Who buys packaging in Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is the largest and least populated province, and its packaging demand follows mining and farming. Iron ore and manganese operations near Kathu, Kuruman and Postmasburg buy protective packaging, pallet wrap and bags, while Kimberley is a service and trading centre. Along the Orange River near Upington, table grapes, dates and raisins are packed in cartons and punnets for export, with the grape season placing heavy pressure on supply. Springbok and the west coast add some fishing and mineral work. The province has few local packaging suppliers, so most orders come from Gauteng, the Free State or Cape Town and travel very long distances. Early ordering is important.
Typical paper bags requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: paper bags for produce, nuts, seed and farm stall sales at markets
- 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
- 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
