    Travel & logistics

    Arrival airports

    Choose from the following airports, with convenient access to the event and venue.

    CPT

    Cape Town International Airport

    Cape Town's only international gateway and the airport most delegates use. Take the N2 eastbound toward the city, then the Foreshore exits (Walter Sisulu Avenue / Coen Steytler) to reach the CTICC. Ride-hail pick-up is on the ground level of the central terminal car park; the MyCiTi T01 airport bus also departs from the arrivals forecourt.

    ~20 km

    to venue

    20–30 min off-peak; 35–45 min in weekday peak

    by car

    JNB

    O. R. Tambo International Airport (via connecting flight)

    Many international carriers route through Johannesburg. Allow a minimum 2-hour connection for domestic Cape Town legs, and note that same-day onward travel plus a 20–30 min airport transfer still gets you to the Foreshore by mid-afternoon.

    ~1,400 km (connecting flight required)

    to venue

    ~2 h 10 min flying time from Johannesburg, then 20–30 min transfer to the CTICC

    by car

    GRJ

    George Airport

    Regional option for delegates extending the trip along the Garden Route. Domestic connections only — not a practical gateway for international arrivals heading to the CTICC.

    train

    Estimated costZAR 10–25 per single trip
    Best forMetrorail Cape Town Station → Foreshore / CBD (walk to CTICC)

    Cape Town station is about 1.5 km from the CTICC. Metrorail is inexpensive but busy at peak hours; travel in daylight and switch to ride-hail after dark.

    taxi

    Estimated costZAR 60–120 per short hop
    Best forCTICC ↔ V&A Waterfront, Foreshore and CBD hotels

    Most Foreshore and Waterfront hotels are a 10–20 min walk or a five-minute ride-hail trip from the CTICC. Driving in is also viable: paid on-site CTICC and Foreshore garage parking runs roughly ZAR 40–120 per day depending on duration.

    bus

    ATA Carnet: check with organiser
    TypeWho needs itFeeProcessing
    Visitor visa (business purposes)Passport holders from countries without a South African visa exemption, travelling for trade, meetings or the exhibition.Not yet confirmedApply several weeks in advance through VFS Global or the nearest South African mission.
    Visa-exempt entryCitizens of countries on South Africa's visa-exempt list making a short business visit.Not yet confirmedNo visa application required; present a valid passport at arrival.

    South Africa maintains a visa-exempt list for short visits; citizens of exempt countries do not need a visa for a temporary business visit of up to 90 days, while non-exempt passport holders must apply in advance.

    Weather

    Cape Town in late October is spring: mild and increasingly dry. Daytime highs sit around 20-23 C with overnight lows near 11-13 C, roughly 5 rain days in the month and up to 12 hours of sunshine.

    Plan for the climate

    Check temperatures and pack accordingly

    Venue connectivity

    South African networks (Vodacom, MTN, Telkom, Cell C) give strong mobile coverage across Cape Town. Visitors can buy prepaid local SIMs (RICA registration with passport required) or use an eSIM, and free Wi-Fi is common at CTICC and nearby hotels.

    Ride-hailing

    Taxis

    Public transit

    Car rentals

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Tipping

    Tipping is standard practice in Cape Town: 10–15% in restaurants and bars, and ZAR 10–20 for porters, car guards and ride-hail drivers. Service charges are rarely added automatically, so keep small notes handy.

    Business etiquette

    Meetings are friendly but punctual — arrive on time, shake hands with everyone in the room and expect first-name introductions. Bring business cards and follow up the same day; most South African buyers confirm pricing and orders by email shortly after the show.

    Dress and city awareness

    Smart business casual works across the CTICC, seminar theatres and Foreshore hotels; a light jacket helps with air conditioning and cool evening sea breezes. Keep valuables discreet in the CBD and use ride-hailing or hotel transport after dark rather than walking long distances.

    Month: October 2026

    Temperature: Daytime highs about 20-23 C; overnight lows about 11-13 C

    Seasonality: October marks the shift from the wet Cape winter to the drier summer. Monthly rainfall is low (around 9 mm) with roughly 5 rain days, and strong south-easterly winds are common.

    Packing: Pack light layers, a windproof jacket and smart business attire for CTICC meetings, plus sun protection and comfortable walking shoes for the Foreshore and CBD.

    Plan your trip

    Planning

    Best day for qualified buyer meetings: Tuesday 27 October 2026 (opening day)

    Opening day carries the densest programme: eight seminar sessions run from 10:00 to 16:00, including the Gold Pack Awards trendspotting briefing, the plastics state-of-industry address, the Bobst ONE BARRIER technical session and Packaging Films for a Circular Economy. The full exhibition floor across packaging, plastics, processing and wine and olive production is open simultaneously, and exhibitor teams are most heavily staffed on day one — so a single day delivers both the technical content and the widest choice of supplier meetings.

    QUESTION 1 OF 6

    What is your primary role?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    Recommended when your priority is sourcing equipment, materials or recycling partnerships and attending the free seminar programme on packaging, plastics and circular economy topics.

    Best for

    Packaging technologists, FMCG brand owners, food, wine and olive oil producers, retail buyers and recycling specialists from the Western Cape and wider southern Africa who need to compare machinery, materials and processing partners across the CTICC halls.

    Min. budget

    $350.00

    Timeline

    3–6 weeks for domestic delegates; 6–10 weeks if a South African visitor visa or VFS appointment is required

    Risks

    CTICC conference demand lifts Foreshore hotel rates through October — secure rooms 6–8 weeks out.

    Non-exempt passport holders must book a VFS Global appointment, adding 3–6 weeks to lead time.

    Cape Town's spring south-easter can delay late-afternoon arrivals into CPT, so avoid tight same-day connections.

    exhibit

    Recommended when you have a defined southern African pipeline and want qualified face time with production, engineering and procurement decision-makers across three show days.

    Best for

    Machinery builders, film and resin suppliers, labelling, coding and end-of-line automation vendors, and recycling or waste-management service providers targeting South African food, beverage, wine and olive processing plants.

    Min. budget

    $2,400.00

    Timeline

    4–6 months — reserve stand space, sign off artwork, and start freight or temporary import paperwork for machinery

    Risks

    Imported demo machinery needs temporary import or ATA carnet clearance well before build-up.

    CTICC stand build labour, rigging and electrical connections must be booked through approved venue contractors.

    Grid stability in South Africa means live demo equipment should plan for UPS or generator backup.

    skip

    Choose skip when your product set or target market does not overlap the CTICC packaging, plastics and beverage production supply chain.

    Best for

    Suppliers and buyers whose focus sits entirely outside packaging, plastics, food and beverage processing, wine or olive oil production, or who cannot commit to a Cape Town trip during the October window.

    Min. budget

    Not yet confirmed

    Timeline

    No planning required

    Risks

    Budget spent here delivers no packaging, processing or recycling lead generation; comparable sector coverage is available at Gulfood, Anuga or Propak Africa.
