Impactful Wall Graphics: 17-Metre WOW Display for QT Wellington
When QT Wellington needed a striking backdrop for their 2021 World of Wearable Art display, they came to us for one reason—impact. Known for their bold, art-filled interiors, QT wanted a 17.5-metre wall graphic that would complement the theatrical costumes and carry the WOW brand energy through their long gallery space. The challenge? Deliver flawless quality at massive scale, and do it fast.
We produced the design on premium Orajet 3162M matte removable vinyl, chosen for its smooth finish, vivid colour reproduction, and clean removal without wall damage. The flame-inspired artwork was printed using eco-solvent inks on our Roland XR-640, with 17 precision-cut drops and a 10mm overlap for seamless joins. Running our automated roll-to-roll system late into the night, we completed the entire print run in just a day and a half over 24 hours of continuous printing, before it was expertly installed by the team at Abbey Signs.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review:
“I use Colourcraft in all business printing for the QT hotel. The 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

Helping Aotearoa Order Coffee in Te Reo — One Pocket Guide at a Time
When Te Taura Whiri the Māori Language Commission needed thousands of compact, high-impact guides ready for the fast-approaching Te Matatini Festival, they turned to us. As the Crown entity leading the revitalisation of te reo Māori, they were preparing a suite of language tools to help New Zealanders confidently use everyday phrases, this one focused on ordering a kawhe. Designed to slip into a pocket or wallet, these compact guides were designed to be genuinely useful, something people could actually keep and use in daily life.
Small format, big impact
We printed over 2,000 of these pocket-sized guides on 150gsm Silk Matt, durable but light, with a smooth satin finish that made the vivid CMYK colours pop. Trimmed and concertina folded down to just 52.5 x 90mm (smaller than a business card), the final format nailed both portability and usability. The Konica Minolta AccurioPress delivered crisp detail and perfect fold alignment, key when you’re packing a full language cheat sheet into such a small footprint.
Fast turnaround, zero compromise
This wasn’t just a one-off. We’ve reprinted this guide multiple times since, and it keeps showing up around the city, proof of its staying power. Folding at this scale isn’t always straightforward, but we got it right, on time, and without cutting corners.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Ka pai ngā mahi a Colourcraft. We appreciate how responsive and timely they are as often we have urgent work required. The attention to quality as well as they were happy to send us proofs until it was tweaked to perfection. We'll continue to use Colourcraft as they have provided printing solutions for a range of resources we produce without fuss." – Kiriana Eparaima-Hautapu, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori

First Impressions, Sorted: Retractable Pull-Up Banners That Travel Well and Look Even Better
Pull-up banners are the unsung heroes of trade shows, expos, lobbies, and one-off activations—and when done right, they leave a lasting impression. We produce these banners for a wide range of clients across Wellington and New Zealand, who are looking for a more polished, reusable solution than the cheap, one-and-done options floating around online. Whether it’s a one-off display or part of a broader branded rollout, our banners are built to be seen and reused.
We print onto a high-grade scrimless vinyl that gives a clean, smooth finish without the mesh texture of cheaper substrates. The colour output is vibrant and crisp thanks to our Roland XR-640 eco-solvent wide format printer, which delivers quality print with scratch and water resistance built in. The material retracts cleanly into solid aluminium hardware that’s tough, stable and ready to trave, each one boxed individually and paired with a carry bag for safe transport.
Because there’s no scrim in the vinyl, the banners roll perfectly without curling or creasing. That matters when your banner is the first thing your audience sees. These units are also easy to re-skin, giving clients the option to update messaging later without buying a whole new setup.

Consistent Quality, Every Time: Prepress Production for Resene Paints
For over two decades, we’ve handled the prepress work behind Resene Paints product labels and printed cans — and when you’re dealing with one of New Zealand’s most iconic brands, there’s no room for error. With hundreds of products and constant updates across volumes and variants, Resene needs every label to be production-ready, print-perfect and colour-accurate, every single time. That’s where we come in.
190+ Labels and Cans Prepped in the Last Year Alone
Our role is right in the middle — between design and final print — where the quality control happens. We don’t create the artwork, and we don’t run the press. What we do is make sure every file is print-ready: from colour separation and trapping to imposition, bleed setup and press-specific specs. It’s the unglamorous but critical prep that ensures cans come off the line looking sharp, consistent and true to brand, every time.
Why It Works
Prepress is precision work that demands attention to detail and deep technical experience. Over the years, we’ve refined a system that delivers speed and reliability without compromising the high standards Resene is known for. They trust us to get it right, and we don’t take that lightly.

Branded to Last: Custom Labels for Springload’s Mountain Gin & Kombucha
When Springload Wellington’s largest independently owned digital agency, needed custom labels for a limited run of house-made gin and kombucha, they came to us. The bottles were part of a thoughtful Christmas gift for their clients and team—something personal, on-brand, and high-quality. The labels had to match that intent: polished, practical, and ready to impress straight out of the fridge.
We ran the job through our Ricoh C9100 to get sharp detail and consistent colour, then printed onto Eurotak Freezer Permanent Solid Back stock, perfect for chilled storage and handling. The strong adhesive meant no lifting at the edges, and the smooth surface gave their design the professional finish it deserved. Each label was trimmed to size and fitted with a 10mm peel tab, slit for easy application, quick, clean and simple to apply.
Even with a small run of 110 labels total, we treated this like any premium project: accurate proofs, fast turnaround and no shortcuts.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: "Our experience at Colourcraft has been amazing from start to finish. Always speedy with email responses and the turnaround was incredibly quick as well!" – Joyce O’Riley, Springload
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.
