Durban is the busiest port in the country, so a great deal of packaging here is built around export and import freight. Manufacturers, food processors, chemical and plastics firms, and distributors in Prospecton, Jacobs, Pinetown and the southern basin ship in cartons, pallet wrap and strapping. Online shops and retailers across the metro need courier bags, mailers and gift boxes, while the sugar and agricultural trade along the coast uses sacks, bags and bulk packs. Humid summers and salty air can weaken board, so many buyers ask for moisture-resistant cartons. Packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the industrial areas of the south and west and deliver across the metro.
