Bloemfontein: the work, the weather and the print shops
Courts, campuses and the central N1 route give Bloemfontein its print character. As the judicial capital, the city has advocates, attorneys and court staff who order court bundles, heads of argument, bound records and letterheads in volume. Two large universities bring theses, posters, residence shirts and conference work, and the Free State provincial government adds reports, campaigns and tenders. The city is also a commercial hub for a wide farming region, so co-operatives and agricultural shows buy catalogues, banners and branded workwear. Print shops cluster in the CBD, near the campuses and in the suburbs around the big malls, with sign makers and screen printers in Hamilton and the other industrial areas. Frosty winters and hail storms are hard on outdoor print.
Typical business cards requests in the area come from:
- Companies and offices: matching cards for a whole team, reordered whenever someone joins
- Government and municipalities: official cards for department officials and municipal ward offices
- Schools, churches and NGOs: contact cards for school principals, church pastors and NGO field staff
