Who buys packaging in Durban
Durban is the busiest port in the country, so a great deal of packaging here is built around export and import freight. Manufacturers, food processors, chemical and plastics firms, and distributors in Prospecton, Jacobs, Pinetown and the southern basin ship in cartons, pallet wrap and strapping. Online shops and retailers across the metro need courier bags, mailers and gift boxes, while the sugar and agricultural trade along the coast uses sacks, bags and bulk packs. Humid summers and salty air can weaken board, so many buyers ask for moisture-resistant cartons. Packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the industrial areas of the south and west and deliver across the metro.
Typical food packaging requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: food-grade film, trays and lidding sealed on a line for packed ready meals
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: cold chain cartons, insulated liners and sealed trays for chilled food distribution
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: trays, tubs, wraps and greaseproof paper for daily service and counter sales
- Online shops and ecommerce: leakproof tubs, insulated bags and sealed trays for home delivered meals and meal prep
- Shops and retail stores: pre-packed trays, deli tubs and shrink wrapped portions for supermarket shelves and cold rooms
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: punnets, trays and sealed bags for fresh produce and farm stall goods
- Households and offices moving: clean containers and zip bags to pack pantry food before a move
