Who buys packaging in Durban
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.

Typical glass jars requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: bulk jars for sauces, relish and salsa filled on a small production line
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: jars on shrink-wrapped pallets with layer pads for distributors and fillers
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: lug cap jars for jam, pickles and sauces, and small screw-top jars for spices
