Trykkeriet Friheden

What Trykkeriet Friheden does

Trykkeriet Friheden is a Danish micro-printing business founded in 1991 by Oluf Immersen and his wife Marianne in Nors, Thy. It operates from a single facility at Håndværkervej 7, Nors, with a headcount of 1–10, and is run directly by the founder alongside a small production team (Lal Silwal). The company sells three integrated service lines: traditional print products (Tryksager) covering business cards, brochures, flyers, posters, books, magazines, labels, and similar materials; graphic design services (Grafisk Design) covering visual identity, layout, packaging design, and pre-press preparation; and the Easy Eating sub-brand of patented and standard sustainable food packaging boxes manufactured in-house.

The underlying technology combines offset printing with chemical-free plates, a Konica Minolta AccurioPress C6100 digital press installed in October 2019, and in-house lamination and cutting machinery acquired with a 2019 LAG Thy-Mors grant to support Easy-Eating box production. Trykkeriet Friheden is FSC-certified (FSC-C 109833), holds Fødevarestyrelsen approval for food-contact packaging, and has positioned itself as an early adopter of environmentally friendly print methods — alcohol-free printing (1994), CTP (1996), waterless offset (late 1990s), and chemical-free plates (2010). Roughly 10% of Danish printers use chemical-free plates, framing the company as a sustainability front-runner in its category.

The business model is direct-to-customer sales-led: customers engage via phone (97981641) and email ([email protected]) for personalized consultation, quote, design, and production of one-off print jobs, priced on a unit/bespoke quote basis with no publicly disclosed tiers. Easy Eating packaging is sold both directly and through a dedicated e-commerce storefront at easy-eating.dk. Customers are predominantly Danish SMBs needing printed marketing/operational materials, plus restaurants and food-service operators seeking FSC-certified, biodegradable takeaway packaging. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company is privately held by the founder with no institutional investors.
