Built to Last: Custom Hang Tags for Seventhwave’s Handcrafted Wetsuits
Seventhwave has been leading the charge in sustainable, high-performance wetsuits since 1987—designed and made right here in New Zealand. Known for their custom fits and premium Japanese Yamamoto neoprene, the team needed hang tags that did justice to their product’s craftsmanship, surf culture roots, and planet-friendly values. They came to us looking for something simple, durable, and on-brand to elevate their in-store and online presentation—without compromising speed or quality.
We’ve printed and reprinted these wetsuit swing tags over several years, refining the details to get everything just right. Digitally printed in full colour on one side, with black print on the reverse, we used 283gsm Kraftpak board for its rugged texture and eco look. The smooth side gave a clean base for brand visuals and surf photography, while the rough reverse was perfect for handwritten details—thickness, seam type, size, and more. Each tag was die-cut to 45 x 95mm, ready to be tagged, packed, and shipped.
I couldn't recommend the Colourcraft team highly enough. The whole process of creating and getting our new swing tags was made so easy and they arrived in super speed time. They look amazing too!!! Super stoked. – Sarah Armstrong-Park, Seventhwave Wetsuits

Smart Design, Smooth Install: Custom Bunting Flags for Garage Project
Garage Project isn’t your average brewery, known for pushing boundaries in craft beer, they needed custom bunting for a Day of the Dead-themed event, celebrating their bold seasonal brews Day of the Dead and La Calavera Catrina. They’ve trusted us with their print since 2014, so when they asked for iconic flag-style bunting, we knew we could do better.
Instead of punching holes and threading each flag (which is fiddly and slow), we proposed a smarter design: a double-sided flag that folds over the line and secures cleanly with staples or tape. Faster to install, cleaner to look at, and ready for action when event crews are on the clock.
We printed the flags on durable 210gsm silk matt stock using full CMYK—giving rich depth to the intricate label art without compromising clarity or colour. Each piece was die-cut to a sharp symmetrical shape with a single crease down the middle, making folding and mounting a breeze. Built tough enough for back-to-back events, but crisp enough to show off on any taproom wall.
“Ben and the Colourcraft Crew are trusted and valued suppliers. Their product is consistently delivered to specification, within agreed timeframes, and with exceptional customer service and care. I have no hesitation in recommending them.” – Tim Davie, Garage Project

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.

Premium Client Comms: Custom Wiro-Bound Notebooks for Grochem via Phillips & Partners
When Wellington-based comms agency Phillips & Partners needed a high-quality printed piece for their client Grochem, they came straight to us. Known for managing social and strategic messaging for NZ businesses, the team at Phillips & Partners were after something tangible, an A4, custom-designed notebook that would celebrate Grochem’s work and leave a lasting impression with clients and stakeholders. With over 250 pages, this wasn’t just a throwaway promo item, it was designed to leave a mark.
We worked closely with Phillips & Partners to bring the concept to life, producing 200 copies of the 258-page notebook. Each was bound with heavy-duty white wiro for durability, and featured full-colour marketing inserts printed on 240gsm Advance Laser stock. The internal pages, printed crisp and clean in black on 120gsm Advance Laser, perfect for writing and longevity. Covers were printed double-sided on 400gsm Silk Matt, finished with a premium matt laminate to protect the books through heavy use.
Wiro-binding something this thick isn’t easy, but with heavy 2:1 gauge wire, we made it work without compromising quality. These notebooks weren’t just printed, they were engineered for daily use in the real world.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Colourcraft are incredibly responsive, have fast turn around times, are competitively priced and always offer fantastic solutions and advice. Can highly recommend you try these guys out to see the difference.” – Heather Phillips, Director, Phillips & Partners

Branded With Purpose: Growler Tags for Brew Union Brewing Co.
Brew Union Brewing Co. isn’t just Palmerston North’s only brewpub—it’s a full-on destination. Known for their bold beers, wood-fired eats, and industrial-chic vibe, the team needed a practical, on-brand solution for takeaway beer sales. They came to us for custom growler hang tags that could keep pace with their popular riggers simple, sturdy and unmistakably theirs.
We’ve printed and reprinted these hang tags multiple times since 2020, which says something: they work. The tags are digitally printed onto 283gsm Kraftpak —an uncoated, earthy stock that pairs perfectly with Brew Union’s raw, honest aesthetic. Each tag is die-cut to shape, trimmed to singles, and delivered ready to hang. The result is a premium-feeling label that stands up to handling, looks right at home behind the bar, and still makes a strong impression once it’s out the door.
What makes these tags more than just packaging? They're functional. Staff can handwrite the beer name, ABV, and fill date crucial info for craft drinkers and the branding ties it all back to the taproom experience. It's the kind of detail that elevates a simple takeaway into a branded touchpoint.
