Who buys packaging in Western Cape
The Western Cape packs and exports a great deal of fruit, wine, food and manufactured goods. Citrus, table grapes, apples, pears and stone fruit from Paarl, Worcester, Stellenbosch and Ceres go through packhouses and then the Port of Cape Town, needing cartons, trays and pallet wrap. Epping, Montague Gardens, Bellville and Atlantis hold factories, wholesalers and many packaging suppliers. Wine producers buy bottles, cartons and dividers, while George and the Garden Route add food, retail and online selling. Cape Town's online shops send parcels by courier all over the country. Hot, dry summers speed the fruit season, and winter rain can dampen board, so dry storage and strong cartons matter.
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
- 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
- Shops and retail stores: foam and paper wrapping for homeware, ceramics and glass sold from the shop
- Cosmetics, candles and health products: cell inserts and foam beds around glass bottles, droppers and gift sets
