Tiny but Mighty: Custom Envelopes for Hot Sauce at QT Wellington
Hot Sauce isn’t your average bar, it’s a bold, high-energy eatery inside the QT Wellington, known for its punchy fusion menu and moody, high-design interior. So when the team needed custom mini envelopes that matched their brand’s sharp attention to detail, they came to us. We’ve worked with QT Wellington for nearly 20 years and they trusted us to pull off a tricky brief.
The challenge? These envelopes were tiny, just 97 x 60mm and most printers would have said no. That size is too small to run through standard digital presses. But we don’t walk away from a technical challenge. We printed the artwork in full colour on flat 120gsm stock, then worked with our finishing supplier to die-cut, glue and fold them into envelopes, complete with a tropical seal glue strip on the closing flap. The result? Immaculately finished envelopes, bang on brand, with a functional seal and premium feel.
These little guys were proof that small doesn’t mean simple, but with the right process, it doesn’t have to be hard either. We can create custom envelopes like this at just about any size.
This one came straight from the team at QT Wellington:
“The Colourcraft team are seamless in their work and response time and their craftsmanship is second to none. I cannot recommend their work and this company high enough.” – Gordon Douglas, QT Wellington

Premium Recognition: Certified Fresh Certificates for Garage Project
When Garage Project launched their Certified Fresh programme, they needed a way to recognise and reward retailers who were going the extra mile to stock their hop-forward beers at peak freshness. These weren’t just any certificates — they had to be display-worthy, feel substantial and reflect the bold, quality-first ethos that defines Garage Project. As a long-standing client of ours, they trusted us to deliver print that lived up to their brand and the story behind it.
Custom Print, Built to Last
We produced 150 A3 certificates on a textured 320gsm Rives Tradition stock — heavyweight, tactile, and ideal for premium presentation. Each certificate was printed single-sided in black but the standout feature? A bold 'Certified Fresh' graphic in metallic green, applied with precision hot stamp foiling. This technique uses heat and pressure to lay down foil that catches light and attention, perfect for retail display and high-end brand alignment. The result was sharp, durable and undeniably Garage Project.
It’s All in the Details
That green foil wasn’t just for show — it elevated the piece. Custom foiling is a specialty finish that takes a certificate from standard to standout — exactly what this project called for.

MacDiarmid Institute Annual Reports: High-Quality Print for Impactful Research Communication
The MacDiarmid Institute is New Zealand’s leading Centre of Research Excellence, specialising in advanced materials and nanotechnology. The Institute needed a trusted print partner to produce their annual reports, key documents that showcase their groundbreaking research and significant contributions to science and innovation. With design crafted by Gary at the Gas Project, these reports required precision quality to reflect the professionalism and precision of the Institute’s work.
For the 2017, 2018, and 2019 reports, we digitally printed on Advance Laser stock, selected for its sharp finish and reliable colour consistency. The covers used 240gsm paper for durability, while the internal pages were printed on a lighter 120gsm stock, balancing quality with ease of handling. Perfect binding gave the 2018 and 2019 editions a clean, professional look, while the 2017 report featured a sewn open bind with an exposed spine—highlighting the craftsmanship involved. Using our Ricoh C9100 press ensured vibrant, consistent CMYK colour reproduction, perfectly suited to the detailed infographics and images that bring the reports to life.
Each year, we worked closely with the client to prepare print-ready files, provide proof approvals, and meet delivery schedules. The collaboration ensured every page was crisp and the final product aligned with the Institute’s high standards.

Fast Turnaround, Flawless Finish: Carton Wraps for Goodnature
Goodnature is a conservation technology company out of Wellington, known for their humane, CO₂-powered pest traps that are exported to over 25 countries. In early 2023, they had a problem—an urgent export order of A18 Grey Squirrel Trap Kits needed to ship, but they were short of the branded carton wraps that seal and label each box.
Their usual packaging supplier had a five-week lead time. Could we do better?
Absolutely.
Within 24 hours we had a prototype in their hands. Then we produced 550 high-quality wraps across the next few days—getting the job done in record time and saving their export schedule.
We printed the wraps on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which delivers sharp detail and flawless colour consistency on every sheet. We paired this with Tiger FBB 240gsm stock—a stiff, double-coated board with a smooth print surface and excellent durability for consumer packaging.
To finish, we creased and bevel-cut the closing flaps using our JWEI 6040 digital cutter—clean, crisp, and fast, without the need for custom dies or tooling.
The result? A print solution that matched their brand’s quality, hit the deadline, and kept their supply chain moving. In fact, they came back with another order just a week later—and six more over the next 12 months.
