When split delivery makes sense for your campaign
Split delivery works well when your team is spread across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Gqeberha, or when one campaign has several event stops in the same week. It saves time for your staff because one order can be divided into office drops, venue deliveries, client handovers or exhibitor packs without you having to arrange separate purchases for every site.
We handle corporate events, product launches, roadshows, internal conferences and staff welcome packs where quantities are not the same at each point. If one branch needs 40 units and another needs 120, we prepare the counts separately and mark each carton clearly. That reduces confusion at reception, loading bays and event storage areas.
- Multi-office distribution across South Africa
- Venue drops for conferences, exhibitions and activations
- Mixed quantities per stop, city or department
- Clear carton labels for easy receiving
What is included in the split delivery service
The service covers packing, count verification, address labelling and dispatch planning for each delivery point. We can group your order by branch, by region, by event day or by individual recipient list, depending on how you want the stock released. If you need branded belt bags mixed with other promotional bags in the same campaign, we separate the items at pack stage so the right products land at the right place.
Each carton is checked before release, and we can add simple packing notes for the receiving team. For Cape Town and nearby areas such as Montague Gardens, Bellville and Somerset West, collections can be arranged from our local support points. For national delivery, we plan the route and handover schedule with the courier or transport partner best suited to the load.
- Carton-by-carton quantity checks
- Address labels and site references
- Grouped packing by branch, team or event stop
- Optional split by item type within one campaign
How we manage your order from artwork to handover
We start by confirming the full delivery list, the quantities for each point and any site instructions such as loading bay access, reception hours or event setup times. If the order includes print or branding, our artwork team checks artwork setup before production so the finished bags match the approved layout. Once production is complete, the quality team inspects the items for print position, colour consistency and packing count.
After that, each delivery group is packed and labelled according to your schedule. If the campaign is moving across several cities, we can stage the dispatch in phases so the first stop is not waiting for the last. This is useful when one venue starts on a Monday and another on a Thursday, or when offices in different towns receive stock on different dates.
- Step 1: confirm addresses, counts and delivery dates
- Step 2: complete branding, sampling or kitting if needed
- Step 3: check quantities and pack by stop
- Step 4: dispatch, track and confirm receipt
Turnaround times, rush options and planning around SA conditions
Turnaround depends on stock selection, branding method and the number of delivery points. Simple split deliveries can move quickly when artwork is approved and the stock is on hand, while larger national rollouts need a few extra working days for packing and route planning. We also factor in month-end pressure, school holiday traffic, coastal humidity in Durban and Cape Town, and load-shedding delays where a site may have limited receiving hours.
For urgent campaigns, rush orders are possible where the quantity and branding method allow it. The best results come when you send the full delivery list early, including contact names for receiving teams, venue times and any municipal or building access rules. That helps avoid missed handovers and repeat trips.
- Standard lead time varies by quantity and branding type
- Rush orders available on selected lines
- Best lead times come from approved artwork and one clean delivery list
- We plan around venue access, event bump-in times and local traffic
Pricing approach for split delivery projects
Pricing is based on the number of destinations, the carton count, the delivery distance and whether the order needs special packing or staged dispatch. A single drop in one city is priced differently from a campaign with 10 stops across four provinces. If you are combining branded belt bags with other promotional bags, we quote the packing and splitting work separately so you can see where the costs sit.
We keep pricing practical and tied to the actual handling required. That means you only pay for the split work your campaign really needs. For larger recurring programmes, such as quarterly staff packs or annual event schedules, we can review the route and packing structure so future campaigns are simpler and often cheaper to process. No hidden handling fees and no vague add-ons.
- Quoted by destination count and dispatch complexity
- Separate cost lines for packing, courier and special handling where needed
- Better rates possible for recurring multi-site campaigns
- Clear breakdown before production starts
Packing standards, checks and repeat campaign maintenance
Our packing standard is to keep each stop cleanly separated, clearly marked and easy to receive. We use carton counts, site labels and dispatch notes so your team can reconcile stock fast on arrival. For repeat campaigns, we recommend a review before each new round to confirm branch counts, new event venues, address changes and any staff changes at receiving points. That keeps the process accurate from one season to the next.
If the same offices receive branded items on a regular basis, a maintenance interval of every 3 to 6 months is a good rhythm for checking delivery lists, contact names and stock forecasts. For humid coastal areas, sealed packing helps preserve print and fabric condition during transport and storage. If items must sit in a warehouse before distribution, we can advise on carton stacking, dry storage and first-out rotation so the goods stay in good order.
- Review delivery lists every 3 to 6 months for repeat rollouts
- Use sealed cartons for coastal or long-distance transport
- Rotate older stock first if goods are stored before handover
- Update venue and office access details before each campaign
