Who buys packaging in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Northern Cape, where irrigation supports table grapes, raisins, dates and other crops. Packhouses and dried fruit producers use export cartons, punnets, liners and pallet wrap, and fruit is trucked to Cape Town for export. Wine and other food related businesses buy bottles, cartons and food packaging. Solar and mining related projects in the wider region add demand for heavy packaging. Local shops and wholesalers buy bags and cartons. Packaging suppliers are mostly in Cape Town, Bloemfontein or Gauteng, so deliveries cover very long distances, and harvest season demands early ordering.
Typical packaging tape requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: high volume rolls for carton sealing and export boxes, plus warning tape
- 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
- Online shops and ecommerce: sealing outbound parcels, with printed tape to show the shop name on every box
