Who buys packaging in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape's packaging demand centres on the motor industry, ports and farming. Gqeberha and Kariega host vehicle plants and a large group of component makers, with the Coega special economic zone and port adding export and logistics work. East London has its own motor and industrial base, and its harbour handles trade. Citrus in the Sundays River Valley, pineapples near Port Alfred and chicory, wool and livestock inland are packed for local and export markets. Component makers and exporters need returnable and protective packaging, pallet wrap and strong cartons. Several suppliers are based in Gqeberha and East London, with other stock from Cape Town and Gauteng. Windy coastal conditions affect outdoor loading.
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
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: fruit cartons, punnets, crates and pallet wrap for packhouses and markets
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: takeaway containers, paper bags, deli tubs and food-safe wrap for daily service
- Shops and retail stores: carrier bags, gift boxes, tissue and display cartons for the shop
