Who buys packaging in Johannesburg
Johannesburg is the country's largest commercial centre, and packaging demand here is broad. Wholesalers, food manufacturers, printers and light factories in the southern and eastern industrial areas buy cartons, film and tape by the pallet, while online shops and retailers across the northern suburbs need courier bags, mailer boxes and gift packaging in smaller runs. Soweto and the inner city have many small traders and food vendors who need takeaway containers and paper bags. Gauteng's road network makes it easy to move stock to Pretoria, the East Rand and further afield, and many packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the south and west of the city, so quotes are quick to compare.
Typical packaging tape requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: closing cartons on packing lines, and bundling parts or sealing film edges
- 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
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: closing cartons of dry goods and bakery boxes, with cold-grade tape for fridges
- 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
- Cosmetics, candles and health products: sealing small shipping cartons for online skincare and candle orders
