Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Reporting Segment Reporting
The Company’s operating and reporting structure consists of two reportable segments, Consumer Packaging and Industrial Paper Packaging, with all remaining businesses reported as All Other. Effective January 1, 2024, the Company integrated its flexible packaging and thermoformed packaging businesses within the Consumer Packaging segment in order to streamline operations, enhance customer service and better position the business for accelerated growth. As a result, the Company changed its operating and reporting structure to reflect the way it now manages its operations, evaluates performance, and allocates resources. Accordingly, the Company’s consumer thermoformed businesses have moved from the All Other group of businesses to the Consumer Packaging segment. Prior year segment results presented below have been recast to conform with the current presentation. In addition, effective January 1, 2024, the Company began conducting its recycling operations, part of the Industrial Paper Packaging segment, as a procurement function. As a result, no recycling net sales are recorded and the margin from the operations reduces “Cost of sales.”
The products produced and sold within the Consumer Packaging segment consist primarily of round and shaped rigid paper, steel and plastic containers; metal and peelable membrane ends, closures, and components; thermoformed plastic trays and applications; and high-barrier flexible packaging.
The primary products produced and sold within the Industrial Paper Packaging segment include paperboard tubes, cones, and cores; paper-based protective packaging; and uncoated recycled paperboard.
The primary products produced with the All Other group of businesses consist of a variety of packaging materials, including plastic, paper, foam, and various other specialty materials.
The following tables set forth net sales, intersegment sales, segment operating profit, and the reconciliation of segment operating profit to “Income before income taxes.” Segment operating profit is the measure of segment profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segments and assessing their performance in accordance with ASC 280 - “Segment Reporting,” as prescribed by the FASB.
