Johannesburg notes on print shop
Braamfontein and Auckland Park campuses keep print shops busy with theses, posters and society flyers, while law firms and banks in Marshalltown order letterheads, business cards and bound reports. In Soweto, especially Orlando, Diepkloof and Meadowlands, many requests are for funeral programmes, unveiling cards and church calendars needed within a day or two. Traders around Park Station and the Bree Street taxi rank buy A5 flyers by the thousand, so ask for a litho price on long runs.
Print, signs and branding in Johannesburg
Johannesburg's inner city still runs on paper and cloth. The eastern blocks of the CBD around the fashion district hold cutting rooms, garment makers and small screen printing and embroidery workshops, while older print works and finishing houses sit in Doornfontein, Jeppestown and City Deep. Demand comes from every direction at once: taxi rank traders wanting flyers, churches ordering funeral programmes, students at Wits and the University of Johannesburg printing posters, and stadium events at Nasrec and Ellis Park needing banners and branded shirts. Most jobs are collected, or cross the metro by courier and motorbike delivery the same day or overnight. Outdoor work faces strong Highveld sun and violent summer hailstorms, so ask for UV-resistant inks and properly fixed sign frames.
The requests we see from Johannesburg usually come from:
- Small businesses and start-ups: product stickers for home bakers, candle makers and online sellers
- Shops, restaurants and salons: price stickers, shelf strips and seal stickers for takeaway packaging
- Events, conferences and clubs: race number stickers, bag stickers and giveaway stickers at expos

Here, small businesses and start-ups lead the requests, typically for product stickers for home bakers, candle makers and online sellers. One local point to raise: collected in the CBD or couriered across the metro, often same day or overnight.
