Built to Last: High-Quality Workbooks for Wellington City Council’s Te Piere o te Reo (2024 Edition)
In 2024, the Wellington City Council came to us with a clear brief: produce a high-quality workbook for Te Piere o te Reo, a week-long event celebrating fluent te reo Māori speakers. They needed something that looked polished, felt great to use, and would hold up.
They originally considered embossing for the cover, but we suggested a smarter, more cost-effective option—spot UV gloss over a scuff-resistant matt laminate on 350gsm satin stock. The result was striking, durable, and a big hit with event attendees.
Inside, each 114-page workbook was printed in full colour on 100gsm offset stock, and wiro bound along the left edge for durability and ease of use. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us flawless colour consistency and perfect alignment across the run—every page sharp, every colour on point.
Here’s what the team at Wellington City Council had to say:
“Beautiful product. The team were a pleasure to work with—so professional and produced a high-quality product. What I loved the most was the advice on how to improve the product before printing. The small details mattered—THANK YOU!”
— Keli-Ann Wilson, Wellington City Council
One year later, we’ve just wrapped the 2025 edition—and we’re proud to still be trusted to deliver.

Elevating Impressions: RescueMetrics' Distinctive Triple-Mounted Business Cards
At Colourcraft, our commitment to delivering premium service and exceptional quality shines through in every project we take on.
Tim from RescueMetrics, a Wellington-based leader in precise campaign tracking, had an upcoming business trip to Japan and wanted to make a lasting impression. We embraced the challenge of crafting business cards that would captivate and endure.
We created a set of triple-mounted cards, a unique approach that adds depth and sophistication to the traditional business card.
The cards were constructed with three layers of cardstock. The outer layers, made from 256gsm white stock, encased a core layer of colorplan stock, selected to match RescueMetrics' signature purple brand colour.
To ensure these cards would stand the test of time while offering a tactile experience, we applied scuff-resistant matt lamination to both sides. This not only provides a soft-touch finish but also improves durability over time.
RescueMetrics' logo was further enhanced with a UV gloss varnish, applied to create a captivating contrast with the matt laminated background.
The result? A set of business cards that not only commands attention but also embody RescueMetrics' professionalism and commitment to excellence.
At Colourcraft, our devotion to premium quality and craftsmanship remains unwavering. As a Wellington-based printing and graphics leader since 1985, we hold true to our commitment to quality and client satisfaction – a promise backed by more than 60 five-star Google reviews.

Branded to Last: Custom Labels for Springload’s Mountain Gin & Kombucha
When Springload Wellington’s largest independently owned digital agency, needed custom labels for a limited run of house-made gin and kombucha, they came to us. The bottles were part of a thoughtful Christmas gift for their clients and team—something personal, on-brand, and high-quality. The labels had to match that intent: polished, practical, and ready to impress straight out of the fridge.
We ran the job through our Ricoh C9100 to get sharp detail and consistent colour, then printed onto Eurotak Freezer Permanent Solid Back stock, perfect for chilled storage and handling. The strong adhesive meant no lifting at the edges, and the smooth surface gave their design the professional finish it deserved. Each label was trimmed to size and fitted with a 10mm peel tab, slit for easy application, quick, clean and simple to apply.
Even with a small run of 110 labels total, we treated this like any premium project: accurate proofs, fast turnaround and no shortcuts.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: "Our experience at Colourcraft has been amazing from start to finish. Always speedy with email responses and the turnaround was incredibly quick as well!" – Joyce O’Riley, Springload
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.

Hand-Folded Perfection: First Day Cover Envelopes for Vanuatu & Pitcairn Islands
When Latitude Fulfilment needed a print production partner, they came to us for one reason: quality that collectors would accept — and nothing less. Over an 11-year period, we produced more than 100 First Day Cover envelope editions for the Philatelic Bureau of Vanuatu and the Pitcairn Islands. These are no ordinary envelopes — they’re precision print pieces that mark the first day of a stamp’s issue and are collected worldwide.
Each edition required between 600 and 900 units, printed in full colour (CMYK) on 170gsm Silk Matt stock. We started by printing flat sheets, which were then die-cut and hand assembled into envelopes. Why hand assembled? Because when the gripper used for mechanical assembly left even a slight dent on one edge, we knew it wouldn’t pass the scrutiny of serious collectors. So we adjusted, folding and glueing every single envelope by hand, 100+ editions worth.
This wasn’t about volume. It was about craftsmanship and doing it right, every time.
