Precision in Every Fold: Branded Packaging Sleeves for Follo
Follo is a Wellington-based tech company creating premium GPS trackers designed specifically for e-bikes and scooters. With full custom packaging still in development, they needed a fast, reliable interim solution: branded packaging sleeves that looked sharp enough for retail, but didn’t blow the budget.
They came to us with final artwork and a short timeline. The sleeves had to slide perfectly over a small box, include a hang tab for retail displays, and feel premium in hand—without overcomplicating the production. We worked through multiple refinements to the fit, colour, and layout, and provided a fully finished prototype for sign-off before going to print.
We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its high-res output and flawless colour accuracy. These were printed CMYK 2 sides on 300gsm Crescendo Double-Sided Board, giving a strong, smooth surface with beautiful colour clarity. We applied matt laminate on both sides for a soft-touch, scuff-resistant finish and added crease lines, a bevelled flap, and double-sided tape for flat-pack shipping and easy assembly.
Precision-cut and hang-tab ready, every sleeve was crafted to fit like a glove and deliver Follo’s premium brand promise — without delay, without compromise.

Bold, Branded & Built to Last: Custom EV Car Park Graphics for QT Wellington
QT Wellington is no ordinary hotel—it’s a full-blown sensory experience wrapped in luxury, art and bold design. When they dedicated a premium car park space to electric vehicle charging, they came straight to us. Why? Because their brand matters and they trusted us to get it right. They needed signage and surface graphics that not only communicated function but felt right at home in QT’s playful, high-design aesthetic.
We started by reimagining the QT Wellington logo as a charging icon, subtle but instantly recognisable. From there, we designed custom stencils and arranged professional on-site painting of the graphic and diagonal line work directly onto the car park surface. Everything was measured, proofed, and painted to spec—tight, clean and on brand. To complete the zone, we produced a printed ACM (aluminium composite) panel to mark the area as a designated ‘Electric Vehicle Charging Station.’
How would I operate without Colourcraft! Marketing can be a chaotic world but I never feel like I'm hassling the team here. Colourcraft goes above and beyond with quick turnarounds and an eagle eye over any work I send their way. Forever thankful. – Nikita Rawnlsey-Wratt, QT Wellington

Built to Travel: Folding Keg Collars for Heyday Beer Co
When Heyday Beer Co needed a smart way to transport their tap badges securely from brewery to bar, we delivered a solution that’s since become an industry staple. Their Cuba Street brewery is known for fresh, small-batch beer and bold branding, so they needed packaging that wasn’t just practical but consistent across repeat orders. Our folding keg collar design ticked every box—strong, dependable and proven to survive cold storage and delivery.
Smart structure, proven reliability
Printed digitally on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board, each keg collar is diecut flat for easy storage and then folded around the tap badge when it’s time to ship. The clever locking design means no staples, no loose badges and no wasted time. This is a proven solution we’ve produced and reprinted for Heyday more than ten times since 2018. That consistency shows the design works and the product does exactly what it’s meant to: protect tap badges in transit.
One idea, many options
The folding keg collar style used by Heyday is just one option we’ve developed in-house. For breweries that don’t need the lock-in structure, we also produce a flat keg collar style—more cost-effective, but with the same durable stock and precision diecutting. Both styles scale easily, giving breweries of any size print that’s fit for purpose, looks sharp and holds up in the real world.

Luxury in the Details: Gold Foil Save the Date Cards for Jack & Maggie
When Jack & Maggie started planning their wedding, they had a clear vision: no generic invites—something bold, timeless, and remarkable. They were referred to us by another print shop that couldn’t produce the order and we were more than happy to step in. What they wanted was deceptively simple: a completely unprinted black card with all design elements done in gold foil. Clean. Minimal. Timeless.
We used 350gsm Notturno a premium deep black Italian board, chosen for its matte texture and rich colour that runs through the sheet. It’s a true luxury stock and pairs beautifully with hot foil. The cards were 148mm square, finished entirely in gold foil with no ink at all. That meant every graphic element, text, layout, accents had to be pressed in foil with complete precision.
Foiling like this isn’t for the faint of heart or budget. The process requires us to machine a custom metal block, dial in precise pressure and heat, and run each card through. It’s not cheap. Setup alone can run close to $500, which is why we only recommend this approach for clients who are absolutely committed to the look and are okay with the per-unit cost that comes with short runs. For those working to a tighter budget, we’ve got beautiful alternatives in our wedding stationery range that deliver high impact without the high spend.
Dreaming of something just as bold for your big day?, or want to find the right balance of wow factor and cost? Let’s talk. We’ll give you honest advice and a tailored quote with no pressure.

Emporio Coffee: Premium Labels for Coffee Bags
For Wellington roastery Emporio Coffee, packaging isn’t just about function, it’s part of the customer experience. To clearly identify their coffee grind options across espresso, plunger and whole beans, they needed labels that could stand up to daily handling while looking sharp on the shelf.
We produced labels in two sizes 15 x 120mm strips and 60mm circles, on Colourplan white textured stock with a solid black self-adhesive backing. Printed CMYK and finished with slitting, trimming and backing card pads, these labels balanced premium feel with practical usability. Applied directly to their coffee bags, the labels provided clarity for customers while keeping the overall design cohesive and professional.
