Mpumalanga: the work, the weather and the print shops
Two very different economies share this province. On the Highveld, coal mines, power stations and the petrochemical plant at Secunda buy safety signage, induction booklets, contractor overalls and reflective vehicle decals. In the Lowveld, citrus and macadamia farms, timber plantations and the lodges along the Kruger Park order produce labels, menus, brochures and branded staff wear. Mbombela is the government seat and the main retail centre, with print shops near the CBD and the Riverside area, while eMalahleni and Middelburg have their own sign makers and screen printers. Big runs and specialised work often come by courier from Gauteng. Lowveld heat and humidity curl paper, and summer thunderstorms are hard on banners.
The requests we see from Mpumalanga usually come from:
- Designers, agencies and resellers: contract screen printing for clothing labels, promotional suppliers and agencies
