Who buys packaging in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape's packaging demand centres on the motor industry, ports and farming. Gqeberha and Kariega host vehicle plants and a large group of component makers, with the Coega special economic zone and port adding export and logistics work. East London has its own motor and industrial base, and its harbour handles trade. Citrus in the Sundays River Valley, pineapples near Port Alfred and chicory, wool and livestock inland are packed for local and export markets. Component makers and exporters need returnable and protective packaging, pallet wrap and strong cartons. Several suppliers are based in Gqeberha and East London, with other stock from Cape Town and Gauteng. Windy coastal conditions affect outdoor loading.
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
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: jars for farm-stall honey, chutney, jam and dried herbs sold at markets
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: lug cap jars for jam, pickles and sauces, and small screw-top jars for spices
- Shops and retail stores: decorative storage jars and candle jars for gift and homeware shelves
