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2016
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orchids Paper Products Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, as described above, and variable interest entities for which Orchids is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Cash Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks that management expects to utilize for operational activities.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounts receivable Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. A trade receivable is considered to be past due if it is outstanding for more than five days past terms. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Receivables are written-off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written-off are recorded when received. The Company does not typically charge interest on trade receivables.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Inventories Inventories consist of converted finished goods, bulk paper rolls and raw materials stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value (market). The Company's cost is based on standard cost, specific identification, or FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. Standard costs approximate actual costs on a FIFO basis. Material, labor, and factory overhead necessary to produce the inventories are included in the standard cost to the extent such input costs do not result in values in excess of net realizable value.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company expenses normal maintenance and repair costs as incurred. Spare parts that are maintained to keep the Company’s machinery and equipment in working order are capitalized and expensed when used rather than depreciated. Gain and loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recognized in the period incurred. The Company capitalizes interest for major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is depreciated over the useful lives of those assets.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The Company records the excess of purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as goodwill. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as well as when an event, or change in circumstances, indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, the Company determines it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, there is no need to perform any further testing. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, it is required to perform the first step of a two-step impairment test by calculating the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing the fair value with the carrying amount of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, it is required to perform the second step of the two-step impairment test, in which an impairment loss is calculated and recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Alternatively, the Company may bypass the qualitative assessment in any period and proceed directly to performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test on October 1, 2016 by performing the first step (e.g. “step zero”), a qualitative impairment test, to determine whether it was more likely than not that goodwill was impaired. Goodwill is tested at a level of reporting referred to as the “reporting unit”. The Company has two reporting units, which are defined as the “at home” business and the “away from home” business. Based on this qualitative test, we determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Company’s reporting units were greater than their carrying amounts; as such, we determined that performing the second and third steps of the impairment test were not necessary and that goodwill was not impaired.
Intangible Assets, Finite-Lived, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Intangible assets consist of the Supply Agreement and Equipment Lease Agreements with Fabrica (see Note 2), licenses, trademarks, customer relationships and a non-compete agreement. The Company amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the assets, which range from 2 20
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	The Company reviews its long-lived assets, primarily property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Impairment evaluation is based on estimates of remaining useful lives and the current and expected future profitability and cash flows. The determination of future profitability and cash flows require significant estimates to be made by the Company’s management. The Company had no impairment of long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 or 2014.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Income taxes Income taxes are computed in accordance with the tax rules and regulations of the taxing authorities where the income is earned. Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method and are provided on all temporary differences between the financial basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. Future tax benefits are recognized to the extent that realization of those benefits is considered to be more likely than not. A valuation allowance is provided for deferred tax assets for which realization is not likely. The Company uses the flow through method to account for Oklahoma and South Carolina investment tax credits earned on eligible capital expenditures in the respective states. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense when earned.
Deferred Charges, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Deferred debt issuance costs Costs incurred in obtaining debt funding are deferred and amortized on an effective interest method over the terms of the loans. Amortization expense for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $ 294,000 198,000 60,000
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	Stock compensation expense Grant-date cost of stock options and restricted stock are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the respective options and shares, based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. The fair value of stock options that have time-based vesting requirements is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of stock options that have market-based vesting requirements is estimated using a Monte-Carlo option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the high and low market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. Excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation that are available to absorb future tax deficiencies related to share-based compensation are recorded in additional paid-in capital ("APIC pool") when realized. If the amount of tax deficiencies is greater than the available APIC pool, the excess is recorded as current income tax expense in the statement of income.
Revenue Recognition, Sales of Goods [Policy Text Block]	Revenue recognition Revenues for products loaded on customer trailers are recognized when the customer has accepted custody and left the Company's dock. Revenues for products shipped to customers are recognized when title passes upon shipment. Customer discounts and pricing allowances are included in net sales.
Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Shipping and handling costs Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship raw materials to the Company's facilities are included in inventory and cost of sales in the statement of income. Shipping and handling costs incurred to ship finished goods to customer locations and warehouse locations are included in cost of sales in the statement of income.
Business Interruption Insurance [Policy Text Block]	Business interruption insurance In 2016, the Company received $ 1.1
Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	Advertising costs Advertising costs, which include costs related to artwork and packaging development, totaled approximately $ 438,000 319,000 292,000
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Reclassifications Certain immaterial prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications did not affect previously reported amounts of net income.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New and recently adopted accounting pronouncements In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes 1.3 In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40); Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs 1.3 In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 , Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business . In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows.
