Printing in Welkom
Welkom was laid out as the planned heart of the Free State goldfields, and the deep mines around it are still a large source of print work. Shafts and contractors need safety signs, induction booklets, permit books, reflective decals and embroidered workwear, while the mine hostels and townships of Thabong and Odendaalsrus bring funerals, churches, soccer clubs and stokvels. The wide maize and sunflower farming region around the goldfields adds co-operatives, auctions and agricultural shows, and the motor racing circuit outside town brings big events. Print shops are spread through the CBD and the shopping areas near the town's many traffic circles, with sign makers in the industrial area. Couriers from Johannesburg take a day or so. Hot summers and hail wear signs.
Typical wedding invitations requests in the area come from:
- Designers, agencies and resellers: short runs with foil for stationery designers who resell under their own name
- Government and municipalities: invitations for official ceremonies and civic celebrations by a municipality
- Small businesses and start-ups: stationery printed for a small wedding planner or decor business
