Who buys packaging in Cape Town
Cape Town is a large port city with food, beverage, fishing, wine, cosmetics and clothing industries, and a growing group of online sellers. Industrial areas such as Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Maitland and Airport Industria hold manufacturers, warehouses and many of the packaging suppliers and box makers in the region.
