About Dapcro
Reliable packaging since 2008.
A South African packaging supplier specialising in aluminium air freight crates, corrugated packaging, and warehouse consumables.
Our story
How Dapcro started.
Dapcro was started in 2008 because we saw a clear need in the local packaging industry. Buyers wanted a supplier they could rely on, who offered the right product at a fair price, and who actually delivered on time.
We started with plastics and packaging materials. As customers asked for more, we added cardboard packaging, then wooden pallets, then aluminium crates, then the full range of consumables that a working warehouse goes through every week.
Our customer base has grown steadily over the years. Today we supply packaging to manufacturers, exporters, logistics teams, and a wide spread of industrial buyers across South Africa.
B-BBEE Level 4 contributor.
Dapcro became a verified B-BBEE Level 4 contributor in February 2024. This makes us a compliant supplier for corporate procurement teams, public-sector tenders, and any organisation tracking supplier diversity scores. The Level 4 status was achieved through ongoing investment in our team, our procurement, and our community contributions. Our certificate is reviewed annually and the latest version is available on request.

Built on quality.
Dapcro is proudly South African and we support local manufacturers for our raw materials. Where local supply doesn't exist or isn't competitive, we work with reputable international suppliers. Both routes are subject to the same quality checks.
Our policies and procedures are built around five operational pillars: Procedure, Quality, Safety, Hygiene, and Efficiency. These aren't decorative. They're how we keep standards consistent across our manufacturing, our storage, and our dispatch.
The five pillars
How standards stay consistent.
-
Procedure
Clear processes for everything from quoting through to dispatch. When you order from us, you know what to expect at each step. When something goes wrong, the same processes make it quick to fix.
-
Quality
We source raw materials from local manufacturers wherever possible, and from reputable international suppliers where we have to. Materials are checked at intake and again before dispatch. Our manufactured products are inspected at multiple points during production.
-
Safety
Workplace safety isn't optional. Our team follows industry-standard safety procedures on site and during deliveries. Protective equipment is provided and used.
-
Hygiene
Clean facilities, clean handling, clean equipment. This matters especially to our food-grade and pharmaceutical packaging customers, who need confidence that nothing has been contaminated between manufacture and delivery.
-
Efficiency
Stock for fast-moving products. In-house manufacturing for custom work. Clear lead times so you can plan. We try not to be the bottleneck in your supply chain.
