About us · printers since 1653

370 years of printing in Groningen

We turn a passion for design into the decoration of your product. What began in 1653 as a printing house has grown into a producer of paper labels and folding carton packaging, still in the same place on the Peizerweg.

More than simply producing labels

A label is the first thing a customer sees of your product. That calls for colours that are right, material that can handle the shelf and a run that stays consistent from start to finish.

Craftsmanship

Printers who see the difference between good and exactly right. Colour management and a fixed quality check on every run.

Technology and innovation

From finishing and die shapes to Digimarc coding for automatic recognition and sorting.

Sustainable material

Paper and carton as the basis, recyclable and without a plastic look. Sustainability starts with the material.

What comes off the press ends up on the shelf

Technology and craftsmanship go together here. Colour management, die shapes and finishing are prepared in house, so we can steer during the run instead of noting problems afterwards.

That saves time at approval and prevents surprises at delivery. What you see on the proof is what comes off the press.

The Dutch coat of arms, granted with the Royal designation

370 years in the same place

In 1953, on the occasion of our 300th anniversary, our company was granted the designation “Royal”. Seventy years on we still print in the same place, with the same attention, on modern machines.

Prepress, print, finishing and die cutting

Because every step happens on one site, the lines stay short. A question about a die shape does not go to a supplier, but to the colleague two doors down.

That makes short lead times possible and keeps responsibility for quality in one place.
