DUBUQUE CONTAINER COMPANY. Successor of the Dubuque Corrugated Box Company.  In June of 1937 space was leased in the Brunswick Industrial Block (3800 Jackson) and machinery was installed.  Operations began with seven employees making shipping cases to order for Dubuque industries.  Production of folding cartons began in the fall of 1938, and the company changed its name to the Dubuque Container Company.
See: [[ST. REGIS PAPER COMPANY]]


The acquisition of a folding box company provided the company with a product less bulky than corrugated cases.  This increased the sales' radius of the company.  In 1940 the purchase of the United Paper Box Company, located on lower Main Street, made the Dubuque Container Company one of the few firms in the Midwest to manufacture shipping cases, set-up boxes, and folding paper boxes.
