Durban: the work, the weather and the print shops
A working port city sets the pace here.

Diwali, Eid, church gatherings, weddings and big funerals bring steady orders for invitations and programmes. Printers, sign makers and screen printers cluster in the CBD, along the Berea, in Springfield Park, Prospecton and Riverhorse Valley.

- Designers, agencies and resellers: contract screen printing for clothing labels, promotional suppliers and agencies
- Companies and offices: bulk staff shirts for a product launch, a site safety week or a year end
