Tzaneen notes on supplies & equipment
Packhouses and farm offices run label printers and thermal printers, so ask suppliers for the right label rolls, ribbons and core size. Offices in the CBD rent multifunction copiers on per-click contracts, and schools buy paper by the box. Humidity can cause paper jams and feed problems, so store paper sealed and dry. Repairers may come from Polokwane, so ask about the call-out fee.
Tzaneen: the work, the weather and the print shops
Fruit pays for a lot of the printing in Tzaneen. The subtropical farms around the town grow avocados, mangoes, bananas, citrus, macadamias and tomatoes, and their packhouses need waterproof labels, carton stickers, crate tags, picking cards and branded workwear every season. The forests and mountain scenery of Magoebaskloof and Haenertsburg bring guesthouses, wedding venues and tourism, which want brochures, menus, invitations and signs. Nkowankowa, Lenyenye and the surrounding villages add funerals, churches and soccer clubs. Print shops are in the small CBD, and sign makers and embroiderers serve the farms from the town and from Polokwane. Bigger or specialised jobs often come from Polokwane or Gauteng. The humid, rainy summers make paper curl and test outdoor vinyl.
