Who trade accounts suit
Trade accounts are set up for customers who order often, need the same materials repeatedly, or manage jobs for clients, learners or production runs. That includes fabrication shops, design studios, schools, signage teams, makerspaces and maintenance departments that need PETG sheets cut to size or filament couriered across South Africa.
If you are based in Cape Town, the Western Cape or further afield, a trade account helps keep your buying organised. You can order by project, by sheet size, or by repeat spec, which saves time when the same material is needed month after month.
How to request trade account support
To get started, send your enquiry through the contact page and tell us what you buy most often, where it must go and how you prefer to receive paperwork. We will help you with the next steps and explain what information is needed for account setup. If you already have a standing order pattern, include that too it makes things easier from the start.
- Company or institution name
- Contact person and buying team details
- Usual sheet sizes, colours or filament types
- Expected monthly or term-based volumes
- Collection or courier preference
- Any VAT, PO number or internal reference requirements
What account customers can order
Trade customers use the same core products and services, but with ordering suited to repeat work. That can mean full sheets, custom sizing, strip cutting, panel cutting, small batch cutting, large batch cutting and job labelling for easy sorting on site. If you need film left on for a cleaner finish during handling or installation, we can keep it in place where the job allows.
- Straight cuts for repeat panel sizes
- Custom sizing for client work and builds
- Edge deburring where a smoother edge is needed
- Hole marking for drilling, mounting or assembly
- Courier packing for fragile or out of town orders
For filament, trade orders are packed for courier delivery nationwide, which suits schools, studios and production teams outside Cape Town just as well as local buyers.
Ordering workflow for repeat buyers
Once your account is active, the ordering process is simple. Send through your requirements, confirm the sizes and finish, and we will quote or prepare the job according to your instructions. For repeating projects, we can work from the same spec each time so your team does not have to start from scratch.
- Send your enquiry with the material and dimensions you need.
- Confirm whether you want collection or courier delivery.
- Approve the quote or job notes.
- We cut, mark, pack and label the order.
- Collect from Epping or receive the courier shipment.
This is especially useful for fabrication work with fixed panel sizes, school projects with term deadlines, or design studios that need a steady supply of the same material.
Collection and courier options by area
Our base is in Epping, Cape Town, which works well for trade customers collecting during the week. We also support nearby collection points in Montague Gardens, Bellville, Parow, Claremont, Somerset West, Paarl and Stellenbosch, depending on the order and timing. If your team is on the road, we can prepare the order for the most practical handover point.
For filament and many sheet orders, nationwide courier is available. That helps if you are outside the metro, or if load-shedding, site access or a tight delivery window makes local pickup difficult. We pack carefully so goods are ready for transport and easier to receive at stores, workshops or schools.
Why trade buyers keep coming back
Trade customers usually need more than a once-off sale. They need materials that arrive in the right size, the right quantity and in a condition that is ready for use. Our team works with that in mind, whether the order is a single cut sheet or a full batch for ongoing production. Morne van Rensburg oversees the operation, with support from the sales, production, support and logistics team so each job moves through cleanly.
- Consistent sizing for repeat jobs
- Clear job labelling for workshop teams
- Practical advice on material choice and thickness
- Reliable packing for collection or courier
- Support for schools, studios and fabrication teams
If your business needs regular supply, fewer ordering mistakes and a simple process for reorders, a trade account is the right fit.
