Who buys packaging in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is a major bulk port, handling coal, minerals, timber products and other cargo, and the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone supports processing and manufacturing. Around Empangeni, sugar cane, timber and pulp mills and smelter-related industries shape what is packed and shipped. Local businesses use bulk bags, sacks, pallet wrap, strapping and heavy-duty cartons, while shops and food sellers in Empangeni and Richards Bay buy bags, takeaway containers and courier packaging. Packaging suppliers serving the area are often based in Richards Bay and Empangeni, with larger orders coming from Durban. Hot, humid summers and salty air affect board and tape, so moisture-resistant and weather-rated packaging is worth asking for.
Typical packaging tape requests in the area come from:
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: high volume rolls for carton sealing and export boxes, plus warning tape
- Factories and manufacturers: closing cartons on packing lines, and bundling parts or sealing film edges
- 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
