Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	S UMMARY OF S IGNIFICANT A CCOUNTING P OLICIES Nature of Business . Silgan Holdings Inc., or Silgan, and its subsidiaries conduct business in three segments: dispensing and specialty closures; metal containers; and custom containers. Our dispensing and specialty closures segment manufactures and sells dispensing systems and specialty closures for food, beverage, health care, garden, home, personal care, fragrance and beauty products. Our metal containers segment is engaged in the manufacture and sale of steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food and general line products. Our custom containers segment manufactures and sells custom designed plastic containers for personal care, food, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, pet food and care, agricultural, automotive and marine chemical products. Our dispensing and specialty closures segment has operating facilities in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Our metal containers segment has operating facilities in North America, Europe and Asia. Our custom containers segment has operating facilities in North America. Basis of Presentation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silgan and our subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Generally, our subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency. The principal functional currency for our foreign operations is the Euro. Balance sheet accounts of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses resulting from operating transactions denominated in foreign currencies that are not designated as a hedge are generally included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Effective with the first quarter of 2021, we renamed our closures segment as our dispensing and specialty closures segment and our plastic containers segment as our custom containers segment, in each case to better capture the evolving nature of their products and our ongoing strategic focus. Each of these segments continues to consist of the same operations as prior to it being renamed. Cash and Cash Equivalents . Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. As a result of our cash management system, checks issued for payment may create negative book balances. Checks outstanding in excess of related book balances are included in trade accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in outstanding checks are included in financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to treat them as, in substance, cash advances. Inventories . Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost for inventories of certain portions of our dispensing and specialty closures segment and of domestic inventories of our metal containers segment is principally determined on the last-in, first-out basis, or LIFO. Cost for inventories of certain portions of our dispensing and specialty closures segment and of our custom containers segment is principally determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or FIFO. Cost for inventories of certain portions of our dispensing and specialty closures segment and of foreign inventories of our metal containers segment is principally determined on the average cost method. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net . Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and betterments that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Design and development costs for molds, dies and other tools that we do not own and that will be used to produce products that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. The principal estimated useful lives are 35 years for buildings and range between 3 years to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net . We review goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of July 1 of each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We determined that goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired in our annual assessment performed during the third quarter. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Customer relationships have a weighted average life of approximately 21 years. Other definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trade names and technology know-how and have a weighted average life of approximately 8 years. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets . We assess long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment exists if the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows generated by the assets is less than the carrying value of the assets. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is then measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying amount. Hedging Instruments . All derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or other comprehensive loss, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a qualifying hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We generally limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these derivative financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period. We also utilize certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting result in the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Income Taxes . We account for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment of such change. No provision is made for U.S. income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. The minimum tax on foreign earnings, more commonly referred to as the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, is accounted for as a component of current income tax expense. Revenue Recognition . Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of rigid packaging products to customers. We recognize revenue at the amount we expect to be entitled to in exchange for promised goods for which we have transferred control to customers. If the consideration agreed to in a contract includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. Generally, revenue is recognized at a point in time for standard promised goods at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, and revenue is recognized over time in cases where we produce promised goods with no alternative use to us and for which we have an enforceable right of payment for production completed. The production cycle for customer contracts subject to over time recognition is generally completed in less than one month. Due to the short-term duration of our production cycle, we have elected the practical expedient permitting us to exclude disclosure regarding our performance obligations with respect to outstanding purchase orders. We have elected to treat shipping and handling costs after the control of goods have been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost. Sales and similar taxes that are imposed on our sales and collected from customers are excluded from revenues. Stock-Based Compensation . We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect under which we have issued stock options and restricted stock units to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. A restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of our common stock at a future date. Unvested restricted stock units that have been issued do not have voting rights and may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements . In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends existing guidance for certain leases by lessees. This amendment required us to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. We adopted this amendment on January 1, 2019, using the transition method which allowed us to recognize the effects of applying this amendment as a cumulative effect to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. We elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for this amendment, which did not require us to reassess whether other contracts contain leases and allowed us to carryforward our lease classifications determined under the previous guidance. In addition, we elected to retain our previously determined assumptions concerning options to extend or terminate our leases. As a result of the adoption of this amendment, we reduced retained earnings by $0.6 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note 11 for further information. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the guidance on the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2020, using the transition method which allowed us to recognize the effects of applying this standard as a cumulative effect to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. As a result of the adoption of this standard, we reduced retained earnings by $0.7 million as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
RATIONALIZATION CHARGES	R ATIONALIZATION C HARGES We continually evaluate cost reduction opportunities across each of our segments, including rationalizations of our existing facilities through plant closings and downsizings. We use a disciplined approach to identify opportunities that generate attractive cash returns. Rationalization charges by segment for each of the years ended December 31 were as follows: 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in thousands) Dispensing and Specialty Closures $ 5,806 $ 5,759 $ 6,562 Metal Containers 8,873 9,905 49,425 Custom Containers 331 367 364 $ 15,010 $ 16,031 $ 56,351 In June 2019, we announced a footprint optimization plan for our metal containers segment, which included the closing of our metal container manufacturing facilities in Mt. Vernon, Missouri and Waupun, Wisconsin in the fourth quarter of 2019. These plant closings, in conjunction with the prior ratification of a new labor agreement at our Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin metal container manufacturing facility that provided for the withdrawal for that facility from the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan, or the Central States Pension Plan, resulted in our complete withdrawal from the Central States Pension Plan. We estimate net rationalization charges for this plan of $3.5 million for the plant closings and $62.0 million for the withdrawal from the Central States Pension Plan. We recorded total rationalization charges for this plan of $1.3 million, $4.1 million and $46.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Rationalization charges in 2019 were largely to recognize the present value of the estimated withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan. Remaining expenses and cash expenditures for the plant closings are not expected to be significant. Remaining expenses for the accretion of interest for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to average approximately $1.0 million per year and be recognized annually through 2040, and remaining cash expenditures for the withdrawal liability related to the Central States Pension Plan are expected to be approximately $3.1 million annually through 2040. Rationalization charges for the year ended December 31, 2019 for the dispensing and specialty closures segment were primarily related to the announced shutdown in the first quarter of 2019 of the Torello, Spain metal closures manufacturing facility. Activity in reserves for our rationalization plans was as follows: Employee Plant Non-Cash Total (Dollars in thousands) Balance as of January 1, 2019 $ 130 $ 1,482 $ — $ 1,612 Charged to expense 49,496 1,336 5,519 56,351 Utilized and currency translation (6,811) (1,920) (5,519) (14,250) Balance at December 31, 2019 42,815 898 — 43,713 Charged to expense 8,525 2,296 5,210 16,031 Utilized and currency translation (10,335) (2,639) (5,210) (18,184) Balance at December 31, 2020 41,005 555 — 41,560 Charged to expense 8,048 1,882 5,080 15,010 Utilized and currency translation (7,963) (2,280) (5,080) (15,323) Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 41,090 $ 157 $ — $ 41,247 Non-cash asset write-downs were the result of comparing the carrying value of certain production related equipment to their fair value using estimated future discounted cash flows, a Level 3 fair value measurement (see Note 10 for information regarding a Level 3 fair value measurement).

B ANK C REDIT A GREEMENT On March 24, 2017, we completed an amendment and restatement of our previous senior secured credit facility. We subsequently entered into three amendments to our amended and restated senior secured credit facility, as so amended, the Credit Agreement, including most recently on November 9, 2021 and February 1, 2021. The amendments to the Credit Agreement in 2021: • provided us with additional flexibility to, among other things, (i) issue new senior secured notes guaranteed by our U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement and (ii) pursue our strategic initiatives; • extended the maturity dates for revolving loans and term loans under the Credit Agreement by more than three years; • provided us with $1.0 billion of new term loans which were used to refinance (i) all of our remaining outstanding term loans ($400.0 million) which had been used to fund the purchase price for our acquisition of the Albéa Dispensing Business in 2020 and (ii) outstanding revolving loans ($600.0 million) which had been used to fund the purchase price for our three acquisitions completed in 2021; and • increased our multi-currency revolving loan facility to $1.5 billion from $1.2 billion. The November 2021 amendment to the Credit Agreement also amended the definition of applicable margin to provide separate margin schedules for term loans, on the one hand, and revolving loans and swingline loans, on the other hand. The applicable margins for term loans and for revolving loans and swingline loans will be reset quarterly after March 31, 2022 using the applicable margin schedule based on our Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The range for the applicable margin for term loans is 0.25 percent to 0.75 percent for Base Rate Loans and 1.25 percent to 1.75 percent for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Transitioned RFR Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement), and the range for the applicable margin for revolving loans and swingline loans is 0.00 percent to 0.50 percent for U.S. dollar-denominated Base Rate Loans and Canadian dollar-denominated Canadian Prime Rate Loans, 1.00 percent to 1.50 percent for Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Transitioned RFR Loans and CDOR Rate Loans (each as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 1.0326 percent to 1.5326 percent for revolving loans maintained as Initial RFR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement). Revolving loans under the Credit Agreement generally may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed from time to time until November 9, 2026, the maturity date for our multi-currency revolving loan facility under the Credit Agreement. Proceeds from revolving loans may be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes (including acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividends, stock repurchases and refinancings and repayments of other debt). The current outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement ($1.0 billion principal amount) mature on November 9, 2027 and are repayable in installments as follows: $50.0 million on September 30, 2023, $100.0 million on each of December 31, 2024, 2025 and 2026 and $650.0 million on November 9, 2027. In 2021, we repaid $900.0 million of outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement which had been borrowed in June 2020 to fund the purchase price for our acquisition of the Albéa Dispensing Business, using proceeds of $400.0 million from the new term loans borrowed in connection with the November 2021 amendment to the Credit Agreement and $500.0 million from our 1.4% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 issued in February 2021. In February 2020, we repaid all outstanding U.S. term loans ($760.0 million aggregate principal amount) and Canadian term loans (Cdn $6.1 million aggregate principal amount) under the Credit Agreement at that time with proceeds received from our issuances of an additional $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4⅛% Senior Notes due 2028 and €500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2¼% Senior Notes due 2028 and with revolving loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand. During 2019, we repaid $40.0 million of U.S. term loans and Cdn $24.0 million of Canadian term loans under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain mandatory repayment provisions, including requirements to prepay loans with proceeds in excess of certain amounts received from certain assets sales. Generally, mandatory repayments are applied to the term loans and applied first to the next two scheduled amortization payments which are due on December 31 of the year of such mandatory repayment and the next succeeding year (or, if no such payment is due on December 31 of such year, to the payment due on December 31 of the immediately succeeding year or of the next succeeding year in which a payment is to be made) and, to the extent in excess thereof, pro rata to the remaining installments of the term loans. Voluntary prepayments of term loans may be applied to any tranche of term loans at our discretion and are applied to the scheduled amortization payments in direct order of maturity. Amounts repaid under the term loans may not be reborrowed. The Credit Agreement also provides us with an uncommitted multi-currency incremental loan facility for up to U.S. $1.25 billion (which amount may be increased as provided in the Credit Agreement), which may take the form of one or more incremental term loan facilities under the Credit Agreement, increased commitments under the revolving loan facility under the Credit Agreement and/or incremental indebtedness in the form of secured loans and/or notes, subject to certain limitations. The uncommitted incremental loan facility provides, among other things, that any incremental loan borrowing shall: • be denominated in a single currency, either in U.S. Dollars, Euros, Pounds Sterling or Canadian Dollars; • be in a minimum aggregate amount of at least U.S. $50.0 million; • have a maturity date no earlier than the maturity date for term loans under the Credit Agreement and a weighted average life to maturity of no less than the weighted average life to maturity of term loans under the Credit Agreement; and • be used by us and certain of our foreign subsidiaries for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to finance acquisitions and refinance any indebtedness assumed as a part of such acquisitions, to refinance or repurchase debt as permitted and to pay outstanding revolving loans under the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had term loan borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement of $1.0 billion and $900.0 million, respectively, and we had no revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement. At December 31, 2021, the margin for term loans maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans and Transitioned RFR Loans was 1.50 percent and the margin for term loans maintained as Base Rate Loans was 0.50 percent. At December 31, 2021, the margin for revolving loans maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans, Transitioned RFR Loans and CDOR Rate Loans was 1.25 percent, the margin for revolving loans maintained as Initial RFR Loans was 1.2826 percent and the margin for revolving loans maintained as Base Rate Loans and Canadian Prime Rate loans was 0.25 percent. As of December 31, 2021, the interest rate on term loans under the Credit Agreement was 1.68 percent. The Credit Agreement provides for the payment of a commitment fee ranging from 0.20 percent to 0.30 percent per annum on the daily average unused portion of commitments available under the revolving loan facility (0.25 percent at December 31, 2021). The commitment fee will be reset quarterly after March 31, 2022 based upon our Total Net Leverage Ratio as provided in the Credit Agreement. We may utilize up to a maximum of $125.0 million of our multi-currency revolving loan facility under the Credit Agreement for letters of credit as long as the aggregate amount of borrowings of Revolving Loans under the multi-currency revolving loan facility and letters of credit do not exceed the amount of the commitment under such multi-currency revolving loan facility. The Credit Agreement provides for payment to the applicable lenders of a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable margin in effect for Revolving Loans under the multi-currency revolving loan facility, calculated on the stated amount of such letter of credit, and to the issuers of letters of credit of a fronting fee of the greater of (x) $500 per annum and (y) 0.25 percent per annum calculated on the aggregate stated amount of such letters of credit, in each case for their stated duration. For 2021, 2020 and 2019, the weighted average annual interest rate paid on term loans under the Credit Agreement was 1.7 percent, 2.1 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively; and the weighted average annual interest rate paid on revolving loans under the Credit Agreement was 1.3 percent, 1.9 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements to convert interest rate exposure from variable rates to fixed rates of interest. For 2021, 2020 and 2019, the weighted average annual interest rate paid on term loans under our senior secured credit facilities, after consideration of our interest rate swap agreements, was 2.2 percent, 2.4 percent and 3.6 percent, respectively. See Note 10 which includes a discussion of our interest rate swap agreements. The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by us and our U.S. and Dutch subsidiaries. The stock of substantially all of our U.S. and Dutch subsidiaries and of our Canadian subsidiaries owned by U.S. subsidiaries has been pledged as security to the lenders under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants which limit, subject to certain exceptions, among other things, our ability to incur additional indebtedness; create liens; consolidate, merge or sell assets; make certain advances, investments or loans; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and engage in any business other than the packaging business and certain related businesses. In addition, we are required to meet specified financial covenants consisting of Interest Coverage and Total Net Leverage Ratios, each as defined in the Credit Agreement. We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement. Because we sell metal containers and closures used in the fruit and vegetable packing process, we have seasonal sales. As is common in the packaging industry, we must utilize working capital to build inventory and then carry accounts receivable for some customers beyond the packing season. Due to our seasonal requirements, which generally peak sometime in the summer or early fall, we may incur short-term indebtedness to finance our working capital requirements. As a result of the prepayment of term loans in connection with the November 2021 amendment to the Credit Agreement, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.5 million in 2021 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. As a result of the prepayment of term loans under the Credit Agreement in February 2021, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.9 million in 2021 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. As a result of the prepayment of all term loans under the Credit Agreement in February 2020 that were outstanding at that time, we recorded a pre-tax charge for the loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.5 million in 2020 for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. 1.4% S ENIOR S ECURED N OTES On February 10, 2021, we issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.4% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, or the 1.4% Notes, at 99.945 percent of their principal amount, in a private placement in reliance on Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the sale of the 1.4% Notes were $499.7 million. We used the proceeds from the sale of the 1.4% Notes to prepay $500.0 million of our outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement at that time. We paid the initial purchasers’ discount and offering expenses related to the sale of the 1.4% Notes with cash on hand. The 1.4% Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by our U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The 1.4% Notes are not guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Credit Agreement, any of our non-U.S. subsidiaries or any of our non-wholly owned subsidiaries. The 1.4% Notes and related guarantees are secured by pledges of equity interests, or the Collateral, that are owned by us and by each subsidiary guarantor, to the extent equity interests are also pledged to secure the obligations of U.S. borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The 1.4% Notes will share equally in the Collateral with the Credit Agreement. The guarantee of each such subsidiary guarantor will be released to the extent such subsidiary no longer guarantees the Credit Agreement and in certain other circumstances, and the Collateral pledged by such subsidiary guarantor will also be released upon the release of such subsidiary guarantor’s guarantee. The 1.4% Notes and related guarantees are senior secured obligations of us and the subsidiary guarantors.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS The financial instruments recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable, debt obligations and derivative instruments. Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate their fair market values. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our other significant financial instruments at December 31: 2021 2020 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (Dollars in thousands) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 631,439 $ 631,439 $ 409,481 $ 409,481 Liabilities: Bank debt $ 1,038,862 $ 1,038,862 $ 930,407 $ 930,407 4¾% Notes 300,000 301,890 300,000 304,890 3¼% Notes 739,180 744,133 795,307 806,283 4⅛% Notes 599,200 612,780 599,089 623,280 2¼% Notes 568,600 565,984 611,775 622,481 1.4% Notes 499,771 487,800 — — F AIR V ALUE M EASUREMENTS F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS M EASURED AT F AIR V ALUE GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). GAAP classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into a hierarchy consisting of three levels. Level 1 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs represent unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at December 31, 2021 and 2020 consist of our cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments. We measured the fair value of cash and cash equivalents using Level 1 inputs. We measured the fair value of our derivative instruments using the income approach. The fair value of our derivative instruments reflects the estimated amounts that we would pay or receive based on the present value of the expected cash flows derived from market rates and prices. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within Level 2. F INANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS N OT M EASURED AT F AIR V ALUE Our bank debt, 4¾% Notes, 3¼% Notes, 4⅛% Notes, 2¼% Notes and 1.4% Notes were recorded at historical amounts in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, as we have not elected to measure them at fair value. We measured the fair value of our variable rate bank debt using the market approach based on Level 2 inputs. Fair values of the 4¾% Notes, 3¼% Notes, 4⅛% Notes, 2¼% Notes and 1.4% Notes were estimated based on the quoted market price, a Level 1 input. D ERIVATIVE I NSTRUMENTS AND H EDGING A CTIVITIES We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We generally limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of derivative financial instruments. Our interest rate and natural gas swap agreements are accounted for as cash flow hedges and changes in their fair values are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholder's equity, and reclassified into earnings in future periods when earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows. I NTEREST R ATE S WAP A GREEMENTS We have entered into two U.S. dollar interest rate swap agreements, each for $50.0 million notional principal amount, to manage a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These interest rate swap agreements effectively convert interest rate exposure from variable rates to fixed rates of interest. Under these agreements, we will pay a fixed rate of interest of 2.878 percent and receive floating rates of interest based on the three month LIBOR. These agreements were entered into in 2018, became effective on March 29, 2019 and mature on March 24, 2023. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on interest rate swap agreements is recorded in interest and other debt expense in our Consolidated Statements of Income, and such difference was not significant for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. These agreements are with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The total fair value of our interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was not significant. N ATURAL G AS S WAP A GREEMENTS We have entered into natural gas swap agreements with a major financial institution to manage a portion of our exposure to fluctuations in natural gas prices. The difference between amounts to be paid or received on natural gas swap agreements is recorded in cost of goods sold in our Consolidated Statements of Income and was not significant for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. These agreements are with financial institutions which are expected to fully perform under the terms thereof. The total fair value of our natural gas swap agreements in effect at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was not significant. F OREIGN C URRENCY E XCHANGE R ATE R ISK In an effort to minimize foreign currency exchange rate risk, we have financed acquisitions of foreign operations primarily with borrowings denominated in Euros. In addition, where available, we have borrowed funds in local currency or implemented certain internal hedging strategies to minimize our foreign currency exchange rate risk related to foreign operations, including net investment hedges related to the 3¼% Notes which are Euro denominated. Foreign currency gains (losses) related to our net investment hedges included in accumulated other comprehensive loss were $40.9 million, $(66.2) million and $6.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. C ONCENTRATION OF C REDIT R ISK We derive a significant portion of our revenue from multi-year supply agreements with many of our customers. Aggregate revenues from our three largest customers (Nestlé Food Company, Campbell Soup Company and Del Monte Corporation) accounted for approximately 21.6 percent, 22.2 percent and 23.6 percent of our net sales in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The receivable balances from these customers collectively represented 2.7 percent and 2.6 percent of our trade accounts receivable at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As is common in the packaging industry, we provide extended payment terms to some of our customers due to the seasonality of the vegetable and fruit packing process. Exposure to losses is dependent on each customer’s financial position. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers’ financial condition, and our receivables are generally not collateralized. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which we believe is adequate to cover potential credit losses based on customer credit evaluations, collection history and other information. Accounts receivable are considered past due based on the original due date and write-offs occur only after all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	Dec. 31, 2021
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	C OMMITMENTS AND C ONTINGENCIES We have noncancelable operating leases for office and plant facilities, equipment and automobiles that expire at various dates through 2040. Certain operating leases have renewal options and rent escalation clauses as well as various purchase options. Lease right-of-use assets represent the right to use an underlying asset pursuant to the lease for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement of an arrangement where it is determined at inception that a lease exists. These assets and liabilities are initially recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term calculated using our incremental borrowing rate generally applicable to the location of the lease right-of-use asset, unless an implicit rate is readily determinable. We combine lease and certain non-lease components in determining the lease payments subject to the initial present value calculation. Lease right-of-use assets include upfront lease payments and exclude lease incentives, where applicable. Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that those options will be exercised. Lease expense for operating leases consists of both fixed and variable components. Expense related to fixed lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred, where applicable, and include certain index-based changes in rent, certain non-lease components, such as maintenance and other services provided by the lessor, and other charges included in the lease. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The depreciable life of lease right-of-use assets is generally the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise for such assets. We recognized total lease expense of $86.7 million, $80.3 million and $71.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, primarily related to operating lease costs paid to lessors from operating cash flows. Right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities, a non-cash item, were $73.6 million, $56.7 million and $52.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Operating lease right-of-use assets were recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as other assets, net accrued liabilities other liabilities To a lesser extent, we have certain leases that qualify as finance leases. Finance lease right-of-use assets were recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as property, plant and equipment, net current portion of long term-debt long-term debt The aggregate annual maturities of lease liabilities are as follows (dollars in thousands): Operating Finance Leases Leases 2022 $ 53,029 $ 6,323 2023 48,494 5,640 2024 40,574 29,482 2025 34,282 2,919 2026 26,622 2,972 Thereafter 87,884 42,649 Total lease payments 290,885 89,985 Less imputed interest (49,439) (21,255) Total $ 241,446 $ 68,730 At December 31, 2021, we did not have any significant operating or finance leases that had not commenced. At December 31, 2021, we had noncancelable commitments for capital expenditures in 2022 of $38.1 million. A competition authority in Germany commenced an antitrust investigation in 2015 involving the industry association for metal packaging in Germany and its members, including our metal closures and metal containers subsidiaries in Germany. At the end of April 2018, the European Commission commenced an antitrust investigation involving the metal packaging industry in Europe including our metal closures and metal containers subsidiaries, which should effectively close out the investigation in Germany. Given the current stage of the investigation, we cannot reasonably assess what actions may result from these investigations or estimate what costs we may incur as a result thereof. We are a party to other legal proceedings, contract disputes and claims arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not a party to, and none of our properties are subject to, any pending legal proceedings which could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
RETIREMENT BENEFITS	R ETIREMENT B ENEFITS We sponsor a number of defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans which cover substantially all U.S. employees, other than union employees covered by multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under collective bargaining agreements. Pension benefits are provided based on either a career average, final pay or years of service formula. With respect to certain hourly employees, pension benefits are provided based on stated amounts for each year of service. Our U.S. salaried pension plans are closed to new employees. We also sponsor other postretirement benefits plans, including unfunded defined benefit health care and life insurance plans, which provide postretirement benefits to certain employees. The plans are contributory, with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contain cost sharing features including deductibles and coinsurance.

Pension plans with projected benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted entirely of our international pension benefit plans which are not funded. The projected benefit obligation for our international pension benefit plans was $127.6 million and $140.8 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for all pension benefit plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $896.4 million and $942.6 million, respectively. Pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations in excess of plan assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 consisted entirely of our international pension benefit plans which are not funded. The accumulated benefit obligation for our international pension benefit plans was $122.4 million and $134.9 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The benefits expected to be paid from our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, which reflect future years of service, are as follows (dollars in thousands): Pension Other 2022 $ 44,821 $ 1,462 2023 45,979 1,409 2024 46,895 1,380 2025 47,929 1,324 2026 48,997 1,309 2027-2031 249,809 5,993 $ 484,430 $ 12,877 Our principal domestic pension and other postretirement benefit plans used the following weighted average actuarial assumptions to determine the benefit obligations at December 31: 2021 2020 Discount rate 2.9 % 2.5 % Expected return on plan assets 8.5 % 8.5 % Rate of compensation increase 2.4 % 2.5 % Health care cost trend rate: Assumed for next year 6.2 % 6.2 % Ultimate rate 4.2 % 4.2 % Year that the ultimate rate is reached 2036 2036 Our expected return on plan assets is determined by current and expected asset allocation of plan assets, estimates of future long-term returns on those types of plan assets and historical long-term investment performance. Our international pension benefit plans used a discount rate of 1.4 percent and 1.1 percent as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a rate of compensation increase of 3.5 percent and 3.2 percent to determine the benefit obligation as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

M ULTIEMPLOYER P ENSION P LANS In 2021, we participated in three multiemployer pension plans which provide defined benefits to certain of our union employees. In 2019, we participated in one additional multiemployer plan from which we withdrew completely in June 2019. See Note 4 for further information. The aggregate amount contributed to these plans and charged to pension cost in 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $3.9 million, $3.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. The risks of participating in multiemployer plans are different from the risks of single-employer plans in the following respects: (i) assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; (ii) if a participating employer ceases to contribute to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers; and (iii) if we cease to have an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer plan in which we had been a contributing employer, we may be required to pay to the plan an amount (referred to as a withdrawal liability) based on the underfunded status of the plan and on our historical participation in the plan prior to the cessation of our obligation to contribute. Based on the latest information available, in 2021 we participated in two multiemployer plans with a funded status less than 65 percent. Further information on these multiemployer plans for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 is as follows: Pension Fund EIN/Pension Plan Pension FIP / RP Contributions Surcharge 2021 2020 2021 2020 2019 (Dollars in thousands) Central States, Southeast & Southwest Areas Pension Fund (1) 36-6044243/001 Red (2) Red (2) Implemented $ — $ — $ 1,166 No United Food & Commercial Workers — Local One Pension Fund (3) 16-6144007/001 Red (2) Red (2) Implemented 282 240 245 No IAM National Pension Fund (4) 51-6031295/002 Red Red Implemented 2,767 2,746 2,667 No All Other 869 775 707 Total Contributions $ 3,918 $ 3,761 $ 4,785 ______________________ (1) In 2019, we withdrew completely from this pension fund. See Note 4 for further information. (2) Under the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014, the status of this pension fund was critical and declining, as defined under such Act. (3) The collective bargaining agreement related to this pension fund expires on December 31, 2023. A single company that was making over 80 percent of the contributions for this pension fund filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy during 2018 and withdrew from this pension fund without paying its withdrawal liability. For 2020, the fund actuary for this pension fund projected insolvency for this pension fund in 2026. (4) The applicable collective bargaining agreements related to this pension fund expire at various times through April 30, 2025. Although this pension fund was formally certified in the yellow zone in 2019, the trustees of this pension plan elected voluntarily to place this pension plan in the red zone to take advantage of certain provisions of the Pension Protection Act even though this pension plan had a funded status of 89 percent, 87 percent and 85 percent at the end of 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The “EIN/Pension Plan Number” column provides the Employer Identification Number and the three digit plan number assigned to a plan by the Internal Revenue Service. The most recent Pension Protection Act Zone Status available for 2020 and 2019 is for plan years that ended in each of those years. The zone status is based on information provided to us and other participating employers by each plan and is certified by the plan’s actuary. A plan in the “red” zone has been determined to be in “critical status,” based on criteria established under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and is generally less than 65 percent funded. The “FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented” column indicates whether a rehabilitation plan, as required under the Code to be adopted by plans in the “red” zone, is pending or has been implemented as of the end of the 2020 plan year. The “Surcharge Imposed” column indicates whether our contribution rate for 2020 included an amount in addition to the contribution rate specified in the applicable collective bargaining agreement, as imposed by a plan in “critical status” in accordance with the requirements of the Code. Our contributions to the United Food & Commercial Workers Local One Pension Fund were more than five percent of total contributions made by all employers to this plan, while our contributions to the IAM National Pension Fund were less than five percent of total contributions made by all employers to this plan, as reported by these plans for the year ended December 31, 2020, the most recent plan year available. We do not expect our contributions to these plans for the year ended December 31, 2022 to be significantly different from our contributions for the year ended December 31, 2021. D EFINED C ONTRIBUTION P LANS We also sponsor defined contribution plans covering certain employees. Our contributions to these plans are based upon employee contributions and operating profitability. Contributions charged to expense for these plans for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $15.1 million, $15.2 million and $14.4 million, respectively. P LAN A SSETS I NVESTMENT S TRATEGY The composition of our plan assets has been broadly characterized as a 58 percent/42 percent allocation between equity and debt securities. The equity securities allocation utilizes indexed U.S. equity securities (which constitutes approximately 85 percent of equity securities), with a lesser allocation to indexed international equity securities. The debt securities allocation primarily utilizes indexed investment grade U.S. debt securities. We attempt to mitigate investment risk by regularly rebalancing between equity and debt securities as contributions and benefit payments are made. The weighted average asset allocation for our pension plans at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and target allocation for 2021 was as follows: Target Actual Allocation 2021 2020 Equity securities—U.S. 49 % 47 % 47 % Equity securities—International 9 % 10 % 10 % Debt securities 42 % 41 % 42 % Cash and cash equivalents — 2 % 1 % 100 % 100 % 100 % F AIR V ALUE M EASUREMENTS Our plan assets are primarily invested in commingled funds holding equity and debt securities, which are valued using the Net Asset Value, or NAV, provided by the administrator of the fund. The NAV is based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of shares outstanding. Commingled funds are classified within Level 2 (as described in Note 10) of the fair value hierarchy because the NAV’s are not publicly available. Plan excess cash balances are invested in short term investment funds which include investments in cash, bank notes, corporate notes, government bills and various short-term debt instruments. These typically are commingled funds valued using one dollar for the NAV. These short term funds are also classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value of our plan assets by asset category consisted of the following at December 31: 2021 2020 (Dollars in thousands) Equity securities—U.S. $ 482,381 $ 453,135 Equity securities—International 100,705 94,919 Debt securities 422,570 397,529 Cash and cash equivalents 18,798 10,762 $ 1,024,454 $ 956,345 C ONCENTRATIONS OF C REDIT R ISK As of December 31, 2021, approximately 98 percent of our plan assets were under management by a single investment management company in six individual commingled equity and debt index funds. Of these six funds, four funds held assets individually in excess of ten percent of our total plan assets. E XPECTED C ONTRIBUTIONS Based on current legislation, there are no significant minimum required contributions to our pension benefit plans in 2021. In addition, based on the current funded status of our domestic pension benefit plans we do not expect to make significant contributions to these plans in 2022. However, this estimate may change based on regulatory changes and actual plan asset returns.

Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 were as follows: 2021 2020 (Dollars in thousands) Deferred tax assets: Pension and other postretirement liabilities $ 27,264 $ 30,517 Rationalization and other accrued liabilities 35,678 30,105 AMT and other credit carryforwards 2,278 2,885 Net operating loss carryforwards 49,911 49,882 Other intangible assets 2,307 2,464 Foreign currency translation 37 281 Property, plant and equipment 680 — Inventory and related reserves 2,586 21,584 Long term operating lease liabilities 60,782 54,218 Other 6,596 7,135 Total deferred tax assets 188,119 199,071 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment (257,353) (233,109) Pension and other postretirement liabilities (49,681) (24,316) Other intangible assets (178,955) (187,269) Operating lease right of use assets (58,349) (51,902) Inventory and related reserves (22,172) — Other (8,470) (8,770) Total deferred tax liabilities (574,980) (505,366) Valuation allowance (26,712) (20,624) $ (413,573) $ (326,919) At December 31, 2021, the net deferred tax liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was comprised of long-term deferred tax assets of $21.7 million and long-term deferred tax liabilities of $435.3 million. At December 31, 2020, the net deferred tax liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was comprised of long-term deferred tax assets of $29.1 million and long-term deferred tax liabilities of $356.0 million. Long-term deferred tax assets were classified as other assets, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The valuation allowance in 2021 includes deferred tax assets of $26.7 million resulting from state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased in 2021 by $6.1 million primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to foreign NOLs. At December 31, 2021, we had foreign NOLs of approximately $40.5 million that are available to offset future taxable income. Of that amount, approximately $14.4 million will expire from 2023 to 2032. The remaining portion has no expiration date. At December 31, 2021, we had state tax NOLs of approximately $9.4 million that are available to offset future taxable income and that will expire from 2024 to 2039. We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized taxes as additional income tax expense. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $5.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, accrued for potential interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits recorded in other liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $32.7 million and $36.4 million, respectively, excluding associated tax assets and including the federal tax benefit of state taxes, interest and penalties. Tax assets associated with uncertain tax positions primarily represent our estimate of the potential tax benefits in one tax jurisdiction that could result from the payment of income taxes in another jurisdiction. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had approximately $17.6 million and $17.5 million, respectively, in assets associated with uncertain tax positions recorded in other assets, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits included as other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows: 2021 2020 (Dollars in thousands) Balance at January 1, $ 32,777 $ 38,283 Increase based upon tax positions of current year 425 508 Increase based upon tax positions of a prior year 1,464 487 Increase due to acquisitions — 131 Decrease based upon a lapse in the statute of limitations (5,685) (6,632) Balance at December 31, $ 28,981 $ 32,777 The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized, at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $16.2 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Silgan and its subsidiaries file U.S. Federal income tax returns, as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. We expect the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will complete its review of the 2020 tax year with no change to our filed tax return. We have been accepted into the Compliance Assurance Program for the 2022 tax year which provides for the review by the IRS of tax matters relating to our tax return prior to filing. We are subject to examination by state and local tax authorities generally for the period mandated by statute, with the exception of states where waivers of the statute of limitations have been executed. The earliest open period for a state audit is 2015. Our foreign subsidiaries are generally not subject to examination by tax authorities for periods before 2008, and we have contractual indemnities with third parties with respect to open periods that predate our ownership of certain foreign subsidiaries. Subsequent periods may be examined by the relevant tax authorities. In the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $3.2 million primarily related to tax attributes acquired from and expenses related to certain acquisitions, as we anticipate the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to certain tax matters.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION	S TOCK -B ASED C OMPENSATION The Silgan Holdings Inc. Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, or the Plan, provides for awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. Shares of our common stock issued under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares of our common stock that may be issued in connection with stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards under the Plan shall not exceed 19,200,000 shares. Each award of stock options or stock appreciation rights under the Plan will reduce the number of shares of our common stock available for future issuance under the Plan by the number of shares of our common stock subject to the award. Each award of restricted stock or restricted stock units under the Plan, in contrast, will reduce the number of shares of our common stock available for future issuance under the Plan by two shares for every one restricted share or restricted stock unit awarded. As of December 31, 2021, 3,599,398 shares were available to be awarded under the Plan. We measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses was $20.9 million, $18.8 million and $17.1 million, respectively. R ESTRICTED S TOCK U NITS Restricted stock units issued are generally accounted for as fixed grants and, accordingly, the fair value at the grant date is being amortized ratably over the respective vesting period. The maximum contractual vesting period for restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2021 is five years. Unvested restricted stock units may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock units carry with them the right to receive, upon vesting, dividend equivalents. The table below summarizes restricted stock unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2021: Restricted Weighted Restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2020 1,871,006 29.12 Granted 364,769 38.56 Released (576,232) 28.43 Forfeited (13,200) 30.78 Restricted stock units outstanding at December 31, 2021 1,646,343 31.44 The weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock units granted during 2020 and 2019 was $30.55 and $28.51, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock units released during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $22.2 million, $16.8 million and $37.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, there was approximately $27.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

The custom containers segment manufactures custom designed plastic containers for personal care, food, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, pet food and care, agricultural, automotive and marine chemical products. These segments are strategic business operations that are managed separately to maximize the production, technology and marketing of their packaging product. Our dispensing and specialty closures segment operates in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Our metal containers segment operates primarily in North America and Europe. Our custom containers segment operates in North America. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

Sales of our metal containers segment to Nestlé Food Company accounted for 10.7 percent, 10.5 percent and 11.1 percent of our consolidated net sales in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Sales and income from operations of our metal containers segment and of part of our dispensing and specialty closures segment are dependent, in part, upon the vegetable and fruit harvests in the United States and, to a lesser extent, in a variety of national growing regions in Europe. The size and quality of these harvests varies from year to year, depending in large part upon the weather conditions in applicable regions. Because of the seasonality of the harvests, we have historically experienced higher unit sales volume in the third quarter of our fiscal year and generated a disproportionate amount of our annual income from operations during that quarter.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business . Silgan Holdings Inc., or Silgan, and its subsidiaries conduct business in three segments: dispensing and specialty closures; metal containers; and custom containers. Our dispensing and specialty closures segment manufactures and sells dispensing systems and specialty closures for food, beverage, health care, garden, home, personal care, fragrance and beauty products. Our metal containers segment is engaged in the manufacture and sale of steel and aluminum containers for human and pet food and general line products. Our custom containers segment manufactures and sells custom designed plastic containers for personal care, food, health care, pharmaceutical, household and industrial chemical, pet food and care, agricultural, automotive and marine chemical products. Our dispensing and specialty closures segment has operating facilities in North and South America, Europe and Asia. Our metal containers segment has operating facilities in North America, Europe and Asia. Our custom containers segment has operating facilities in North America.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation . The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Silgan and our subsidiaries. Newly acquired subsidiaries have been included in the consolidated financial statements from their dates of acquisition. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy	Generally, our subsidiaries that operate outside the United States use their local currency as the functional currency. The principal functional currency for our foreign operations is the Euro. Balance sheet accounts of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while revenue and expense accounts are translated at average rates prevailing during the year. Translation adjustments are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains or losses resulting from operating transactions denominated in foreign currencies that are not designated as a hedge are generally included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash and Cash Equivalents	Cash and Cash Equivalents . Cash equivalents represent short-term, highly liquid investments which are readily convertible to cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase. As a result of our cash management system, checks issued for payment may create negative book balances. Checks outstanding in excess of related book balances are included in trade accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in outstanding checks are included in financing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to treat them as, in substance, cash advances.
Inventories	Inventories . Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost for inventories of certain portions of our dispensing and specialty closures segment and of domestic inventories of our metal containers segment is principally determined on the last-in, first-out basis, or LIFO. Cost for inventories of certain portions of our dispensing and specialty closures segment and of our custom containers segment is principally determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or FIFO. Cost for inventories of certain portions of our dispensing and specialty closures segment and of foreign inventories of our metal containers segment is principally determined on the average cost method.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net	Property, Plant and Equipment, Net . Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Major renewals and betterments that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and repairs and maintenance expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Design and development costs for molds, dies and other tools that we do not own and that will be used to produce products that will be sold under long-term supply arrangements are capitalized. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. The principal estimated useful lives are 35 years for buildings and range between 3 years to 20 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the related asset or the life of the lease.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net	Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net . We review goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment as of July 1 of each year and more frequently if circumstances indicate a possible impairment. We determined that goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets were not impaired in our annual assessment performed during the third quarter. Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. Customer relationships have a weighted average life of approximately 21 years. Other definite-lived intangible assets consist primarily of trade names and technology know-how and have a weighted average life of approximately 8 years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets . We assess long-lived assets, including intangible assets with definite lives, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment exists if the estimate of future undiscounted cash flows generated by the assets is less than the carrying value of the assets. If impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is then measured by comparing the fair value of the assets to their carrying amount.
Hedging Instruments	Hedging Instruments . All derivative financial instruments are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair values. Changes in fair values of derivatives are recorded in each period in earnings or other comprehensive loss, depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a qualifying hedge transaction and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. We utilize certain derivative financial instruments to manage a portion of our interest rate and natural gas cost exposures. We generally limit our use of derivative financial instruments to interest rate and natural gas swap agreements. We do not engage in trading or other speculative uses of these derivative financial instruments. For a financial instrument to qualify as a hedge, we must be exposed to interest rate or price risk, and the financial instrument must reduce the exposure and be designated as a hedge. Financial instruments qualifying for hedge accounting must maintain a high correlation between the hedging instrument and the item being hedged, both at inception and throughout the hedged period.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes . We account for income taxes using the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period of enactment of such change. No provision is made for U.S. income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested. The minimum tax on foreign earnings, more commonly referred to as the tax on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, is accounted for as a component of current income tax expense.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition . Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of rigid packaging products to customers. We recognize revenue at the amount we expect to be entitled to in exchange for promised goods for which we have transferred control to customers. If the consideration agreed to in a contract includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount of consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised goods to the customer. Generally, revenue is recognized at a point in time for standard promised goods at the time of shipment when title and risk of loss pass to the customer, and revenue is recognized over time in cases where we produce promised goods with no alternative use to us and for which we have an enforceable right of payment for production completed. The production cycle for customer contracts subject to over time recognition is generally completed in less than one month. Due to the short-term duration of our production cycle, we have elected the practical expedient permitting us to exclude disclosure regarding our performance obligations with respect to outstanding purchase orders. We have elected to treat shipping and handling costs after the control of goods have been transferred to the customer as a fulfillment cost. Sales and similar taxes that are imposed on our sales and collected from customers are excluded from revenues.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation . We currently have one stock-based compensation plan in effect under which we have issued stock options and restricted stock units to our officers, other key employees and outside directors. A restricted stock unit represents the right to receive one share of our common stock at a future date. Unvested
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements . In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends existing guidance for certain leases by lessees. This amendment required us to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. We adopted this amendment on January 1, 2019, using the transition method which allowed us to recognize the effects of applying this amendment as a cumulative effect to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. We elected certain practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for this amendment, which did not require us to reassess whether other contracts contain leases and allowed us to carryforward our lease classifications determined under the previous guidance. In addition, we elected to retain our previously determined assumptions concerning options to extend or terminate our leases. As a result of the adoption of this amendment, we reduced retained earnings by $0.6 million as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. See Note 11 for further information. In June 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that amends the guidance on the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This new standard introduces an approach, based on expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The new approach to estimating credit losses (referred to as the current expected credit losses model) applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables. We adopted this new standard on January 1, 2020, using the transition method which allowed us to recognize the effects of applying this standard as a cumulative effect to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. As a result of the adoption of this standard, we reduced retained earnings by $0.7 million as of January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
