From Startup to a South African Packaging Leader
🌱 The Beginning (2013) - From Garage to Growth
When the packaging company we worked for previously liquidated in 2013, we all lost our jobs. But there was one thing we knew for certain - everybody knew us. That's where our name came from: "U NO ME." We had built relationships and trust over years in the packaging industry, and those relationships became the foundation of our new family business.
Starting from our garage in Wellington, Western Cape, we began stocking packaging solutions for the businesses who knew they could trust us. What started as a necessity became our passion - providing South African businesses with premium packaging solutions from people they knew and trusted.
🏗️ Building Trust & Expertise (2013-2024)
Over the past decade, we've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time. From independent bakeries needing the perfect cupcake boxes to bustling restaurants requiring reliable takeaway containers, we've learned that quality, consistency, and personal service are what matter most to South African businesses.
As we grew from that garage startup, we evolved our name from "U NO ME" to Unome Packaging™ - keeping the personal connection that started it all, but adding the authority and professionalism that our growing customer base deserved. The name still reflects our core belief: this business is built on relationships and trust.
Our deep understanding of the local market led us to carefully curate a product range specifically designed for South African businesses. Every product in our catalog has been chosen because it solves real problems for real businesses - whether it's leak-proof foil containers for takeaways, professional-grade coffee cups for cafes, or bulk packaging bags for e-commerce sellers.
🚀 Recent Growth & Success (2025)
2025 has been a breakthrough year for Unome. After years of steady growth, we've seen exceptional momentum - achieving profitability and scaling our operations to serve customers nationwide.
This growth isn't just about numbers - it's about the trust hundreds of South African businesses place in us every month to deliver the packaging solutions that keep their operations running smoothly.
What Sets Unome Packaging™ Apart
👨👩👧👦 Family-Run Business
We're not a faceless corporation - we're a family business that started in our garage. When you call us, you're speaking to people who've been in the packaging industry for decades, who lost their jobs when a national company liquidated, and who built this business on relationships and trust. That personal touch makes all the difference.
🏭 Industry Expertise & B2B Focus
12+ years serving South African businesses means we know exactly what works. Coming from working for an industry leader for years before that, we understand business customers inside and out - bulk quantities, wholesale pricing, and the reliability that businesses need.
📦 Complete Product Range
Over 2000+ products across 7 major categories means you can get everything from one trusted supplier. Foil containers, bakery boxes, coffee cups, packaging bags, cleaning supplies - we're your one-stop packaging partner.
🚚 Reliable Delivery
1-3 working day delivery nationwide, with special attention to our Western Cape base. We understand that running out of packaging brings your business to a halt - that's why reliability is our top priority.
💰 Wholesale Pricing
Wholesale customers save 20% because we believe in rewarding loyalty and bulk purchases. Our pricing structure is designed to help your business grow while maintaining healthy margins.
🤝 Personal Service - You Know Us
Our original name said it all: "U NO ME." We built this business on the foundation that everybody knew us from our years in the industry. Behind every order is a family business that treats every client as a partner, offering personalised recommendations and the kind of responsive support you can only get from people who truly care.
