Subtle Branding, Full Impact: Premium Coasters for Regent
Just before their grand opening, the team behind Regent Wellington’s elevated cocktail pub—came to us with a simple but smart request: branded coasters. Not just to protect their beautiful hardwood bar tops, but to make sure every photo of a perfectly poured pint or ice-cold martini shared online subtly featured their brand.
They started with 1,000 units to trial the concept. Six months later, we’ve produced over 10,000 coasters for them—each one pulling double duty as drink protector and brand ambassador. Scroll through their Instagram and you’ll spot them everywhere. Branded, consistent, and quietly powerful.
To bring this to life, we used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, equipped with AIT and IQ-501 for real-time quality control and flawless colour consistency. Every coaster was printed on 275gsm Drink Coaster Board—a stiff, absorbent stock made specifically for the demands of bars and busy service. It prints beautifully, holds up under moisture, and maintains its shape through heavy use. Printed single-sided, in full-colour, sharp details and no colour drift—ideal for high-traffic hospitality environments where quality gets noticed.

Quietly Brilliant: Saddle-Stitched Wine List Booklets for Hippopotamus at QT Wellington
On the third floor of QT Wellington, you’ll find Hippopotamus — a dining destination that pairs French-inspired decadence with local New Zealand flavour. Their award-winning wine program is no exception. With a list that spans over 100 pages, printed materials here aren’t just practical they’re part of the experience. When the team needed a way to present their wine list with the same attention to detail as the menu itself, they came to us.
We produce Hippopotamus’ extensive wine list as an A5 black-and-white booklet, typically running 80–100 pages per edition. Printed on clean, lightweight 120gsm Advance Laser stock, then creased, saddle-stitched, and trimmed to size, the result is simple, elegant and totally fit for purpose. It’s a no-fuss piece that works hard, feels right in the hand and keeps the guest focused on what matters: an exceptional wine selection.
What really matters here isn’t the paper weight, it’s the trust. QT Wellington has worked with us on over 400 projects since 2016, and when something needs printing: fast, accurately and without compromise, they know we’ll get it done. That’s why we’re their go-to team for everything from signage to high-tea menus to wine lists like this one.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“How would I operate without Ben from Colourcraft! Marketing can be a chaotic world but I never feel like I’m hassling the team here. Ben always goes above and beyond with quick turnarounds and an eagle eye over any print jobs I send his way. Forever thankful.” – Nikita Rawnsley-Wratt - QT Wellington

Trusted, Repeatable, Taproom-Ready: Custom Vinyl Tap Badges for Brave Brewing Co.
Since 2018, we’ve partnered with Brave Brewing Co. a standout Hawke’s Bay craft brewery known for flavour-forward beers and a strong local following. They needed a print partner who could consistently produce high-quality vinyl tap badges, with precision, speed and colour accuracy — every time.
So far, we’ve delivered on 27 separate orders, producing thousands of custom tap badges for over 50 different beers. From seasonal one-offs to award-winning flagships, these badges are a core part of Brave’s bar presentation. We’re proud to have become a trusted extension of their production process.
Each badge is printed on translucent vinyl, purpose-built for backlit bar hardware. This matters, many breweries use opaque vinyl that kills the glow. Our process allows the tap badge to light up on the tap, without washing out the artwork. We dial in the colour balance to ensure it looks just as good backlit as it does in ambient light.
We print using our Roland XR-640, a high-resolution, eco-solvent machine perfect for vibrant, consistent output. Once printed, each badge is kiss-cut to 73mm, weeded and supplied in sheets of 12 ready to go.
The process is tight. Print-ready files, fast proofing, consistent finishing and seamless delivery. Every time.

Sized Just Right: Fix & Fogg's Mega-Sized Cookie Crunch Label
At Colourcraft, we were honoured to collaborate with our talented neighbours, Fix & Fogg, renowned for crafting the world's best nut butters. They presented us with a unique challenge: printing a label for a one-of-a-kind 5KG jar of Cookie Time Cookie Crunch, destined for a fundraising auction organised by Everybody Eats.
The massive label, printed in full colour on a self-adhesive stock, spanned over 500mm in width, which replicates the look of their 265g jar label which is printed by another supplier.
Thrilled with the outcome, we take pride in contributing to Fix & Fogg's support of the community. As partners in quality, Colourcraft is the go-to destination for premium printing services in Wellington.

Premium Keg Collar Printing: Reflecting Good George Brewing's Commitment to Craft
At Colourcraft, we're passionate about collaborating with exceptional brands and the work we produce for Good George Brewing Co was no exception. In 2022 over several orders, we printed close to 10,000 keg collars for this iconic Hamilton-based brewery.
Keg collars play a crucial role in identifying and branding beer kegs. These die-cut ‘collars’ are securely attached to the neck of each keg, ensuring that the specific beer inside can be easily recognised during its journey from Good George Brewing Co to bars and establishments throughout the country.
We print keg collars on Formakote Natura 300gsm, a locally-made packaging board sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests in Whakatāne, New Zealand. This board boasts excellent durability, especially when subjected to the rigorous conditions of chillers.
To achieve their unique shape, we cut the keg collars using a precision die-cutting process, using standing cutting tooling that is widely used by our brewery clients throughout the country.
We take pride in our craftsmanship and attention to detail, and we were thrilled to contribute to Good George Brewing Co.'s commitment to delivering extraordinary beers.
