Delivery Areas

We make and supply label dies from Germiston and dispatch across major South African converting centres. Converters in Durban, Cape Town and Gauteng each order dies on their own schedule, and dispatch is planned around that.

Delivery Areas

From Germiston to the main converting centres

Our base in Wadeville, Germiston puts us close to the industrial routes that matter for fast label work in Gauteng, while still keeping national dispatch practical. We serve label printers, converters and finishing teams that need rotary solid dies, flexible magnetic dies and magnetic cylinders made to order, then packed for safe transport to the right receiving bay.

If your work depends on repeat dimensions, clean edge quality and predictable turnarounds, the delivery area pages help you match the job to the place it will land. That makes it easier to plan for press time, stock control and any site access rules at your premises.

How to choose the right area page

Start with where the job will be received, not only where it is printed. Some customers need direct delivery to the pressroom, others need goods taken to a warehouse, dispatch area or receiving office with specific gate hours. If you are not sure which page fits, choose the nearest centre and send us the job details through the enquiry form on our contact page.

We look at the die type, repeat pattern, quantity, packaging needs and whether the work is for a fresh cut, repeat match or urgent remake. That helps us advise on the best route for delivery and what support is sensible for the job.

Gauteng routes for fast turnaround jobs

For Johannesburg and Pretoria, the main advantage is speed and direct coordination. Many plants in these areas work to tight schedules, especially when a customer asks for same week replacement tooling or when a line is waiting on a repeat die. We handle delivery coordination with practical timing, so the goods arrive when the receiving team is ready.

Load-shedding can affect production flow, so it helps when deliveries are planned around confirmed machine windows and site access. If your site has controlled entry, after-hours rules or a booking requirement, include that on the enquiry so we can work with it from the start.

KwaZulu-Natal and the coastal handling requirements

Durban and Pinetown often need extra care with packing because coastal humidity can affect storage conditions, especially when tooling waits in receiving for a day or two before fitting. We pack for transit and try to keep exposure down, but it still helps when the receiving team stores the tooling in a dry area straight away.

For jobs going into KZN, customers often ask for clear labelling on the outer pack, easy identification for the job card and a clean handover to the production floor. If your plant has municipal or site safety rules for deliveries, tell us upfront so the paperwork and packing notes line up.

Cape Town, Bellville and Western Cape dispatch

Cape Town and Bellville deliveries suit printers and converters that need dependable dispatch into the Western Cape industrial belt. Many of these customers want careful planning around receiving times, access control and the practical realities of moving tooling between warehouse and pressroom. We keep the process straightforward and make sure the job details are clear on the pack.

Where repeat orders are involved, it is useful to keep the old sample or spec sheet available. That makes repeat matching easier and reduces delays if the customer needs a remake, cylinder refurb or die regrind with the same dimensions.

What we ask for before dispatch

Good delivery starts with clear information. A clean drawing, sample, or photo can save a lot of back-and-forth, especially when the job is a repeat from an older tool or when the plant needs the die to fit a specific press setup. Our CAD proofing and technical support help confirm the details before the order moves into production.

We also check whether the job needs bearer setting, magnet checks, packing for export-style handling or simple local dispatch. That way the right item arrives in the right condition, and your team can get on with the run.

  • Job name, size and quantity
  • Delivery town and receiving instructions
  • Any press or tooling notes that affect fit
  • Whether the order is urgent, repeat or a remake

Nationwide service with one practical point of contact

Whether the delivery is going to Germiston, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Pinetown, Cape Town, Bellville or Gqeberha, the process stays practical and direct. We coordinate packing, dispatch and delivery timing from Wadeville, and the enquiry form on our contact page is the best way to start. From there we can advise on stock, lead time and the support your area needs.

If the job is time sensitive, include that from the start so we can advise properly rather than guessing later. That saves time for everyone and helps keep your tooling moving without unnecessary hold ups.

Questions we get asked

Which delivery area should I choose if my plant has more than one receiving point?

Choose the page for the site that will physically receive the tooling. If the order is moving through a warehouse or central dispatch point, use that location so we can plan the handover correctly.

Do you deliver only to the big cities?

No, we supply from Germiston to the main converting centres and can coordinate deliveries to industrial customers across South Africa. If your town is not listed, send the details through the enquiry form and we will advise.

Can you help with repeat jobs if the old tooling is worn or missing?

Yes. We handle repeat matching, cylinder refurb, die regrind and urgent remakes where the original job data or sample is available. If the tooling is missing or worn, send any photos, measurements or sample material you still have.

Send through your die brief.
