Spot UV Business Cards That Shine Where It Matters
Make a First Impression That Reflects Your Brand
First impressions count. Our Spot UV Varnished Business Cards are designed for businesses that want their quality to be seen and felt from the very first handshake. Perfect for professionals, brand-led retailers and creatives who understand the value of presentation, these cards combine understated matte with a glossy, light-catching varnish that draws attention to your logo or design. Produced here in Wellington and delivered NZ-wide, they’re the ideal choice when you want to show that every detail of your brand matters.
Premium Print Quality, Designed to Last
Each card is printed on premium 350 gsm board, double-sided laminated with a scuff-resistant matte film that gives the heft and feel of a 400 gsm stock. The Spot UV varnish is then applied selectively to create a reflective gloss contrast — subtle, professional and unforgettable.
Trusted by Leading New Zealand Brands
We’ve helped well-known New Zealand brands achieve that perfect first impression. For Havana Coffee Works, the finish echoed their handcrafted quality and attention to detail. For Buy NZ Made, the gloss highlight reinforced a strong national brand identity. And for startups like SecureAZ, it created a confident, polished look that conveys precision and trust.
Printed digitally in-house, every run delivers consistent colour and crisp detail. The Spot UV effect works best applied blind — not directly over printed graphics — allowing the varnish to reveal itself through movement and light. It’s an investment in presentation that costs less than foiling or embossing, yet delivers comparable impact.

Other Projects for Business
Wedding Day Details: Welcome Board And Seating Chart For Emma & Colin
At Colourcraft, we regularly create high-quality wedding panels and in late 2024 Emma and Colin trusted us to produce two panels for their big day: a welcome board to greet their guests and a seating chart to guide them to their tables.
Using our Roland XR-640 printer, which combines vibrant, precise colour reproduction with excellent durability. Printed with eco-solvent inks, the panels are resistant to scratches, fading, and water, ensuring they stand up well throughout the big day.
The graphics provided by Emma and Colin were printed in full colour on quality permanent vinyl. To lower the panels level of gloss from the printed vinyl we applied a matt lamination and then mounted the prints onto sturdy 3mm thick Paylite boards and trimmed them to A1 size (594 x 841mm).
We enjoy producing these wedding panels and do so regularly, especially during the bustling wedding season and with this expertise and attention to detail, we do our very best to ensure every couple receives a panel produced with the same thought and care that they put into planning their wedding day.
Getting ready for your wedding? Let Colourcraft create custom panels for your special day.

Built to Last: Custom Footpath Signage for Reynolds Rural
When Tizza Design reached out, they needed a reliable, weather-resistant footpath sign for their client, Reynolds Rural Chartered Accountants. The goal was clear: something sharp, simple and sturdy that could hold its own outside the Richmond office. Tizza handled the design, we took care of the print and build.
High-quality outdoor signage—built for real-world conditions
We printed on Avery Dennison MPI 2903 self-adhesive vinyl for its durability and clean, high-opacity finish. To protect it outdoors, we applied a DOL 2000 gloss laminate, enhancing the colours and shielding it from sun, rain and wear. The prints were mounted to a 4mm aluminium composite panel, trimmed clean and slotted to fit the base and carry handle.
Designed fast, delivered on time
From proof to delivery, we kept things smooth and simple, getting the finished sign to Reynolds Rural’s Richmond location on schedule.

Custom Playing Cards for Events, Campaigns & Creators — Made in NZ
Whether you're launching a branded game for an event, creating a training tool, or developing your own playable card deck, we help bring your idea to life — one card at a time. Our clients range from government departments and game designers to agencies building experiential campaigns for their clients.
All cards are printed and finished in-house at our Wellington facility and delivered NZ-wide. No minimum order — so whether you need one prototype or a full production run, we’ve got you covered.
Why choose Custom Playing Cards?
Cards are a uniquely interactive medium — tactile, visual, and built for engagement. Ours are printed on 0.36 mm stock (thicker than most commercial decks), laminated with a durable matt finish and precision cut with rounded corners.
Need custom shapes, sizes, or boxes? No problem. We use digital die-cutting — no tooling required — so your game can look exactly how you imagined it. We also produce tuck-in cartons, two-piece boxes and fully custom packaging.
From environmental education to kapa haka celebration to bespoke art — we’ve helped bring all kinds of custom card decks to life. For Wilderlab’s eRangers game, we printed a durable, high-quality deck used in schools to teach students about waterways and environmental monitoring. For the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, we produced 500 sets of custom 36-card decks for Te Matatini — a kapa haka celebration delivered as a tactile, take-home experience. And when Kingsley Attwood, a designer and photographer, created a full 52-card deck with unique illustrations on every face, we helped bring his vision to print with accuracy and premium finishing.
Each project had a different story — but they all needed the same thing: a print partner who could get the details right.
Here’s what one of our clients said:
"Used Colourcraft to print off the cards for a board game I created. They were brilliant — very patient with my lack of printing knowledge and explained all the options clearly. The final product was perfect, really professional and great quality. Very happy with the service. Highly recommend using them." – Josh Scoulding

Premium Business Cards with Lasting Impact: Heart & Sap
Christchurch-based furniture studio Heart & Sap came to us for business cards that would reflect the same craftsmanship and attention to detail they put into their bespoke timber furniture. As a brand built on quality and sustainability, they needed cards that wouldn’t just hand over details, they needed to make a statement, aligning with the calibre of their work.
We printed 1000 cards on a heavy 350gsm silk matt stock, strong in the hand, smooth to the touch. Both sides were finished with a matt laminate for extra durability and resistance to scuffs, ensuring the cards stay sharp long after being handed out. To elevate the design further, we applied a blind spot UV varnish on the logo, giving it a striking contrast against the soft matt background and catching the light just right.
The result was a premium, tactile business card that reinforces Heart & Sap’s identity as a studio dedicated to fine detail, quality and lasting first impressions — just like their furniture.
If you want print that communicates the same level of quality your business delivers, we’d love to help. Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.
