Who buys packaging in Newcastle
Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal is an industrial town with steel and related metal industries, textile and clothing factories, and a long road link to Gauteng along the N11 and N3. Businesses here ship metal products, garments, chemicals and farm produce from the surrounding Amajuba district. They buy strapping, pallet wrap, heavy cartons and protective packaging for freight, while retailers and food sellers in Newcastle, Madadeni and Osizweni need bags, takeaway containers and courier packaging. Many suppliers deliver from Durban, Pietermaritzburg or Gauteng, so planning stock a little ahead pays off. Winters are dry and cold and summers bring heavy storms, so keep board covered during transport.
