Eastern Cape: the work, the weather and the print shops
Car plants and component factories set the pace for industrial print in the Eastern Cape. Around Gqeberha, Kariega and East London, manufacturers order safety signage, labels, workwear and fleet branding, while the harbours at Ngqura and East London add logistics work. Bhisho carries government tenders, Makhanda's National Arts Festival and Rhodes University bring a burst of posters and programmes, and Mthatha serves a large rural region with funeral, church and school print. Karoo towns such as Graaff-Reinet and the surf coast at Jeffreys Bay run on farming and tourism. Print shops and sign makers cluster in the Gqeberha and East London industrial areas. Coastal wind and salt are hard on banners and metal signs.
