Who buys packaging in KwaZulu-Natal
KwaZulu-Natal combines the busy Port of Durban with strong farming and manufacturing. Industrial areas such as Prospecton, Jacobs, Pinetown and New Germany host factories, warehouses and many packaging suppliers, while Richards Bay handles bulk exports and has its own industrial zone. Sugar on the North and South Coast, forestry and paper, vegetables, and food and beverage producers all need packaging. Importers and exporters in Durban buy cartons, pallet wrap and protective packaging for containers, and online shops ship parcels from Umhlanga and Pietermaritzburg. The humid coast, with its warm summers, puts pressure on board and tape, so stronger materials and dry storage matter for stock waiting to ship.
Typical packaging prices requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: pallet wrap, corner boards, tape and strapping priced per load shipped
- Factories and manufacturers: cartons, film and pallet wrap priced per finished unit and per pallet
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: containers, boxes and bags budgeted per meal, cake or loaf sold
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: fruit cartons, punnets, crates and pallet wrap priced per tonne packed
- 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
- Households and offices moving: cartons, tape and wrap priced per room, or per household moved
