Bold Branding, Built to Last: Sandwich Board Panels for Aurora Argentinian Bakery
When Aurora Argentinian Bakery needed fresh signage for their bustling Te Aro storefront, they came straight to us because we’ve been their go-to print partner for years. We’ve helped Aurora with everything from business cards to menus and loyalty cards, so when they needed new sandwich board panels to fit their existing A-frame hardware, they knew we’d get it right. This wasn’t just about looking good; it was about attracting foot traffic and reinforcing offerings on the street.
We printed the panels using Avery Dennison MPI 2904 vinyl—known for its outdoor toughness and clean finish, then laminated them with DOL 2100 matt for added UV and scratch resistance. The panels were mounted to 4mm ACM (aluminium composite) for strength and weatherproofing, giving Aurora a robust, high-quality sign that stands up to Wellington’s wind and rain. Inside the frame, we applied matching black vinyl for a cohesive, polished look when the board is open, because every detail matters.
Why it worked:
- Custom-cut to fit their existing hardware
- Matt finish reduces glare and boosts readability
- Durable materials built for daily outdoor use

Design Tribute to Crown Lynn: Emporio Coffee’s 8oz Cup
Wellington’s Emporio Coffee asked us to create artwork for their 8oz takeaway cups. The design was part of a series celebrating Crown Lynn, New Zealand’s iconic ceramics brand. Our job was to capture that heritage look while keeping the Emporio brand consistent and true to their style.
We weren’t printing the cups ourselves — Emporio had a specialist manufacturer lined up — but our role was to create the production-ready artwork. That meant carefully adapting a Crown Lynn pattern to work on a tapered coffee cup. Because the cup narrows towards the base, we had to pre-distort the design so that once wrapped and formed, it would appear perfectly proportioned. We also colour-matched the pattern directly from a ceramic sample to capture the authenticity and detail that Crown Lynn is known for.
Here’s what the team shared in their Google review:
“Emporio Coffee has been working with Colourcraft since 2016 when they became our neighbours in Walter Street. We often require a broad range of labelling and promotional material varying from large to small quantities. Ben and the team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. They are very accommodating and always make time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. I would highly recommend Colourcraft.” – Simon Maguire, General Manager
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.

Capturing the essence of elegant design: Issue 1 of the Emma Brown Design Journal
At Colourcraft, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous talented designers and creative businesses. One such project that stands out is Issue 1 of the Emma Brown Design Journal, a printed journal that embodies the essence of elegant architectural and interior design.
The graphic design for the journal was expertly crafted by the Jemma Cheer Design Company. Printed on a 150gsm Advanced Laser paper, the journal measured 192 x 297mm, providing ample space for Emma Brown Design to showcase its portfolio.
The journal's cover, undersized at A5, was gold foiled on black stock, by Windmill Press. This attention to detail set the tone for what lay inside the journal.
Within its 40 pages, the Design Journal took readers on a journey through the studio's notable projects and design philosophies. Four transparent pages featuring text overlays were printed onto translucent paper, beautifully overlaying the stunning photography of Emma Brown's interior design work.
The journal also included an undersized insert, printed on a charming 135gsm pink stock. This insert served as a gateway to discover more about Emma Brown Design, providing additional information about their studio, team, and the values that drive their creative process.
In this project, we took pride in collaborating with the Jemma Cheer Design studio and Windmill Press to bring Emma Brown Design's vision to life. The Emma Brown Design Journal stands as a testament to our dedication to delivering quality printing services that elevate and showcase the outstanding work of our clients.

Built to Last: Outdoor Decals for Emporio Coffee
Emporio Coffee a much-loved Wellington roastery known for fuelling good people doing good stuff, asked for our help bring their new café clients signage to life. The challenge? Create a set of decals bold enough to grab attention—and tough enough to survive Wellington’s wild south coast.
Emporio needed durability, so we produced weather-resistant decals printed onto premium self-adhesive vinyl and over-laminated for added protection against UV, salt spray, and wear. Each decal was kiss-cut into a clean 330mm circle, perfectly sized for their custom powder-coated steel signs.
Printed using our Roland XR-640, the decals feature vibrant graphics that won’t fade or peel—no matter the conditions. The combination of eco-solvent inks and Avery Dennison 2904 vinyl, finished with a gloss DOL 2000 laminate, ensures exceptional resilience while maintaining colour brilliance.
These signs were distributed to Emporio’s café clients across Aotearoa—letting coffee lovers know they’re in good hands. We’re proud to support a Wellington brand that, like us, believes in quality, craft, and doing things properly.
At Colourcraft, we deliver print that performs—on the street, across the country, and in the elements.
