What to know locally in Western Cape
Conference centres and exhibition venues in Cape Town and Century City need pull-up banners, backdrops and printed floors for expos.

Western Cape: the work, the weather and the print shops
Wine, tourism and a big creative industry give the Western Cape a print market that values design and finish. Cape Town's agencies, film studios and head offices order premium brochures, event branding and exhibition graphics, while the Winelands estates around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek buy wine labels, menus and wedding stationery. The fruit farms of the Boland and the Hex River Valley need packhouse labels, and George, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay run on holiday trade. Print shops, sign makers and screen printers cluster in Paarden Eiland, Montague Gardens, Epping and Bellville. The southeaster tears banners, coastal salt corrodes frames, and winter rain soaks unprotected boards.
