Basis Of Presentation And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Background Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (“Berry” or the “Company”) is a leading provider of value-added plastic consumer packaging and engineered materials with a track record of delivering high-quality customized solutions to our customers. Representative examples of our products include specialty closures, prescription vials, specialty films, adhesives, corrosion protection materials, and nonwovens, as well as drink cups, thin-wall containers, and bottles. We sell our products predominantly into stable, consumer-oriented end-markets, such as healthcare, personal care, and food and beverage. Basis of Presentation Periods presented in these financial statements include fiscal periods ending September 26, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”), September 27, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”), and September 28, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”). Berry, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries operates in three primary segments: Consumer Packaging, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Engineered Materials. The Company’s customers are located principally throughout the United States, without significant concentration with any one customer. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company’s fiscal year is based on fifty two week periods. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. In November 2015, the Company reorganized into three operating segments: Consumer Packaging, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Engineered Materials. The Consumer Packaging segment consists of our historical Rigid Open Top and Rigid Closed Top segments, the food and consumer films business that was historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment, and the custom shrink films business that was historically reported in our Engineered Materials segment. The Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment includes the recently acquired Avintiv business, as well as the personal care films and international businesses that were historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment. The Engineered Materials segment includes the historical Engineered Materials segment excluding the custom shrink films business, and the converter films business that was historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of consolidated subsidiaries is less than 100% the non-controlling interests are reflected in Non-controlling interest and Redeemable non-controlling interests. Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in gross sales to arrive at net sales. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition standards of the Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”), the Company provides for these items as reductions of revenue at the later of the date of the sale or the date the incentive is offered. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. Shipping, handling, purchasing, receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and other costs of distribution are presented in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies amounts charged to its customers for shipping and handling in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Purchases of Raw Materials and Concentration of Risk The largest supplier of the Company’s total resin material requirements represented approximately 21% of purchases in fiscal 2015. The Company uses a variety of suppliers to meet its resin requirements. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed when incurred. The Company incurred research and development expenditures of $33 million, $32 million, and $28 million in fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Stock-Based Compensation The compensation guidance of the FASB requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements based on alternative fair value models. The share-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company’s share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 12. The Company recorded total stock compensation expense of $21 million, $15 million, and $16 million for fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In August 2013, the Company recorded an $8 million stock compensation charge related to certain modifications to prior Berry Plastics Incentive Plans, and amended outstanding non-qualified stock option agreements to reflect such modifications. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock options. The model allows for the use of a range of assumptions. Expected volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model are based on implied volatilities from traded stocks of peer companies. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and the estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company’s options have a ten year contractual life. For purposes of the valuation model in fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company used the simplified method for determining the granted options expected lives. The fair value for options granted has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model, with the following weighted average assumptions: Fiscal year 2015 2014 2013 Risk-free interest rate 1.6 % 1.3 % 0.6 % Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Volatility factor .30 .33 .38 Expected option life 7 years 7 years 7 years Foreign Currency For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity (deficit). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company’s accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts are analyzed in detail on a quarterly basis and all significant customers with delinquent balances are reviewed to determine future collectability. The determinations are based on legal issues (such as bankruptcy status), past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and the experience of the credit representatives. Reserves are established in the quarter in which the Company makes the determination that the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company maintains additional reserves based on its historical bad debt experience. The following table summarizes the activity for fiscal years ended for the allowance for doubtful accounts: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2013 ​ Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ Bad debt expense ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ Write-offs against allowance ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts is charged to cost of goods sold when purchased. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Our inventory reserves were $20 million and $19 million as of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. Inventory as of fiscal 2015 and 2014 was: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ Inventories: ​ ​ ​ Finished goods ​ ​ ​ $ 309 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 353 ​ ​ Raw materials ​ ​ ​ ​ 213 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 251 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 522 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 604 ​ ​ ​ Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 25 years for buildings and improvements, 2 to 10 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling and over the term of the agreement for capital leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company capitalized interest of $6 million, $6 million, and $5 million in fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Property, plant and equipment as of fiscal 2015 and 2014 was: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ Property, plant and equipment: ​ ​ ​ Land, buildings and improvements ​ ​ ​ $ 367 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 363 ​ ​ Equipment and construction in progress ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,618 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,509 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,985 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,872 ​ ​ Less accumulated depreciation ​ ​ ​ ​ (1,691 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1,508 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,294 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,364 ​ ​ ​ Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, plant and equipment standard of the ASC whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset’s carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows or appraisals as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are reported at the lower of the assets’ carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the assets’ disposition. We recorded impairment charges totaling $2 million, $7 million, and $5 million to write-down long-lived assets to their net realizable valuables during fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013 respectively. Goodwill The Company follows the principles provided by the Goodwill and Other Intangibles standard of the ASC. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested annually for impairment. The Company performs their annual impairment assessment on the first day of the fourth quarter in each respective fiscal year. The Company has recognized cumulative charges for goodwill impairment of $165 million which occurred in fiscal 2011. For purposes of conducting our annual goodwill impairment test prior to the November 2015 realignment, the Company determined that we had six reporting units, Open Top, Rigid Closed Top, Engineered Films, Flexible Packaging, International and Tapes. We determined that each of the components within our respective reporting units should be aggregated. We reached this conclusion because within each of our reporting units, we have similar products, management oversight, production processes and markets served which allow us to share assets and resources across the product lines. We regularly re-align our production equipment and manufacturing facilities in order to take advantage of cost savings opportunities, obtain synergies and create manufacturing efficiencies. In addition, we utilize our research and development centers, design center, tool shops, and graphics center which all provide benefits to each of the reporting units and work on new products that can benefit multiple product lines. We also believe that the goodwill is recoverable from the overall operations of the unit given the similarity in production processes, synergies from leveraging the combined resources, common raw materials, common research and development, similar margins and similar distribution methodologies. In fiscal year 2015, the Company applied the qualitative assessment and determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount of each of their reporting units. The Company reached this conclusion based on the increased valuations within the packaging industry and projected future operating results and an increase in the Company’s common stock price, market capitalization and total enterprise value. In fiscal 2014, the Company applied the qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount, and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying except for the Rigid Open Top reporting unit due to the decline in that units operating income. The Company completed step 1 in Fiscal 2014 of the impairment test which indicated no impairment existed for Rigid Open Top. In fiscal 2013, the Company applied the qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount and determined that no impairment was indicated and therefore did not perform a two-step impairment test. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows: ​ ​ ​ Consumer ​ ​ Health, ​ ​ Engineered ​ ​ Total ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,524 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 27 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 83 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,634 ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (4 ) ​ ​ Acquisitions (realignment), net ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 22 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 29 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,524 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 49 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 86 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,659 ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (5 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (9 ) ​ ​ Acquisitions, net ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,520 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 48 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 84 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,652 ​ ​ ​ Deferred Financing Fees Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements. Pursuant to ASC 835-30 the Company presents $5 million of its debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. In addition, the remaining $4 million of deferred charges, which relate to the Company’s revolving line of credit, are presented in Goodwill, intangible assets and deferred costs, net. Intangible Assets Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 11 to 20 years. Trademarks that are expected to remain in use, which are indefinite lived intangible assets, are required to be reviewed for impairment annually. Technology intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the technology which is 11 years. License intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the license which is 10 years. Patent intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the technology or the patent expiration date ranging from 10 to 20 years, with a weighted-average life of 15 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived trade names and noted no impairment. ​ ​ ​ Customer ​ ​ Trademarks ​ ​ Other ​ ​ Accumulated ​ ​ Total ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,134 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 283 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 107 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (668 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 856 ​ ​ Adjustment for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ Amortization expense ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (102 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (102 ) ​ ​ Acquisition intangibles ​ ​ ​ ​ 38 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 43 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,167 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 282 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 109 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (766 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 792 ​ ​ Adjustment for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (6 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (6 ) ​ ​ Amortization expense ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (91 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (91 ) ​ ​ Acquisition intangibles ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,159 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 281 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 106 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (853 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 693 ​ ​ ​ Insurable Liabilities The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers’ compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated based upon historical claims experience. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the U.S. Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive losses include net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability. The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (amounts below are net of taxes): ​ ​ ​ Currency ​ ​ Defined Benefit ​ ​ Interest ​ ​ Accumulated ​ Balance as of fiscal 2012 ​ ​ ​ $ (15 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (29 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (47 ) ​ ​ Other comprehensive income (loss) ​ ​ ​ ​ (5 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 34 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 20 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 49 ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (13 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (20 ) ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ (20 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (8 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 10 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (18 ) ​ ​ Other comprehensive loss ​ ​ ​ ​ (16 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (11 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (30 ) ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ (36 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (15 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (43 ) ​ ​ Other comprehensive loss ​ ​ ​ ​ (45 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (16 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (33 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (94 ) ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 18 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ (81 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (25 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (13 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (119 ) ​ ​ ​ Accrued Rebates The Company offers various rebates to customers based on purchases. These rebate programs are individually negotiated with customers and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. Certain rebates are calculated as flat percentages of purchases, while others included tiered volume incentives. These rebates may be payable monthly, quarterly, or annually. The calculation of the accrued rebate balance involves significant management estimates, especially where the terms of the rebate involve tiered volume levels that require estimates of expected annual sales. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. The accrual for customer rebates was $53 million and $50 million at the end of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively and is included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Pension Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. Periodically, the Company evaluates the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets in its defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans. In evaluating these assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of the discount rates, expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers. Net Income Per Share The Company calculates basic net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11: Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2013-11”). An entity is required to present unrecognized tax benefits as a decrease in a net operating loss, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The determination of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and the deferred tax asset that exists at the reporting date and presumes disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The guidance will eliminate the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits but will not alter the way in which entities assess deferred tax assets for realizability. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued a final standard on revenue recognition. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to do so, an entity would follow the five-step process for in-scope transactions: 1) identify the contract with a customer, 2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For public entities, the provisions of the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Early adoption for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. There are areas within the standard that are currently under review and reconsideration by the FASB, which could lead to future updates to the standard. As the outcomes of this process could lead to changes to the standard, we are still in the process of determining our approach to the adoption of this new standard, and the anticipated impact to the consolidated financial statements. Classification of Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance. The effects of the adoption for fiscal years ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, were a $5 million and $16 million, respectively, reduction of Goodwill, intangible assets, and deferred costs, net and Long-term debt, less current portion on the consolidated balance sheets by amounts classified as deferred costs. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory Business Combinations In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Simplifying the accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]
Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements	4. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements As part of the overall risk management, the Company uses derivative instruments to reduce exposure to changes in interest rates attributed to the Company's floating-rate borrowings. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, as determined by FASB guidance, changes in fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements, and did not identify any hedge ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in the current period. Cash Flow Hedging Strategy For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The categorization of the framework used to price these derivative instruments is considered a Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. In February 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to protect $ 1 1.00 2.355 May 2016 May 2019 16 In March 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $ 1 1.00 2.59 February 2016 February 2019 In September 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to protect $ 1 1.00 1.7185 December 2015 June 2019 Liability Derivatives Balance Sheet Location 2015 2014 Interest rate swaps Other long-term liabilities $ 36 $ 3 The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures section of the ASC defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. This section also establishes a three-level hierarchy (Level 1, 2, or 3) for fair value measurements based upon the observability of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. This section also requires the consideration of the counterparty's or the Company's nonperformance risk when assessing fair value. The Company's interest rate swap fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available. The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt, interest rate swap agreements and capital lease obligations. The book value of our long-term indebtedness exceeded fair value by $ 55 86 Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under the circumstances and events described in Note 1 and Note 10. The assets are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value (see Note 1 and 10 for additional discussion). These assets include primarily our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our property plant and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year, and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company determined Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets were not impaired in our annual fiscal 2014 assessment and no impairment indicators existed in the current quarter. Included in the following tables are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement for the fiscal years then ended. As of the end of fiscal 2015 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Impairment Indefinite-lived trademarks $ — $ — $ 207 $ 207 $ — Goodwill — — 1,652 1,652 — Definite lived intangible assets — — 486 486 — Property, plant, and equipment — — 1,294 1,294 2 Total $ — $ — $ 3,639 $ 3,639 $ 2 As of the end of fiscal 2014 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Impairment Indefinite-lived trademarks $ — $ — $ 207 $ 207 $ — Goodwill — — 1,659 1,659 — Definite lived intangible assets — — 585 585 — Property, plant, and equipment — — 1,364 1,364 7 Total $ — $ — $ 3,815 $ 3,815 $ 7 As of the end of fiscal 2013 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Impairment Indefinite-lived trademarks $ — $ — $ 207 $ 207 $ — Goodwill — — 1,634 1,634 — Definite lived intangible assets — — 649 649 5 Property, plant, and equipment — — 1,266 1,266 — Total $ — $ — $ 3,756 $ 3,756 $ 5 Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets ASC Topic 350 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually. The Company conducts the impairment test on the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period. When assessing its goodwill for impairment, the Company utilizes a comparable company market approach in combination with a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of their reporting units and corroborate the fair values. The Company utilizes a relief from royalty method to value their indefinite lived trademarks and uses the forecasts that are consistent with those used in the reporting unit analysis. The Company's reporting units are more fully discussed in Note 1. In fiscal 2015, fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 the Company determined no impairment existed. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on the indefinite lived intangible assets in any of the years presented. Valuation of Property, Plant and Equipment and Definite Lived Intangible Assets The Company periodically realigns their manufacturing operations which results in facilities being closed and shut down and equipment transferred to other facilities or equipment being scrapped or sold. The Company utilizes appraised values to corroborate the fair value of the facilities and has utilized a scrap value based on prior facility shut downs to estimate the fair value of the equipment, which has approximated the actual value that was received. When impairment indicators exist, the Company will also perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis to determine the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets. The Company incurred an impairment charges of $2 million and $7 million related to property, plant and equipment in fiscal years 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company did not incur an impairment charge related to property, plant and equipment in fiscal 2013. The Company did not incur an impairment charge on definite lived intangible assets in fiscal 2015 or 2014. The Company did recognize an impairment charge of $5 million on definite lived intangible assets related to the decision to exit certain businesses during fiscal 2013.

Lease And Other Commitments And Contingencies [Abstract]
Lease And Other Commitments And Contingencies	6. Lease and Other Commitments and Contingencies The Company leases certain property, plant and equipment under long-term lease agreements. Property, plant, and equipment under capital leases are reflected on the Company’s balance sheet as owned. The Company entered into new capital lease obligations totaling $29 million, $45 million, and $49 million during fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively, with various lease expiration dates through 2025. The Company records amortization of capital leases in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Income. Assets under operating leases are not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. Operating leases expire at various dates in the future with certain leases containing renewal options. The Company had minimum lease payments or contingent rentals of $24 million and $24 million and asset retirement obligations of $8 million and $7 million as of fiscal 2015 and 2014, respectively. Total rental expense from operating leases was $53 million, $54 million, and $53 million in fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Future minimum lease payments for capital leases and non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms in excess of one year as of fiscal year end 2015 are as follows: ​ ​ ​ Capital Leases ​ ​ Operating Leases ​ 2016 ​ ​ ​ $ 28 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 50 ​ ​ 2017 ​ ​ ​ ​ 25 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 46 ​ ​ 2018 ​ ​ ​ ​ 23 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 39 ​ ​ 2019 ​ ​ ​ ​ 21 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 34 ​ ​ 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ 21 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 28 ​ ​ Thereafter ​ ​ ​ ​ 24 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 137 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 142 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 334 ​ ​ Less: amount representing interest ​ ​ ​ ​ (16 ) ​ ​ ​ Present value of net minimum lease payments ​ ​ ​ $ 126 ​ ​ ​ ​ The Company has entered into a series of sale-leaseback transactions, pursuant to which it sold certain facilities and is leasing these facilities back. The Company has a total deferred gain on these sale-leaseback transactions of $28 million and is amortizing this over the respective lease of the facility. Litigation In July 2012, Berry Plastics Corporation (“BPC”) was sued by a customer for breach of contract, breach of express warranty, and breach of implied warranties. The customer alleged that in December 2007 and January 2008 BPC supplied the customer with defective woven polypropylene fabric used to manufacture containers that it then sold to its customers. In November 2015, a jury rendered a judgment in favor of the customer which is immaterial to the Company. The Company intends to appeal the judgment and file certain post-trial motions. While we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, management expects any final judgment against BPC to be covered by insurance maintained by the Company. The Company is party to various legal proceedings in addition to the above involving routine claims which are incidental to its business. Although the Company’s legal and financial liability with respect to such proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty, the Company believes that any ultimate liability would not be material to its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has various purchase commitments for raw materials, supplies and property and equipment incidental to the ordinary conduct of business. Collective Bargaining Agreements At the end of fiscal 2015, we employed approximately 16,000 employees, and approximately 12% of those employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. There are four agreements, representing approximately 56% of union employees, due for renegotiation in fiscal 2016. The remaining agreements expire after fiscal 2016. Our relations with employees under collective bargaining agreements remain satisfactory and there have been no significant work stoppages or other labor disputes during the past three years.

Significant components of income tax expense for the fiscal years ended are as follows: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2013 ​ Current: ​ ​ ​ ​ United States ​ ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ ​ ​ $  — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ $  — ​ ​ State ​ ​ ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ Non-U.S. ​ ​ ​ ​ 7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ Current income tax provision ​ ​ ​ ​ 10 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6 ​ ​ Deferred: ​ ​ ​ ​ United States ​ ​ ​ ​ Federal ​ ​ ​ ​ 31 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 26 ​ ​ State ​ ​ ​ ​ (4 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (5 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ Non-U.S. ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ Deferred income tax expense (benefit) ​ ​ ​ ​ 26 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (4 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 22 ​ ​ Expense for income taxes ​ ​ ​ $ 36 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 28 ​ ​ ​ The reconciliation between U.S. Federal income taxes at the statutory rate and the Company’s benefit for income taxes on continuing operations for fiscal year end is follows: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2013 U.S. Federal income tax expense at the statutory rate ​ ​ ​ $ 43 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 23 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 29 Adjustments to reconcile to the income tax provision: ​ ​ ​ ​ U.S. State income tax expense ​ ​ ​ ​ 7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) Changes in state valuation allowance ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — Research and development credits ​ ​ ​ ​ (5 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (20 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — Permanent differences ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — Changes in foreign valuation allowance ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 Rate differences between U.S. and foreign ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) APB 23 ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — Other ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 Expense for income taxes ​ ​ ​ $ 36 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 28 ​ Deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting and tax purposes.

As of fiscal year end 2015, the Company had state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $684 million and $52 million, respectively, which will be available to offset future taxable income. If not used, the federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire in future years beginning 2025 through 2031. AMT credit carryforwards totaling $9 million are available to the Company indefinitely to reduce future years’ federal income taxes. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire in future years beginning in 2015 through 2033. The Company has $22 million and $7 million of federal and state Research and Development tax credits, respectively, that will expire in future years beginning 2027 through 2034. In addition, the Company has $4 million of other state tax credits that will expire in future years beginning in 2016 through 2020. In connection with the initial public offering, the Company entered into an income tax receivable agreement that provides for the payment to pre-initial public offering stockholders, option holders and holders of our stock appreciation rights, 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, foreign, state and local income tax that are actually realized (or are deemed to be realized in the case of a change of control) as a result of the utilization of our and our subsidiaries’ net operating losses attributable to periods prior to the initial public offering. Based on the Company's assumptions using various items, including valuation analysis and current tax law, the Company recorded an obligation of $313 million which was recognized as a reduction of Paid-in capital on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company made payments of $39 million, $32 million, and $5 million in fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The balance at the end of fiscal 2015 was $232 million, and the Company made its fiscal year 2016 payment of $57 million in October 2015. The Company believes that it will not generate sufficient future taxable income to realize the tax benefits in certain foreign jurisdictions related to the deferred tax assets. The Company also has certain state net operating losses that may expire before they are fully utilized. Therefore, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against certain of its foreign deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance against certain of its state deferred tax assets included within the deferred tax assets. Prior changes in ownership have created limitations under Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code on annual usage of net operating loss carryforwards. However, all of the Company’s Federal net operating loss carryforwards should be available for use within the next five years. As part of the effective tax rate calculation, if we determine that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, we will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company has not provided a valuation allowance on its federal net operating loss carryforwards in the U.S. because it has cumulative income, federal taxable income and has also determined that future reversals of its temporary taxable differences will occur in the same periods and are of the same nature as the temporary differences giving rise to the deferred tax assets. Our valuation allowance against deferred tax assets was $29 million and $56 million as of fiscal year end 2015 and 2014, respectively, related to the foreign and U.S. state operations. The Company paid cash taxes of $9 million, $7 million, and $3 million in fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. Uncertain Tax Positions We adopted the provisions of the Income Taxes standard of the Codification. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with guidance provided by FASB and prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination. Our policy to include interest and penalties related to gross unrecognized tax benefits within our provision for income taxes did not change. The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal year end: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 Beginning unrecognized tax benefits ​ ​ ​ $ 14 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 14 Gross increases – tax positions in prior periods ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 Gross increases – current period tax positions ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 Settlements ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) Lapse of statute of limitations ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) Ending unrecognized tax benefits ​ ​ ​ $ 13 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 14 ​ The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rate was $7 million and $8 million for fiscal year end 2015 and 2014. As of fiscal year end 2015, we had $2 million accrued for payment of interest and penalties related to our uncertain tax positions. Our penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense. We and our subsidiaries are routinely examined by various taxing authorities. Although we file U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign tax returns, our major tax jurisdiction is the U.S. The IRS has completed an examination of our 2003, 2010 and 2011 tax years. Our 2004 – 2009, 2012 and 2013 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS. There are various other on-going audits in various other jurisdictions that are not material to our financial statements. As of the end of fiscal 2015, we had unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries that are permanently reinvested for continued use in foreign operations, accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal or state income taxes has been provided thereon. If distributed, those earnings would result in additional income tax expense at approximately the U.S. statutory rate. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability is not practicable due to the complexities associated with its hypothetical calculation.

Retirement Plan [Abstract]
Retirement Plan	9. Retirement Plan The Company maintains four defined benefit pension plans which cover certain manufacturing facilities. The Company also maintains a retiree health plan, which covers certain healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees and their spouses. Each of the four defined benefit plans and the retiree health plan are frozen plans. The Company uses fiscal year end as a measurement date for the retirement plans. The Company sponsors two defined contribution 401(k) retirement plans covering substantially all employees. Contributions are based upon a fixed dollar amount for employees who participate and percentages of employee contributions at specified thresholds. Contribution expense for these plans was $7 million, $8 million, and $7 million for fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. The projected benefit obligations of the Company’s plans presented herein are equal to the accumulated benefit obligations of such plans. The tables below exclude the obligations related to the foreign plans, which carry immaterial balances. The net amount of liability recognized is included in Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ ​ ​ Defined Benefit Pension Plans ​ ​ Retiree Health Plan ​ ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ Change in Projected Benefit Obligations (PBO) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ PBO at beginning of period ​ ​ ​ $ 192 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 178 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2 ​ ​ Service cost ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Interest cost ​ ​ ​ ​ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Actuarial loss (gain) ​ ​ ​ ​ 11 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Benefit settlements ​ ​ ​ ​ (9 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Benefits paid ​ ​ ​ ​ (10 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (9 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ PBO at end of period ​ ​ ​ $ 193 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 192 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 2 ​ ​ Change in Fair Value of Plan Assets ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Plan assets at beginning of period ​ ​ ​ $ 154 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 141 ​ ​ ​ ​ $  — ​ ​ ​ ​ $  — ​ ​ Actual return on plan assets ​ ​ ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Company contributions ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Benefit settlements ​ ​ ​ ​ (9 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Benefits paid ​ ​ ​ ​ (10 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (9 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Plan assets at end of period ​ ​ ​ ​ 142 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 154 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Net amount recognized ​ ​ ​ $ (51 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (38 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ At the end of fiscal 2015 the Company had $45 million of net unrealized losses recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects $2 million to be realized in fiscal 2016, and the remaining to be recognized over the next 13 fiscal years. The following table presents significant weighted-average assumptions used to determine benefit obligation and benefit cost for the fiscal years ended: ​ ​ ​ Defined Benefit Pension Plans ​ ​ Retiree Health Plan ​ ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ (Percents) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Weighted-average assumptions: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Discount rate for benefit obligation ​ ​ ​ ​ 4.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.9 ​ ​ Discount rate for net benefit cost ​ ​ ​ ​ 4.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4.5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2.9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3.1 ​ ​ Expected return on plan assets for net benefit costs ​ ​ ​ ​ 7.25 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 8.0 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ N/A ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ N/A In evaluating the expected return on plan assets, Berry considered its historical assumptions compared with actual results, an analysis of current market conditions, asset allocations, and the views of advisors. The return on plan assets is derived from target allocations and historical yield by asset type. Health-care-cost trend rates were assumed to increase at an annual rate of 7.0%. A one-percentage-point change in these assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a material impact on our postretirement benefit obligation. In accordance with the guidance from the FASB for employers’ disclosure about postretirement benefit plan assets the table below discloses fair values of each pension plan asset category and level within the fair value hierarchy in which it falls. There were no material changes or transfers between level 3 assets and the other levels.

Restructuring And Impairment Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring And Impairment Charges	10. Restructuring and Impairment Charges The Company has announced various restructuring plans in the last three fiscal years which included shutting down facilities in all four of the Company’s operating segments. In all instances, the majority of the operations from rationalized facilities was transferred to other facilities within the respective division. During fiscal 2013, the Company made the decision to exit certain operations in the Engineered Materials division. This decision resulted in a non-cash impairment charges of $6 million related to certain intangible assets deemed to have no further value recorded in Restructuring and impairment charges on the Consolidated Statement of Income. The exited businesses were immaterial to the Company and the Engineered Materials segment. During fiscal 2014, the Company initiated a cost reduction plan designed to deliver meaningful cost savings and improved equipment utilization. The Company announced the intention to shut down four facilities, three in the Consumer Packaging division, and one in the Engineered Materials division. The affected Consumer Packaging and Engineered Materials businesses accounted for approximately $153 million and $9 million of annual net sales, respectively. During fiscal 2015, the Company announced the intention to shut down two facilities, one each in the Consumer Packaging and Engineered Materials divisions. The affected Consumer Packaging and Engineered Materials businesses accounted for approximately $24 million and $16 million of annual net sales, respectively. Since 2013, total expected costs attributed to restructuring programs total $60 million with $3 million remaining to be recognized in the future. ​ ​ ​ Expected Total ​ ​ Cumulative charges ​ ​ To be ​ Severance and termination benefits ​ ​ ​ $ 18 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 18 ​ ​ ​ ​ $  — ​ ​ Facility exit costs ​ ​ ​ ​ 27 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 24 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 3 ​ ​ Asset impairment ​ ​ ​ ​ 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 15 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ Total ​ ​ ​ $ 60 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 57 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ The tables below sets forth the significant components of the restructuring charges recognized for the fiscal years ended, by segment: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2013 Consumer Packaging ​ ​ ​ $ 11 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 24 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 5 Health, Hygiene & Specialties ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — Engineered Materials ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 9 Consolidated ​ ​ ​ $ 13 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 30 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 14 ​ The table below sets forth the activity with respect to the restructuring accrual: ​ ​ ​ Employee ​ ​ Facility ​ ​ Non-cash ​ ​ Total ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ Charges ​ ​ ​ ​ 9 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 14 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 30 ​ ​ Non-cash asset impairment ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ Cash payments ​ ​ ​ ​ (6 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (8 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (14 ) ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 13 ​ ​ Charges ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 7 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 13 ​ ​ Non-cash asset impairment ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ Cash payments ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (14 ) ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ $  — ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 10 ​ ​ ​

Net Income Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income Per Share	14. Net Income per Share Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share when their effect is dilutive. The Company's redeemable common stock is included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for calculating basic and diluted net income per share. The following tables and discussion provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net income per share computations. The calculation below provides net income on both basic and diluted basis for fiscal year end.

Separate narrative information or financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because they are 100% owned by the parent company and the guarantor subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee such debt on a joint and several basis. A guarantee of a guarantor of the securities will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: the sale of the capital stock of such guarantor if such sale complies with the indenture, the designation of such guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, the defeasance or discharge of the indenture, as a result of the holders of certain other indebtedness foreclosing on a pledge of the shares of a guarantor subsidiary or if such guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of the Issuer. The guarantees are also limited as necessary to prevent them from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and guarantees guaranteeing subordinated debt are subordinated to certain other of the Company’s debts. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the parent, issuer, guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. Our Issuer and guarantor financial information includes all of our domestic operating subsidiaries, our non-guarantor subsidiaries include our foreign subsidiaries, and BP Parallel, LLC.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	17. Subsequent Events AVINTIV Inc. In October 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of AVINTIV Inc. (“Avintiv”) for a purchase price of $2.3 billion which is preliminary, unaudited and subject to adjustment. Avintiv is one of the world’s leading developers, producers, and marketers of nonwoven specialty materials used in hygiene, infection prevention, personal care, and high-performance solutions. With 23 locations in 14 countries, an employee base of over 4,500 people, and the broadest range of process technologies in the industry, Avintiv’s strategically located manufacturing facilities position it as a global supplier to many of the same leading consumer and industrial product manufacturers that the Company supplies and utilize similar key raw materials as the Company’s existing business. The acquired business will primarily be operated in Berry’s newly announced Health, Hygiene & Specialties reporting segment. To finance the purchase, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% second priority senior secured notes due 2022 and entered into an incremental assumption agreement to increase the commitments under the Company’s existing term loan credit agreement by $2.1 billion due 2022. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price will be allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on preliminary fair values at the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of determining the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value on fixed assets, intangibles, deferred income taxes and reviewing all of the working capital acquired. The preliminary unaudited allocation of purchase price and estimated fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities consisted of working capital of $181 million, property and equipment of $969 million, intangible assets of $586 million, goodwill of $802 million, other assets of $46 million, a net deferred tax liability of $114 million, and other long-term liabilities of $207 million. Unaudited pro forma net sales were $6,739 million and $6,666 million and unaudited pro forma net losses were $40 million and $47 million for fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, respectively. The unaudited pro forma net sales and net loss assume that the Avintiv acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods. The results of the Providência and Dounor acquisitions have been included in Avintiv’s operations since June 11, 2014 and April 17, 2015, respectively. However, no pro forma adjustments have been made with respect to their operations prior to the date of acquisition by Avintiv as these acquisitions were not considered significant to Berry under Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma information presented above is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Avintiv acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the respective period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. Further, the information reflects only pro forma adjustments for additional interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, net of the applicable income tax effects. At the time of the acquisition of Avintiv, it indirectly owned a 71.25% controlling interest in Providência, their Brazilian subsidiary acquired in 2014. In November 2016, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired the remaining 28.75% non-controlling ownership interest of Providência for $66 million of cash. As a result of this transaction, Providência became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the Company recorded $3 million to Additional paid-in capital. Business Reorganization In November 2015, the Company reorganized into three operating segments: Consumer Packaging, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Engineered Materials. The Consumer Packaging segment consists of our historical Rigid Open Top and Rigid Closed Top segments, the food and consumer films business that was historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment, and the custom shrink films business that was historically reported in our Engineered Materials segment. The Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment includes the recently acquired Avintiv business, as well as the personal care films and international businesses that were historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment. The Engineered Materials segment includes the historical Engineered Materials segment excluding the custom shrink films business, and the converter films business that was historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment. Term Loan Repayments In December 2015 and February 2016, the Company made a $50 million and $100 million, respectively, voluntary principal payment on its outstanding term loan using existing liquidity.

Basis Of Presentation And Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Periods presented in these financial statements include fiscal periods ending September 26, 2015 (“fiscal 2015”), September 27, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”), and September 28, 2013 (“fiscal 2013”). Berry, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries operates in three primary segments: Consumer Packaging, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Engineered Materials. The Company’s customers are located principally throughout the United States, without significant concentration with any one customer. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company’s fiscal year is based on fifty two week periods. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. In November 2015, the Company reorganized into three operating segments: Consumer Packaging, Health, Hygiene & Specialties, and Engineered Materials. The Consumer Packaging segment consists of our historical Rigid Open Top and Rigid Closed Top segments, the food and consumer films business that was historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment, and the custom shrink films business that was historically reported in our Engineered Materials segment. The Health, Hygiene & Specialties segment includes the recently acquired Avintiv business, as well as the personal care films and international businesses that were historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment. The Engineered Materials segment includes the historical Engineered Materials segment excluding the custom shrink films business, and the converter films business that was historically reported in our Flexible Packaging segment.
Consolidation	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Berry and its subsidiaries, all of which includes our wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of consolidated subsidiaries is less than 100% the non-controlling interests are reflected in Non-controlling interest and Redeemable non-controlling interests.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue from the sales of products is recognized at the time title and risks and rewards of ownership pass to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, trade promotions, coupons, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in gross sales to arrive at net sales. In accordance with the Revenue Recognition standards of the Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification" or "ASC"), the Company provides for these items as reductions of revenue at the later of the date of the sale or the date the incentive is offered. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. Shipping, handling, purchasing, receiving, inspecting, warehousing, and other costs of distribution are presented in Cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company classifies amounts charged to its customers for shipping and handling in Net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation The compensation guidance of the FASB requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements based on alternative fair value models. The share-based compensation cost is measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The Company's share-based compensation plan is more fully described in Note 12. The Company recorded total stock compensation expense of $ 21 15 16 In August 2013, the Company recorded an $ 8 The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option valuation model for estimating the fair value of the stock options. The model allows for the use of a range of assumptions. Expected volatilities utilized in the Black-Scholes model are based on implied volatilities from traded stocks of peer companies. Similarly, the dividend yield is based on historical experience and the estimate of future dividend yields. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company's options have a ten year contractual life. For purposes of the valuation model in fiscal years 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company used the simplified method for determining the granted options expected lives. The fair value for options granted has been estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes model, with the following weighted average assumptions: Fiscal year 2015 2014 2013 Risk-free interest rate 1.6 % 1.3 % 0.6 % Dividend yield 0.0 % 0.0 % 0.0 % Volatility factor .30 .33 .38 Expected option life 7 years 7 years 7 years
Foreign Currency	Foreign Currency For the non-U.S. subsidiaries that account in a functional currency other than U.S. Dollars, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars using period-end exchange rates. Sales and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders' equity (deficit). Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents All highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the time of purchase are considered to be cash equivalents.
Allowance For Doubtful Accounts	Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company's accounts receivable and related allowance for doubtful accounts are analyzed in detail on a quarterly basis and all significant customers with delinquent balances are reviewed to determine future collectability. The determinations are based on legal issues (such as bankruptcy status), past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and the experience of the credit representatives. Reserves are established in the quarter in which the Company makes the determination that the account is deemed uncollectible. The Company maintains additional reserves based on its historical bad debt experience. The following table summarizes the activity for fiscal years ended for the allowance for doubtful accounts: ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ ​ 2013 ​ Allowance for doubtful accounts, beginning ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ Bad debt expense ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ Write-offs against allowance ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ Allowance for doubtful accounts, ending ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 3 ​ ​ ​
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are valued using the first-in, first-out method. Management periodically reviews inventory balances, using recent and future expected sales to identify slow-moving and/or obsolete items. The cost of spare parts is charged to cost of goods sold when purchased. We evaluate our reserve for inventory obsolescence on a quarterly basis and review inventory on-hand to determine future salability. We base our determinations on the age of the inventory and the experience of our personnel. We reserve inventory that we deem to be not salable in the quarter in which we make the determination. We believe, based on past history and our policies and procedures, that our net inventory is salable. Our inventory reserves were $ 20 19 ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ Inventories: ​ ​ ​ Finished goods ​ ​ ​ $ 309 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 353 ​ ​ Raw materials ​ ​ ​ ​ 213 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 251 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 522 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 604 ​ ​ ​
Property, Plant And Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 15 to 25 years for buildings and improvements, 2 to 10 years for machinery, equipment, and tooling and over the term of the agreement for capital leases. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvement or the lease term. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. The Company capitalized interest of $ 6 6 5 ​ ​ ​ 2015 ​ ​ 2014 ​ Property, plant and equipment: ​ ​ ​ Land, buildings and improvements ​ ​ ​ $ 367 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 363 ​ ​ Equipment and construction in progress ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,618 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,509 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,985 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2,872 ​ ​ Less accumulated depreciation ​ ​ ​ ​ (1,691 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1,508 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,294 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,364 ​ ​ ​
Long-Lived Assets	Long-lived Assets Long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and definite lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Property, plant and equipment standard of the ASC whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Specifically, this process involves comparing an asset's carrying value to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows the asset is expected to generate over its remaining life. If this process were to result in the conclusion that the carrying value of a long-lived asset would not be recoverable, a write-down of the asset to fair value would be recorded through a charge to operations. Fair value is determined based upon discounted cash flows or appraisals as appropriate. Long-lived assets that are held for sale are reported at the lower of the assets' carrying amount or fair value less costs related to the assets' disposition. We recorded impairment charges totaling $ 2 7 5
Goodwill	Goodwill The Company follows the principles provided by the Goodwill and Other Intangibles standard of the ASC. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested annually for impairment. The Company performs their annual impairment assessment on the first day of the fourth quarter in each respective fiscal year. The Company has recognized cumulative charges for goodwill impairment of $ 165 six Company applied the qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount, and concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying except for the Rigid Open Top reporting unit due to the decline in that units operating income. The Company completed step 1 in Fiscal 2014 of the impairment test which indicated no impairment existed for Rigid Open Top. In fiscal 2013, the Company applied the qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount and determined that no impairment was indicated and therefore did not perform a two-step impairment test. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows: ​ ​ ​ Consumer ​ ​ Health, ​ ​ Engineered ​ ​ Total ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,524 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 27 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 83 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,634 ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (4 ) ​ ​ Acquisitions (realignment), net ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 22 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 29 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,524 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 49 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 86 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,659 ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (5 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (9 ) ​ ​ Acquisitions, net ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 2 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,520 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 48 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 84 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,652 ​ ​ ​
Deferred Financing Fees	Deferred Financing Fees Deferred financing fees are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the lives of the respective debt agreements. Pursuant to ASC 835-30 the Company presents $ 5 4
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Customer relationships are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which corresponds with the customer attrition rates used in the initial valuation of the intangibles over the estimated life of the relationships which range from 11 to 20 years. Trademarks that are expected to remain in use, which are indefinite lived intangible assets, are required to be reviewed for impairment annually. Technology intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated life of the technology which is 11 years. License intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the license which is 10 years. Patent intangibles are being amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated life of the technology or the patent expiration date ranging from 10 to 20 years, with a weighted-average life of 15 years. The Company evaluates the remaining useful life of intangible assets on a periodic basis to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining useful life. We completed the annual impairment test of our indefinite lived trade names and noted no impairment. ​ ​ ​ Customer ​ ​ Trademarks ​ ​ Other ​ ​ Accumulated ​ ​ Total ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,134 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 283 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 107 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (668 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 856 ​ ​ Adjustment for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (2 ) ​ ​ Amortization expense ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (102 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (102 ) ​ ​ Acquisition intangibles ​ ​ ​ ​ 38 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 43 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,167 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 282 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 109 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (766 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 792 ​ ​ Adjustment for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ Foreign currency translation adjustment ​ ​ ​ ​ (6 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (1 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (6 ) ​ ​ Amortization expense ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (91 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (91 ) ​ ​ Acquisition intangibles ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ 1,159 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 281 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 106 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (853 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 693 ​ ​ ​
Insurable Liabilities	Insurable Liabilities The Company records liabilities for the self-insured portion of workers' compensation, health, product, general and auto liabilities. The determination of these liabilities and related expenses is dependent on claims experience. For most of these liabilities, claims incurred but not yet reported are estimated based upon historical claims experience.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequence of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or income tax returns. Income taxes are recognized during the period in which the underlying transactions are recorded. Deferred taxes, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill, are provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities as recorded for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. If the Company determines that a deferred tax asset arising from temporary differences is not likely to be utilized, the Company will establish a valuation allowance against that asset to record it at its expected realizable value. The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by relevant taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors including: the impact of enacted tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Company operates; the amount of earnings by jurisdiction, due to varying tax rates in each country; and the Company’s ability to utilize foreign tax credits related to foreign taxes paid on foreign earnings that will be remitted to the U.S.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Comprehensive Income (Loss) Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive losses include net unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries, changes in the value of our derivative instruments and adjustments to the pension liability. The accumulated balances related to each component of other comprehensive income (loss) were as follows (amounts below are net of taxes): ​ ​ ​ Currency ​ ​ Defined Benefit ​ ​ Interest ​ ​ Accumulated ​ Balance as of fiscal 2012 ​ ​ ​ $ (15 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (29 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (47 ) ​ ​ Other comprehensive income (loss) ​ ​ ​ ​ (5 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 34 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 20 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 49 ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (13 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (7 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (20 ) ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2013 ​ ​ ​ $ (20 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (8 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 10 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (18 ) ​ ​ Other comprehensive loss ​ ​ ​ ​ (16 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (11 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (3 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (30 ) ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 4 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2014 ​ ​ ​ $ (36 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (15 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 8 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (43 ) ​ ​ Other comprehensive loss ​ ​ ​ ​ (45 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (16 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (33 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (94 ) ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 6 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 12 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 18 ​ ​ Balance as of fiscal 2015 ​ ​ ​ $ (81 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (25 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (13 ) ​ ​ ​ ​ $ (119 ) ​ ​ ​
Accrued Rebates	Accrued Rebates The Company offers various rebates to customers based on purchases. These rebate programs are individually negotiated with customers and contain a variety of different terms and conditions. Certain rebates are calculated as flat percentages of purchases, while others included tiered volume incentives. These rebates may be payable monthly, quarterly, or annually. The calculation of the accrued rebate balance involves significant management estimates, especially where the terms of the rebate involve tiered volume levels that require estimates of expected annual sales. These provisions are based on estimates derived from current program requirements and historical experience. The accrual for customer rebates was $ 53 $ 50
Pension	Pension Pension benefit costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and expected return on plan assets. Retiree medical plan costs include assumptions for the discount rate, retirement age, and health-care-cost trend rates. Periodically, the Company evaluates the discount rate and the expected return on plan assets in its defined benefit pension and retiree health benefit plans. In evaluating these assumptions, the Company considers many factors, including an evaluation of the discount rates, expected return on plan assets and the health-care-cost trend rates of other companies; historical assumptions compared with actual results; an analysis of current market conditions and asset allocations; and the views of advisers.
Net Income Per Share	Net Income Per Share The Company calculates basic net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares. The Company calculates diluted net income per share based on the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the effect of dilutive securities.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make extensive use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of sales and expenses. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period that the event or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11: Income Taxes (Topic 740), Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2013-11"). An entity is required to present unrecognized tax benefits as a decrease in a net operating loss, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward if certain criteria are met. The determination of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and the deferred tax asset that exists at the reporting date and presumes disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date. The guidance will eliminate the diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits but will not alter the way in which entities assess deferred tax assets for realizability. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition In May 2014, the FASB issued a final standard on revenue recognition. Under the new standard, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In order to do so, an entity would follow the five-step process for in-scope transactions: 1) identify the contract with a customer, 2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, 3) determine the transaction price, 4) allocate the transaction price to the separate performance obligations in the contract, and 5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. For public entities, the provisions of the new standard are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. Early adoption for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 is permitted. An entity can apply the new revenue standard retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application in retained earnings. There are areas within the standard that are currently under review and reconsideration by the FASB, which could lead to future updates to the standard. As the outcomes of this process could lead to changes to the standard, we are still in the process of determining our approach to the adoption of this new standard, and the anticipated impact to the consolidated financial statements. Classification of Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this guidance. The effects of the adoption for fiscal years ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014, were a $5 million and $16 million, respectively, reduction of Goodwill, intangible assets, and deferred costs, net and Long-term debt, less current portion on the consolidated balance sheets by amounts classified as deferred costs. Inve ntory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory to simplify the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first out or the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, but do not expect the standard to have a material effect on our financial statements. Business Combinations In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805) — Simplifying the accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments
