Who buys packaging in Upington
Upington lies on the Orange River in the Northern Cape, where irrigation supports table grapes, raisins, dates and other crops. Packhouses and dried fruit producers use export cartons, punnets, liners and pallet wrap, and fruit is trucked to Cape Town for export. Wine and other food related businesses buy bottles, cartons and food packaging. Solar and mining related projects in the wider region add demand for heavy packaging. Local shops and wholesalers buy bags and cartons. Packaging suppliers are mostly in Cape Town, Bloemfontein or Gauteng, so deliveries cover very long distances, and harvest season demands early ordering.

Typical protective packaging requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Warehouses, distributors and exporters: edge boards and honeycomb for pallets so loads survive stacking and long routes
- 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
- Online shops and ecommerce: paper void fill and air pillows so fragile orders arrive intact and boxes stay light
