Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation	Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation GENERAL Clearwater Paper manufactures quality consumer tissue, away-from-home tissue, parent roll tissue, bleached paperboard and pulp at manufacturing facilities across the nation. The company is a premier supplier of private label tissue to major retailers and wholesale distributors, including grocery, drug, mass merchants and discount stores. In addition, the company produces bleached paperboard used by quality-conscious printers and packaging converters, and offers services that include custom sheeting, slitting and cutting. Clearwater Paper's employees build shareholder value by developing strong customer relationships through quality and service. FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income and Stockholders' Equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. We believe that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 , as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 18, 2019. Certain 2018 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas that may require the use of estimates and measurement of uncertainty include determination of net realizable value for deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions, assessment of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, assessment of environmental matters, equity-based compensation and pension and postretirement obligation assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH We consider all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash that is held by a third party and has restrictions on its availability to us is classified as restricted cash. The following table provides details of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (In thousands) September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,815 $ 22,484 $ 76,150 Restricted cash 1,440 — 1,080 Restricted cash included in other assets, net 1,040 2,463 2,457 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 10,295 $ 24,947 $ 79,687 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, including any interest costs capitalized, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of buildings, equipment and other depreciable assets is determined using the straight-line method. Assets we acquire through business combinations have estimated lives that are typically shorter than the assets we construct or buy new. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , we capitalized $ 4.9 million of interest expense associated with the construction of a paper machine at our Shelby, North Carolina consumer products facility and $ 0.8 million of interest expense associated with the construction of a continuous pulp digester at our Lewiston, Idaho pulp and paperboard facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we capitalized $5.1 million of interest expense associated with the Shelby paper machine and $0.9 million of interest expense associated with the continuous pulp digester project. We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets with definite lives that are held-for-use and evaluate them for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may be unable to recover the carrying amount of the assets. LEASES All significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement. An ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases), and we recognize lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We primarily use our incremental borrowing rate, which is updated quarterly, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to initial direct cost and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Refer to Note 4, "Leases," for additional information. REVENUE RECOGNITION We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of tissue and paperboard products, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Transfer of control typically occurs when the title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Shipping terms generally indicate when title and the risk of loss have passed. Revenue is recognized at shipment for sales when shipping terms are free on board, or FOB, shipping point. For sales where shipping terms are FOB destination, revenue is recognized when the goods are received by the customer. Revenue from both domestic and foreign sales of our products can involve shipping terms of either FOB shipping point or FOB destination or other shipping terms, depending upon the sales agreement with the customer. We have elected to treat shipping and handling costs for FOB shipping point contracts as a fulfillment cost, not as a separate performance obligation. No revenue is recognized over time. We typically expense incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (sales commissions) when incurred because the amortization period is generally 12 months or less. We have also elected to use the practical expedient to not disclose unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as we have no unsatisfied contracts where the remaining portions are expected to be satisfied in a period greater than one year. We provide for trade promotions, customer cash discounts, customer returns and other deductions as reductions to net sales, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize . Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. Revenue net of returns and credits 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 to determine the most probable amount of variable consideration to apply as a reduction to net sales. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract. Terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days, and do not include a significant financing component. Trade accounts receivable are reported within Receivables, net, and are stated at the amount we expect to collect. Trade accounts receivable were $156.3 million and $142.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Trade accounts receivable do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the losses we expect will result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We generally determine the allowance based on a combination of actual historical write-off experience and an analysis of specific customer accounts. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.4 million and $1.5 million , respectively. Refer to Note 14, "Segment Information," for further information, including the disaggregation of revenue by segment, primary geographical market, and major product type. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS We had an Account Purchase Agreement ("APA") to sell, on a revolving and discounted basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances to an unrelated third-party financial institution. Under the APA, the maximum amount of receivables that could be sold and outstanding was $30.0 million . We retained no interest in the receivables sold under the APA, however, we did have servicing responsibilities for the sold receivables, such as collection. The fair value of the servicing arrangement was not material to our financial statements. As of September 30, 2019, all amounts collected from customers under the APA had been remitted to the third-party financial institution. At December 31, 2018, we had collected $4.9 million of cash from customers that had not yet been remitted to the third-party financial institution. During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an uncommitted supply-chain financing program with a global financial institution under which trade accounts receivable with a large customer may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institution at a discounted rate. Available capacity under this program is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable with this customer and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. We have no servicing responsibilities under this agreement. Receivables sold are de-recognized from our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2019, we had no sold receivables outstanding being serviced by us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold $159.3 million of receivables. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included within the "Changes in working capital, net" line within operating activities of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, factoring expense on the sale of receivables was $0.7 million , which is included in the "Interest expense, net" line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, factoring expense was $0.1 million . ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ARRANGEMENTS We have entered into supply-chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain of our vendors the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries on our trade payables earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor receives an early payment from a financial intermediary on a trade payable for which it invoiced us, we pay that financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the regularly scheduled due date. If we reimburse these vendors for certain fees they may incur in connection with receiving an early payment on an invoice, the amount of such invoice that would have otherwise been included in our trade payables is included in our short-term debt. As of December 31, 2018, $20.8 million was included in “Short-term debt” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets related to invoices for which we had reimbursed our vendors’ fees. There were no such amounts as of September 30, 2019. DERIVATIVES We had no activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 that required hedge or derivative accounting treatment. To help mitigate our exposure to market risk for changes in utility commodity pricing, we use firm price contracts to supply a portion of the natural gas requirements for our manufacturing facilities, which were reported through "Cost of sales" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2019 , these contracts covered approximately 47% of our expected average monthly natural gas requirements for the remainder of 2019 , and a lesser amount for 2020. These contracts qualify for treatment as “normal purchases or normal sales” under authoritative guidance and thus required no mark-to-market adjustment.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Adopted and New Accounting Standards	Recently Adopted and New Accounting Standards RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842. The new guidance increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The adoption of Topic 842 had a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $83 million and lease liabilities of approximately $88 million as of January 1, 2019. The difference between these lease assets and lease liabilities represents deferred rent balances that were reclassified on the balance sheet. The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Operations or our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We will continue to report periods prior to January 1, 2019 under prior guidance as outlined in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, " Leases ". Refer to Note 4, "Leases", for further discussion. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) . This ASU requires capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods therein, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General (Subtopic 715-20) , which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. This ASU eliminates certain disclosures associated with accumulated other comprehensive income, plan assets, related parties and the effects of interest rate basis point changes on assumed health care costs, with other disclosures being added to address significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. This ASU also clarifies disclosure requirements for projected benefit and accumulated benefit obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted and adoption on a retrospective basis for all periods presented required. We are currently assessing the timing of our adoption of this ASU and do not believe it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements beyond updating footnote disclosures. We reviewed all other new accounting pronouncements issued in the period and concluded that they are not applicable or not material to our business.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases Our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842, requires us to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as a ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures as detailed below. We adopted this standard on the effective date of January 1, 2019 and used this effective date as the date of initial application. Under this application method, we were not required to restate prior period financial information or provide Topic 842 disclosures for prior periods. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients’ which permitted us to not reassess our prior conclusions related to lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, as well as the practical expedient to not reassess certain land easements. We did not elect the use of hindsight. We combine ROU asset amortization and the change in the lease liability in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We have operating leases for manufacturing, office, warehouse and distribution space, paperboard sheeting and chipping facilities, equipment and vehicles. We also have finance leases related to our North Carolina converting and manufacturing facilities, as well as for certain office and other equipment. We determine if a contract is a lease at the inception of the arrangement. We review all options to extend, terminate or purchase the ROU assets, and when reasonably certain to exercise, we include the option in the determination of the lease term and lease liability. Our leases have remaining lease terms from less than one year to twelve years, and some of our leases include one or more options to renew. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term and are reduced by any lease incentives received. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of September 30, 2019 , our short-term leases were not material. Certain of our leases contain lease and non-lease components that are treated as a single lease component. Our variable lease costs consist primarily of taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , sublease income was immaterial to the financial statements. The tables below present financial information associated with our leases. This information is only presented as of, and for the three and six months ended, September 30, 2019 . As noted above, we adopted Topic 842 using a transition method that does not require application to periods prior to adoption.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Taxes	Income Taxes Consistent with authoritative guidance, our estimated annual effective tax rate is used to allocate expected annual income tax expense to interim periods. The rate is the ratio of estimated annual income tax expense to estimated pre-tax ordinary income, and excludes "discrete items," which are significant, unusual or infrequent items reported separately net of their related tax effect. The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the current interim period's ordinary income to determine the income tax expense allocated to the interim period. The income tax effects of discrete items are then determined separately and recognized in the interim period in which the income or expense items arise. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 is approximately 34% , compared with approximately 32% for the comparable interim period in 2018. The annual effective tax rate in 2019 is subject to variation due to several factors, including variability in pre-tax income (or loss), forecasted pre-tax income (or loss), changes in business practices, changes in tax credits and tax law developments. The rate in 2018 reflected the Federal rate reduction enacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act offset by an increase in the rate due to basis differences associated with the goodwill written-off as part of the sale of our Ladysmith facility.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt CREDIT AGREEMENTS On July 26, 2019, we entered into credit agreements with several lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent, which included (a) a $300 million Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) and (b) a $250 million asset based lending, or ABL, Credit Agreement (the "Term Loan Credit Agreement" and "ABL Credit Agreement" collectively the "Credit Agreements"). At closing, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was fully advanced and $ 58.0 million was drawn under the ABL Credit Agreement, proceeds of which were used to refinance and terminate our: (a) $200 million credit agreement dated October 31, 2016, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, ("Wells Fargo") as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, of which $135.0 million was outstanding and b) the $200 million credit agreement dated October 31, 2016, as amended, with Northwest Farm Credit Services, PCA, ("Farm Credit") as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, of which $200.0 million was outstanding (the "Prior Credit Agreements"); pay fees and expenses in connection with the Credit Agreements; and for working capital purposes. In conjunction with the termination of the Prior Credit Agreements, of which the $200 million credit agreement with Wells Fargo was treated as a modification under Topic 470, " Debt" , debt extinguishment costs, consisting of $1.7 million in breakage fees and $1.1 million in unamortized debt issuance costs, were written-off as debt retirement costs during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.6 million , related to the debt modification, are being amortized over the remaining term of the ABL Credit Agreement. We incurred debt issuance costs of $7.1 million , which are allocated and amortized over the respective terms of the Credit Agreements. As of September 30, 2019 , there was $300.0 million outstanding under our Term Loan and $ 58.0 million outstanding under our ABL Credit Agreement. The borrowings outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreements as of December 31, 2018 consisted of a combination of short-term floating base rate and LIBOR rate loans, which were classified as current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, and $100.0 million of borrowings with a three-year fixed interest rate that was included in “Long-term debt” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Credit Agreements contain certain customary representations, warranties, and affirmative and negative covenants of us and our subsidiaries that restrict us and our subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions, including, incurrence of indebtedness, creation of liens, mergers or consolidations, dispositions of assets, repurchase or redemption of capital stock and certain types of indebtedness, making certain investments, entering into certain transactions with affiliates or changing the nature of our business. At September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with the Credit Agreements. Term Loan Credit Agreement The Term Loan Credit Agreement matures on July 26, 2026. We are required to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount in quarterly installments on the last day of each March, June, September and December, commencing March 31, 2020, and ending with the last such day to occur prior to the maturity date, in an aggregate amount for each such date equal to the aggregate principal amount of the initial loan amount (as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the prepayment provisions of the Term Loan Credit Agreement) multiplied by 0.25% . In addition, we must make mandatory prepayments of principal under the Term Loan Credit Agreement upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including certain asset sales (subject to customary reinvestment rights), debt issuances not permitted under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, and based on a percentage, which may vary from 50% to 0% depending on our secured leverage ratio, of annual excess cash flows in excess of certain threshold amounts, less any voluntary prepayments under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Any remaining outstanding principal balance under the Term Loan Credit Agreement is repayable on the maturity date. Amounts repaid or prepaid by us with respect to the loans under the Term Loan Credit Agreement cannot be reborrowed. We may, at our option, prepay any borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty (except in certain circumstances). We may add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions in an amount not to exceed (1) $100 million , plus (2) the amount of all voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Credit Agreement (other than prepayments funded with long-term indebtedness), plus (3) an additional amount, so long as after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional amount, our pro forma first lien secured leverage ratio would not exceed 2.00 to 1.00 . Under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, loans generally may bear interest based on LIBOR or an annual base rate, as applicable, plus, in each case, an applicable margin, when our leverage ratio is (i) less than or equal to 4.25 to 1.00 , of 3.00% per annum in the case of LIBOR loans and of 2.00% per annum in the case of annual base rate loans and (ii) greater than 4.25 to 1.00 , of 3.25% per annum in the case of LIBOR loans and of 2.25% per annum in the case of annual base rate loans. At September 30, 2019, our applicable margin on LIBOR loans was 3.25% . ABL Credit Agreement The ABL Credit Agreement matures on July 26, 2024 and includes a $250 million revolving loan commitment, subject to borrowing base limitations based on a percentage of applicable eligible receivables and eligible inventory. Up to $15 million of the ABL Credit Agreement is available for the issuance of letters of credit, of which $5.5 million was utilized at September 30, 2019. We may, at our option, prepay any borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time without premium or penalty (except in certain circumstances). Borrowings under the ABL Credit Agreement are also subject to mandatory prepayment in certain circumstances, including in the event that borrowings exceed applicable borrowing base limits. We may also increase commitments under the ABL Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100 million , subject to obtaining commitments from any participating lenders and certain other conditions. Under the ABL Credit Agreement, loans may bear interest based on LIBOR or an annual base rate, as applicable, plus, in each case, an applicable margin that is based on availability (as determined under the ABL Credit Agreement) that may vary from 1.25% per annum to 1.75% per annum in the case of LIBOR loans and 0.25% per annum to 0.75% per annum in the case of annual base rate loans. In addition, a commitment fee based on unused availability is also payable which may vary from 0.25% per annum to 0.375% per annum. From July 26, 2019 through September 30, 2019, our weighted average interest rate was 3.8% . At September 30, 2019, we were able to borrow with an applicable margin of 1.25% on LIBOR loans and our commitment fee rate was 0.375% . The ABL Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant, which requires us to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00 , provided that the financial covenant under the ABL Credit Agreement is only applicable when availability falls below a certain threshold.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , we made contributions of $0.3 million to our company-sponsored non-qualified pension plan. We estimate contributions will total $0.4 million in 2019 . We do not anticipate funding our OPEB plans in 2019 except to pay benefit costs as incurred during the year by plan participants. We record the service component of net periodic cost (benefit) as part of "Cost of sales" and "Selling, general, and administrative expenses," while the non-service components of net periodic cost (benefit) are recorded to "Non-operating pension and other postretirement benefit costs (income)" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Common Share	Earnings per Share Basic (loss) earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus all potentially dilutive securities that were assumed to be converted into common shares at the beginning of the period under the treasury stock method. This method requires the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents be excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the periods in which net losses are reported because the effect is anti-dilutive. The following table reconciles the number of common shares used in calculating the basic and diluted net earnings per share: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding 1 16,538,569 16,486,935 16,531,195 16,492,843 Incremental shares due to: Restricted stock units — 22,461 — 27,893 Performance shares — 54,253 — 52,508 Stock options — — — 60 Diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding 16,538,569 16,563,649 16,531,195 16,573,304 Basic net (loss) earnings per common share $ (0.66 ) $ 2.09 $ (0.46 ) $ 2.67 Diluted net (loss) earnings per common share (0.66 ) 2.08 (0.46 ) 2.66 Anti-dilutive shares excluded from calculation 1,060,643 985,312 1,040,544 935,037 1 Basic weighted-average common shares outstanding includes restricted stock unit awards that are fully vested, but are deferred for future issuance.

Equity-Based Compensation	Equity-Based Compensation We recognize equity-based compensation expense for all equity-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance shares and stock options, based on estimated fair values. EMPLOYEE AWARDS Employee equity-based compensation expense (income) was recognized as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (In thousands) 2019 2018 2019 2018 Restricted stock units $ 794 $ 595 $ 1,975 $ 1,599 Performance shares (682 ) 499 (164 ) 1,409 Stock options 357 639 1,047 1,767 Total employee equity-based compensation expense $ 469 $ 1,733 $ 2,858 $ 4,775 As provided in the Clearwater Paper Corporation 2017 Stock Incentive Plan, the performance measure used to determine the number of performance shares ultimately issuable for performance shares granted in 2019 is a free cash flow performance measure for 70% of the performance share awards. For the remaining 30% of the grants, a return on invested capital measure is used. The combined performance of these measures is then subject to an adjustment (increase or decrease) of up to 25% based on our total shareholder return, or TSR, compared to the TSR performance of a selected index. The number of performance shares actually issued, as a percentage of the amount subject to the performance share award, could range from 0% - 200% . Throughout the service periods we assess the probability of achieving the performance conditions for our applicable performance share grants, and expense is recognized based on the probable outcomes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , 47,504 RSUs were settled and distributed. After adjusting for minimum tax withholdings, a net 32,992 shares were issued. In connection with the issued RSUs, the minimum tax withholding payments made during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 totaled $0.4 million . During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , we had 75,223 stock option awards expire with a weighted-average exercise price of $51.69 . At September 30, 2019 , we had 515,438 stock option awards that were exercisable with a weighted-average exercise price of $51.19 . The following table summarizes the number of share-based awards granted under the Clearwater Paper Corporation 2017 Stock Incentive Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the grant-date fair value of the awards: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Number of Weighted-Average Fair Restricted stock units 137,037 $ 26.61 Performance shares 151,664 26.60 DIRECTOR AWARDS Annually, each outside member of our Board of Directors receives deferred equity-based awards that are measured in units of our common stock and ultimately settled in cash at the time of payment. Accordingly, the compensation expense associated with these awards is subject to fluctuations each quarter based on mark-to-market adjustments at each reporting period in line with changes in the market price of our common stock. As a result of the mark-to-market adjustment, we recorded director equity-based compensation expense of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 , we recorded director equity-based compensation expense of $0.1 million and a benefit of $1.9 million , respectively. As of September 30, 2019 , the liability amounts associated with director equity-based compensation included in "Other long-term obligations" on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet were $2.2 million . At December 31, 2018 , the liability amounts associated with director equity-based compensation included in "Other long-term obligations" and "Accounts payable and accrued liabilities" totaled $0.8 million and $1.3 million , respectively.

Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements The estimated fair values of our financial instruments at the dates presented below are as follows: September 30, December 31, 2019 2018 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (In thousands) Amount Value Amount Value Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash (Level 1) $ 10,295 $ 10,295 $ 24,947 $ 24,947 Short-term borrowings under revolving credit agreements (Level 2) 58,000 58,000 100,000 99,909 Other short-term debt (Level 1) — — 20,833 20,833 Long-term debt (Level 2) 875,000 863,340 675,000 612,546 Accounting guidance establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of financial instruments, providing a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, or “Level 1” measurements, followed by quoted prices of similar assets or observable market data considering the assets' underlying maturities, or “Level 2” measurements, and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs, or “Level 3” measurements. The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should seek to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, borrowings under the revolving credit agreements, other short-term debt and long-term debt are the only items measured at fair value on a recurring basis. For cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and any revolving line of credit borrowings, the carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based upon quoted market prices for similar debt issues or estimated based on average market prices for comparable debt when there is no quoted market price. We do not have any financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Nature of Operations and Basi_2

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation - (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Supply Commitment [Table Text Block]	ACCOUNTS PAYABLE ARRANGEMENTS We have entered into supply-chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain of our vendors the option to be paid by the financial intermediaries on our trade payables earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor receives an early payment from a financial intermediary on a trade payable for which it invoiced us, we pay that financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the regularly scheduled due date. If we reimburse these vendors for certain fees they may incur in connection with receiving an early payment on an invoice, the amount of such invoice that would have otherwise been included in our trade payables is included in our short-term debt. As of December 31, 2018, $20.8 million was included in “Short-term debt” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets related to invoices for which we had reimbursed our vendors’ fees. There were no such amounts as of September 30, 2019.
Leases	LEASES All significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement. An ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases), and we recognize lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. We primarily use our incremental borrowing rate, which is updated quarterly, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to initial direct cost and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Refer to Note 4, "Leases," for additional information.
Account Purchase Agreement [Table Text Block]	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE ARRANGEMENTS We had an Account Purchase Agreement ("APA") to sell, on a revolving and discounted basis, certain trade accounts receivable balances to an unrelated third-party financial institution. Under the APA, the maximum amount of receivables that could be sold and outstanding was $30.0 million . We retained no interest in the receivables sold under the APA, however, we did have servicing responsibilities for the sold receivables, such as collection. The fair value of the servicing arrangement was not material to our financial statements. As of September 30, 2019, all amounts collected from customers under the APA had been remitted to the third-party financial institution. At December 31, 2018, we had collected $4.9 million of cash from customers that had not yet been remitted to the third-party financial institution. During the third quarter of 2019, we entered into an uncommitted supply-chain financing program with a global financial institution under which trade accounts receivable with a large customer may be acquired, without recourse, by the financial institution at a discounted rate. Available capacity under this program is dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable with this customer and the financial institution’s willingness to purchase such receivables. We have no servicing responsibilities under this agreement. Receivables sold are de-recognized from our Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of September 30, 2019, we had no sold receivables outstanding being serviced by us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we sold $159.3 million of receivables. The proceeds from these sales of receivables are included within the "Changes in working capital, net" line within operating activities of our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, factoring expense on the sale of receivables was $0.7 million , which is included in the "Interest expense, net" line in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, factoring expense was $0.1 million .
SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES	SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant areas that may require the use of estimates and measurement of uncertainty include determination of net realizable value for deferred tax assets, uncertain income tax positions, assessment of impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, assessment of environmental matters, equity-based compensation and pension and postretirement obligation assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.
RESTRICTED CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS	CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND RESTRICTED CASH We consider all highly liquid instruments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash that is held by a third party and has restrictions on its availability to us is classified as restricted cash. The following table provides details of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (In thousands) September 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 September 30, 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 7,815 $ 22,484 $ 76,150 Restricted cash 1,440 — 1,080 Restricted cash included in other assets, net 1,040 2,463 2,457 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows $ 10,295 $ 24,947 $ 79,687
TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE	REVENUE RECOGNITION We enter into contracts that can include various combinations of tissue and paperboard products, which are generally distinct and accounted for as separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized at a point in time upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services. Transfer of control typically occurs when the title and risk of loss passes to the customer. Shipping terms generally indicate when title and the risk of loss have passed. Revenue is recognized at shipment for sales when shipping terms are free on board, or FOB, shipping point. For sales where shipping terms are FOB destination, revenue is recognized when the goods are received by the customer. Revenue from both domestic and foreign sales of our products can involve shipping terms of either FOB shipping point or FOB destination or other shipping terms, depending upon the sales agreement with the customer. We have elected to treat shipping and handling costs for FOB shipping point contracts as a fulfillment cost, not as a separate performance obligation. No revenue is recognized over time. We typically expense incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract (sales commissions) when incurred because the amortization period is generally 12 months or less. We have also elected to use the practical expedient to not disclose unsatisfied or partially satisfied performance obligations as we have no unsatisfied contracts where the remaining portions are expected to be satisfied in a period greater than one year. We provide for trade promotions, customer cash discounts, customer returns and other deductions as reductions to net sales, which are accounted for as variable consideration when estimating the amount of revenue to recognize . Returns and credits are estimated at contract inception and updated at the end of each reporting period as additional information becomes available. Revenue net of returns and credits 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 to determine the most probable amount of variable consideration to apply as a reduction to net sales. Revenue is recognized net of any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract. Terms generally include a requirement of payment within 30 days, and do not include a significant financing component. Trade accounts receivable are reported within Receivables, net, and are stated at the amount we expect to collect. Trade accounts receivable were $156.3 million and $142.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Trade accounts receivable do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the losses we expect will result from the inability of our customers to make required payments. We generally determine the allowance based on a combination of actual historical write-off experience and an analysis of specific customer accounts. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , we had allowances for doubtful accounts of $1.4 million and $1.5 million , respectively. Refer to Note 14, "Segment Information," for further information, including the disaggregation of revenue by segment, primary geographical market, and major product type.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, including any interest costs capitalized, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of buildings, equipment and other depreciable assets is determined using the straight-line method. Assets we acquire through business combinations have estimated lives that are typically shorter than the assets we construct or buy new. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , we capitalized $ 4.9 million of interest expense associated with the construction of a paper machine at our Shelby, North Carolina consumer products facility and $ 0.8 million of interest expense associated with the construction of a continuous pulp digester at our Lewiston, Idaho pulp and paperboard facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we capitalized $5.1 million of interest expense associated with the Shelby paper machine and $0.9 million of interest expense associated with the continuous pulp digester project. We review the carrying amount of long-lived assets with definite lives that are held-for-use and evaluate them for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that we may be unable to recover the carrying amount of the assets.
DERIVATIVES	DERIVATIVES We had no activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 that required hedge or derivative accounting treatment. To help mitigate our exposure to market risk for changes in utility commodity pricing, we use firm price contracts to supply a portion of the natural gas requirements for our manufacturing facilities, which were reported through "Cost of sales" on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2019 , these contracts covered approximately 47% of our expected average monthly natural gas requirements for the remainder of 2019 , and a lesser amount for 2020. These contracts qualify for treatment as “normal purchases or normal sales” under authoritative guidance and thus required no mark-to-market adjustment.
