Print, signs and branding in KwaZulu-Natal
From one of the busiest container ports on the continent to the Drakensberg foothills, KwaZulu-Natal mixes heavy industry, sugar, tourism and a large township economy. Durban's harbour, logistics yards and factories in Pinetown, Mobeni and Prospecton buy safety signs, fleet branding and workwear, while Umhlanga and the North Coast order corporate print and event branding. Pietermaritzburg holds the legislature and the university's second campus, Richards Bay has the aluminium smelters and coal terminal, and Newcastle has steel and textile works. Durban's clothing trade means plenty of screen printers and embroiderers. The coast's salt air corrodes steel frames and damp curls paper, so ask about aluminium frames and sealed storage.
