Vrijdag Premium Printing specializes in producing luxury labels and high quality packaging. Many of our numerous clients produce luxury consumer goods – such as tobacco, champagne, spirits, cosmetics, jewelry and chocolates – with famous brand names. Our products are used throughout Europe, the States, the Caribbean and beyond. We have been in the business for more than a century and have won several prestigious awards such as the ‘Sappi International Printer of the Year Award’ and the ‘Gouden Z Award’.

Vrijdag Premium Printing was founded by Louis Vrijdag as a lithographic printing company in 1905. At the time, this entrepreneurial teacher and lover of music had decided to try his hand at printing sheet music for a choral society. During the course of the past one hundred years, Vrijdag Premium Printing has grown and developed to become what it is today: a highly modern, globally active premium printing company that produces high-quality labels and packaging using the very latest technology, including embossing, bronzing and stamping. Following the acquisition in 2009 of Drukkerij Gestel, also based in Eindhoven, the company's technical capabilities have been expanded further to include sheet-fed rotogravure printing, which can be combined perfectly with the sheet-fed offset printing process.
