Basis Of Presentation	Jul. 02, 2016
Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Berry") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, we must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all subsequent events up to the time of the filing have been evaluated. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's most recent Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In November 2015, the Company reorganized into three operating segments: Health, Hygiene & Specialties, Consumer Packaging, and Engineered Materials. The Company has recast all prior period amounts to conform to this new reporting structure.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") in the form of accounting standards updates to the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification. During fiscal 2016, with the exception of the below, there have been no developments to the recently adopted accounting pronouncements from those disclosed in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K that are considered to have a material impact on our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory to simplify the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first out or the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016. Its effect did not have a material impact on our financial statements. Business Combinations In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments which requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. Entities should present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the footnotes the portion of the measurement period adjustment recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016. We will continue to consider the impact of such guidance on our recording of the AVINTIV, Inc. business combination. Income Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This update requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. The update is effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, early application is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016, on a prospective basis, resulting in a $175 million reclassification of our net current deferred tax asset to the net long-term deferred tax liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new standard, the lessee of an operating lease will be required to do the following: 1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, 2) recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and 3) classify all cash payments within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Companies will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective approach, and amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance. Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its Simplification Initiative. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

Acquisition [Abstract]

Acquisition

3. Acquisition

AVINTIV Inc.

In October 2015, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of AVINTIV Inc. ("Avintiv") for a purchase price of $2.26 billion, net of $195 million of cash acquired, which is preliminary and subject to adjustment. Avintiv is one of the world's leading developers, producers, and marketers of nonwoven specialty materials used in hygiene, infection prevention, personal care, and industrial, construction and filtration applications. The acquired business is operated in the Health, Hygiene & Specialties reporting segment. To finance the purchase, the Company issued $400 million aggregate principal amount of 6.0% second priority senior secured notes due 2022 and entered into an incremental assumption agreement to increase the commitments under the Company's existing term loan credit agreement by $2.1 billion due 2022.

The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities based on preliminary fair values at the acquisition date. The results of Avintiv have been included in the consolidated results of the Company since the date of the acquisition. During the quarterly period ending July 2, 2016, the Company recorded adjustments based on an updated fair value analysis to the preliminary purchase price allocation of $10 million, $21 million and negative $27 million to intangible assets, goodwill and property and equipment, respectively. The Company has not finalized the allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of fixed assets, intangibles, or deferred income taxes and is continuing to review all of the working capital acquired and uncertain tax positions. The Company has recognized Goodwill on this transaction primarily as a result of expected synergies of Avintiv, and does not expect Goodwill to be deductible for tax purposes. The following table summarizes the current preliminary allocation of purchase price and the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:


Working capital (a)	$	167
Property and equipment		977
Intangible assets		596
Goodwill		831
Historical Avintiv debt assumed		(53	)
Non-controlling interest		(63	)
Deferred purchase price		(30	)
Other assets and long-term liabilities		(165	)

(a) Includes an $11 million step up of inventory to fair value

The deferred purchase price relates to certain tax claims of Companhia Providência Indústria e Comércio ("Providência") at the time Providência was acquired by Avintiv. If the claims are resolved in the Company's favor, the deferred purchase price will be paid to the legacy Providência shareholders. However, if the Company or Providência incur actual tax liability in respect to these claims, the amount of deferred purchase price will be reduced by the amount of such actual tax liability. The Company will be responsible for any actual tax liability in excess of the deferred purchase price and the cash consideration deposited into escrow.

Unaudited pro forma net sales were $1.7 billion and $5.1 billion for the quarterly period and three quarterly periods ended June 27, 2015, respectively. Unaudited pro forma net losses were $22 million and $30 million for the quarterly period and three quarterly periods ended June 27, 2015, respectively. The unaudited pro forma net sales and net losses assume that the Avintiv acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period.

The unaudited pro forma information presented above is for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Avintiv acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the period, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results. Further, the information reflects only pro forma adjustments for additional interest expense, depreciation, and amortization, net of the applicable income tax effects.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for a business combination (or series of individually immaterial business combinations) completed during the period, including background, timing, and recognized assets and liabilities. The disclosure may include leverage buyout transactions (as applicable).

Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements

4. Accounts Receivable Factoring Agreements

A number of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have entered into factoring agreements to sell certain receivables to unrelated third-party financial institutions. The Company accounts for these transactions in accordance with ASC 860, "Transfers and Servicing" ("ASC 860"). ASC 860 allows for the ownership transfer of accounts receivable to qualify for sale treatment when the appropriate criteria is met, which permits the Company to present the balances sold under the program to be excluded from Accounts receivable, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Receivables are considered sold when (i) they are transferred beyond the reach of the Company and its creditors, (ii) the purchaser has the right to pledge or exchange the receivables, and (iii) the Company has surrendered control over the transferred receivables. In addition, the Company provides no other forms of continued financial support to the purchaser of the receivables once the receivables are sold. The table below summarizes the total amount of accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, sold under these factoring arrangements as of the end of the third fiscal quarter:


		July 2,			September 26,
		2016			2015
Trade receivables sold to financial institutions	$	25		$	-
Net amounts advanced from financial institutions		(21	)		-
Amounts due from financial institutions	$	4		$	-

In addition to the programs described above, the Company has a U.S. based program where certain U.S. based receivables are sold to unrelated third-party financial institutions. There were no amounts outstanding from the financial institutions related to U.S. based programs at July 2, 2016. The fees associated with transfer of receivables for all programs were not material for any of the periods presented.

The Company's senior secured credit facilities consist of $4.2 billion of term loans and a $650 million asset based revolving line of credit. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of July 2, 2016.

During fiscal 2016, the Company has made $390 million of repayments on long-term borrowings using existing liquidity.

Term Loans

In October 2015, the Company entered into an incremental assumption agreement to increase the commitments under the existing term loan credit agreement by $2.1 billion. The incremental assumption agreement provided for that incremental term loan to bear interest at LIBOR plus 3.00% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%, to mature in October 2022 and to be subject to customary amortization. The proceeds from the incremental term loan, in addition to the 6% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes, were used to finance the Avintiv acquisition. The Company recognized $11 million of debt discount and $25 million of deferred financing fees related to this assumption agreement.

In June 2016, the Company entered into an incremental assumption agreement and amendment to lower the interest rates under certain of the existing term loans. The term loan maturing in January 2021 now bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. The term loan maturing in October 2022 now bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 1.00%. Additionally, if the Company is able to achieve a first lien secured leverage ratio below 3.0 to 1.0, the interest rate on the term loan maturing in October 2022 will be reduced to LIBOR plus 2.50%. All other terms remain unchanged. The term loans are considered to be a loan syndication and as a result, a portion of the existing term loans were modified and a portion were considered to be extinguished. The Company recorded $4 million to loss on debt extinguishment, reflecting the write-off of deferred financing fees and debt discounts, net of amortization associated with the portion of the debt that was considered extinguished. The Company also recognized $2 million of debt discount related to the assumption agreement executed in June 2016.

Debt discounts and deferred financing fees are presented net of Long-term debt, less the current portion on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized to Interest expense through maturity.

6% Second Priority Senior Secured Notes

In October 2015, the Company issued $400 million of 6% second priority senior secured notes due October 2022. Interest on these notes is due semi-annually in April and October. The proceeds from these notes, in addition to the incremental term loan, were used to finance the Avintiv acquisition. The Company recognized $5 million of deferred financing fees related to this debt issuance that will be amortized to Interest expense through maturity.

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measurements

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors. The Company may use derivative financial instruments to help manage market risk and reduce the exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currencies. These financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the Company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge, or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. To the extent hedging relationships are found to be effective, as determined by FASB guidance, changes in the fair value of the derivatives are offset by changes in the fair value of the related hedged item and recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Management believes hedge effectiveness is evaluated properly in preparation of the financial statements.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges

The primary purposes of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the potential changes in value associated with the changes in foreign currencies on anticipated future foreign cash movements for certain jurisdictions. The changes in fair value of these derivative contracts are recognized in other income, net, on our consolidated statements of operations and are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany loan. These contracts are typically entered into and settled within the given reporting period.

Cash Flow Hedging Strategy

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The categorization of the framework used to price these derivative instruments is considered a Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

In February 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt. The agreement swapped the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed three-year rate of 2.355%, with an effective date in May 2016 and expiration in May 2019. In June 2013, the Company elected to settle this derivative instrument and received $16 million as a result of this settlement. The offset is included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is being amortized to Interest expense from May 2016 through May 2019, the original term of the swap agreement.

In March 2014, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt. The agreement swaps the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed three-year rate of 2.59%, with an effective date in February 2016 and expiration in February 2019.

In September 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage cash flow variability associated with $1 billion of outstanding variable rate term loan debt from future interest rate volatility. The agreement swaps the greater of a three-month variable LIBOR contract or 1.00% for a fixed annual rate of 1.7185%, with an effective date in December 2015 and expiration in June 2019.

The Company records the changes in fair value of derivative instruments designated for hedge accounting as prescribed in ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging, in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and Deferred income taxes. All other changes in derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments flow through the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when impairment indicators are present. The assets are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value. These assets include primarily our definite lived and indefinite lived intangible assets, including Goodwill and our property, plant, and equipment. The Company reviews Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment as of the first day of the fourth fiscal quarter each year, and more frequently if impairment indicators exist. The Company determined Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets were not impaired in our annual fiscal 2015 assessment. As a result of the segment reorganization that occurred during the January 2, 2016 quarter, the Company conducted the qualitative assessment and determined it was more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded the carrying amount as of the measurement date. No impairment indicators were identified in the current quarter.

Included in the following table are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of July 2, 2016 and September 26, 2015, along with the impairment loss recognized on the fair value measurement during the period:


	As of July 2, 2016

Total	$	—	$	—	$	3,639	$	3,639	$	2

The Company's financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and long-term debt. The fair value of our marketable long-term indebtedness exceeded book value by $75 million as of July 2, 2016. The Company's long-term debt fair values were determined using Level 2 inputs as other significant observable inputs were not available.

Income Taxes [Abstract]
Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate was 20% and 41% for the quarterly period ended July 2, 2016 and June 27, 2015, respectively, and 29% and 28% for the three quarterly periods ended July 2, 2016 and June 27, 2015, respectively. Within the quarter the effective tax rate was favorably impacted by one-time U.S. permanent items. In addition to these items, our year-to-date effective tax rate was lower than our statutory rate due to favorable foreign rate differentials and the U.S. research and development credit, partially offset by state taxes and foreign income taxed in the U.S.

Basic And Diluted Net Income Per Share

12. Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method and the if-converted method. For purposes of this calculation, stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net income per share when their effect is dilutive.

The following tables and discussion provide a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net income per share computations.

Guarantor And Non-Guarantor Financial Information

15. Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Berry Plastics Corporation ("Issuer") has notes outstanding which are fully, jointly, severally, and unconditionally guaranteed by its parent, Berry Plastics Group, Inc. (for purposes of this Note 15, "Parent") and substantially all of Issuer's domestic subsidiaries. Separate narrative information or financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries have not been included because they are 100% owned by Parent and the guarantor subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee such debt on a joint and several basis. A guarantee of a guarantor subsidiary of the securities will terminate upon the following customary circumstances: the sale of the capital stock of such guarantor if such sale complies with the indentures, the designation of such guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary, the defeasance or discharge of the indenture, as a result of the holders of certain other indebtedness foreclosing on a pledge of the shares of a guarantor subsidiary or if such guarantor no longer guarantees certain other indebtedness of the issuer. The guarantees of the guarantor subsidiaries are also limited as necessary to prevent them from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law and guarantees guaranteeing subordinated debt are subordinated to certain other of the Company's debts. Parent also guarantees the Issuer's term loans and revolving credit facilities. The guarantor subsidiaries guarantee our term loans and are co-borrowers under our revolving credit facility. Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for the Parent, Issuer, guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Issuer and guarantor financial information includes all of our domestic operating subsidiaries; our non-guarantor subsidiaries include our foreign subsidiaries and the unrestricted subsidiaries under the Issuer's indentures. The Parent uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the Issuer in the Condensed Consolidating Supplemental Financial Statements. The Issuer uses the equity method to account for its ownership in the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. All consolidating entries are included in the eliminations column along with the elimination of intercompany balances.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Policy)	9 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements (Policy)	Jul. 02, 2016
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract]
Inventory	Inventory In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory to simplify the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory, excluding inventory measured using last-in, first out or the retail inventory method. Under the new standard, inventory should be at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016. Its effect did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
Business Combinations	Business Combinations In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments which requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. Entities should present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the footnotes the portion of the measurement period adjustment recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this guidance, effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016. We will continue to consider the impact of such guidance on our recording of the AVINTIV, Inc. business combination.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. This update requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as non-current in a statement of financial position. The update is effective for financial periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, early application is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective at the beginning of fiscal 2016, on a prospective basis, resulting in a $175 million reclassification of our net current deferred tax asset to the net long-term deferred tax liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Leases	Leases In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new standard, the lessee of an operating lease will be required to do the following: 1) recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the statement of financial position, 2) recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis, and 3) classify all cash payments within operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Companies will be required to adopt this standard on a modified retrospective approach, and amendments in this guidance are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.
Stock Compensation	Stock Compensation In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, as part of its Simplification Initiative. The new guidance will require all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. It also will allow an employer to repurchase more of an employee's shares than it can today for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election for forfeitures as they occur. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance.

- Definition

Disclosure of accounting policy for leasing arrangements (both lessor and lessee). This disclosure may address (1) lease classification (that is, operating versus capital), (2) how the term of a lease is determined (for example, the circumstances in which a renewal option is considered part of the lease term), (3) how rental revenue or expense is recognized for a lease that contains rent escalations, (4) an entity's accounting treatment for deferred rent, including that which arises from lease incentives, rent abatements, rent holidays, or tenant allowances (5) an entity's accounting treatment for contingent rental payments and (6) an entity's policy for reviewing, at least annually, the residual values of sales-type and direct-finance leases. The disclosure also may indicate how the entity accounts for its capital leases, leveraged leases or sale-leaseback transactions.
