Who buys packaging in George
George is the commercial centre of the Garden Route, with timber and furniture makers, dairy and food producers, and a busy tourism and retail economy. Wood products and furniture from the area need cartons, protective corners, foam and pallet wrap, while dairy and farm producers use tubs, bags and cartons. Businesses in Blanco, Pacaltsdorp and the industrial areas around the airport ship goods along the N2 to Cape Town, Gqeberha and Mossel Bay. Retailers and online sellers buy courier bags and mailers. Most large orders come from Cape Town or Gqeberha, and a few local stockists supply smaller quantities. The coast is mild and often damp, which can soften board.
Typical packaging tape requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: closing cartons on packing lines, and bundling parts or sealing film edges
- 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
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: sealing produce cartons in packhouses where damp and cold affect adhesion
- Online shops and ecommerce: sealing outbound parcels, with printed tape to show the shop name on every box
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: high volume rolls for carton sealing and export boxes, plus warning tape
- Households and offices moving: thick rolls for sealing moving boxes, plus a tape gun to speed up packing day
