Who we are

Reliable packaging, since 2008.

Dapcro has been supplying packaging materials to South African businesses since 2008. We started with cardboard packaging, then grew into wooden pallets, aluminium crates, and a wider range of packaging materials as customer demand pulled us forward.

Most of our customers stay with us for years. They stay because we do three things consistently: we keep stock for the fast-moving products, we manufacture to spec when something custom is needed, and we deliver when we said we would.

We're proudly South African, B-BBEE Level 4 certified, and we support local raw material suppliers wherever possible.

Our speciality

Aluminium air freight crates, engineered to ship more for less.

Our aluminium crates weigh up to 65% less than wooden equivalents, cut freight costs by 5-8% per shipment, and stack securely for efficient loading. We design and manufacture each crate to your exact specifications, with zero pilferage since we introduced them.
