Who buys packaging in Cape Town
Cape Town is a large port city with food, beverage, fishing, wine, cosmetics and clothing industries, and a growing group of online sellers. Industrial areas such as Epping, Montague Gardens, Paarden Eiland, Maitland and Airport Industria hold manufacturers, warehouses and many of the packaging suppliers and box makers in the region. Exporters ship fresh produce, wine and processed food through the harbour and airport, using cartons, trays, pallet wrap and strapping. Restaurants and food sellers buy takeaway containers and paper bags, while retailers and online shops use courier bags, mailers and gift boxes. Strong southeaster winds in summer and winter damp are worth bearing in mind when storing and wrapping goods.
Typical protective packaging requests in the area come from:
- Online shops and ecommerce: paper void fill and air pillows so fragile orders arrive intact and boxes stay light
- Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: dividers and inserts for bottles, jars and gift hampers, and cushioning for delicate goods
- Shops and retail stores: foam and paper wrapping for homeware, ceramics and glass sold from the shop
- Factories and manufacturers: cut foam, honeycomb and corner boards that hold finished products in the carton
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: edge boards and honeycomb for pallets so loads survive stacking and long routes
- Farms, packhouses and nurseries: dividers and moulded pulp for bottled sauces, oils, wine and eggs from the farm
- Cosmetics, candles and health products: cell inserts and foam beds around glass bottles, droppers and gift sets
- Households and offices moving: foam sheets, paper and corner protectors for furniture, mirrors and screens
