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 packaging prices requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: fruit cartons, punnets, crates and pallet wrap priced per tonne packed
- 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
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: containers, boxes and bags budgeted per meal, cake or loaf sold
- Shops and retail stores: carrier bags, gift boxes and display cartons priced per sale
- Online shops and ecommerce: cartons, courier bags, tape and bubble wrap budgeted at R10 to R30 a parcel
