Takeout Boxes

The demand for SBS paperboard, which is used to make the DQ takeout boxes has significantly increased in the foodservice industry. The paperboard market has tightened up and is causing delays in raw material shipments to manufacturers as well. The DQOC supplier, Southern Champion Tray is working through these challenges, but continued tight supply for these items is expected.
