Who buys packaging in East London
East London has a port, an industrial development zone near the airport and a long-established motor industry, with vehicle and component plants around Mdantsane and the Sunnyridge and Wilsonia areas. Component makers ship parts in protective packaging, strong cartons and returnable packs, while the port handles motor vehicles, agricultural goods and general cargo that need pallet wrap and strapping. Food processors and dairy producers in the region buy tubs, bags and cartons, and shops and online sellers across the city use courier bags and mailers. Packaging suppliers serve the city from its industrial areas, with larger orders sometimes coming from Gqeberha or Durban. Coastal humidity affects board and tape.
Typical cosmetic packaging requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: bulk tubes, pumps and jars filled on a contract-manufacturing line
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: cartons of empty containers stored on pallets for fillers and brand owners
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: small jars and bottles for infused oils, honey and gourmet extracts sold as gifts
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: bottles and jars for aloe, rooibos and marula oil products made on farms
- Shops and retail stores: boxed serums, creams and perfumes with matching containers for shelf display
- Online shops and ecommerce: small droppers, pumps and tubes plus mailer boxes for skincare sold online
