Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Description of Business Veritiv Corporation ("Veritiv" or the "Company") is a North American business-to-business distributor of print, publishing, packaging, facility and logistics solutions. Established in 2014 following the merger of International Paper Company’s ("International Paper" or "Parent") xpedx division ("xpedx") and UWW Holdings, Inc. ("UWWH"), the parent company of Unisource Worldwide, Inc. ("Unisource"), the Company operates from more than 180 distribution centers primarily throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico. On July 1, 2014 (the "Distribution Date"), International Paper completed the previously announced spin-off of xpedx to its shareholders (the "Spin-off"), forming a new public company called Veritiv. Immediately following the Spin-off, UWWH merged with and into Veritiv (the "Merger"). Veritiv’s common stock began regular-way trading on the New York Stock Exchange on July 2, 2014 under the ticker symbol VRTV. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of annual audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Prior to the Distribution Date, Veritiv’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of only the xpedx business of International Paper and were derived from International Paper’s historical accounting records. The financial results of xpedx have been presented on a carve-out basis through the Distribution Date, while the financial results for Veritiv, post Spin-off, are prepared on a stand-alone basis. As such, the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consist of the consolidated results of Veritiv on a stand-alone basis for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and the combined results of operations of xpedx for the six months ended June 30, 2014 on a carve-out basis. All significant intercompany transactions between Veritiv's businesses have been eliminated. All significant intercompany transactions between xpedx and International Paper have been included for the periods prior to the Spin-off and were considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction was recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a financing activity. For periods prior to the Spin-off, the combined financial statements include expense allocations for certain functions previously provided by International Paper, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, insurance and stock-based compensation. See Note 7, Related Party Transactions, for further information. Following the Spin-off, certain corporate and other related functions described above continue to be provided by International Paper under a transition services agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company recognized $8.0 million in selling and administrative expenses related to this agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recognized $0.8 million and $9.6 million , respectively, in selling and administrative expenses related to this agreement. As of September 30, 2015, a majority of the functions originally provided by International Paper under this agreement have been fully transitioned to the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , certain amounts in the operating activities section of the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification did not have any impact on net cash flows from operations or the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 . Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and certain financial statement disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuation, employee benefit plans, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances and goodwill and other intangible asset valuations. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to exchange for those goods or services. Entities may use a full retrospective approach or report the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of this standard, and this pronouncement is now effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which stated that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in these updates. These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the second quarter of 2015 and ASU 2015-15 in the third quarter of 2015; neither had any impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Deferred financing fees related to the Company's asset-based lending facility (the "ABL Facility") remain classified within other non-current assets. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This ASU will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out method or retail inventory method. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its first-in, first-out based inventory, which is approximately 12% of the Company's inventory balance as of September 30, 2015 . |

Merger with Unisource | 2. MERGER WITH UNISOURCE On July 1, 2014, UWWH merged with and into Veritiv. The Merger was accounted for in the Company’s financial statements using the acquisition method of accounting, with Veritiv as the accounting acquirer of Unisource. The purchase price of $383.2 million was determined in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger and is allocated to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values. The following table summarizes the components of the purchase price for Unisource. The fair value of Veritiv shares issued represents the aggregate value of 7.84 million shares issued at the closing "when-issued" market price of the Company’s stock on June 30, 2014, the day prior to the Merger, less a discount for lack of marketability. See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, regarding the valuation of the contingent liability. Purchase price: (in millions) Fair value of Veritiv shares issued in the Merger $ 284.7 Cash payments associated with customary working capital and net indebtedness adjustments 39.1 Fair value of contingent liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement 59.4 Total purchase price $ 383.2 During the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded a $0.6 million increase to deferred income tax assets and a corresponding decrease to goodwill. This adjustment impacted the fair value of the contingent liability, resulting in a $0.6 million increase to the purchase price and corresponding adjustment to goodwill. The net impact of these adjustments to goodwill was zero . During the second quarter of 2015, the Company finalized the purchase price allocation, which resulted in a $0.3 million increase in deferred tax assets and a corresponding decrease in goodwill. These adjustments did not have a material impact on the Company's previously reported Consolidated Financial Statements and, therefore, the Company has not retrospectively adjusted those financial statements. The following table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the Merger: Final Allocation: (in millions) Cash $ 70.9 Accounts receivable 448.4 Inventories 353.8 Deferred income tax assets 72.0 Property and equipment 299.0 Goodwill 25.7 Other intangible assets 31.5 Other current and non-current assets (including below market leasehold agreements) 61.8 Accounts payable (284.2 ) Long-term debt (including equipment capital leases) (313.2 ) Financing obligations to related party (233.1 ) Defined benefit pension obligations (30.3 ) Other current and non-current liabilities (including above market leasehold agreements) (119.1 ) Total purchase price $ 383.2 The purchase price allocated to the identifiable intangible assets acquired is as follows: Value (in millions) Estimated Weighted Average Useful Life ( in years) Customer relationships $ 24.3 14.8 Trademarks/Trade names 4.1 3.6 Non-compete agreements 3.1 1.0 Total identifiable intangible assets acquired $ 31.5 Goodwill of $25.7 million arising from the Merger consists largely of the synergies and other benefits expected from combining the operations. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. |

Merger, Integration and Restructuring Charges | 3. MERGER, INTEGRATION AND RESTRUCTURING CHARGES Merger and Integration Charges During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 , Veritiv incurred merger and integration expenses related primarily to third-party fees and costs associated with change-in-control agreements. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , Veritiv incurred costs to integrate the combined businesses of xpedx and Unisource. Integration expenses include professional services and project management fees, retention compensation, information technology conversion costs, rebranding costs and other costs to integrate the combined businesses of xpedx and Unisource. The following table summarizes the components of merger and integration expenses: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Legal, consulting and other professional fees $ 1.4 $ 24.1 $ 6.8 $ 26.2 Retention compensation 2.3 27.9 8.9 27.9 Information technology conversion costs 2.1 1.0 6.4 1.0 Rebranding 1.7 0.1 4.2 0.1 Other 0.8 1.7 2.3 1.7 Total merger and integration expenses $ 8.3 $ 54.8 $ 28.6 $ 56.9 Veritiv Restructuring Plan As part of the Spin-off and Merger, the Company is executing on a multi-year restructuring program of its North American operations intended to integrate the legacy xpedx and Unisource operations, generate cost savings and capture synergies across the combined company. The restructuring plan includes initiatives to: (i) consolidate warehouse facilities in overlapping markets, (ii) improve the efficiency of the delivery network, (iii) consolidate customer service centers, (iv) reorganize the field sales and operations functions and (v) restructure the corporate general and administrative functions. During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company initiated the process of consolidating warehouse and customer service locations of the legacy organizations as well as realigning its field and sales management function. As part of its restructuring efforts, the Company is also evaluating its operations outside of North America to identify additional cost saving opportunities. The Company may elect to restructure its operations in specific countries, which may include staff reductions, lease terminations, and facility closures, or a complete exit of a market. The Company recorded restructuring charges of $3.0 million and $8.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , respectively, related to these company-wide initiatives. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, no major initiatives had commenced as part of this effort. See Note 14, Segment Information, for the impact these charges had on the Company's reportable segments. Other direct costs reported in the table below include facility closing costs and other incidental costs associated with the development, communication, administration and implementation of these initiatives. The following is a summary of the Company's restructuring activity for the periods presented: (in millions) Severance and Related Costs Other Direct Costs Asset Impairment Total Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 3.7 $ 0.2 $ — $ 3.9 Costs incurred 1.9 1.5 — 3.4 Payments (2.7 ) (0.4 ) — (3.1 ) Balance at March 31, 2015 2.9 1.3 — 4.2 Costs incurred 1.0 1.2 — 2.2 Payments (1.1 ) (0.7 ) — (1.8 ) Balance at June 30, 2015 2.8 1.8 — 4.6 Costs incurred 0.8 0.2 2.0 3.0 Payments (1.3 ) (1.1 ) — (2.4 ) Non-cash charges — — (2.0 ) (2.0 ) Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 2.3 $ 0.9 $ — $ 3.2 |

The ABL Facility may be prepaid at Veritiv's option at any time without premium or penalty and is subject to mandatory prepayment if the amount outstanding under the ABL Facility exceeds either the aggregate commitments with respect thereto or the current borrowing base, in both cases in an amount equal to such excess. The ABL Facility has a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 on a trailing four-quarter basis, which will be tested only when specified availability is less than the limits outlined under the ABL Facility. At September 30, 2015 , the above test was not applicable. Availability under the ABL Facility is determined based upon a monthly borrowing base calculation which includes eligible customer receivables and inventory, less outstanding borrowings, letters of credit and certain designated reserves. As of September 30, 2015 , the available additional borrowing capacity under the ABL Facility was approximately $448.3 million . |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivative Instrument, Hedging Activities and Risk Management | 5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENT, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND RISK MANAGEMENT Financial Risk Management Policy The Company’s indebtedness under its financing arrangement creates interest rate risk. The Company’s objective is to reduce, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in the interest rate. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. This interest rate exposure is actively monitored by management and in July 2015 the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement. The interest rate cap effectively limits the floating LIBOR-based portion of the interest rate. The effective date of the interest rate cap agreement was July 31, 2015 with an expiration date of July 1, 2019. The initial notional amount of this agreement covered $392.9 million of the Company’s floating-rate debt at 3.0% plus the applicable credit spread. The Company paid $2.0 million for the interest rate cap agreement. Approximately $0.6 million of the amount paid was expensed immediately to earnings. As of September 30, 2015 , the interest rate cap agreement had a fair value of $0.8 million , classified within other non-current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value is estimated using observable market-based inputs including interest rate curves and implied volatilities (Level 2). The Company designated the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge of exposure to changes in cash flows due to changes in the LIBOR-based portion of the interest rate above 3.0% on an equivalent amount of debt. The notional amount of the cap is reduced throughout the term of the agreement to align with the expected repayment of the Company’s outstanding floating-rate debt. The Company is exposed to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and, in the event of nonperformance, to market risk for changes in the interest rate. The Company attempts to manage exposure to counterparty credit risk primarily by selecting counterparties only if they meet certain credit and other financial standards. The Company believes there has been no material change in the creditworthiness of its counterparty and believes the risk of nonperformance by such party is minimal. Accounting for Derivative Instruments The interest rate cap agreement is subject to Accounting Standards Codification 815, Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Transactions . For those instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. A cash flow hedge refers to hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income until reclassified into earnings in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. The gain or loss on the ineffective portion, if any, is immediately recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion was not significant for the three months ended September 30, 2015 . For the three months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recognized a pre-tax loss of $0.6 million in other comprehensive income associated with the interest rate cap. There were no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") into earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2015 . The amount the Company expects to reclassify from AOCL into earnings within the following twelve months is not significant. |

Income Taxes | 6. INCOME TAXES The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, plus any discrete items. The following table presents the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ 23.4 $ (24.4 ) $ 32.1 $ (10.1 ) Income tax expense (benefit) 8.9 (10.4 ) 15.5 (4.6 ) Effective tax rate 38.0 % 42.6 % 48.3 % 45.5 % The difference between the Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the U.S. statutory tax rate of 35.0% primarily relates to the non-recognition of tax benefits on certain losses, non-deductible expenses, state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit), and adjustments to uncertain tax positions. Additionally, the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 includes the recognition of U.S. tax benefit with respect to foreign exchange loss on the capitalization of an intercompany loan with the Company's Canadian subsidiary. The effective tax rate may vary significantly due to potential changes in the amount and mix of pre-tax book income and changes in amounts of non-deductible expenses and other items. As of September 30, 2015 , the gross amount of uncertain tax positions was $0.5 million . All of the gross uncertain tax positions, if recognized, would impact Veritiv’s effective tax rate in the period of recognition. The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense, net. Penalties, if incurred, are recognized as a component of income tax expense. The corresponding liabilities are reflected in other non-current liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result of the expiration of statutes of limitation, the Company currently estimates that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could be reduced by up to $0.1 million during the next twelve months. Undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered permanently reinvested and, accordingly, no provision for U.S. income taxes has been provided thereon. |

Related Party Transactions | 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Transactions with Georgia-Pacific Veritiv purchases certain inventory items from, and sells certain inventory items to, Georgia-Pacific in the normal course of business. As a result of the Merger and private placement, Georgia-Pacific, as joint owner of the sole stockholder of UWWH, is a related party. The following tables summarize the financial impact of those related party transactions with Georgia-Pacific: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Sales to Georgia-Pacific, reflected in net sales $ 8.0 $ 9.2 $ 25.0 $ 9.2 Purchases of inventory from Georgia-Pacific, recognized in cost of products sold 67.0 62.7 205.0 62.7 (in millions) September 30, 2015 December 31, 2014 Inventories purchased from Georgia-Pacific that remained on Veritiv's balance sheet $ 24.3 $ 26.6 Related party payable to Georgia-Pacific 12.7 11.0 Related party receivable from Georgia-Pacific 4.0 3.9 Relationship between Veritiv and International Paper Transactions with International Paper Prior to the Spin-off, xpedx purchased certain inventory items from, and sold certain inventory items to, International Paper in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company sold products to International Paper in the amount of $24.3 million , reflected in net sales. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company purchased, and recognized in cost of products sold, inventory from International Paper of $276.5 million . After the Spin-off and the Merger, Veritiv continues to purchase from and sell certain inventory items to International Paper that are considered transactions in the normal course of the Company’s operations. Although the Company and International Paper have entered into a transition services agreement, International Paper is not considered a related party subsequent to the Spin-off. Parent Company Investment The components of net transfers to Parent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were as follows: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, (in millions) 2014 2014 Intercompany sales and purchases, net $ — $ 255.4 Cash pooling and general financing activities — (322.5 ) Corporate allocations including income taxes — 34.7 Net adjustments in conjunction with the Spin-off (50.2 ) (50.2 ) Total net transfers to International Paper $ (50.2 ) $ (82.6 ) In conjunction with the Spin-off, certain xpedx assets and liabilities were retained by International Paper. Additionally, all intercompany balances outstanding between International Paper and xpedx as of the Distribution Date were settled within 30 days of the Distribution Date. The net effect of assets and liabilities retained and adjustments to intercompany balances as of the Distribution Date are reflected in the table above in the net adjustments in conjunction with the Spin-off. These primarily include $24.3 million of net assets transferred to International Paper and settlement of intercompany balances of $24.6 million as of the Distribution Date. Allocation of General Corporate Expenses Prior to the Spin-off, the xpedx financial statements included expense allocations for certain functions previously provided by International Paper, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, insurance and stock-based compensation. These expenses were allocated on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder principally allocated on the basis of percent of capital employed, headcount, sales or other measures. In 2014, prior to the Spin-off, $25.5 million of expenses were allocated to xpedx and were included within selling and administrative expenses. Separation Agreements with Former Unisource CEO Effective as of the Distribution Date, Allan R. Dragone, Jr. ceased to be the Chief Executive Officer of Unisource and became a member of Veritiv’s Board of Directors. As part of his employment agreement, Mr. Dragone exercised his right to sell his personal residence to the Company. The Company completed the purchase of the residence for $4.6 million during the first quarter of 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, the Company sold the residence for $4.6 million . |

DEFINED BENEFIT PLANS In conjunction with the Merger, Veritiv assumed responsibility for Unisource’s defined benefit pension plans and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans in the U.S. and Canada. Net periodic benefit cost (credit) associated with these plans is summarized below: Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 (in millions) U.S. Canada U.S. Canada U.S. Canada Components of net periodic benefit cost (credit): Service cost $ 0.4 $ 0.1 $ 1.3 $ 0.2 $ 0.3 $ 0.1 Interest cost 0.8 0.7 2.5 2.4 0.9 0.9 Expected return on plan assets (1.4 ) (0.8 ) (4.1 ) (2.6 ) (1.6 ) (0.9 ) Net periodic benefit cost (credit) $ (0.2 ) $ 0.0 $ (0.3 ) $ 0.0 $ (0.4 ) $ 0.1 Certain of xpedx’s employees participated in defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans sponsored and accounted for by International Paper. In conjunction with the Spin-off, these plans were frozen for the xpedx employees, and International Paper retained the associated liabilities. Certain xpedx union employees were added as participants to the Unisource defined benefit pension plan. The amount of net pension and other post-employment benefit expense attributable to xpedx related to the International Paper sponsored plans was $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 . |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the carrying amounts of cash, receivables, payables and other components of other current assets and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to the short maturity of these items. Borrowings under the ABL Facility are at variable market interest rates, and accordingly, the carrying amount approximates fair value. See Note 5, Derivative Instrument, Hedging Activities and Risk Management, for fair value information on the interest rate cap agreement. At the time of the Merger, the Company recorded a $59.4 million contingent liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement at fair value using a discounted cash flow model that reflected management's expectations about probability of payment. Key assumptions utilized in the discounted cash flow model included a discount rate of 4.8% , projected revenues and projected taxable income. The Company’s discounted cash flow model used significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs that were tied to the utilization of Unisource’s net operating losses, attributable to taxable periods prior to the Merger, by the Company. The contingent liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting period with the change in fair value recognized in other expense (income), net in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. At September 30, 2015 , the Company remeasured the contingent liability using a discount rate of 5.4% . The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the contingent liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 : (in millions) Contingent Liability Balance at December 31, 2014 $ 60.5 Purchase accounting adjustment 0.6 Change in fair value adjustment recorded in other expense (income), net 1.3 Balance at March 31, 2015 62.4 Change in fair value adjustment recorded in other expense (income), net (1.7 ) Balance at June 30, 2015 60.7 Change in fair value adjustment recorded in other expense (income), net 0.3 Balance at September 30, 2015 $ 61.0 There have been no transfers between the fair value measurement levels for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 . The Company recognizes transfers between the fair value measurement levels at the end of the reporting period. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | 10. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share ("EPS") for Veritiv common stock is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued, except where the inclusion of such common shares would have an antidilutive impact. On the Distribution Date, Veritiv had 16.0 million shares of common stock issued and outstanding, including 7.84 million shares issued in a private placement to the sole stockholder of UWWH in connection with the Merger. The calculation of both basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2014 utilized 16.0 million shares as the private placement of 7.84 million shares to UWW Holdings, LLC, the sole stockholder of UWWH, occurred on the Distribution Date. The calculation of both basic and diluted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 utilized 10.77 million shares based on the weighted average shares outstanding during this period, reflecting the impact of the private placement of shares to the sole stockholder of UWWH on the Distribution Date. The calculation of both basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 utilized 16.0 million shares issued and outstanding based on the weighted average shares outstanding during this period. During 2015, the Company granted equity-based awards to certain of its employees. See Note 12, Equity-Based Incentive Plans, for additional information. These awards were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because their inclusion would have been antidilutive, or they were subject to performance conditions that had not been met. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the basic and diluted EPS calculation is as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2015 2014 2015 2014 Numerator: Income (loss) from continuing operations $ 14.5 $ (14.0 ) $ 16.6 $ (5.5 ) Loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes — — — (0.1 ) Net income (loss) $ 14.5 $ (14.0 ) $ 16.6 $ (5.6 ) Denominator: Weighted average number of shares outstanding – basic and diluted 16.00 16.00 16.00 10.77 Antidilutive stock-based awards excluded from computation of diluted EPS 0.06 — 0.06 — Performance stock-based awards excluded from computation of diluted EPS because performance conditions had not been met 0.24 — 0.24 — |

Equity-Based Incentive Plans | 12. EQUITY-BASED INCENTIVE PLANS Veritiv Omnibus Incentive Plan Veritiv's 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "2014 Plan") provides for the grant of options, stock appreciation rights, stock purchase rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents, deferred share units, performance shares, performance units and other equity-based awards. Awards may be granted under the 2014 Plan to any employee, director, consultant or other service provider of Veritiv or a subsidiary of Veritiv. Grants are made at the discretion of the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. On June 30, 2015, the Company granted 27,424 deferred share units ("DSUs") to its non-employee directors. Each DSU is the economical equivalent of one share of Veritiv's common stock. The DSUs are fully vested and non-forfeitable as of the grant date and are payable in cash following the individual's termination of service as a Veritiv director. At June 30, 2015, the Company recognized $1.0 million in expense related to these units based on a grant date fair value of $36.46 , the closing market price of the Company's common stock on June 30, 2015. The DSUs were classified as a non-current liability and will be remeasured at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to compensation expense. The adjustment for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was not significant. During 2015, the Company granted approximately 64,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs"), 161,000 performance condition stock units (“PCSUs”), and 97,000 market condition performance stock units (“MCPSUs”) to certain of its employees. These units will cliff vest at the end of three years and be settled in shares of common stock, subject to continued service and, in the case of the PCSUs and MCPSUs, the attainment of performance conditions. Dividends are not paid or accrued on unvested stock units. The grant date fair values are not reduced for dividends as none are expected to be paid during the vesting period. The weighted average grant date fair value of the RSUs granted in 2015 is $51.64 and is based on either the closing price of Veritiv common stock on the trading day immediately prior to the date of grant or the closing price on the date of grant. The RSUs are only subject to a service requirement, thus compensation expense for the RSUs is recognized ratably from the grant date to the vesting date. The PCSU award represents the contingent right to receive a number of shares equal to a portion, all or a multiple (not to exceed 200% ) of the target number of PCSUs. The PCSUs are divided into three tranches, and each tranche is earned based on the achievement of an annual Adjusted EBITDA target which is set at the beginning of each of the three years in the vesting period. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring charges (income), non-restructuring stock-based compensation expense, LIFO expense (income), non-restructuring severance charges, merger and integration expenses, loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, fair value adjustments on the contingent liability associated with the Tax Receivable Agreement ("TRA") and certain other adjustments. The PCSUs that can be earned in 2015 had a weighted average grant date fair value of $51.64 with compensation expense recognized ratably over the three year vesting period. The fair value of the 2016 and 2017 tranches will be based on the market value of Veritiv common stock on the date the Adjusted EBITDA targets are set for each year. Compensation expense for each tranche is recognized ratably from the date the fair value is determined to the vesting date for the number of awards expected to vest. The MCPSU award represents the contingent right to receive a number of shares equal to a portion, all or a multiple (not to exceed 200% ) of the target number of MCPSUs. The MCPSUs are divided into three tranches and each tranche is earned based on the achievement of an annual total shareholder return target relative to the total shareholder return of an applicable peer group over the one-, two- and three-year cumulative periods in the vesting period. The weighted average grant date fair value of the MCPSUs is $63.03 , determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Assumptions used in the model included a 25.0% expected volatility rate and a 1.1% risk-free interest rate. The expected volatility rate is based on the historical volatility of a group of peer companies over the most recent period equal to the vesting period, as Veritiv has limited trading history to use the volatility of its own common stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield on U.S. Treasury securities matching the vesting period. Compensation expense is recognized ratably from the grant date to the vesting date. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recognized $1.0 million and $3.0 million respectively, in expense related to these awards. As of September 30, 2015 , total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was $12.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. Unrecognized compensation expense for the 2016 and 2017 tranches of the PCSU awards is estimated based on the Company's closing stock price at September 30, 2015 . International Paper Incentive Plans At the time of the Spin-off, all equity awards held by employees of xpedx were granted under International Paper’s 2009 Incentive Compensation Plan or predecessor plans. In conjunction with the Spin-off and Merger, International Paper retained all rights and obligations of these incentive plans. xpedx's stock-based compensation expense and related income tax benefits associated with these International Paper plans were as follows: Nine Months Ended (in millions) 2014 Total stock-based compensation expense $ 4.3 Income tax benefit related to stock-based compensation $ 1.3 |

Commitments and Contingencies | 13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company is involved in various lawsuits, claims, and regulatory and administrative proceedings arising out of its business relating to general commercial and contractual matters, governmental regulations, intellectual property rights, labor and employment matters, tax and other actions. Although the ultimate outcome of any legal proceeding or investigation cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including the Company's assessment of the merits of the particular claim, the Company does not expect that any asserted or unasserted legal claims or proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its cash flow, results of operations or financial condition. Escheat Audit During 2013, Unisource was notified by the State of Delaware that it intended to examine the books and records of Unisource to determine compliance with Delaware escheat laws. Since that date, seven other states have joined with Delaware in the audit process which is conducted by an outside firm on behalf of the states and covers the period from 1986 to present. The Company has been informed that similar audits have generally taken two to four years to complete. The Company has determined that the ultimate outcome of this audit cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Any claims or liabilities resulting from these audits could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. |

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for a complete set of annual audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and Notes contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Prior to the Distribution Date, Veritiv’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows consisted of only the xpedx business of International Paper and were derived from International Paper’s historical accounting records. The financial results of xpedx have been presented on a carve-out basis through the Distribution Date, while the financial results for Veritiv, post Spin-off, are prepared on a stand-alone basis. As such, the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 consist of the consolidated results of Veritiv on a stand-alone basis for the three months ended September 30, 2014, and the combined results of operations of xpedx for the six months ended June 30, 2014 on a carve-out basis. All significant intercompany transactions between Veritiv's businesses have been eliminated. All significant intercompany transactions between xpedx and International Paper have been included for the periods prior to the Spin-off and were considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transaction was recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these intercompany transactions is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as a financing activity. For periods prior to the Spin-off, the combined financial statements include expense allocations for certain functions previously provided by International Paper, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to finance, legal, information technology, human resources, communications, insurance and stock-based compensation. See Note 7, Related Party Transactions, for further information. Following the Spin-off, certain corporate and other related functions described above continue to be provided by International Paper under a transition services agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 , the Company recognized $8.0 million in selling and administrative expenses related to this agreement. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 , the Company recognized $0.8 million and $9.6 million , respectively, in selling and administrative expenses related to this agreement. As of September 30, 2015, a majority of the functions originally provided by International Paper under this agreement have been fully transitioned to the Company. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 , certain amounts in the operating activities section of the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Cash Flows have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the current year presentation. This reclassification did not have any impact on net cash flows from operations or the Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 . |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of unaudited financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and certain financial statement disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to, revenue recognition, accounts receivable valuation, inventory valuation, employee benefit plans, income tax contingency accruals and valuation allowances and goodwill and other intangible asset valuations. Although these estimates are based on management's knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates and assumptions. Estimates are revised as additional information becomes available. |
Recently Issued Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which requires companies to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to exchange for those goods or services. Entities may use a full retrospective approach or report the cumulative effect as of the date of adoption. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of this standard, and this pronouncement is now effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which stated that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected by the amendments in these updates. These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and are to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 during the second quarter of 2015 and ASU 2015-15 in the third quarter of 2015; neither had any impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures. Deferred financing fees related to the Company's asset-based lending facility (the "ABL Facility") remain classified within other non-current assets. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory , which requires companies to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. This ASU will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out method or retail inventory method. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied prospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its first-in, first-out based inventory, which is approximately 12% of the Company's inventory balance as of September 30, 2015 . |
