Bonsema Verpakking has been a well-known name in packaging for over 100 years and, just like DozenProducent.nl, quality and service are of paramount importance to them. With Bonsema Verpakking we are convinced that our longstanding reputation for high product quality and an excellent service level are safeguarded”.
