Business Description and 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”) manufactures tissue products serving the private label, "at-home" market and, to a lesser extent, the “away-from-home” market. The Company has a manufacturing facility in Pryor, Oklahoma and owns manufacturing assets located in Mexicali, Mexico. The Company produces bulk rolls of tissue paper, known as parent rolls, and converts parent rolls into finished products, including paper towels, bathroom tissue, and paper napkins. The Company’s primary customer base in the “at-home” market consists of dollar stores and other discount retailers that offer a limited selected across a broad range of products at everyday low prices in a smaller store format. Any excess parent rolls are sold on the open market. When the Company’s converting production requirements exceed its paper making capacity, the Company purchases parent rolls in the open market to meet those converting requirements.
	The Company has owned and operated its Pryor, Oklahoma facility 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 and Note 7). 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”). As a result of the transaction, Fabrica manufactures tissue products for Orchids that are primarily private label products for domestic value retailers, and food service and janitorial supply companies.
	The Company's stock trades on the NYSE MKT under the ticker symbol "TIS."
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orchids Paper Products Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Cash and short-term investments
	Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks that management expects to utilize for operational activities. Cash equivalents (highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less) that management expects to utilize for future investing and financing activities are included in short-term investments.
	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.
	Inventories
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company's cost is based on standard cost, specific identification, or FIFO (first-in, first-out). Standard costs approximate actual costs on a first-in, first-out basis. Material, labor, and factory overhead necessary to produce the inventories are included in the standard cost.
	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.
	Goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived 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.
	As the goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is related the acquisition that occurred in June of 2014 (see Note 2), the Company plans to perform its initial annual goodwill impairment test in 2015.
	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 to 20 years.
	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, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
	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 investment tax credits earned on eligible capital expenditures in the State of Oklahoma. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.
	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 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $60,000, $7,000, and $7,000, respectively, and has been classified as interest expense in the statement of income.
	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
	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
	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.
	Advertising costs
	Advertising costs, which include costs related to artwork and packaging development, totaled approximately $292,000, $618,000, and $604,000, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These costs are expensed when incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
	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 from those estimates.
	New accounting pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard under U.S. GAAP under which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company, but it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting of share-based payments and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting and as such, should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. As the Company’s current share-based payments require only time-based or market-based targets rather than performance targets, this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2 - Fabrica Transaction	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 2 —Fabrica Transaction
	On May 5, 2014, Orchids Paper Products Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Orchids Mexico, entered into an asset purchase agreement (“APA”) with Fabrica to acquire certain assets and 100% of the U.S. business of Fabrica.  One June 3, 2014, the Company closed on the transaction set forth in the APA, and in connection therewith, entered into a supply agreement (“Supply Agreement”) and an equipment lease agreement (“Equipment Lease Agreement”) (collectively, the “Fabrica Transaction”).  Orchids expects the Fabrica Transaction to allow the Company to effectively and efficiently service customers in the western United States.
	Asset Purchase Agreement and Assignment and Assumption of Supply Agreement
	Pursuant to the terms of the APA, Orchids Mexico acquired a paper machine, two converting lines, Fabrica’s U.S. customer list, exclusive rights to all of Fabrica’s trademarks in the United States, and Fabrica’s covenant not to compete in the United States. The purchase price consisted of 411,650 shares of Orchids’ common stock, which were valued at $12.0 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the closing date and had a fair market value of $9.6 million on the closing date due to restrictions on the sale of the stock. In connection with closing the APA, Orchids Paper Products Company also entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Supply Agreement with Elgin Finance & Investment Corp. (“Elgin”) for $16.7 million in cash and 274,433 shares of Orchids’ common stock, which were valued at $8.0 million based on the closing price of the Company’s shares on the closing date and had a fair market value of $6.4 million on the closing date due to restrictions on the sale of the stock, in exchange for the assignment to Orchids of Elgin’s supply agreement with Fabrica which provided Elgin exclusive supply rights with respect to Fabrica’s U.S. business.
	Under the Supply Agreement, the Company has the right to purchase from Fabrica up to 19,800 tons of parent rolls and equivalent converting capacity for certain specified product during each twelve month period following the effective date of the Supply Agreement. The Company may purchase up to an additional 7,700 tons annually in each of the first two years of the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, Fabrica and its affiliates will be subject to a non-compete provision with respect to business in the U. S.  The Supply Agreement has an initial term of twenty years.  In the event of a termination of the Supply Agreement due to (i) a material breach as a result of intentional, willful or grossly negligent conduct by Fabrica, (ii) a breach of Fabrica’s covenant not to compete, or (iii) a voluntary filing of bankruptcy by Fabrica, Fabrica must pay the Company $100 million in liquidated damages.  In the event of a change of control of Fabrica, the Company will have a two year right to terminate the Supply Agreement, and in such event, Fabrica would be required to pay the Company liquidated damages of $36.7 million.
	Equipment Lease Agreement
	Pursuant to the terms of the Equipment Lease Agreement, Orchids Mexico will lease the paper making and converting assets acquired under the APA back to Fabrica. The rental fee will be based upon the number of metric tons shipped by Fabrica to the Company, subject to annual adjustment based on the calculation of the purchase price for product under the Supply Agreement. The Equipment Lease Agreement has a term of twenty years, but will terminate automatically upon termination of the Supply Agreement.
	Upon the earlier of (i) the termination of the Equipment Lease Agreement or (ii) the purchase by Orchids of a separate paper making or converting asset and the entry into of an equipment lease agreement between Orchids and Fabrica with respect to such purchased asset, Orchids Mexico shall have the right to sell to Fabrica the paper assets leased under the Equipment Lease Agreement on an as-is-where-is basis, for $12.0 million.
	Rental fees earned under the Equipment Lease Agreement are offset to purchases under the Supply Agreement and are recorded as cost of sales in the statement of income in accordance with U.S. GAAP for collaborative arrangements.  Rental fees earned under the Equipment Lease Agreement were $1,912,000 for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Purchase Price Allocation
	The acquisition of Fabrica’s U.S. business in the Fabrica Transaction is being accounted for under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 805, “Business Combinations”.  The $32.7 million purchase price of $16.7 million in cash (financed by a term loan) and $16.0 million in common stock was allocated as follows (in thousands):
	Total purchase price	$	32,700
	Less: net assets acquired
	Machinery & Equipment		7,150
	Intangible Asset - Supply and Equipment Lease Agreements		12,800
	Intangible Asset - Licenses/Trademarks		1,350
	Intangible Asset - Non-Compete Agreement		1,150
	Intangible Asset - Customer Relationships		2,690
	Goodwill	$	7,560
	Intangibles and Goodwill
	Intangible assets acquired totaled $18.0 million.  The Company amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis over the expected lives of the assets: Supply and Equipment Lease Agreements — 20 years; Licenses/Trademarks — 20 years; Non-Compete Agreement — 2 years; Customer Relationships — 12 years, resulting in a weighted-average amortization period of 12 years.  Intangible assets at December 31, 2014 were:
		Life		Gross Carrying		Accumulated		Net Carrying
		(in years)		Amount		Amortization		Value
				(in thousands)
	Intangible Asset - Supply and Equipment Lease Agreements		20	$	12,800	$	320	$	12,480
	Intangible Asset - Licenses/Trademarks		20		1,350		34	$	1,316
	Intangible Asset - Non-Compete Agreement		2		1,150		287	$	863
	Intangible Asset - Customer Relationships		12		2,690		112	$	2,578
				$	17,990	$	753	$	17,237
	Estimated future intangible amortization expense is $1.5 million in 2015, $1.2 million in 2016, and $0.9 million in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively.
	Goodwill of $7.6 million represents the premium the Company was willing to pay to enter into a long-term relationship with Fabrica and the benefits the Company expects to receive from being able to cost effectively serve its current customers and to develop relationships with new customers with distribution centers in the western United States.  The relationship with Fabrica is expected to provide opportunities for future production capacity and sales growth.  Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment, or if circumstances occur that more likely than not will reduce the fair value of the reporting unit to below its carrying amount.  No goodwill impairment has been recorded as of December 31, 2014.  There were no other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill subsequent to the acquisition. All of the goodwill related to the Fabrica Transaction is expected to be tax-deductible.

Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
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 estimated fair value of the Company's short-term investments, which consist of commercial deposits in money market funds, was $0 and $5,035,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These short-term investments are considered Level 1 measurements in the fair value valuation hierarchy. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated by management to approximate the carrying value of $36,362,000 and $15,079,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Management's estimates are based on periodic comparisons of the characteristics of the Company's obligations, including floating interest rates, credit rating, maturity and collateral, to current market conditions as stated by an independent third-party financial institution. Such valuation inputs are considered a Level 2 measurement in the fair value valuation hierarchy.
	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, 2014 and 2013.

	Purchases under the gas contract were $1.9 million, $1.9 million, and $2.0 million, in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If the Company is unable to purchase the contracted amounts and the market price at that time is less than the contracted price, the Company would be obligated under the terms of the agreements to reimburse an amount equal to the difference between the contracted amount and the amount actually purchased, multiplied by the difference between the contract price and a price designated in the contract (approximates spot price).
	Other purchase commitments
	In November 2013, Orchids announced two projects to upgrade paper making and converting assets at the Company’s Pryor, Oklahoma facility: a project to replace two existing paper machines with a new paper machine in the Company’s paper mill, and a project to upgrade an existing converting line. These projects have a total estimated cost of $38.9 million. As part of these projects, the Company entered into significant purchase orders to: (i) purchase a paper machine, (ii) purchase a converting rewinder and (iii) purchase construction and installation services for the new paper machine. Orchids has also entered into significant purchase orders to purchase other production equipment unrelated to these projects. As of December 31, 2014, obligations under these purchase orders totaled $10.1 million. The purchase order to purchase a paper machine is denominated in Euros. The amounts included herein were translated to US dollars using the spot exchange rate as of December 31, 2014.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 7—Long-Term Debt and Revolving Line of Credit
	In June 2014, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”) consisting of the following:
		●	a $45 million revolving credit line due June 2019:
		●	$25 million permitted for domestic working capital purposes; and
		●	$20 million permitted for the purchase and construction of a paper machine and upgrade of one of the converting lines at the Company’s Pryor, Oklahoma facility.
		●	a $30 million term loan with a 6-year term due June 2020 and amortized as follows:
		●	Real estate debt amortized as if it had a 22-year life;
		●	Equipment debt amortized as if it had a 7-year life; and
		●	Debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of a supply agreement with Fabrica (see Note 2) amortized as if it had a 10-year life.
	The Credit Agreement had the effect of (i) extending and increasing the Company’s revolving working capital line of credit from $15 million to $25 million, (ii) increasing the Company’s revolving line of credit to include $20 million for the purchase and construction of assets in Oklahoma, and (iii) refinancing and extending the Company’s $10.8 million Real Estate loan ($9.5 million outstanding) and $7.2 million Machinery and Equipment loan ($5.1 million outstanding) into a single $30 million term loan, used to provide funding for the $16.7 million paid to close the Fabrica Transaction described in Note 2.
	Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, amounts outstanding will bear interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus a specified margin, depending upon the Company’s quarterly Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement.  Additionally, the Company will pay a commitment fee for the available portion of its revolving credit line at the applicable rate, as follows:
			Interest			Commitment

	The amount available under the revolving credit line permitted for domestic working capital purposes may be reduced in the event that the Company's borrowing base, which is based upon qualified receivables, qualified inventory and qualified equipment purchases, is less than $25.0 million. As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s borrowing base was $24.5 million, including $7.2 million of eligible accounts receivable, $4.3 million of eligible inventory and $13.0 million of eligible equipment purchases.
	Obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, limitations on additional borrowings, additional investments and asset sales. The financial covenants, which are tested as of the end of each fiscal quarter, require the Company to maintain the following specific ratios: fixed charge coverage (minimum of 1.20 to 1.0) and leverage (maximum of 3.50 to 1.0). The Company has the right to prepay borrowings under the Credit Agreement at any time without penalty.

			31.7	%		26.9	%		30.9	%
	For the year ended December 31, 2014, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to a change in estimate 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 Oklahoma Investment Tax Credits (“OITC”) associated with investments in the Company’s manufacturing operations. 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%. The Company’s earnings in Mexico are subject to the country’s 30% income tax rate. The net effect of foreign taxes was not material to the Company’s effective tax rate due to U.S. income tax credits related to foreign-sourced income.
	For the year ended December 31, 2013, the effective tax rate was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to OITC associated with investments in the Company’s manufacturing operations, tax benefits recognized when employees and board members exercised stock options during the year, manufacturing deductions and Federal Indian Employment Credits ("IEC"). The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the "TRA") was signed into law by the President of the United States on January 2, 2013. The TRA, among other things, extended through 2013 an array of temporary business and individual tax provisions, including increased deduction amounts under Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Service code, the additional 50% first-year bonus depreciation deduction, IEC and accelerated depreciation for business property on an Indian reservation. Recognition of the IEC for 2012 in the amount of $222,000 was deferred until the first quarter of 2013 as the TRA was not signed into law until 2013. Due to the extension of the provisions described above, the TRA did not otherwise have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
	The Company has significant carryforwards for the State of Oklahoma which includes an Oklahoma Investment Tax Credit of $2.4 million primarily associated with the Company's $36 million investment in a new paper machine in 2006 and a $20 million investment in a new converting line in 2010. The Company believes that its future state taxable income will be sufficient to allow realization before the Oklahoma Investment Tax Credit expires in varying amounts from 2026 through 2034. Accordingly, deferred tax assets have been recognized for this credit.
	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. The Company recognizes interest related to income taxes as interest expense and penalties as selling, general and administrative expenses. The tax years 2012 through 2014 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, 2014, 2013 and 2012, is as follows:

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block]	Note 10—Stock Based Compensation
	In April 2014, the Board of Directors and the stockholders approved the Orchids Paper Products Company 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options to employees and board members selected by the board's compensation committee and replaced the Orchids Paper Products Company 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). Equity awards granted under the 2005 Plan will continue in full force and effect under the terms of the 2005 Plan and are not changed or modified. No further grants can be made under the 2005 Plan. The Company's policy is to issue shares of remaining authorized common stock to satisfy option exercises under the Plan. A total of 400,000 shares may be issued pursuant to the Plan. As of December 31, 2014, there were 355,000 shares available for issuance under the Plan. The exercise price of each option is generally equal to the arithmetic mean of the high and low sales price per share of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Options granted to board members under the Plan generally vest immediately. Options granted to employees generally vest over a service period of 2 to 5 years or, beginning in 2014, are market-based and vest when the share price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above a certain percentage of the purchase price of the option for three consecutive business days. Options granted with market-based vesting expire if they remain unvested five years after the grant date. Options granted under the Plan have a 10-year life.

	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 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.
	The following table details the options granted to certain members of the board of directors and management that were valued using the Black-Scholes valuation model and the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model for those grants during 2012, 2013 and 2014:
													Risk

	Stock options with market-based vesting conditions
	The Company uses a Monte Carlo option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options issued with market-based vesting conditions, as these options include a market condition. 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. The Company expenses the cost of these options granted over the implicit, or derived, service period of the option based on the completed Monte Carlo models.
	During 2014, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase 145,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to certain members of management. These options will become exercisable in four equal tranches, if at all, if and when the share price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above a certain percentage of the purchase price of the option for three consecutive business days, in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
				Share price required to achieve vesting
		Tranche 1		$	34.788
		Tranche 2		$	42.35
		Tranche 3		$	51.425
		Tranche 4		$	60.5
	Any unvested portion of the options shall expire five years from the date of grant and the options shall terminate ten years after the date of grant. The following table details the options granted to certain members of management that were valued using the Monte Carlo valuation model and the assumptions used in the valuation model for those grants during 2014:
	Grant		Number				Exercise			Grant Date			Risk-Free			Estimated			Dividend				Expected		Derived Service

	In 2014, none of these options vested, as the share price of the Company’s common stock did not reach any of the share prices required for vesting. Additionally, 25,000 of the options that were granted in January 2014 were forfeited when an employee left the Company.
	Stock options issued outside of the 2014 Plan
	In April 2014, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve the options granted to Mr. Jeffrey S. Schoen, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, on November 8, 2013. Upon his appointment as an officer of the Company, Mr. Schoen was granted an option to purchase up to 400,000 shares of the common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $30.25 per share. The option will become exercisable, if at all, if and when the share price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above a certain percentage of the purchase price of the option for three consecutive business days, in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
	Share price closes at or above the following percentage of the purchase price for the Option		Number of shares that become vested
	115% (share price $34.788)			100,000
	140% (share price $42.35)			100,000
	170% (share price $51.425)			100,000
	200% (share price $60.50)			100,000
	These options were granted outside of the 2005 Plan and the 2014 Plan. Any unvested portion of the option shall expire five years from the date of grant and the option shall terminate ten years after the date of grant. The Company used a Monte Carlo option valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of each tranche of 100,000 options, as they include a market condition. Assumptions used in the valuation model were the same as those for the stock options with market-based vesting conditions issued to employees, which are noted above. The Company expenses the cost of these options granted over the implicit service period of the option based on the completed Monte Carlo models. The following table details the assumption used in the valuation model for the options granted to Mr. Schoen:
			Number				Exercise			Grant Date			Risk-Free			Estimated			Dividend				Expected		Derived Service
			of Shares				Price			Fair Value			Interest Rate			Volatility			Yield				Life (years)		Period (years)
	Tranche 1			100,000			$	30.25		$	5.18			2.1	%		30	%		4.6	%			4.99		0.4

	Total option expense
	The Company recognized the following expenses related to all options granted during 2014, 2013 and 2012 under the 2005 Plan, the 2014 Plan and the Schoen options:
			2014				2013			2012

	Total compensation expense related to stock options		$	1,828,000			$	293,000		$	346,000
	Future expected market-based stock option expense
	The grant of options that vest based on a market condition have had and will continue to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations in 2015 and 2016.  Based on the derived service periods of the options, the Company expects to expense the compensation cost related to these options as shown in the following table.  However, if the market condition is achieved for any tranche of these options prior to the end of the derived service period, all remaining expense related to that tranche would be recognized in the period in which the market condition is achieved.

As of December 31, 2014, there was $3,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options with a time-based vesting condition for options granted in 2012, 2013 and 2014. This cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average period of 0.9 years. At December 31, 2014, there was $913,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested stock options with a market-based vesting condition for options granted in 2014. This cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis for each tranche of options granted over a weighted average period of 0.8 years.
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company received $79,000, $3,305,000, and $974,000, respectively, in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

Restricted stock
In February 2013, the Company granted 16,000 shares of restricted stock to certain employees under the 2005 Plan. These awards were valued at the arithmetic mean of the high and low market price of the Company's stock on the grant date, which was $21.695 per share, and vest ratably over a three year period beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. The Company expenses the cost of restricted stock granted over the vesting period of the shares based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company recognized expense of $51,000 and $53,000 during 2014 and 2013, respectively, related to the shares granted under the 2005 Plan.

Accounting_Policies_by_Policy_

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Principles of consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orchids Paper Products Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. 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 and short-term investments
	Cash includes cash on hand and cash in banks that management expects to utilize for operational activities. Cash equivalents (highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less) that management expects to utilize for future investing and financing activities are included in short-term investments.
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 are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company's cost is based on standard cost, specific identification, or FIFO (first-in, first-out). Standard costs approximate actual costs on a first-in, first-out basis. Material, labor, and factory overhead necessary to produce the inventories are included in the standard cost.
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.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived 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.
	As the goodwill on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is related the acquisition that occurred in June of 2014 (see Note 2), the Company plans to perform its initial annual goodwill impairment test in 2015.
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 to 20 years.
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, 2014, 2013 or 2012.
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 investment tax credits earned on eligible capital expenditures in the State of Oklahoma. Under this method, the investment tax credits are recognized as a reduction to income tax expense.
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 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $60,000, $7,000, and $7,000, respectively, and has been classified as interest expense in the statement of income.
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.
Advertising Cost, Policy, Expensed Advertising Cost [Policy Text Block]	Advertising costs
	Advertising costs, which include costs related to artwork and packaging development, totaled approximately $292,000, $618,000, and $604,000, for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These costs are expensed when incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
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 from those estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	New accounting pronouncements
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard under U.S. GAAP under which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Management is currently assessing the impact ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company, but it is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12, “Compensation – Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting of share-based payments and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting and as such, should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. ASU 2014-12 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. As the Company’s current share-based payments require only time-based or market-based targets rather than performance targets, this standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
