Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements ("financial statements") of Cenveo, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Cenveo" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and, in the Company’s opinion, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of September 27, 2014, and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, are generally not indicative of the results to be expected for any interim period or for the full year, primarily due to restructuring, acquisition and debt-related activities or transactions. The December 28, 2013 consolidated balance sheet has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, filed with the SEC. It is the Company’s practice to close its fiscal quarters on the Saturday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter. The reporting periods for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013, each consisted of 13 weeks and 39 weeks, respectively. As a result of exploring opportunities to divest certain non-strategic or underperforming businesses within its manufacturing platform, the Company completed the sale of its Custom Envelope Group ("Custom Envelope") during the third quarter of 2013. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2013, the Company decided to exit the San Francisco market and closed a manufacturing facility. Collectively, the Company refers to these businesses as the "Discontinued Operations." As a result, the Company's historical condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) ("statements of operations") and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to reflect these Discontinued Operations separately from the Company's continuing operations for all periods presented. The Company has revised the historical financial statements included in its Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 to reflect certain adjustments made during the fourth quarter of 2013 to the preliminary purchase price allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed on September 16, 2013, the date the Company acquired certain assets of National Envelope Corporation ("National"). The adjustments resulted in an increase to the fair value of net assets acquired of $4.8 million and a corresponding increase to the bargain purchase gain recognized, exclusive of $1.9 million in tax expense. The Company has not adjusted the statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2013 for any other items. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company completed a realignment of its reportable segments as a result of a change in management reporting and strategy. The reportable segments were realigned into three complementary reportable segments: the envelope segment, the print segment and the label and packaging segment. Previously, the two reportable segments were the print and envelope segment and the label and packaging segment. Prior period disclosures have been updated to reflect current year presentation. New Accounting Pronouncements: Effective in the first quarter of 2013, the Company adopted an accounting pronouncement relating to the presentation of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"). This pronouncement does not change the current accounting requirements; however, the Company is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, the Company is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net loss is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net loss, but only if the amount is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net loss in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net loss, the Company is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail on these amounts. The Company has provided the required disclosures in Note 13. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU provides guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists. The objective of this ASU is to eliminate diversity in practice related to this topic. The ASU states that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the consolidated financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward except in certain situations. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact to the Company's financial statements. In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity." The amendments in the ASU change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing related disclosures. The amendments in the ASU are effective in the first quarter of 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-08 on its consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The new revenue recognition standard provides a five-step analysis to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The standard requires that a company recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
