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 plastic packaging requests in the area come from:
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: woven sacks, produce bags and liners for grain, feed and fertiliser
- 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
- Shops and retail stores: plain and printed bags for the counter, plus bags for loose items
- Online shops and ecommerce: poly bags and printed pouches for clothing, accessories and small parcels
