Press

For editors & partners

South African editors and trade writers can find media kits, recent features, and local industry contacts here. Choose materials by sector or story angle.

What’s in the press section

This section is organised for editors, trade writers, and media collaborators covering bottle decoration in South Africa. You will find press kits with logos and product facts, in-depth features, and contact details for our Germiston-based team. If you’re exploring UV decoration for craft beverages, personal care, or promotional sectors, start here for accurate product information and local case studies. Each resource is tailored to provide background, technical detail, or story inspiration depending on your brief.

Choosing the right resource for your piece

Editors typically want the quickest route to the facts. For logos or system one-liners, the Press kit is the place. Writers interested in technical details from our Germiston floor can use the Lab open day feature, which breaks down how Highveld dust, 230 V supply, and local handling realities shape each installation. Product focus stories, like the Craft beverage story, are better for sector coverage or telling your readers how UV print systems are actually used at a regional scale.

Writers on the personal care beat may find the Skincare closures feature especially useful, showing CapPrint Bench in boutique launches around Cape Town and Durban. If you’re covering promo lines or multisector use, it’s usually best to start with the press kit for the basics, then follow up with a team email for specifics. We can clarify technical differences or help compare features if your brief needs more background.

Common mistakes when picking resources

The most frequent mix-up is using the logo or product images from old catalogues instead of the current Press kit. Our bottle and closure systems have changed over recent years, especially in the UV Cylinder Pro and CapPrint Bench lines, so always double-check you have the latest assets. Sometimes editors quote features for large promotional volumes when the case study actually covers a boutique run, leading to confusion.

Another trip-up: pulling technical wording out of context. A quote about how our machines handle coastal humidity in Durban doesn’t always apply to Bloemfontein or Polokwane, where average shelf life and label performance might shift. If it’s unclear, mail us for a floor-level answer. We know the real differences between shelf handling in Gauteng’s drier parks and the coastal centres, and we’ll always flag if a story angle might miss the local detail.

Who uses this section and how

Most users here are trade editors, sector journalists, or media buyers looking for fresh angles on bottle decoration machinery and sample work in South Africa. PR teams and copywriters for distributors or brand owners also reference these pages for bottle spec facts or operator quotes. It’s not unusual for a Cape Town writer to mail us asking about Highveld transit or municipal paperwork - our team expects it and can point you to the right supporting feature.

We also see technical writers and catalogue producers using the section when new use-cases are being profiled in sector magazines. Teams covering print rooms and promo lines in Gqeberha, Polokwane or Bloemfontein use the features to pin down South African handling or transit realities before putting a piece together. If you’re ever unsure which story best matches your angle, mail our contact form with your sector and what you’re aiming for so we can help you pick the right notes.

Contact and further help

Editors and sector journalists are invited to mail our contact form and include 'Press' in the subject for the fastest reply from our team. We check product facts, floor conditions, and story angles most weeks from Germiston. You can also get a wider sense of our standard product range in the catalogue or see common use-cases South African teams report from the field.

If you need further technical background, want clarification on shelf handling in local stores, or are assembling a feature with a regional focus, start a thread with us directly. There’s no charge for quick clarifications and, sometimes, we spot an angle you hadn’t thought of that makes its way into a better local feature. For privacy or data use, see our privacy policy.
