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.

Quietly Brilliant: Saddle-Stitched Wine List Booklets for Hippopotamus at QT Wellington
On the third floor of QT Wellington, you’ll find Hippopotamus — a dining destination that pairs French-inspired decadence with local New Zealand flavour. Their award-winning wine program is no exception. With a list that spans over 100 pages, printed materials here aren’t just practical they’re part of the experience. When the team needed a way to present their wine list with the same attention to detail as the menu itself, they came to us.
We produce Hippopotamus’ extensive wine list as an A5 black-and-white booklet, typically running 80–100 pages per edition. Printed on clean, lightweight 120gsm Advance Laser stock, then creased, saddle-stitched, and trimmed to size, the result is simple, elegant and totally fit for purpose. It’s a no-fuss piece that works hard, feels right in the hand and keeps the guest focused on what matters: an exceptional wine selection.
What really matters here isn’t the paper weight, it’s the trust. QT Wellington has worked with us on over 400 projects since 2016, and when something needs printing: fast, accurately and without compromise, they know we’ll get it done. That’s why we’re their go-to team for everything from signage to high-tea menus to wine lists like this one.

PartsTrader ‘Parts Request’ Pads: Streamlining Automotive Ordering for Mechanics
PartsTrader is a leading digital marketplace connecting automotive repairers, parts suppliers, and insurers across New Zealand and the United States. They wanted a practical tool to help mechanics quickly identify the parts they needed while encouraging them to use the PartsTrader platform for orders.
We designed and printed a custom A5 pad, digitally produced on 100gsm Advanced Laser stock in CMYK on one side. Each pad included 21 pages with a sturdy backing card, glued at the top edge and trimmed to A5, with a drilled hole for convenient handling. Digital printing allowed us to personalise the last page of each pad, rewarding users who placed 20 part orders and including messages throughout the pad showing progress toward the reward—turning a simple pad into a motivating, interactive tool for mechanics.
The pads were finished to be robust and practical for workshop use, while still reflecting PartsTrader’s professional brand. Each page printed clearly and vibrantly, ensuring legibility even in busy, hands-on environments. The combination of digital precision and careful finishing meant the pads were ready for immediate use, delivered directly to PartsTrader via courier.
