Location & Logistics

Greater Johannesburg manufacturer β€” Germiston facility

Operating from our state-of-the-art facility in Germiston, we are perfectly positioned just minutes from Johannesburg's major logistics hubs and highways β€” the N3, N12 and N17. This allows us to offer rapid turnaround times and fast delivery to Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand, the East Rand and across Gauteng.

For procurement teams in Johannesburg and beyond, that means shorter lead times than imported packaging, rand-denominated pricing, and a BRC-certified local supplier who can respond quickly when specifications or volumes change. We also ship nationally to Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Gqeberha and the rest of South Africa, with SADC export and nationwide logistics available on request.

Ask Our Team β†’
What flexible packaging do you manufacture?
+
Flexweb manufactures stand-up pouches and doypacks, barrier and multi-layer films (mono to 5-layer), thermoforming base and lidding films, IBC and drum liner bags, and roll-form films for FFS machines. Custom specifications are available across all product categories.
Are you BRC and HACCP certified?
+
Yes. Flexweb (Pty) Ltd holds BRC Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials certification, ISO quality management certification, and HACCP certification. View all certificates on our Certifications page.
Do you deliver to Johannesburg?
+
Yes. Our Germiston facility is on the East Rand with direct access to the N3, N12 and N17 β€” ideal for fast delivery to Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand and the wider Gauteng region. Learn more about our Johannesburg supply.
What are your lead times?
+
Lead times vary by product type, specification and volume. As a local Gauteng manufacturer with in-house extrusion, printing, lamination and pouch making, our lead times are significantly shorter than imported alternatives. Contact us for a specific lead time estimate.
What is your minimum order quantity?
+
MOQ varies depending on the product category and specification. Contact our sales team on 010 825 5835 or for a tailored quote and MOQ guidance.
Stand-up pouch vs roll-form film β€” which is right for my product?
+
Stand-up pouches are pre-formed, shelf-ready bags β€” ideal for retail SKUs with zippers, spouts or tear notches and moderate-to-high volumes per SKU. Roll-form films are supplied on reels for your VFFS, HFFS or rotary FFS line β€” best when you run high-speed filling on existing equipment and need custom slit widths and layer structures. Compare our stand-up pouches and roll-form films specifications, or contact us for a line-specific recommendation.
