Print, signs and branding in Klerksdorp
Klerksdorp is the business centre of the Matlosana area, a gold mining district that also serves a huge maize and cattle farming region. The mines around Stilfontein and Orkney still buy safety signs, permit books and workwear, but farming co-operatives, agricultural shows, auctions and the many contractors and transport firms on the N12 are now just as important to print shops. Jouberton, Alabama and Kanana bring funerals, church conferences, stokvel parties and soccer club orders. Print shops, sign makers and embroiderers cluster in the CBD, along the main roads into town and in the industrial areas. Couriers from Johannesburg usually arrive overnight. The summer sun is harsh and hail storms do happen, so specify UV resistant outdoor materials.
