Who buys packaging in Western Cape
The Western Cape packs and exports a great deal of fruit, wine, food and manufactured goods. Citrus, table grapes, apples, pears and stone fruit from Paarl, Worcester, Stellenbosch and Ceres go through packhouses and then the Port of Cape Town, needing cartons, trays and pallet wrap. Epping, Montague Gardens, Bellville and Atlantis hold factories, wholesalers and many packaging suppliers. Wine producers buy bottles, cartons and dividers, while George and the Garden Route add food, retail and online selling. Cape Town's online shops send parcels by courier all over the country. Hot, dry summers speed the fruit season, and winter rain can dampen board, so dry storage and strong cartons matter.
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
- 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
- Shops and retail stores: sealing returns, stock cartons and online order boxes in the back room
- Cosmetics, candles and health products: sealing small shipping cartons for online skincare and candle orders
