Who buys packaging in Cape Town
Cape Town is a large port city with food, beverage, fishing, wine, cosmetics and clothing industries, and a growing group of online sellers. Industrial areas such as Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Maitland and Airport Industria hold manufacturers, warehouses and many of the packaging suppliers and box makers in the region. Exporters ship fresh produce, wine and processed food through the harbour and airport, using cartons, trays, pallet wrap and strapping. Restaurants and food sellers buy takeaway containers and paper bags, while retailers and online shops use courier bags, mailers and gift boxes. Strong southeaster winds in summer and winter damp are worth bearing in mind when storing and wrapping goods.
Typical packaging tape requests in the area come from:
- Online shops and ecommerce: sealing outbound parcels, with printed tape to show the shop name on every box
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: closing cartons of dry goods and bakery boxes, with cold-grade tape for fridges
- Shops and retail stores: sealing returns, stock cartons and online order boxes in the back room
- Factories and manufacturers: closing cartons on packing lines, and bundling parts or sealing film edges
