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 tape requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: closing cartons on packing lines, and bundling parts or sealing film edges
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: high volume rolls for carton sealing and export boxes, plus warning tape
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: sealing produce cartons in packhouses where damp and cold affect adhesion
- 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
- Online shops and ecommerce: sealing outbound parcels, with printed tape to show the shop name on every box
