Who buys packaging in George
George is the commercial centre of the Garden Route, with timber and furniture makers, dairy and food producers, and a busy tourism and retail economy. Wood products and furniture from the area need cartons, protective corners, foam and pallet wrap, while dairy and farm producers use tubs, bags and cartons. Businesses in Blanco, Pacaltsdorp and the industrial areas around the airport ship goods along the N2 to Cape Town, Gqeberha and Mossel Bay. Retailers and online sellers buy courier bags and mailers. Most large orders come from Cape Town or Gqeberha, and a few local stockists supply smaller quantities. The coast is mild and often damp, which can soften board.
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
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: trays, tubs, wraps and greaseproof paper for daily service and counter sales
- 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
- Online shops and ecommerce: leakproof tubs, insulated bags and sealed trays for home delivered meals and meal prep
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: cold chain cartons, insulated liners and sealed trays for chilled food distribution
- Households and offices moving: clean containers and zip bags to pack pantry food before a move
