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 plastic containers requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: tubs and buckets for honey, feed, seed, produce and farm stall goods
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: lidded tubs for soups, salads, sauces and meal prep in kitchens and delis
