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 July 2, 2016, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, and cash flows for the six months ended July 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015. 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 six months ended July 2, 2016, 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 January 2, 2016 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 January 2, 2016, filed with the SEC. The reporting periods for the three and six months ended July 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, each consisted of 13 and 26 weeks, respectively. As a result of exploring opportunities to divest certain non-strategic or underperforming businesses within its manufacturing platform, during the first quarter of 2016 the Company completed the sale of its folded carton and shrink sleeve packaging businesses, along with its one top-sheet lithographic print operation (collectively, the "Packaging Business"). See Note 3 for information regarding the completion of the sale of the Packaging Business. As a result, the financial results of the Packaging Business have been accounted for as discontinued operations. The Company's historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give recognition to the discontinued operations for all periods presented. Subsequent Event On July 8, 2016, the Company announced a reverse split of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-8, effective July 13, 2016 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Common Stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis on July 14, 2016. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of the stockholders held on May 26, 2016. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each eight pre-split shares of Common Stock outstanding were automatically combined into one new share of Common Stock without any action on the part of the respective holders, and the number of outstanding common shares on the date of the split was reduced from approximately 68.5 million shares to approximately 8.5 million shares. The Reverse Stock Split also applied to Common Stock issuable upon the exchange of the Company’s outstanding 7% senior exchangeable notes due 2017 (the “7% Notes”) and upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding warrants and the Company's outstanding stock options, restricted share units ("RSUs"), and performance share units ("PSUs"), (collectively, the "Equity Awards"). In addition, the authorized Common Stock was initially increased from 100 million to 120 million shares and then adjusted in the Reverse Stock Split from 120 million to 15 million shares. The Company's historical condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give recognition to the Reverse Stock Split for all periods presented. New Accounting Pronouncements: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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, 2017 and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company expects that the future adoption of ASU 2014-09 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17 "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes." ASU 2015-17 simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes to require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a classified balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2015-17 on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." The new standard simplifies various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments include income tax consequences, the accounting for forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and early adoption is permitted if all amendments are adopted in the same period. The Company is currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
