Printing in Upington
Distance is the first thing to plan for when you print in Upington. The town sits on the Orange River far from the metros, so courier routes are long and specialised stock can take days to arrive. What keeps local print shops busy is the irrigation farming along the river: table grapes, raisins and wine need carton labels, packhouse stickers and branded workwear, and the harvest brings rush orders. The Kalahari and the Kgalagadi park bring tourism, and the solar energy projects in the region add construction and safety work. Paballelo and the river towns add funerals, churches and sport clubs. Print shops and sign makers sit in the town centre. The UV here is extreme, so outdoor print must be made for it.
Typical mug printing requests in the area come from:
- Designers, agencies and resellers: contract mug printing for gift shops, agencies and promotional resellers
- Small businesses and start-ups: a few dozen mugs with the business name for staff and loyal customers
- Events, conferences and clubs: speaker gifts and prize mugs for conferences, golf days and races
