Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation As used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 , the terms "ACCO Brands," "ACCO," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to ACCO Brands Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. The management of ACCO Brands Corporation is responsible for the accuracy and internal consistency of the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although the Company believes the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 . The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2016 , the related Consolidated Statements of Income and the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited. The December 31, 2015 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all annual disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The above referenced financial statements included herein were prepared by management on the same basis as the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 and reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring items unless otherwise noted) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , and the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2016 . Interim results may not be indicative of results for a full year. On May 2, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in its former joint-venture, Pelikan Artline (the "PA Acquisition"), which it did not already own. Prior to the PA Acquisition, the Pelikan Artline joint venture was accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, the results of Pelikan Artline are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and will be reported in the ACCO Brands International segment from the date of the PA Acquisition, May 2, 2016. See " Note 3. Acquisition " for details on the PA Acquisition and see " Note 16. Joint-Venture Investment " for details on the joint-venture. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). The standard update simplifies the accounting for employee share-based payments and involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based transactions, including the potential timing of expenses, the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). The standard will require the recognition, on the balance sheet, of most leases as lease assets (right-of-use assets) and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. The standard also includes increased disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to understand more about the nature of an entity’s leasing activities. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted and adoption of ASU 2016-02 is to be done on a modified retrospective basis. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). The standard applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost. An entity should measure inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11 at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 more closely align the measurement of inventory in U.S. GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2015-14") deferring by one year the effective date of ASU 2014-09 until reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) ("ASU 2016-08"). The amendments in ASU 2016-08 affect ASU 2014-09 and are related to the principal versus agent considerations implementation guidance in ASU 2014-09. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ("ASU 2016-10"). The amendments in ASU 2016-10 clarify the following two aspects: identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting ("ASU 2016-11"). The amendments in ASU 2016-11 rescinded certain SEC Staff Observer comments that are codified, effective upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients ("ASU 2016-12"). The amendments in ASU 2016-12 address certain issues identified in the guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, non-cash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of these ASUs on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	3. Acquisition On May 2, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in its former joint-venture, Pelikan Artline, which it did not already own. Prior to the PA Acquisition, the Pelikan Artline joint venture was accounted for under the equity method. Pelikan Artline is a premier distributor of academic, consumer and business products in Australia and New Zealand. Pelikan Artline's product categories include writing instruments, notebooks, binding and lamination, visual communication, cleaning and janitorial supplies, as well as general stationery. Its industry-leading brands include Artline, Quartet and GBC (Pelikan Artline was ACCO Brands' distributor), Jastek, Spirax, and Texta, among others. In the PA Acquisition, ACCO Brands Australia Pty Limited and Bigadale Pty Limited (collectively, ''ACCO Australia"), two wholly-owned indirect subsidiaries of the Company, entered into a Share Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with Andrew Kaldor, Cherington Investments Pty Ltd, Freiburg Nominees Proprietary Limited, Enora Pty Ltd and Bruce Haynes and certain Guarantors named therein (collectively, the "Seller Parties") to purchase directly or indirectly 100% of the capital stock of Australia Stationery Industries, Inc. which indirectly owned the 50% of the Pelikan Artline joint venture and the issued capital stock of Pelikan Artline Pty Limited that was not already owned by ACCO Brands Australia Pty Limited. The preliminary purchase price was $103.8 million , net of working capital adjustments and was $88.9 million , net of cash acquired. Following completion of the PA Acquisition, ACCO Australia owns, directly and indirectly, 100% of Pelikan Artline and Pelikan Artline Pty Limited. In addition to representations, warranties and covenants, the Agreement contains indemnification obligations and certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants made by the Seller Parties in favor of ACCO Australia. A portion of the purchase price was allocated to fund the redemption of a 19.83% minority interest from a shareholder of a subsidiary of Pelikan Artline (the "Minority Interest Redemption"), which occurred shortly following the closing of the PA Acquisition. Additionally, approximately 10% of the purchase price after deducting the Minority Interest Redemption is held in escrow as security with respect to post-closing warranty, tax claims and indemnification obligations. The Company financed the PA Acquisition through increased borrowings under its existing credit facility. See " Note 4. Long-term Debt and Short-term Borrowings " for details on these additional borrowings. For accounting purposes, the Company is the acquiring enterprise. The PA Acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase business combination. Accordingly, the results of Pelikan Artline are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of the PA Acquisition, May 2, 2016. Additionally, we recognized a $35.2 million gain in association with the PA Acquisition due to the revaluation of the Company's previously held equity interest in Pelikan Artline. This gain was reported in " Other (income) expense, net " during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. The preliminary calculation of consideration given for Pelikan Artline is described in the following table. (in millions of dollars) At May 2, 2016 Purchase price, net of working capital adjustments $ 103.8 Fair value of previously held equity interest 75.7 Consideration for Pelikan Artline $ 179.5 The following table presents the preliminary allocation of the consideration given to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. (in millions of dollars) At May 2, 2016 Calculation of Goodwill: Purchase price, net of working capital adjustments $ 103.8 Fair value of previously held equity interest 75.7 Plus fair value of liabilities assumed: Accounts payable and accrued liabilities 21.8 Deferred tax liabilities 0.3 Debt 24.7 Other non-current liabilities 1.4 Fair value of liabilities assumed $ 48.2 Less fair value of assets acquired: Cash acquired 14.9 Accounts receivable 27.0 Inventory 24.1 Property and equipment 2.2 Identifiable intangibles 60.8 Deferred tax assets 5.8 Other assets 8.6 Fair value of assets acquired $ 143.4 Goodwill $ 84.3 We are continuing our review of our fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period, which will conclude as soon as we receive the information we are seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, or learn that more information is not available. This measurement period will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. The final determination of the purchase price, fair values and resulting goodwill may differ significantly from what is reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Our fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is pending completion of several elements, including the finalization of an independent appraisal and valuations of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and final review by our management. The primary areas that are not yet finalized relate to net working capital, intangible assets, property and equipment, contingent liabilities and income taxes. Accordingly, there could be material adjustments to our consolidated financial statements, including changes in our amortization and depreciation expense related to the valuation of intangible assets and property and equipment acquired and their respective useful lives among other adjustments. Transaction costs related to the PA Acquisition of $1.4 million incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $0.6 million incurred during the fourth quarter of 2015 were reported as advertising, selling, general and administrative expenses. The accounting literature establishes guidelines regarding and requires the presentation of the following unaudited pro forma information. Therefore, the unaudited pro forma information presented below is not intended to represent, nor do we believe it is indicative of, the consolidated results of operations of the Company that would have been reported had the PA Acquisition been completed on January 1, 2015. Furthermore, the unaudited pro forma information does not give effect to the anticipated synergies or other anticipated benefits of the PA Acquisition. Had the PA Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2015, unaudited pro forma consolidated results for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2016 and 2015 would have been as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions of dollar, except per share data) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Net sales $ 418.8 $ 420.5 $ 724.2 $ 736.0 Net income 25.6 26.5 29.8 59.4 Net income per common share (diluted) $ 0.23 $ 0.24 $ 0.27 $ 0.53 The pro forma amounts are based on the Company's historical results of operations and the historical results of operations for the acquired Pelikan Artline business, which have been translated at the average foreign exchange rates for the presented periods. The pro forma results of operations have been adjusted for amortization of finite-lived intangibles, and other charges related to acquisition accounting. The pro forma results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 have also been adjusted to include transaction costs related to the PA Acquisition of $2.0 million , amortization of the purchase accounting step-up in inventory cost of $0.3 million and financing related costs. These 2015 adjustments include the $35.2 million gain ( $38.9 million based on 2015 exchange rates) associated with the PA Acquisition due to the revaluation of the Company's previously held equity interest in Pelikan Artline. All adjustments were made on a net of income tax basis, where applicable. In addition, the equity in earnings of joint venture that was previously included in the Company's results in respect of Pelikan Artline has been excluded.

Long-term Debt and Short-term Borrowings Notes payable and long-term debt, listed in order of their security interests, consisted of the following as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 : (in millions of dollars) June 30, December 31, U.S. Dollar Senior Secured Term Loan A, due April 2020 (floating interest rate of 2.08% at June 30, 2016 and 1.88% at December 31, 2015) $ 151.0 $ 229.0 Australian Dollar Senior Secured Term Loan A, due April 2020 (floating interest rate of 3.70% at June 30, 2016) 74.4 — U.S. Dollar Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, due April 2020 (floating interest rate of 1.96% at June 30, 2016) 45.0 — Australian Dollar Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, due April 2020 (floating interest rate of 3.68% at June 30, 2016) 113.1 — Senior Unsecured Notes, due April 2020 (fixed interest rate of 6.75%) 500.0 500.0 Other borrowings 0.1 — Total debt 883.6 729.0 Less: Current portion 48.9 — Debt issuance costs, unamortized 7.3 8.5 Long-term debt, net $ 827.4 $ 720.5 In connection with the PA Acquisition, effective May 1, 2016, the Company entered into a Second Amendment and Additional Borrower Consent (the "Second Amendment"), among the Company, certain guarantor subsidiaries of the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the "Agent"), and the other lenders party thereto, which amends the Company’s existing Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2015, as amended. Among other things, the Second Amendment amends the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second Amendment, the "Credit Agreement") to include ACCO Brands Australia Holding Pty. Ltd. ("ACCO Australia") as a foreign borrower and, together with a related incremental joinder agreement, facilitates borrowings under the Credit Agreement by ACCO Australia. The PA Acquisition was financed through a borrowing of A$100.0 million (US $74.4 million based on June 30, 2016 exchange rates) by ACCO Australia in the form of an incremental Term A loan under the Credit Agreement along with additional borrowings of A$152.0 million (US $113.1 million based on June 30, 2016 exchange rates) under the Company’s existing revolving facility. The Company used some of the proceeds from the borrowings to reduce the U.S. Dollar Senior Secured Term Loan A by $78.0 million and to pay off the debt assumed in the PA Acquisition of A$32.1 million (US $24.5 million based on May 2, 2016 exchange rates). As of June 30, 2016 , there were $158.1 million in borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The amount available for borrowings was $132.9 million (allowing for $9.0 million of letters of credit outstanding on that date). We expect to repay the borrowings under the U.S. Dollar Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility by the end of 2016. As more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 , we must meet certain restrictive debt covenants under the senior secured credit facilities. The indenture governing the senior unsecured notes also contains certain covenants. As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the Company was in compliance with all applicable loan covenants.

Also during the second quarter of 2016 , the Company's Board of Directors approved employee stock compensation grants, which consisted of 3,098 RSUs and 7,333 PSUs. We generally recognize compensation expense for stock-based awards ratably over the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 includes $0.8 million and $0.8 million , respectively, of expense related to stock awards granted to eligible non-employee directors, which were fully vested on the grant date.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill And Identifiable Intangibles	8. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets Goodwill As more fully described in the Company’s 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we test goodwill for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. The Company performed this annual assessment, on a qualitative basis, as allowed by U.S. GAAP, in the second quarter of 2016 and concluded that no impairment existed. Changes in the net carrying amount of goodwill by segment were as follows: (in millions of dollars) ACCO ACCO Computer Total Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 377.5 $ 112.6 $ 6.8 $ 496.9 Pelikan Artline acquisition (preliminary) — 84.3 — 84.3 Translation 3.6 13.8 — 17.4 Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 381.1 $ 210.7 $ 6.8 $ 598.6 Goodwill $ 512.0 $ 294.9 $ 6.8 $ 813.7 Accumulated impairment losses (130.9 ) (84.2 ) — (215.1 ) Balance at June 30, 2016 $ 381.1 $ 210.7 $ 6.8 $ 598.6 Goodwill has been recorded on our balance sheet related to the PA Acquisition and represents the excess of the cost of the PA Acquisition when compared to the fair value estimate of the net assets acquired on May 2, 2016 (the date of the PA Acquisition). See Note 3. Acquisition , for details on the preliminary calculation of the goodwill acquired in the PA Acquisition. Identifiable Intangible Assets The identifiable intangible assets of $60.8 million acquired in the PA Acquisition include amortizable customer relationships and trade names and were recorded at their preliminary estimated fair values. We are continuing our review of our fair value estimate of assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the measurement period, which will conclude as soon as we receive the information we are seeking about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date, or learn that more information is not available. The values assigned were based on the estimated future discounted cash flows attributable to the assets. These future cash flows were estimated based on the historical cash flows and then adjusted for anticipated future changes, primarily expected changes in sales volume or price. Amortizable customer relationships and trade names are expected to be amortized over lives ranging from 12 to 30 years from the PA Acquisition date of May 2, 2016. The customer relationships will be amortized on an accelerated basis. The preliminary allocations of the acquired identifiable intangibles acquired in the PA Acquisition are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Estimated Fair Value Estimated Average Remaining Useful Life Customer relationships $ 37.8 12 Years Trade names - amortizable 23.0 12-30 Years Total identifiable intangibles acquired $ 60.8 The gross carrying value and accumulated amortization by class of identifiable intangible assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows: June 30, 2016 December 31, 2015 (in millions of dollars) Gross Accumulated Net Gross Accumulated Net Indefinite-lived intangible assets: Trade names $ 484.1 $ (44.5 ) (1) $ 439.6 $ 471.8 $ (44.5 ) (1) $ 427.3 Amortizable intangible assets: Trade names 144.1 (64.9 ) 79.2 122.6 (61.7 ) 60.9 Customer and contractual relationships 133.7 (69.5 ) 64.2 95.8 (63.1 ) 32.7 Subtotal 277.8 (134.4 ) 143.4 218.4 (124.8 ) 93.6 Total identifiable intangibles $ 761.9 $ (178.9 ) $ 583.0 $ 690.2 $ (169.3 ) $ 520.9 (1) Accumulated amortization prior to the adoption of authoritative guidance on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, at which time further amortization ceased. The Company’s intangible amortization expense was $5.4 million and $4.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively and $10.1 million and $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Estimated amortization expense for amortizable intangible assets as of June 30, 2016 for the current year and the next five years are as follows: (in millions of dollars) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Estimated amortization expense (1) $ 21.6 $ 20.4 $ 17.8 $ 15.2 $ 12.6 $ 10.1 (1) Actual amounts of amortization expense may differ from estimated amounts due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, additional intangible asset acquisitions, impairment of intangible assets, accelerated amortization of intangible assets and other events. We test indefinite-lived intangibles for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred. We performed this annual assessment, on a qualitative basis, as allowed by U.S. GAAP, for the majority of indefinite-lived trade names in the second quarter of 2016 and concluded that no impairment existed. For two of our indefinite-lived trade names that are not substantially above their carrying values, Mead ® and Hilroy ® , we performed quantitative tests (Step 1) in the second quarter of 2016. The following long-term growth rates and discount rates were used, 1.5% and 10.0% for Mead ® and 1.5% and 10.5% for Hilroy ® , respectively. We concluded that neither Mead ® nor Hilroy ® were impaired. In the fourth quarter of 2015 we performed a quantitative test, as we identified the recession in Brazil as a triggering event related to our trade name, Tilibra ® , primarily used in Brazil. While we concluded that no impairment existed, the trade name's fair value has been significantly reduced. Key financial assumptions utilized to determine the fair value of Tilibra ® included a long-term growth rate of 6.5% and a 14.5% discount rate. In 2016, the Tilibra ® trade name is performing in line with the forecast used in the fourth quarter of 2015 quantitative test; however, the economic conditions in Brazil could deteriorate further triggering additional future reviews. The fair values of Mead ® , Tilibra ® and Hilroy ® trade names are less than 30% above their carrying values. As of June 30, 2016 the carrying values of those trade names were as follows: Mead ® ( $113.3 million ), Tilibra ® ( $63.4 million ) and Hilroy ® ( $12.3 million ).

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring	9. Restructuring During the second quarter of 2016, the Company initiated cost savings plans related to the consolidation and integration of the recently acquired Pelikan Artline into the Company's already existing Australian and New Zealand business. In addition the Company initiated additional cost savings plans to further enhance its North American operations. During 2014, we initiated restructuring actions that further enhanced our ongoing efforts to centralize, control and streamline our global and regional operational, supply chain and administrative functions, primarily associated with our North American school, office and Computer Products Group workforce. The remaining balance reported at December 31, 2015 has been substantially paid in 2016. We recorded $4.4 million and $0.2 million of expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively and $4.4 million of expense and $0.3 million of income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. Employee termination income in 2015 relates to the release of reserves no longer required. A summary of the activity in the restructuring accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was as follows: (in millions of dollars) Balance at December 31, 2015 Provision Cash Non-cash Balance at June 30, 2016 Employee termination costs $ 0.9 $ 4.4 $ (3.3 ) $ 0.1 $ 2.1 Termination of lease agreements 0.1 — (0.1 ) — — Total restructuring liability $ 1.0 $ 4.4 $ (3.4 ) $ 0.1 $ 2.1 (in millions of dollars) Balance at December 31, 2014 (Income)/ Provision Cash Non-cash Balance at June 30, 2015 Employee termination costs $ 7.8 $ (0.5 ) $ (3.8 ) $ (0.1 ) $ 3.4 Termination of lease agreements 0.6 0.2 (0.4 ) — 0.4 Total restructuring liability $ 8.4 $ (0.3 ) $ (4.2 ) $ (0.1 ) $ 3.8 We expect the remaining $2.1 million of employee termination costs to be substantially paid in the next eighteen months.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	10. Income Taxes The reconciliation of income taxes for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate, compared to our effective income tax rate, was as follows: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions of dollars) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Income tax expense computed at U.S. statutory income tax rate (35%) $ 25.2 $ 13.7 $ 24.3 $ 11.7 Interest on Brazilian Tax Assessment 0.7 0.7 1.3 1.4 Realized foreign exchange net loss on intercompany loans (3.3 ) — (10.7 ) — Revaluation of previously held equity interest (14.2 ) — (14.2 ) — Correction of deferred tax — (1.6 ) — (1.6 ) Miscellaneous 1.6 (1.4 ) 1.9 — Income tax expense as reported $ 10.0 $ 11.4 $ 2.6 $ 11.5 Effective tax rate 13.9 % 29.2 % 3.8 % 34.4 % For the six months ended June 30, 2016 , we recorded an income tax expense of $2.6 million on income before taxes of $69.3 million . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we reported an income tax expense of $11.5 million on income before taxes of $33.4 million . The low effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is primarily due to the following: 1) under Australian tax laws, there is no tax expense on the $35.2 million gain arising from the PA Acquisition due to the revaluation of the Company's ownership interest to fair value and 2) tax losses on foreign exchange on the repayment of intercompany loans, for which the pre-tax effect is recorded in equity. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the year 2012 and forward. Foreign and U.S. state jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from 2 to 5 years. Years still open to examination by foreign tax authorities in major jurisdictions include Australia ( 2011 forward), Brazil ( 2010 forward), Canada ( 2007 forward) and the U.K. ( 2014 forward). We are currently under examination in certain foreign jurisdictions. Income Tax Assessment In connection with our May 1, 2012 acquisition of Mead Consumer and Office Products Business ("Mead C&OP") we assumed all of the tax liabilities for the acquired foreign operations including Tilibra Produtos de Papelaria Ltda. ("Tilibra"). In December of 2012, the Federal Revenue Department of the Ministry of Finance of Brazil ("FRD") issued a tax assessment (the "Brazilian Tax Assessment") against Tilibra, which challenged the tax deduction of goodwill from Tilibra's taxable income for the year 2007. A second assessment challenging the deduction of goodwill from Tilibra's taxable income for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010 was issued by FRD in October 2013. Tilibra is disputing both of the tax assessments through established administrative procedures. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously contest these matters; however, there can be no assurances that we will ultimately prevail. We are still in the administrative stages of the process to challenge the FRD's tax assessments, and the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which is expected to take a number of years. In addition, Tilibra's 2011-2012 tax years remain open and subject to audit, and there can be no assurances that we will not receive additional tax assessments regarding the goodwill for one or both of those years. The time limit for issuing an assessment for 2011 expires in December 2016. If the FRD's initial position is ultimately sustained, the amount assessed would materially and adversely affect our cash flow in the year of settlement. Because there is no settled legal precedent on which to base a definitive opinion as to whether we will ultimately prevail, we consider the outcome of this dispute to be uncertain. Since it is not more likely than not that we will prevail, in 2012, we recorded a reserve in the amount of $44.5 million (at December 31, 2012 exchange rates) in consideration of this contingency, of which $43.3 million was recorded as an adjustment to the purchase price and which included the 2007-2012 tax years plus penalties and interest through December 2012. Included in this reserve is an assumption of penalties at 75% , which is the standard penalty. While there is a possibility that a penalty of 150% could be imposed, based on the facts in our case and existing precedent, we believe the likelihood of a 150% penalty being imposed is not more likely than not. In the meantime, we will continue to actively monitor administrative and judicial court decisions and evaluate their impact, if any, on our legal assessment of the ultimate outcome of our case. In addition, we will continue to accrue interest related to this contingency until such time as the outcome is known or until evidence is presented that we are more likely than not to prevail. During the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 we accrued additional interest as a charge to current income tax expense of $0.7 million and $0.7 million , respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , we accrued additional interest of $1.3 million and $1.4 million , respectively. At current exchange rates, our accrual through June 30, 2016 , including tax, penalties and interest is $36.0 million .

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	11. Earnings per Share Total outstanding shares as of June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 107.2 million and 108.1 million , respectively. Under our stock repurchase program, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 we repurchased and retired 3.0 million and 5.1 million shares, respectively, of common stock. No shares were repurchased during the three or six months ended June 30, 2016 . In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 we acquired 0.0 million and 0.1 million shares and 0.7 million and 0.7 million shares, respectively, of treasury shares related to tax withholding for share-based compensation. The calculation of basic earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the year, or period, over which they were outstanding. Our calculation of diluted earnings per common share assumes that any common shares outstanding were increased by shares that would be issued upon exercise of those stock units for which the average market price for the period exceeds the exercise price less the shares that could have been purchased by the Company with the related proceeds, including compensation expense measured but not yet recognized, net of tax. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding — basic 107.1 109.1 106.6 110.6 Stock options 0.8 0.2 0.5 0.2 Stock-settled stock appreciation rights — 0.3 — 0.4 Restricted stock units 1.1 1.0 1.5 1.3 Adjusted weighted-average shares and assumed conversions — diluted 109.0 110.6 108.6 112.5 Awards of potentially dilutive shares of common stock, which have exercise prices that were higher than the average market price during the period, are not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 these shares were approximately 3.8 million and 6.4 million , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 these shares were approximately 6.0 million and 5.2 million , respectively.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	12. Derivative Financial Instruments We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate changes. We enter into financial instruments to manage and reduce the impact of these risks, not for trading or speculative purposes. The counterparties to these financial instruments are major financial institutions. We continually monitor our foreign currency exposures in order to maximize the overall effectiveness of our foreign currency hedge positions. Principal currencies hedged include the U.S. dollar, Euro, Australian dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound and Japanese Yen. We are subject to credit risk, which relates to the ability of counterparties to meet their contractual payment obligations or the potential non-performance by counterparties to financial instrument contracts. Management continues to monitor the status of our counterparties and will take action, as appropriate, to further manage our counterparty credit risk. There are no credit contingency features in our derivative financial instruments. When hedge accounting is applicable, on the date we enter into a derivative, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the identified exposure. We measure the effectiveness of our hedging relationships both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis. Forward Currency Contracts We enter into forward foreign currency contracts to reduce the effect of fluctuating foreign currencies, primarily on foreign denominated inventory purchases and intercompany loans. The majority of the Company’s exposure to local currency movements is in Europe, Australia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico and Japan. Forward currency contracts are used to hedge foreign denominated inventory purchases for Europe, Australia, Canada and Japan and are designated as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains and losses on these contracts for inventory purchases are deferred in other comprehensive income (loss) until the contracts are settled and the underlying hedged transactions are recognized, at which time the deferred gains or losses will be reported in the " Cost of products sold " line in the " Consolidated Statements of Income ." As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we had cash-flow-designated foreign exchange contracts outstanding with a U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of $64.6 million and $68.2 million , respectively. Forward currency contracts used to hedge foreign denominated intercompany loans are not designated as hedging instruments. Gains and losses on these derivative instruments are recognized within " Other (income) expense, net " in the " Consolidated Statements of Income " and are largely offset by the change in the current translated value of the hedged item. In the first of quarter of 2016, we also took out a forward currency contract to hedge an expected intercompany dividend, which also was not designated as a hedging instrument. The periods of the forward foreign exchange contracts correspond to the periods of the hedged transactions, and do not extend beyond June 2017 . As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we had undesignated foreign exchange contracts outstanding with a U.S. dollar equivalent notional value of $45.3 million and $33.3 million , respectively.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Of Financial Instruments	13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments In establishing a fair value, there is a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The basis of the fair value measurement is categorized in three levels, in order of priority, as described below: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities Level 2 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or Unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability We utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. We have determined that our financial assets and liabilities are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 : (in millions of dollars) June 30, December 31, Assets: Forward currency contracts $ 1.3 $ 2.6 Liabilities: Forward currency contracts $ 2.3 $ 0.4 Our forward currency contracts are included in " Other current assets " or " Other current liabilities " and mature within 12 months. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are primarily valued based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, notes payable to banks, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate carrying amounts due principally to their short maturities. The carrying amount of total debt was $883.6 million and $729.0 million and the estimated fair value of total debt was $909.8 million and $740.3 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The fair values are determined from quoted market prices, where available, and from investment bankers using current interest rates considering credit ratings and the remaining time to maturity.

Information on Business Segments	15. Information on Business Segments ACCO Brands is one of the world's largest designers, marketers and manufacturers of branded business, academic and consumer products. The Company’s three business segments are described below. ACCO Brands North America and ACCO Brands International ACCO Brands North America and ACCO Brands International design, market, source, manufacture and sell traditional office products, academic supplies and calendar products. ACCO Brands North America comprises the U.S. and Canada, and ACCO Brands International comprises the rest of the world, primarily Northern Europe, Australia, Brazil and Mexico. On May 2, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in its former joint-venture, Pelikan Artline, which it did not already own. Prior to the PA Acquisition, the Pelikan Artline joint venture was accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, the results of Pelikan Artline are included in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of the PA Acquisition, May 2, 2016. Pelikan Artline is a premier distributor of academic, consumer and business products in Australia and New Zealand. Pelikan Artline's product categories include writing instruments, notebooks, binding and lamination, visual communication, cleaning and janitorial supplies, as well as general stationery. Its industry-leading brands include Artline, Quartet and GBC (Pelikan Artline was ACCO Brands' distributor), Jastek, Spirax, and Texta, among others. Pelikan Artline has been included in the ACCO Brands International segment. Our business, academic and calendar product lines use name brands such as Artline, AT-A-GLANCE ® , Day-Timer ® , Five Star ® , GBC ® , Hilroy ® , Marbig, Mead ® , NOBO, Quartet ® , Rexel, Swingline ® , Tilibra ® , Wilson Jones ® and many others. Products and brands are not confined to one channel or product category and are sold based on end-user preference in each geographic location. The majority of our office products, such as stapling, binding and laminating equipment and related consumable supplies, shredders and whiteboards, are used by businesses. Most of these end-users purchase their products from our customers, which include traditional office supply resellers, wholesalers and other retailers, including on-line retailers. We also supply some of our products directly to large commercial and industrial end-users, and provide business machine maintenance and certain repair services. Additionally, we also supply private label products within the office products sector. Our academic products include notebooks, folders, decorative calendars and stationery products. We distribute our academic products primarily through mass merchandisers, and other retailers, such as grocery, drug and office superstores as well as on-line retailers. We also supply private label products within the academic products sector. Our calendar products are sold through all the same channels where we sell office or school products, as well as directly to consumers both on-line and through direct mail. Our customers are primarily large global and regional resellers of our products including traditional office supply resellers, wholesalers and other retailers, including on-line retailers. Mass merchandisers and retail channels primarily sell to individual consumers but also to small businesses. We also sell to commercial contract dealers, wholesalers, distributors and independent dealers who primarily serve business end-users. Over half of our product sales by our customers are to business end-users, who generally seek premium products that have added value or ease-of-use features and a reputation for reliability, performance and professional appearance. Some of our binding and laminating equipment products are sold directly to high-volume end-users and commercial reprographic centers. We also sell our directly to consumers. Computer Products Group Our Computer Products Group designs, sources, distributes, markets and sells accessories for laptop and desktop computers and tablets. These accessories primarily include security products, input devices such as presenters, mice and trackballs, ergonomic aids such as foot and wrist rests, docking station, and other PC and tablet accessories. We sell these products mostly under the Kensington ® , Microsaver ® and ClickSafe ® brand names, with the majority of revenue coming from the U.S. and Northern Europe. Our computer products are manufactured by third-party suppliers, principally in Asia, and are distributed from our regional facilities. Our computer products are sold primarily to consumer electronics retailers, information technology value-added resellers, original equipment manufacturers, and office products retailers, as well as directly to consumers on-line.

Commitments And Contingencies	17. Commitments and Contingencies Pending Litigation - Brazil Tax Assessment In connection with our May 1, 2012 acquisition of Mead C&OP we assumed all of the tax liabilities for the acquired foreign operations. See " Note 10. Income Taxes - Income Tax Assessment " for details on tax assessments issued by the FRD against our acquired indirect subsidiary, Tilibra, which challenged the tax deduction of goodwill from Tilibra's taxable income for the years 2007 through 2010. Other Pending Litigation There are various other claims, lawsuits and pending actions against us incidental to our operations. It is the opinion of management that (other than the Brazilian Tax Assessment) the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow. However, there is no assurance that we will ultimately be successful in our defense of any of these matters or that an adverse outcome in any matter will not affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flow. Environmental We are subject to national, state, provincial and/or local environmental laws and regulations concerning the discharge of materials into the environment and the handling, disposal and clean-up of waste materials and otherwise relating to the protection of the environment. It is not possible to quantify with certainty the potential impact of actions regarding environmental matters, particularly remediation and other compliance efforts that we may undertake in the future. In the opinion of our management, compliance with the present environmental protection laws, before taking into account estimated recoveries from third parties, will not have a material adverse effect upon our capital expenditures, financial condition and results of operations or competitive position.
