Who buys packaging in Gauteng

Gauteng is the country's biggest packaging market, driven by manufacturers, food processors, distribution centres and online shops. Industrial areas such as Isando, Spartan and Jet Park on the East Rand, Wadeville and Germiston, Midrand and Rosslyn near Pretoria hold factories, warehouses and many box makers and packaging suppliers. Buyers range from large retailers moving pallets to small businesses sending parcels by courier from Soweto, Centurion and the West Rand. Demand covers corrugated cartons, pallet wrap, courier bags, food containers and printed boxes. Because the province sits on the Highveld, products travel inland to the rest of the country and north to neighbouring markets, so strong cartons matter.

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
• 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
• Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: stand-up pouches, bakery bags and film rolls for snacks, coffee and frozen goods
• Households and offices moving: large clear bags for bedding and clothes, and dust covers for furniture
• Cosmetics, candles and health products: small zip pouches and sachet film for samples, soaps and bath salts
• Farms, packhouses and nurseries: woven sacks, produce bags and liners for grain, feed and fertiliser
