Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of accounting standards updates to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. During fiscal 2020, with the exception of the below, there have been no developments to the recently adopted accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K that are considered to have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Leases Effective September 29, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), including all related amendments, using the modified retrospective approach and recognized the cumulative effect of adoption to retained earnings. Under the new standard, the lessee of an operating lease is required to: 1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, 2) recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and 3) classify all cash payments within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. See Note 6. Leases for more information. Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance. The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model, which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosure. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating this new standard, however, the Company does not anticipate this to have a material impact. Defined Benefit Plans In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The new standard removes requirements to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point changes in assumed health care cost trend rates. The standard also adds requirements to disclose the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligations for the period and the accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to our disclosures. Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to our disclosures.

Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Revenue and Accounts Receivable [Abstract]
Revenue	3. Revenue and Accounts Receivable Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of plastic packaging products to customers. We consider the promise to transfer products to be our sole performance obligation. If the consideration agreed to in a contract includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer using the most likely amount method. Our main source of variable consideration are customer rebates. The accrual for customer rebates was $127 million and $114 million at December 28, 2019 and September 28, 2019, respectively, and is included in Other current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company disaggregates revenue based on reportable business segment, geography, and significant product line. Refer to Note 10. Segment and Geographic Data for further information.
Accounts Receivable	The Company has entered into various qualifying factoring agreements to sell certain receivables to third-party financial institutions. The transfer of receivables is accounted for as a sale, without recourse. Net sales available under qualifying U.S. based programs were $222 million and $212 million for the three months ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. There were no amounts outstanding from financial institutions related to these programs. The fees associated with the transfer of receivables for all programs were not material for any of the periods presented.

Acquisitions and Dispositions [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Dispositions	4. Acquisitions and Dispositions RPC Group Plc In July 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the entire outstanding share capital of RPC Group Plc (“RPC”), for aggregate consideration of $6.1 billion. RPC is a leading plastic product design and engineering company for packaging and select non-packaging markets, with 189 sites in 34 countries. RPC develops and manufactures a diverse range of products for a wide variety of customers, including many household names, and enjoys strong market positions in many of the end markets it serves and the geographical areas in which it operates. It uses a wide range of polymer conversion techniques in both rigid and flexible plastics manufacture, and is one of the largest plastic converters in Europe. The international based facilities are operated within the Consumer Packaging International segment with the remaining U.S. based facilities operated within the Consumer Packaging North America segment. The results of RPC have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the date of the acquisition. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Under this method, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been recorded based on preliminary estimates of fair value. The preliminary fair value estimates were determined based on our historical acquisition experience. The final purchase accounting allocations for the RPC acquisition will depend on a number of factors, including the final valuation of our long-lived tangible and identified intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and finalization of income tax effects of the opening balance sheet. The actual fair values of RPC’s assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill may differ materially once finalized. The preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed consisted of working capital of $700 million, property and equipment of $2,375 million, intangible assets of $1,712 million, goodwill of $2,205 million and other assets and long-term liabilities of $922 million. The working capital includes a $39 million step up of inventory to fair value. The Company has recognized goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected cost synergies, and expects goodwill to be partially deductible for tax purposes. To finance the purchase, the Company issued $1,250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% first priority senior secured notes due 2026, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.625% second priority senior secured notes due 2027, and entered into incremental term loans due July 2026, to fund the remainder of the purchase price. When including RPC results for the periods prior to the acquisition date, unaudited pro forma net sales and net income were $3.2 billion and $97 million, respectively, for the quarterly period ended December 29, 2018. The unaudited pro forma net sales and net income assume that the RPC acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period. Seal For Life In July 2019, the Company completed the sale of its Seal For Life ("SFL") business which was operated in our Health, Hygiene & Specialties reporting segment for net proceeds of $325 million. SFL recorded $96 million in net sales during fiscal 2019.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	6. Leases During the first quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The Company leases certain manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office space, manufacturing equipment, office equipment, and automobiles. Under the new standard, we recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with original lease terms greater than one year based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis. Short-term leases, with original lease terms of less than one year, are not recognized on the balance sheet. We are party to certain leases, namely for manufacturing facilities, which offer renewal options to extend the original lease term. Renewal options are included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability based on our assessment of the probability that the options will be exercised. We have elected the package of practical expedients which allows the Company to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases. Additionally, we have elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all asset classes. Supplemental lease information is as follows: Leases Classification December 28, 2019 Assets Operating lease right-of-use assets Right-of-use assets $ 596 Finance lease right-of-use assets Property, plant, and equipment 108 Current liabilities Operating lease liabilities Other current liabilities $ 110 Finance lease liabilities Current portion of long-term debt 19 Non-current liabilities Operating lease liabilities Operating lease liabilities $ 502 Finance lease liabilities Long-term debt, less current portion 82 Lease cost Quarterly Period Ended December 28, 2019 Operating lease cost $ 29 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets 4 Interest on lease liabilities 1 Total finance lease cost 5 Short-term lease cost 4 Total lease cost $ 38 Cash paid for amounts included in lease liabilities Quarterly Period Ended December 28, 2019 Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 29 Operating cash flows from finance leases 1 Financing cash flows from finance leases 13 December 28, 2019 Weighted-average remaining lease term - operating leases 8 years Weighted-average remaining lease term - finance leases 4 years Weighted-average discount rate - operating leases 4.6 % Weighted-average discount rate - finance leases 3.7 % At December 28, 2019 , annual lease commitments were as follows: Fiscal Year Operating Leases Finance Leases Remainder of 2020 $ 114 $ 23 2021 105 27 2022 90 26 2023 77 13 2024 67 8 Thereafter 290 11 Total lease payments 743 108 Less: Interest (131 ) (7 ) Present value of lease liabilities $ 612 $ 101

Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to help manage market risk and reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. Cross-Currency Swaps The Company is party to certain cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk. The swap agreements mature May 2022 (€250 million) and June 2024 (€1,625 million and £700 million). In addition to the cross-currency swaps, we hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk by designating foreign currency denominated long-term debt as net investment hedges of certain foreign operations. As of December 28, 2019, we had outstanding long-term debt of €1,072 million that was designated as a hedge of our net investment in certain euro-denominated foreign subsidiaries. When valuing cross-currency swaps the Company utilizes Level 2 inputs (substantially observable). Interest Rate Swaps The primary purpose of the Company’s interest rate swap activities is to manage interest expense variability associated with our outstanding variable rate term loan debt. When valuing interest rate swaps the Company utilizes Level 2 inputs (substantially observable). As of December 28, 2019, the Company effectively had (i) a $450 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable LIBOR contract for a fixed annual rate of 2.000%, with an expiration in May 2022, (ii) a $1 billion interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable LIBOR contract for a fixed annual rate of 2.808% with an expiration in September 2021, (iii) a $400 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable LIBOR contract for a fixed annual rate of 2.533% with an expiration in July 2023, (iv) a $884 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable LIBOR contract for a fixed annual rate of 1.857%, with an expiration in June 2024, and (v) a $473 million interest rate swap transaction that swaps a one-month variable LIBOR contract for a fixed annual rate of 2.050%, with an expiration in June 2024. The Company records the fair value positions of all derivative financial instruments on a net basis by counterparty for which a master netting arrangement is utilized. Balances on a gross basis are as follows: Derivative Instruments Hedge Designation Balance Sheet Location December 28, 2019 September 28, 2019 Cross-currency swaps Designated Other assets $ 28 $ 88 Cross-currency swaps Designated Other long-term liabilities 42 — Interest rate swaps Designated Other long-term liabilities 61 81 The effect of the Company's derivative instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Income is as follows: Quarterly Period Ended Derivative Instruments Statements of Income Location December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Cross-currency swaps Interest expense, net $ (2 ) $ (4 ) Interest rate swaps Interest expense, net 17 (2 ) Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present or when the Company completes an acquisition. The Company adjusts certain long-lived assets to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to value the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. These assets that are subject to our annual impairment analysis primarily include our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our property, plant and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company determined Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets were not impaired in our annual fiscal 2019 assessment. No impairment indicators were identified in the current quarter. Included in the following table are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 28, 2019 and September 28, 2019 , along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement during the period: As of December 28, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Impairment Indefinite-lived trademarks $ — $ — $ 248 $ 248 $ — Goodwill — — 5,084 5,084 — Definite lived intangible assets — — 2,508 2,508 — Property, plant, and equipment — — 4,799 4,799 2 Total $ — $ — $ 12,639 $ 12,639 $ 2 As of September 28, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Impairment Indefinite-lived trademarks $ — $ — $ 248 $ 248 $ — Goodwill — — 5,051 5,051 — Definite lived intangible assets — — 2,532 2,532 — Property, plant, and equipment — — 4,714 4,714 8 Total $ — $ — $ 12,545 $ 12,545 $ 8 The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate and cross-currency swap agreements, and capital lease obligations. The fair value of our marketable long-term indebtedness exceeded book value by $167 million as of December 28, 2019. The Company's long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available. The Company is party to certain cross-currency swaps to hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk. The swap agreements mature May 2022 (€250 million) and June 2024 (€1,625 million and £700 million). In addition to the cross-currency swaps, we hedge a portion of our foreign currency risk by designating foreign currency denominated long-term debt as net investment hedges of certain foreign operations.

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share [Abstract]
Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share	13. Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share when their effect is dilutive. For the three months ended December 28, 2019, 7.2 million shares were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net income per share calculations: Quarterly Period Ended (in millions, except per share amounts) December 28, 2019 December 29, 2018 Numerator Consolidated net income $ 47 $ 88 Denominator Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 132.3 131.1 Dilutive shares 2.0 2.7 Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding - diluted 134.3 133.8 Per common share income Basic $ 0.36 $ 0.67 Diluted $ 0.35 $ 0.66

Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information [Abstract]
Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information	15. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information Berry Global, Inc. (“Issuer”) has notes outstanding which are fully, jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, Berry Global Group, Inc. (for purposes of this Note, “Parent”) and substantially all of Issuer’s domestic subsidiaries. Separate narrative information or financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because they are 100% owned by Parent and the guarantor subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee such debt on a joint and several basis. A guarantee of a guarantor subsidiary of the securities will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: the sale of the capital stock of such guarantor if such sale complies with the indentures, the designation of such guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, the defeasance or discharge of the indenture or in the case of a restricted subsidiary that is required to guarantee after the relevant issuance date, if such guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of the issuer. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are also limited as necessary to prevent them from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and any guarantees guaranteeing subordinated debt are subordinated to certain other of the Company’s debts. Parent also guarantees the Issuer’s term loans and revolving credit facilities. The guarantor subsidiaries guarantee our term loans and are co-borrowers under our revolving credit facility. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent, Issuer, guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Issuer and guarantor financial information includes all of our domestic operating subsidiaries; our non-guarantor subsidiaries include our foreign subsidiaries, certain immaterial domestic subsidiaries and the unrestricted subsidiaries under the Issuer’s indentures. The Parent uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the Issuer in the Condensed Consolidating Supplemental Financial Statements. The Issuer uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. All consolidating entries are included in the eliminations column along with the elimination of intercompany balances.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of accounting standards updates to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. During fiscal 2020, with the exception of the below, there have been no developments to the recently adopted accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the Company's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K that are considered to have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Leases Effective September 29, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), including all related amendments, using the modified retrospective approach and recognized the cumulative effect of adoption to retained earnings. Under the new standard, the lessee of an operating lease is required to: 1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, 2) recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and 3) classify all cash payments within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. See Note 6. Leases for more information. Credit Losses In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance. The new standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for most financial assets held at the reporting date based on an expected loss model, which includes historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new standard also requires enhanced disclosure. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating this new standard, however, the Company does not anticipate this to have a material impact. Defined Benefit Plans In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The new standard removes requirements to disclose the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income expected to be recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year and the effects of a one-percentage-point changes in assumed health care cost trend rates. The standard also adds requirements to disclose the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligations for the period and the accumulated benefit obligation ("ABO") for plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to our disclosures. Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. It also clarifies and simplifies other aspects of the accounting for income taxes. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard to our disclosures.
