What Grafisch Bedrijf Goes B.v. does

Grafisch Bedrijf Goes B.v. (GBG) is a Dutch family-owned full-service printing, packaging, and signage company founded in 1977 and headquartered at a purpose-built facility along the A58 highway in Goes, Netherlands. The business is organized around three pillars — Press (offset and digital printing of business cards, brochures, books, calendars, and personalized stationery), Print (large-format and small-format production of displays, packaging, boxes, point-of-sale materials, and trade show stands using a Tauro flatbed printer and ZUND cutting/milling robot), and Sign (vehicle wrapping, facade signage, wayfinding, flags, banners, and interior branding). GBG employs approximately 35 people and is led by CEO Chris van Antwerpen.

In August 2025 GBG significantly extended its production envelope by launching an in-house folding carton department equipped with a Fuji Revoria printer, Motioncutter laser cutting machine, and Pro Cut Foldstream folder-gluer, positioning it as one of few Dutch operators able to run the full printing-to-finishing folding-carton process under one roof. The company also operates Boostyourbox, a wholly-owned subsidiary webshop for custom printed packaging featuring 3D visualization and tiered pricing, which was nominated for the 2025 Zeeuwse Innovatieprijs Emergo innovation prize. GBG holds FSC certification, received the 2020 Groene Pluim sustainability award from Gemeente Goes, and powers its facility with 714 solar panels.

The business sells through direct enterprise sales (account managers handling quote-based projects for logos such as Lamb Weston, Delta, ADRZ, GGD Zeeland, Bison, and Arai), a self-serve webshop channel (Boostyourbox and webshop.gbg.nl), and local/regional presence including annual participation in the Contacta trade show. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the operating model is one-time project and product sales across press, print, sign, packaging, and event/exhibition work, with geographic concentration in Zeeland and Brabant complemented by national and select international accounts.

Broad incumbents

• VPK Packaging Group: Large Belgian-based European manufacturer of paper-based packaging solutions including folding cartons and corrugated boxes. Comparable to GBG in folding carton and paperboard packaging but operates at significantly larger scale across multiple European countries.
• Smurfit Kappa: Global leader in paper-based packaging, including corrugated and folding carton solutions. Comparable to GBG in paperboard packaging substrate but operates at industrial scale with extensive European manufacturing footprint, representing competitive pressure on regional players.
• Van Genechten Packaging: European leader in folding cartons and packaging, headquartered in Belgium with operations across Europe. Highly comparable to GBG's vouwkarton and packaging converting activities but serves global FMCG brands at industrial scale.
• Cimpress (Vistaprint): Global mass-customization platform for printed products, packaging, signage, and marketing materials serving SMBs. Comparable to GBG through Boostyourbox in e-commerce-driven custom packaging, though operating at vastly larger scale and lower price points.

Others

Comparable to GBG as an ecosystem participant in the Dutch paper/packaging supply chain rather than direct competitor, supplying many of the same inputs (paperboard, FSC materials).
