Local tips for Eastern Cape
Print shops and suppliers serving Eastern Cape mostly work from here: gqeberha and East London industrial areas, Mthatha CBD and Makhanda high street. The requests that come up most: factory safety signs, workwear, festival posters and funeral programmes. When you ask for quotes, ask for mesh banners or extra eyelets for windy coastal sites.
Book Printing usually suit authors, churches, schools and families, made or supplied like this: digital or litho, perfect or case bound. For designers, agencies and resellers, the biggest group here, that usually means short run printing and binding for publishers and designers on trade terms. On the weather side: strong coastal wind tears banners; salt corrodes steel frames near the sea.
