Buying stationery in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg is KwaZulu-Natal's capital, so the provincial legislature, government departments and Msunduzi municipality buy files, forms, registers, toner and office furniture through CSD-based tenders and quotations. The city is also known for its many established schools, which make January a very heavy month for stationery packs, while UKZN's Pietermaritzburg campus and Umgungundlovu TVET College add campus demand. Timber, dairy and manufacturing businesses in the Midlands need labels and packaging. Stock usually comes about 80 km up the N3 from Durban, so next-day delivery is common. Events such as the Comrades Marathon also bring seasonal printing work.

Typical art supplies requests in the area come from:

• Government and municipalities: community arts centres and libraries stocking paint and craft supplies for workshops
• Schools: poster paint, brushes, crayons and craft materials ordered for the year's art classes
• Offices and small businesses: creative agencies and design studios buying markers, sketch pads and presentation boards
• Universities and colleges: fine art and design students' canvases, artist paint and drawing materials for studios
• Factories and warehouses: workshops and sign makers buying paint markers, brushes and modelling materials
• Weddings, conferences and events: kids' parties, paint-and-sip evenings and church holiday clubs needing paint and canvases
• Shops and resellers: craft and stationery shops buying wholesale art supplies by the carton to resell
