About Us

Moss Packaging cc was started 1959 by Shirley and Samuel Moss. Shirely ran the business whilst Sam was involved in the Johannesburg City Council, Theatrical Associations as well as his much loved Jeppe High School for Boys.

Shirley had a keen eye for choosing just the right machine and was a dab had with tools for machine repairs.

Their son, Russel Moss, assumed responsibility for the business in 1989. Through his leadership the company outgrew its premises in Ophirton and relocated to a larger factory in Roodekop. History repeated itself in 2008 when the business moved to its current location in Alrode.

Moss Packaging cc has achieved 59 years as a contract packing agent in the food powder industry ( powder soft drinks, porridges, cake mixes and icing sugar, jellies and desserts, sport enhancing drinks, dips and sprinkles)

Manufacturing is done on behalf of leading fast moving consumer goods companies such as USN, Tiger Brands Beverages, Tiger Milling, Back to Basics, Chilla Beverages, Hulley & Rice along with a host of smaller concerns too.

These companies provide us with formulations for mixing or blended products for packing into sachets. The close relationship that we establish with our clients, acts as the sole driving force for growth.

SILICA GEL

Silica Gel is a porous, synthetically manufactured desiccant. The interconnected pores form a vast surface area that attracts and retains moisture.

Little packets of silica gel are found in all sorts of products because silica gel is a desiccant — it adsorbs and holds water vapour. In leather products and foods like pepperoni, the lack of moisture can limit the growth of mould and reduce spoilage. In electronics it prevents condensation, which might damage the electronics. If a bottle of vitamins contained any moisture vapour and were cooled rapidly, the condensing moisture would ruin the pills. You will find little silica gel packets in anything that would be affected by excess moisture or condensation.
