Car making and component plants drive much of the print work in Nelson Mandela Bay. Assembly lines in Struandale and Kariega, and suppliers across Deal Party, Markman and the Coega zone, order safety signs, parts labels, job cards, workwear and fleet branding. Nelson Mandela University in Summerstrand, the harbour, beachfront tourism and big triathlon and marathon events add posters, banners and event shirts. Print shops and copier dealers spread through Newton Park, Walmer and the CBD, while sign makers and screen printers favour the industrial areas. The Windy City lives up to its name, so banners need mesh and extra eyelets, and salty air attacks steel frames near the sea.
