Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	Facility Closure and Sale of Business Facility Closure In November 2012, the Company announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Goshen, Indiana, moving production currently in Goshen to lower-cost manufacturing facilities during 2013, and recorded a charge, primarily for severance benefits, of approximately $1.2 million related to the termination of approximately 70 salaried employees that were involuntarily terminated. In the first quarter of 2013, upon completion of negotiations pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, the Company recorded a charge, primarily for severance benefits of approximately $3.8 million, which is included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of income, for its approximately 350 union hourly workers to be involuntarily terminated. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had paid approximately $1.0 million of the total hourly and salaried severance benefits, with the remainder to be paid by mid 2014. In addition, the Company expects to record approximately $1.6 million of accelerated depreciation expense between the facility closure announcement date and the closure date as a result of shortening the expected useful lives on certain machinery, equipment and leasehold improvement assets that the Company no longer will utilize following the facility closure. The Company recorded approximately $0.5 million and $1.2 million of such accelerated depreciation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company's manufacturing facility in Goshen is subject to a lease agreement expiring in 2022. Upon the cease-use date of the facility, the Company expects to record a pre-tax charge within its Cequent Americas reportable segment in the range of $4.0 million to $5.0 million for its estimate of future lease obligations. Sale of Business On August 5, 2013, the Company announced the sale of its business in Italy within the Packaging reportable segment for cash of approximately $10.3 million, with the final sale price remaining subject to a working capital adjustment, if any, which is expected to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of approximately $10.5 million, of which $7.9 million related to the release of historical currency translation adjustments into income, as proscribed under ASU 2013-5. See Note 2, "New Accounting Pronouncements," for further details.
