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 packaging prices requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: cartons, film and pallet wrap priced per finished unit and per pallet
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: pallet wrap, corner boards, tape and strapping priced per load shipped
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: fruit cartons, punnets, crates and pallet wrap priced per tonne packed
