Accessible, Durable and On Brand: Translation Booklets for Wellington Museum
Wellington Museum came to us with a straightforward print need: a set of A5 booklets featuring te reo Māori translations of their Fortune exhibition content. These would be placed in the exhibition space for visitors to browse or take, so they needed to be durable, cost-effective, and easy to replace.
After exploring a few different production options, we landed on a practical, budget-conscious solution: 50 A5-sized booklets, saddle-stapled, printed in black-only to keep things simple and clean. The 20 internal pages were printed on 100gsm Advance Laser—FSC certified and ultra-smooth for readability—while the 210gsm Trophee Intensive Red covers added a bright, distinctive finish that stood out in the space.
We printed the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which ensured consistent print quality, perfect alignment, and a professional finish across every copy.
The result? A no-fuss, high-quality print job that does exactly what it needs to—clearly present the content, look sharp, and handle regular use in a busy exhibition space.

Crafting eRangers: Printing a Custom Playing Card Game
At Colourcraft, we are committed to quality in every project. When Wilderlab, an award-winning eDNA testing laboratory in Wellington, asked us to bring eRangers to life, we gladly accepted the challenge.
eRangers, designed for 2-5 players, offers a journey into ecosystem exploration through eDNA discovery. Players navigate the delicate balance of nurturing diversity, restoring native species, and mitigating environmental risks, all while fostering conservation strategies and ecological resilience.
The playing card game, initially created by Mikayla for a university assignment, evolved into a beautifully illustrated card game. We were entrusted with bringing Mikayla's vision to life by printing 150 sets of custom-designed playing cards on 300gsm satin stock, matt laminated for a soft touch and durable finish.
Then we designed a custom carton structure using a quality 260gsm Carton Board, precisely sized to house the 124 playing cards alongside a folded rule sheet.
At Colourcraft, we take pride in bringing our clients' ideas to life with precision and care. As an independent small business, we deliver quality work and ensure that every project reflects our commitment to excellence. With over 60 five-star reviews on Google, we stand by our reputation for quality and attention to detail.
