Who buys packaging in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the country's largest commercial centre, and packaging demand here is broad. Wholesalers, food manufacturers, printers and light factories in the southern and eastern industrial areas buy cartons, film and tape by the pallet, while online shops and retailers across the northern suburbs need courier bags, mailer boxes and gift packaging in smaller runs. Soweto and the inner city have many small traders and food vendors who need takeaway containers and paper bags. Gauteng's road network makes it easy to move stock to Pretoria, the East Rand and further afield, and many packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the south and west of the city, so quotes are quick to compare.

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
- Shops and retail stores: pre-packed trays, deli tubs and shrink wrapped portions for supermarket shelves and cold rooms
- Online shops and ecommerce: leakproof tubs, insulated bags and sealed trays for home delivered meals and meal prep
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: trays, tubs, wraps and greaseproof paper for daily service and counter sales
- 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
