Income Taxes (Notes)	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax expense was $3,940 and $2,232 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in income tax expense is attributable to a higher consolidated annual effective tax rate forecasted for fiscal 2016 as compared to fiscal 2015. We are forecasting a higher annual effective tax rate in fiscal 2016 due to an expected decrease to, and less favorable geographical mix of, consolidated pre-tax earnings combined with an increase in losses in certain jurisdictions where we are unable to recognize a tax benefit in the current period. We also have losses in certain jurisdictions where we are able to recognize a tax benefit in the current period, but for which the cash benefit is expected to be realized in a future period. On October 1, 2013, we made changes to our corporate entity operating structure, including transferring our intellectual property among certain of our subsidiaries, primarily to align our corporate entities with our evolving operations and business model. The transfer of assets occurred between wholly owned legal entities within the Cimpress group that are based in different tax jurisdictions. As the impact of the transfer was the result of an intra-entity transaction, any resulting gain or loss and immediate tax impact on the transfer is eliminated and not recognized in the consolidated financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The transferor entity recognized a gain on the transfer of assets that was not subject to income tax in its local jurisdiction. However, the recipient entity will receive a tax benefit associated with the future amortization of the fair market value of the intellectual property received, which for tax purposes will occur over a period of five years in accordance with the applicable tax laws. As of September 30, 2015, we had a net liability for unrecognized tax benefits included in the balance sheet of approximately $5,248, including accrued interest of $363. We recognize interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes. Of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, approximately $2,341 will reduce the effective tax rate if recognized. It is reasonably possible that a further reduction in unrecognized tax benefits in the range of $1,400 to $1,700 may occur within the next twelve months related to an audit settlement or the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations. We believe we have appropriately provided for all tax uncertainties. We conduct business in a number of tax jurisdictions and, as such, are required to file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions globally. The years 2012 through 2015 remain open for examination by the United States Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and the years 2006 through 2015 remain open for examination in the various states and non-US tax jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. Cimpress USA Incorporated received Notices of Assessment from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue ("DOR") for the tax years 2006-2008 and 2010-2011. The Notices contain adjustments to taxable income for these years. The issue in dispute is whether the DOR has the right to impute royalty income to Cimpress USA Incorporated in the years at issue associated with the use of certain intangible property by Vistaprint Limited, even though that intangible property was transferred for a lump-sum payment to Vistaprint Limited in an earlier year that is closed to adjustment by virtue of the governing statute of limitations. In July 2014, we filed an Application for Abatement with the DOR Office of Appeals to appeal the DOR’s findings; however, our appeal was denied. In August 2014, we filed a petition to have our case heard by the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board. The hearing for our case is set to begin in December 2015. We intend to contest these assessments to the fullest extent possible. We believe that our income tax reserves are adequately maintained taking into consideration both the technical merits of our tax return positions and ongoing developments in our income tax audits. However, the final determination of our tax return positions, if audited, is uncertain, and there is a possibility that final resolution of these matters could have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.
