What to know locally in Upington
Farms along the Orange River order branded shirts, caps and hats for harvest crews, and many want light colours for the heat.

Tourism staff want embroidered golf shirts. Ask whether the garments can be printed locally or must be couriered in.
Upington: the work, the weather and the print shops
Distance is the first thing to plan for when you print in Upington. The town sits on the Orange River far from the metros, so courier routes are long and specialised stock can take days to arrive. What keeps local print shops busy is the irrigation farming along the river: table grapes, raisins and wine need carton labels, packhouse stickers and branded workwear, and the harvest brings rush orders. The Kalahari and the Kgalagadi park bring tourism, and the solar energy projects in the region add construction and safety work. Paballelo and the river towns add funerals, churches and sport clubs. Print shops and sign makers sit in the town centre. The UV here is extreme, so outdoor print must be made for it.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Designers, agencies and resellers: contract printing for agencies, designers and resellers who supply the artwork
- Small businesses and start-ups: a few dozen staff shirts with the business name for a salon, café or contractor
- Events, conferences and clubs: fun run, festival and conference shirts with a sponsor block on the back
