Who buys packaging in Durban
Durban is the busiest port in the country, so a great deal of packaging here is built around export and import freight. Manufacturers, food processors, chemical and plastics firms, and distributors in Prospecton, Jacobs, Pinetown and the southern basin ship in cartons, pallet wrap and strapping. Online shops and retailers across the metro need courier bags, mailers and gift boxes, while the sugar and agricultural trade along the coast uses sacks, bags and bulk packs. Humid summers and salty air can weaken board, so many buyers ask for moisture-resistant cartons. Packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the industrial areas of the south and west and deliver across the metro.
Typical packaging supplies requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: custom cartons, dividers, shrink film, pallet wrap and strapping for finished goods
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: export cartons, pallet wrap, corner boards and tape by the pallet load
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: takeaway containers, paper bags, deli tubs and food-safe wrap for daily service
- Online shops and ecommerce: shipping boxes, courier bags, tape and void fill delivered every month
- Shops and retail stores: carrier bags, gift boxes, tissue and display cartons for the shop
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: fruit cartons, punnets, crates and pallet wrap for packhouses and markets
- Households and offices moving: moving boxes, bubble wrap, tape and wardrobe boxes for a house or office move
