Gold Standard Branding: Custom Metallic Tap Badges for Hallertau Brewery
Hallertau Brewery, an award-winning craft brewery in Riverhead, Auckland, is known for bold, flavour-forward beers that stand out on tap and in the bottle. For the seasonal release of their Resurgence Strong NZ Pale Ale, they needed tap badges that would match the premium gold foil finish of their bottle labels, but also hold up in a busy, high-turnover bar environment.
Gold foil isn’t practical on removable self-adhesive vinyl, so we took a smarter route. We started with a metallic gold vinyl base, then printed multiple coats of white ink to block out areas that shouldn’t shine. Over that, we applied the coloured background before precision kiss-cutting each 85mm badge to shape. The result? A perfect metallic gold look that nailed Hallertau’s premium aesthetic, with the durability to handle the demands of bar service.
If you want your brand to stand out in the hand, on the shelf, or across the bar, we can help you get there, without the compromises. Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.

Fresh Branding for a Sweet Launch: Paylite Panels for Fix & Fogg
Fix & Fogg, one of New Zealand’s most creative nut butter makers, were gearing up to launch their new Pistachio Spread. They wanted to refresh an existing retail display stand so it could carry the new product branding and stand out in-store. The challenge? The unit was older, but the new panels had to give it a sharp, premium look without a costly rebuild.
We produced six paylite panels from Fix & Fogg’s supplied graphics, covering five shelf fronts and the display header. Each was printed on our Roland XR-640, a machine built for bold, vibrant colour and crisp detail even at large sizes. The graphics were printed onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 self-adhesive vinyl, mounted on 3mm paylite and trimmed to size, giving a durable, professional finish ready for retail.
Alongside the panels, we also printed recipe cards, info sheets and scroll tags, everything the Fix & Fogg team needed to bring the Pistachio Spread story to life. The result was a refreshed display that looked smart, professional and retail-ready.
The client’s feedback said it best: the new display “looks so much smarter” and the assets were “so well done.” That’s exactly the outcome we aim for.

Garage Project Business Cards: The Art of Craft
At Colourcraft, we take great pride in the ongoing work we produce for Garage Project, the renowned independent brewery based in Wellington. Since 2017, we have been trusted with the task of bringing their business cards to life, and it has been an honour to contribute to their brand.
The front of each card features the owner's contact details, which we lay out in a common style. However, it is the reverse side of these cards which makes them unique.
Embracing Garage Project’s passion for art and their commitment to pushing boundaries, we print 20+ different kinds of beer art on each card's back. These iconic designs come from Garage Project's collaboration’s with some of Aotearoa's most talented artists.
To ensure the longevity and tactile appeal of the cards, we apply a durable scuff-resistant matt lamination to both sides. Which enhances the overall durability of the cards while providing a soft touch finish that leaves a lasting impression.
At Colourcraft, we understand that business cards serve as an introduction to a company's identity and values. By delivering exceptional print quality, with attention to detail, we strive to showcase Garage Project's dedication to their craft.
