Wholesalers, food manufacturers, printers and light factories in the southern and eastern industrial areas buy cartons, film and tape by the pallet, while online shops and retailers across the northern suburbs need courier bags, mailer boxes and gift packaging in smaller runs. Soweto and the inner city have many small traders and food vendors who need takeaway containers and paper bags. Gauteng's road network makes it easy to move stock to Pretoria, the East Rand and further afield, and many packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the south and west of the city, so quotes are quick to compare.
