Luxury in the Details: Gold Foil Save the Date Cards for Jack & Maggie
When Jack & Maggie started planning their wedding, they had a clear vision: no generic invites—something bold, timeless, and remarkable. They were referred to us by another print shop that couldn’t produce the order and we were more than happy to step in. What they wanted was deceptively simple: a completely unprinted black card with all design elements done in gold foil. Clean. Minimal. Timeless.
We used 350gsm Notturno a premium deep black Italian board, chosen for its matte texture and rich colour that runs through the sheet. It’s a true luxury stock and pairs beautifully with hot foil. The cards were 148mm square, finished entirely in gold foil with no ink at all. That meant every graphic element, text, layout, accents had to be pressed in foil with complete precision.
Foiling like this isn’t for the faint of heart or budget. The process requires us to machine a custom metal block, dial in precise pressure and heat, and run each card through. It’s not cheap. Setup alone can run close to $500, which is why we only recommend this approach for clients who are absolutely committed to the look and are okay with the per-unit cost that comes with short runs. For those working to a tighter budget, we’ve got beautiful alternatives in our wedding stationery range that deliver high impact without the high spend.
Dreaming of something just as bold for your big day?, or want to find the right balance of wow factor and cost? Let’s talk. We’ll give you honest advice and a tailored quote with no pressure.

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.

Premium Training Tool: Custom Card Pack + Wallet-Style Carton for ComplyWith
ComplyWith is a Wellington-based legal compliance platform helping organisations across New Zealand get their compliance right, without the guesswork. For their “Building Blocks of Good Compliance” initiative, they needed a premium, tactile training tool: 300 sets of custom double-sided playing cards, neatly packaged in branded cartons.
Each set included 28 custom-sized cards (76mm x 110mm, rounded corners), printed in full colour both sides. The goal was to turn complex compliance ideas into something accessible, hands-on and memorable, using the power of a well-designed physical tool to reinforce learning. The impact was clear: just two months after the initial run, ComplyWith returned for a second order of another 300 units.
The project involved tight deadlines, late-stage design changes and multiple decision-makers, so speed, precision and proactive support were non-negotiable. We produced structural carton prototypes early, advised on format options (wallet vs tuck-in vs two-piece), and supported Salted Herring’s design team with precise, production-ready dielines.
The final packs were printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, delivering flawless colour consistency across all sets. Cards were printed on 300gsm Pro-Digital Silk stock and matte laminated both sides for durability and smooth handling. The cartons were printed on 260gsm Tiger FBB board, matte laminated one side for protection and a refined, soft-touch feel. Internal messaging beneath the flap completed the unboxing experience.
"We always receive the best service and quality products from Colourcraft. They have a super speedy turnaround and their team is very professional." — Kathryn McCormack, ComplyWith

Precision Branding: Custom Kiss Cut Stickers for Snapper Services

Durable and Vibrant: Gen Reo Campaign Posters by Colourcraft
At Colourcraft, we pride ourselves on delivering premium printing solutions that leave a lasting impression. When Ata, a local social media agency, approached us to support the launch of their Gen Reo campaign, we were proud to contribute to this important kaupapa.
The Gen Reo campaign seeks to revitalise te reo Māori and inspire a new generation of speakers. For this campaign, Ata required 20 large-format, durable A0 posters (841 x 1189mm) that could withstand frequent handling while showcasing vibrant, eye-catching message.
Using our Roland XR-640 printer, we produced the posters on 200gsm satin matte paper, chosen for its affordability and premium finish. To ensure longevity and vivid colour reproduction, we used eco-solvent inks that are scratch-resistant and highly durable. The result was a series of striking, full-colour posters that conveyed a wide range of messages reflecting the campaign's core themes.
Across the set of 20 posters, the designs addressed significant topics central to the kaupapa of revitalising te reo Māori.
At Colourcraft, we are honoured to have played a small part in the Gen Reo campaign and to support Ata in their mission to ensure te reo Māori thrives for future generations. By combining technology with our dedication to quality, we created materials that make a lasting impact while ensuring every message stands out with durability and vibrancy.
