When Emporio Coffee teamed up with the Wellington Phoenix as their official coffee partner, they needed packaging that did more than hold beans, it had to celebrate the season. For this special edition, they created a custom coffee blend for fans and partners and asked us to bring the visual side of that story to life.

The brief: wrap-around sleeves for 250g pouches, featuring a bold commissioned illustration of the Phoenix. The goal? Make it feel premium and worthy of both shelf and supporter.

We printed a short run of 250 card wraps using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us sharp CMYK colour and dead-accurate alignment. Each sleeve was printed on sturdy 300gsm Advance Laser stock, creased in four spots for a snug fit and finished with double-sided tape for fast application by the Emporio team. Delivered flat, creased and ready to go.

It’s a great example of how short-run print can still make an impact. Eye-catching, on-brand and built with care, just like Emporio’s coffee.

“The Colourcraft team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional… they makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products.” – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

When the team at The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign needed premium swing tags for their high-end retail partners, they came straight to us. As long-time advocates for NZ manufacturing, they wanted to help boutique fashion brands elevate their product presentation, especially where a printed tag just wouldn’t cut it. The goal? Deliver a physical mark of authenticity that quietly reinforces “Made in Aotearoa” with unmistakable quality.

We proposed a clean, ultra-premium solution: blind debossed swing tags on 600gsm Crane’s Lettra Fluorescent White, an American-made, 100% cotton stock designed for serious impression work. With no ink and no colour, the focus was entirely on texture and craftsmanship. We die-cut each tag to a 35mm custom shape, added a precision drilled 2.5mm hole and blind-de bossed the iconic kiwi logo deep into the surface. The result? Minimal. Intentional. Made to impress.

To finish, we weeded each sheet by hand, packed the 10,000 tags into lots of 100 and delivered ready for distribution across their retail network.

Don’t just take our word for it—here’s what the client shared in a google review:

“Colourcraft are a fantastic, boutique printer. Responsive, attentive and produce great work!” – Anna Heyward, The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign

Want to make your brand feel as good as it looks? Let’s talk about what’s possible.

Kingsley Attwood, a photographer and designer with a bold, creative vision, came to us with something truly unique: a full set of custom-designed playing cards, with each of the 52 cards featuring its own illustration. Kingsley had already poured a ton of work into the design and needed a print partner who could bring it to life with care, precision, and premium quality.

We provided tailored guidance to help Kingsley prepare the artwork for production, covering how to build bleed, organise file sequencing and format everything correctly using Photoshop (which isn’t exactly known for being print-friendly). We reviewed initial layouts, offered practical advice and ensured every file was press-ready before kicking off production. Clear communication and upfront planning made the process smooth, even with a project as detailed as this one.

The final sets were printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its pinpoint accuracy and consistent colour output. We used a durable 300gsm satin stock and applied a scuff-resistant laminate to give the cards a premium feel and long-lasting finish. Each card was then precision-cut on our digital die-cutter to ensure exact sizing and alignment across the set.

Fifteen custom decks, produced with care from start to finish.
