Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 1 — Summary of Business and 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 13), the Company created Orchids Lessor SC, LLC, another wholly-owned subsidiary. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orchids and these wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s common stock trades on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol “TIS.” The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2018. Management believes that the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Certain 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 loss. Management Plans In assessing the Company’s liquidity, management reviews its cash and its operating and capital expenditure commitments. The Company’s liquidity needs are to meet its working capital requirements, operating expenses and capital expenditure obligations. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s current liabilities exceeded the current assets by approximately $ 149.5 163.3 At March 31, 2018, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants under its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) or its Loan Agreement for New Markets Tax Credit financing (the “NMTC Loan Agreement”), and obtained a waiver from its lenders. On April 19, 2018 the Company entered into Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 5 to the NMTC Loan Agreement, each of which, in addition to providing waivers for covenant defaults, eliminated the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, Leverage Ratio and minimum EBITDA covenant requirements, increased the borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit by $ 21.0 12.9 Additionally, the Company previously disclosed its initiative to refinance its existing long-term debt obligations, as well as to explore alternative financing, refinancing, restructuring and capital-raising activities, in order to address its ongoing liquidity needs and to maintain sufficient access to the loan and capital markets on commercially acceptable terms to finance its business. In support of these efforts, the amendment to the Credit Agreement requires that the Company engage a chief strategic officer, as well as continue to employ an investment banker, to assist the Company in pursuing strategic alternatives such as a sale, capital raise, refinancing, or other transaction. Also, while the Company intends to continue its efforts to refinance its existing long-term debt obligations, the amendment to the Credit Agreement requires that the Company and its investment banker accomplish certain actions related to the Company’s pursuit of strategic alternatives by milestone dates specified in the Credit Agreement amendment if refinancing has not yet been obtained, including developing marketing materials for the sale of the Company’s business, acquiring letters of intent from potential purchasers in form and substance acceptable to the administrative agent, and negotiating and executing a purchase agreement for the sale of the Company’s equity or assets in an amount sufficient to repay the Company’s obligations to its lenders in full. Management is evaluating all options to refinance its existing long-term debt obligations as well as exploring alternative financing, refinancing, restructuring and capital-raising activities, in order to address its ongoing liquidity needs and to maintain sufficient access to the loan and capital markets on commercially acceptable terms to finance its business. In support of these efforts, management is pursuing various initiatives including, but not limited to, the following: ⋅ Cash management: ⋅ Operating results: ⋅ Capital spending: ⋅ Strategic options: ⋅ Debt refinancing: The Company intends to continue to seek to refinance its existing long-term debt obligations as required by its existing lender and as earnings and cash flow improve and more opportunities become available. The Company may also need to seek another amendment of its Credit Agreement with its existing lenders. If the Company is unable to obtain another suitable amendment and/or a refinancing is not completed, the bank syndicate could declare a default. There can be no assurance that the Company’s lenders will agree to further waivers or amendments to the existing debt covenants. While management intends to amend or refinance the debt, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are satisfactory to it, or at all. The Company’s revenue streams are derived from sales of various consumer tissue products and parent rolls, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as single performance obligations to deliver tangible goods. Accordingly, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery of the goods. 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 control passes upon shipment. No revenue is recognized over time, and the Company’s sales revenues do not give rise to deferred assets and liabilities. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and it has an unconditional right to payment. Accounts receivable are generally collected within 45 days of being invoiced. Certain of our agreements with customers provide for cash discounts, trade promotions, customer returns and other deductions. Currently, we recognize revenue from the sale of goods measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of provisions for customer incentives. Revenue net of provisions for customer incentives is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Significant judgment is required by management to determine the most probable amount of variable consideration to apply as a reduction to net sales. The Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to not disclose unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as no obligations are expected to be satisfied in a period greater than one year. In many cases, customers pick up their purchased product, and in these cases, the Company does not recognize freight expense. When, in accordance with agreed upon terms with customers, the Company arranges for third-party freight companies to deliver the products, freight expense is accrued and recognized as a component of costs of goods sold as a fulfillment cost when the product is shipped and revenue is recognized. Expected freight costs are included in quoted prices to customers. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts . In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting 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 became effective, on a retrospective basis, for the Company on January 1, 2018. All prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation, which resulted in a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Currently Effective In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 7 — Long-Term Debt and Revolving Line of Credit In April 2015, the Company entered into its Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) to add $ 40 20.0 27.3 47.3 40 115 108.5 4 1 21.0 12.9 Additionally, the Company previously disclosed its initiative to refinance its existing long-term debt obligations, as well as to explore alternative financing, refinancing, restructuring and capital-raising activities, in order to address its ongoing liquidity needs and to maintain sufficient access to the loan and capital markets on commercially acceptable terms to finance its business. In support of these efforts, the Credit Agreement, as amended, requires that the Company engage a chief strategic officer, as well as continue to employ an investment banker, to assist the Company in pursuing strategic alternatives such as a sale, capital raise, refinancing, or other transaction. Also, while the Company intends to continue its efforts to refinance its existing long-term debt obligations, the Credit Agreement, as amended, requires that the Company and its investment banker accomplish certain actions related to the Company’s pursuit of strategic alternatives by milestone dates specified in Amendment No. 8 to the Credit Agreement if refinancing has not yet been obtained, including developing marketing materials for the sale of the Company’s business, acquiring letters of intent from potential purchasers in form and substance acceptable to the administrative agent, and negotiating and executing a purchase agreement for the sale of the Company’s equity or assets in an amount sufficient to repay the Company’s obligations to its lenders in full. The Company may also need to seek another amendment of its Credit Agreement with its existing lenders. If the Company is unable to obtain another suitable amendment and/or a refinancing is not completed, the bank syndicate could declare a default. There can be no assurance that the Company’s lenders will agree to further waivers or amendments to the existing debt covenants. While management is pursuing strategic alternatives as described above in order to address the Company’s ongoing liquidity needs and to maintain sufficient access to the loan and capital markets on commercially acceptable terms to finance its business, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing on terms that are satisfactory to it, or at all. As of March 31, 2018, the borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the term loan otherwise due in 2022 were classified as current on the balance sheet due to these uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to meet the existing debt covenants over the next twelve-month period.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared without an audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2018. Management believes that the financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. Certain 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 loss.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Revenue Recognition The Company’s revenue streams are derived from sales of various consumer tissue products and parent rolls, which are generally capable of being distinct and accounted for as single performance obligations to deliver tangible goods. Accordingly, revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally upon delivery of the goods. 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 control passes upon shipment. No revenue is recognized over time, and the Company’s sales revenues do not give rise to deferred assets and liabilities. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and it has an unconditional right to payment. Accounts receivable are generally collected within 45 days of being invoiced. Certain of our agreements with customers provide for cash discounts, trade promotions, customer returns and other deductions. Currently, we recognize revenue from the sale of goods measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of provisions for customer incentives. Revenue net of provisions for customer incentives is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Significant judgment is required by management to determine the most probable amount of variable consideration to apply as a reduction to net sales. The Company has also elected to use the practical expedient to not disclose unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as no obligations are expected to be satisfied in a period greater than one year. In many cases, customers pick up their purchased product, and in these cases, the Company does not recognize freight expense. When, in accordance with agreed upon terms with customers, the Company arranges for third-party freight companies to deliver the products, freight expense is accrued and recognized as a component of costs of goods sold as a fulfillment cost when the product is shipped and revenue is recognized. Expected freight costs are included in quoted prices to customers. Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts .
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting 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 became effective, on a retrospective basis, for the Company on January 1, 2018. All prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current period presentation, which resulted in a decrease in cash used in investing activities of $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory . In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Currently Effective In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 , Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment .
