Who buys packaging in Mbombela
Mbombela is the commercial centre of the Lowveld, where citrus, subtropical fruit, macadamias, avocados and timber shape packaging demand. Packhouses in the region use export cartons, fruit trays, liners and pallet wrap, and many ship through Maputo or by road to Durban. Timber and paper related industries around the area ship in bulk, while the city's food manufacturers, wholesalers and shops buy food packaging and retail bags. Online sellers use courier bags and mailer boxes. Packaging suppliers serve the Lowveld from the city's industrial sites and from Gauteng, and orders rise sharply ahead of harvest seasons when lead times stretch.
