Who buys packaging in Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape's packaging demand centres on the motor industry, ports and farming. Gqeberha and Kariega host vehicle plants and a large group of component makers, with the Coega special economic zone and port adding export and logistics work. East London has its own motor and industrial base, and its harbour handles trade. Citrus in the Sundays River Valley, pineapples near Port Alfred and chicory, wool and livestock inland are packed for local and export markets. Component makers and exporters need returnable and protective packaging, pallet wrap and strong cartons. Several suppliers are based in Gqeberha and East London, with other stock from Cape Town and Gauteng. Windy coastal conditions affect outdoor loading.
Typical paper bags requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: heavy duty paper bags for packing hardware, spices and dry ingredients
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: bundled bags in cartons stored flat to save warehouse space
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: paper bags for produce, nuts, seed and farm stall sales at markets
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: SOS, flat and greaseproof bags for bread, chips, pastries and takeaway meals
- Shops and retail stores: carrier bags with handles for clothes, gifts and homeware at the till
- Online shops and ecommerce: kraft bags and inserts for gift orders, thank-you items and local delivery
