Who buys packaging in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest and least populated province, and its packaging demand follows mining and farming. Iron ore and manganese operations near Kathu, Kuruman and Postmasburg buy protective packaging, pallet wrap and bags, while Kimberley is a service and trading centre. Along the Orange River near Upington, table grapes, dates and raisins are packed in cartons and punnets for export, with the grape season placing heavy pressure on supply. Springbok and the west coast add some fishing and mineral work. The province has few local packaging suppliers, so most orders come from Gauteng, the Free State or Cape Town and travel very long distances. Early ordering is important.
Typical glass jars requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: jars for farm-stall honey, chutney, jam and dried herbs sold at markets
- 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
- Shops and retail stores: decorative storage jars and candle jars for gift and homeware shelves
- Online shops and ecommerce: jars with lids for honey, preserves and candles packed to post in padded cartons
