Who buys packaging in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Northern Cape, where irrigation supports table grapes, raisins, dates and other crops. Packhouses and dried fruit producers use export cartons, punnets, liners and pallet wrap, and fruit is trucked to Cape Town for export. Wine and other food related businesses buy bottles, cartons and food packaging. Solar and mining related projects in the wider region add demand for heavy packaging. Local shops and wholesalers buy bags and cartons. Packaging suppliers are mostly in Cape Town, Bloemfontein or Gauteng, so deliveries cover very long distances, and harvest season demands early ordering.
Typical food packaging requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: punnets, trays and sealed bags for fresh produce and farm stall goods
- 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
- Shops and retail stores: pre-packed trays, deli tubs and shrink wrapped portions for supermarket shelves and cold rooms
