Who buys packaging in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is the country's largest commercial centre, and packaging demand here is broad. Wholesalers, food manufacturers, printers and light factories in the southern and eastern industrial areas buy cartons, film and tape by the pallet, while online shops and retailers across the northern suburbs need courier bags, mailer boxes and gift packaging in smaller runs. Soweto and the inner city have many small traders and food vendors who need takeaway containers and paper bags. Gauteng's road network makes it easy to move stock to Pretoria, the East Rand and further afield, and many packaging suppliers and box makers are based in the south and west of the city, so quotes are quick to compare.

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
• 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
• Restaurants, takeaways and food producers: dividers and inserts for bottles, jars and gift hampers, and cushioning for delicate goods
• Warehouses, distributors and exporters: edge boards and honeycomb for pallets so loads survive stacking and long routes
• Households and offices moving: foam sheets, paper and corner protectors for furniture, mirrors and screens
• Cosmetics, candles and health products: cell inserts and foam beds around glass bottles, droppers and gift sets
