Who buys packaging in Durban
Durban is the busiest port in the country, so a great deal of packaging here is built around export and import freight. Manufacturers, food processors, chemical and plastics firms, and distributors in Prospecton, Jacobs, Pinetown and the southern basin ship in cartons, pallet wrap and strapping. Online shops and retailers across the metro need courier bags, mailers and gift boxes, while the sugar and agricultural trade along the coast uses sacks, bags and bulk packs. Humid summers and salty air can weaken board, so many buyers ask for moisture-resistant cartons. Packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the industrial areas of the south and west and deliver across the metro.
Typical plastic packaging requests in the area come from:
- Factories and manufacturers: liners, reel film and sacks for powders, parts and finished goods
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: heavy duty bags, bale liners and woven sacks for bulk and repacked goods
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: stand-up pouches, bakery bags and film rolls for snacks, coffee and frozen goods
- Online shops and ecommerce: poly bags and printed pouches for clothing, accessories and small parcels
- Shops and retail stores: plain and printed bags for the counter, plus bags for loose items
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: woven sacks, produce bags and liners for grain, feed and fertiliser
