Who buys packaging in Free State

Sasolburg is a chemicals and industrial centre needing drums, containers and protective packaging, while Bloemfontein and Welkom have food producers, retailers, wholesalers and online sellers. Cherries and other fruit grown near Ficksburg and Clarens add seasonal cartons and trays. Some suppliers are based in Bloemfontein, and many orders come from Gauteng, which is close by road.
