Who buys packaging in Gqeberha
Gqeberha is built on motor manufacturing, the port and the Coega Special Economic Zone, so a great deal of packaging here serves industry. Component makers in Markman, Perseverance and Struandale supply the vehicle plants and ship by road and sea, using returnable packs, strong cartons, foam and protective packaging. The port and Coega move citrus, wool and other exports, which need export cartons, pallet wrap and strapping. Food makers, retailers and online shops in Walmer, Newton Park and Humewood buy bags, containers and courier packaging. Packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the industrial areas and deliver across Nelson Mandela Bay. Wind and coastal damp are worth considering.
Typical protective packaging requests in the area come from:
- 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
- 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
- Online shops and ecommerce: paper void fill and air pillows so fragile orders arrive intact and boxes stay light
- Households and offices moving: foam sheets, paper and corner protectors for furniture, mirrors and screens
