Who buys packaging in Worcester
Worcester lies in the Breede River Valley, one of the largest areas for wine grapes, deciduous fruit and table grapes in the Western Cape. Packhouses around Worcester, De Doorns and Rawsonville pack grapes, pears, apples and plums for export, using corrugated cartons, trays, liners and pallet wrap in very large volumes at harvest. Wineries and brandy producers need bottles, cartons and dividers. Food processors and the industrial area in town buy tubs, bags and general cartons. Many suppliers deliver from Cape Town and Paarl, about an hour and a half away, and seasonal stock is often reserved in advance. Summers are very hot, so cooling and shade 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
- 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
