Big-Day Ready: Custom Signs That Set the Scene
When Marilyn came to us, she was deep in the logistics of helping organise her son’s wedding, lending a hand with the kind of thoughtful details that make a big day feel truly special. Her role? Sort out two A1 signage panels: one to welcome guests, the other to lay out the seating plan in style.
Simple in theory—but as anyone who’s ever planned a wedding knows, the devil is in the details.
We worked closely with Marilyn to lock in the specs. We proofed the artwork, made sure everything was dialled in, then moved fast to deliver exactly what she needed—on time and stress-free.
Printed using our Roland XR-640, the panels came to life with rich colour and sharp clarity. We used Avery Dennison’s MPI 2904 vinyl—an ideal choice for vibrant, smooth application—mounted onto 4mm paylite for structure and a premium finish.
Marilyn said it best: “The signs did come out well and really fit in with the rest of the theme. Thank you for all your work to help get them printed.”
Need beautiful, reliable print for a big day? You bring the idea—we’ll handle the rest.

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.

Branded With Purpose: Growler Tags for Brew Union Brewing Co.
Brew Union Brewing Co. isn’t just Palmerston North’s only brewpub—it’s a full-on destination. Known for their bold beers, wood-fired eats, and industrial-chic vibe, the team needed a practical, on-brand solution for takeaway beer sales. They came to us for custom growler hang tags that could keep pace with their popular riggers simple, sturdy and unmistakably theirs.
We’ve printed and reprinted these hang tags multiple times since 2020, which says something: they work. The tags are digitally printed onto 283gsm Kraftpak —an uncoated, earthy stock that pairs perfectly with Brew Union’s raw, honest aesthetic. Each tag is die-cut to shape, trimmed to singles, and delivered ready to hang. The result is a premium-feeling label that stands up to handling, looks right at home behind the bar, and still makes a strong impression once it’s out the door.
What makes these tags more than just packaging? They're functional. Staff can handwrite the beer name, ABV, and fill date crucial info for craft drinkers and the branding ties it all back to the taproom experience. It's the kind of detail that elevates a simple takeaway into a branded touchpoint.

Bold First Impressions: Gold Foil Business Cards for Emporio Coffee
Wellington coffee legends Emporio Coffee have been hand-roasting beans and setting the standard in coffee culture since 2000. With a reputation built on integrity, sustainability and serious flavour. They came to us wanting something clean, sharp and undeniably premium to reflect the quality they pour into every cup.
We printed their cards on a smooth, 350gsm Pure White Knight stock, firm in hand and built to last. CMYK print on both sides gave them full flexibility with layout and design, while the real hero of this job was the gold foil. We applied Emporio’s logo using traditional hot stamp foil, a process that uses heat and pressure to press metallic gold directly into the card surface. It gives the branding real shine, a bit of texture and a tactile finish.
This isn’t just a nice-looking card, it’s a reflection of the values behind the brand: attention to detail, commitment to quality and a lasting impression that goes well beyond first contact.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “Colourcraft are very accommodating and always makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. I would highly them.” – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee
