Crafting Quality: Salt District Brewing's Growler Hang Tags

When Salt District Brewing, a small brewery located in Whangamatā approached us, their aim was to improve the quality of their printed materials in time for the upcoming summer season. With new brewing equipment on the way, they were preparing to expand their presence throughout the Coromandel.

Salt District Brewing proudly offers a range of handcrafted, on-site brewed beers to customers in reusable glass growlers. They entrusted us with the task of producing a run of growler hang tags. These hang tags were printed in full colour on robust 283gsm Kraft Board, ensuring both durability and visual appeal. Then we precisely die-cut them into the hang tag shape.

At Colourcraft, we take great pride in assisting businesses like Salt District Brewing in leaving a lasting impression on their customers. When quality matters, choose Colourcraft.

Bold Impact: Garage Project Bastard Rye Artwork Prepared for Print

Bringing a Complex Label Design to Life

Wellington’s Garage Project is known for pushing boundaries in craft brewing, and their Bastard Rye beer is no exception. When they needed production-ready artwork for a complex, multi-layered label designed by Tim Gibson of Flying Whities, they turned to us. The goal was to translate Tim’s intricate vision — including embossing, debossing, subtle ink shading and gold foil—into files that printers could run flawlessly.

Artwork Preparation & File Setup

We carefully edited and optimised the artwork, ensuring every layer and effect would reproduce accurately in print. Our process made sure the embossed areas, foil highlights, and shading were all correctly mapped, preserving the design’s depth and detail. By understanding the intended print outcome, we were able to set up the files so production would be smooth and predictable, giving Garage Project confidence their label would look as bold and distinctive as the beer itself.

That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do. Ready to elevate your next print project? Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.

Custom Swing Tags & Hang Tags: Printed Locally in New Zealand

Custom Swing Tags & Hang Tags for Apparel, Gifts, Breweries and More

If your product sits on a shelf, hangs on a rack, or needs that final branded touch, custom swing tags are a smart, high-impact way to elevate your presentation. Ideal for apparel, gifts, cosmetics, breweries and other consumer products, our locally produced tags help communicate your brand’s personality and quality at a glance. We’re based in Wellington and deliver New Zealand–wide, with fast turnaround and flexible order sizes to suit both short runs and large-scale production.

Premium Printing, Precise Cutting, Endless Possibilities

Our swing tags combine premium print quality with versatile finishing options. We print on a wide range of materials including satin, matte, packaging boards and craft stocks, with options like pearlescent papers for a subtle metallic sheen. One of our biggest advantages is our computer-controlled die cutting, which lets us cut to almost any shape without the cost of traditional cutting dies. It’s perfect for short runs, unique shapes, or brands wanting to stand out without a big upfront investment.

We’ve produced custom hang tags for a wide range of New Zealand businesses, each with their own unique branding goals. For example, Seventhwave Wetsuits needed premium swing tags to reflect the craftsmanship of their locally made wetsuits, so we created elegant, durable tags that elevated their in-store presentation. Salt District Brewing came to us for growler tags that would look great behind the bar and hold up in busy hospitality settings—we delivered precisely cut kraft tags with a tactile, handcrafted feel. And when Ground Up Brewing launched a new series, we produced custom-shaped tags that reinforced their brand identity and gave their bottles a polished, professional finish.

What our clients say

Here’s what one happy client shared after receiving their custom swing tags:
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

Document Folders with Premium Finishes: Faisandier Group

The Faisandier Group is a family-run property developer based in Lower Hutt, delivering premium townhouses that set a new benchmark for quality living across the Wellington region. With a reputation for craftsmanship and detail, they came to us for presentation folders that carried the same premium feel as their developments, polished, modern and built to last.

We produced custom printed document folders on heavyweight 320gsm Popset Black stock. To elevate the finish, we applied a blind spot UV gloss varnish over the Faisandier logo and brand icon, creating a striking contrast against the matte background. Each folder was precision diecut to size and supplied flat, complete with business card slits for easy use. The result: a piece of print that feels as considered and enduring as their homes.

Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review—part of the most entertaining one we’ve ever earned:

“The finest printer in all the land!… When other printers get wobbly legs and start dropping out of the race, Colourcraft are gliding majestically out in front, unmercifully crushing their competition with the greatest service a customer could ever hope for.” – Simon, Marketing & Communications Director

That kind of feedback is exactly why we do what we do. If you’re looking for presentation folders or premium print that makes the right impression, we’d love to help. Get a fast, tailored quote with no pressure.

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.
