Who buys packaging in Gauteng
Gauteng is the country's biggest packaging market, driven by manufacturers, food processors, distribution centres and online shops. Industrial areas such as Isando, Spartan and Jet Park on the East Rand, Wadeville and Germiston, Midrand and Rosslyn near Pretoria hold factories, warehouses and many box makers and packaging suppliers. Buyers range from large retailers moving pallets to small businesses sending parcels by courier from Soweto, Centurion and the West Rand. Demand covers corrugated cartons, pallet wrap, courier bags, food containers and printed boxes. Because the province sits on the Highveld, products travel inland to the rest of the country and north to neighbouring markets, so strong cartons matter.
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
- Online shops and ecommerce: cartons, courier bags, tape and bubble wrap budgeted at R10 to R30 a parcel
- Shops and retail stores: carrier bags, gift boxes and display cartons priced per sale
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: containers, boxes and bags budgeted per meal, cake or loaf sold
- Households and offices moving: cartons, tape and wrap priced per room, or per household moved
- Cosmetics, candles and health products: bottles, jars and boxes priced per unit and per batch
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: fruit cartons, punnets, crates and pallet wrap priced per tonne packed
