Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization We are a leading global provider of packaging solutions for the food, e-Commerce, electronics and industrial markets. We serve an array of end markets including food and beverage processing, food service, retail, commercial and consumer applications, by providing food safety and security, product protection and equipment which allows our customers to increase automation. Our focus is on achieving quality profitable growth and increased earnings power through partnering with our customers to provide innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that solve their most complex packaging problems and create differential value for them. We do so through our iconic brands, differentiated technologies, leading market positions, global scale and market access and well-established customer relationships. We conduct substantially all of our business through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Cryovac, LLC and Sealed Air Corporation (US). Throughout this report, when we refer to “Sealed Air,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us,” we are referring to Sealed Air Corporation and all of our subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. Basis of Presentation Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all of the accounts of the Company and our subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany transactions and balances in consolidation. In management’s opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020 and our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 have been made. The results set forth in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2019 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Some prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications, individually and in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. All amounts are in millions, except per share amounts, and approximate due to rounding. All amounts are presented in US Dollar, unless otherwise specified. Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of the SEC. As permitted under those rules, annual footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of contingent amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We are responsible for the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes included in this report. As these are condensed financial statements, they should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (“2019 Form 10-K”) and with the information contained in other publicly-available filings with the SEC. Starting in the second quarter 2020, we have renamed our reporting segments from Food Care to Food and from Product Care to Protective. This segment reporting name change aligns with our use internally and in the markets we serve. There has been no change in the composition of the segments and no impact on prior period results of our reporting segments. Impact of Inflation and Currency Fluctuation Argentina Economic and political events in Argentina have continued to expose us to heightened levels of foreign currency exchange risk. As of July 1, 2018, Argentina was designated as a highly inflationary economy under U.S. GAAP, and the US dollar replaced the Argentine peso as the functional currency for our subsidiaries in Argentina. All Argentine peso-denominated monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into US dollars using the current exchange rate available to us, and any changes in the exchange rate are reflected in net foreign exchange transaction loss, within Foreign currency exchange loss due to highly inflationary economies on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $1.2 million and $2.1 million remeasurement loss, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $1.3 million and $2.1 million remeasurement loss, respectively.
