Printing in Pietermaritzburg
As the provincial capital, the city lives on government work. Legislature sittings, department offices and municipal notices bring tenders and RFQs for printed reports, forms, banners and branded gifts, and local suppliers know the paperwork. The city is also known for its schools, with old boarding schools, private colleges and busy township schools ordering yearbooks, sports kit, prize-giving programmes and matric dance invitations. The UKZN campus in Scottsville adds theses and posters. Print shops gather in the CBD and in Mkondeni, while Willowton and Northdale cover trade customers. The city sits in a bowl that traps summer heat and winter frost, and afternoon storms can be fierce, so fit outdoor signs well.
Typical large format printing requests in the area come from:
- Government and municipalities: public notices, maps, awareness posters and exhibition boards for departments and municipalities
- Schools, churches and NGOs: academic posters, timetables, hall graphics and mounted project boards for open days
- Companies and offices: exhibition panels, mounted boardroom prints, floor graphics and site plans for projects
