At Colourcraft, we’ve been proud to partner with Garage Project since 2016, producing thousands of custom-printed tap badges that are as bold and distinctive as the beers they represent.

Known for their constant innovation and visually striking art, Garage Project trusts us to bring their ever-evolving beer lineup to life at the tap. Each badge is printed using high-quality eco-solvent inks onto Orajet 3162XRA removable vinyl — a satin-finish stock that applies smoothly and removes cleanly, with no sticky residue. We then kiss-cut each badge to shape, ready for dispatch with keg orders to bars across New Zealand and beyond.

To date, we’ve printed over 430 unique badge designs for Garage Project, all stored on file for fast and easy reordering. On average, we produce 25,000 badges per year for more than 25 breweries nationwide, making us a trusted supplier for this specialist product.

While these are created specifically for tap handles, the same stock and process is ideal for removable decals in retail, hospitality, and events — any time you need vibrant, on-brand graphics that go on easily and come off cleanly.

We're trusted by over 40 breweries in the past year alone. Learn why? Get a fast, accurate quote thats hassle-free.

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.
