MacDiarmid Institute Annual Reports: High-Quality Print for Impactful Research Communication
The MacDiarmid Institute is New Zealand’s leading Centre of Research Excellence, specialising in advanced materials and nanotechnology. The Institute needed a trusted print partner to produce their annual reports, key documents that showcase their groundbreaking research and significant contributions to science and innovation. With design crafted by Gary at the Gas Project, these reports required precision quality to reflect the professionalism and precision of the Institute’s work.
For the 2017, 2018, and 2019 reports, we digitally printed on Advance Laser stock, selected for its sharp finish and reliable colour consistency. The covers used 240gsm paper for durability, while the internal pages were printed on a lighter 120gsm stock, balancing quality with ease of handling. Perfect binding gave the 2018 and 2019 editions a clean, professional look, while the 2017 report featured a sewn open bind with an exposed spine—highlighting the craftsmanship involved. Using our Ricoh C9100 press ensured vibrant, consistent CMYK colour reproduction, perfectly suited to the detailed infographics and images that bring the reports to life.
Each year, we worked closely with the client to prepare print-ready files, provide proof approvals, and meet delivery schedules. The collaboration ensured every page was crisp and the final product aligned with the Institute’s high standards.

Printing High-Quality A4 Notebooks for Succeed Legal
At Colourcraft, we take pride in delivering exceptional printing services, and the A4 Workbook Notebooks we printed for Succeed Legal showcases our commitment to quality and attention to detail.
Succeed Legal, a fresh and modern Wellington-based law firm, entrusted us with the task of printing their notebooks which were designed to support note-taking during client meetings.
We used a 350gsm Silk Matt stock for the covers, then to enhance their durability and provide a pleasing soft-touch finish, we applied a matt lamination to both sides of the covers.
The pages of the notebooks were printed on high-quality 100gsm Advance Laser paper. With its exceptional whiteness, brightness, and uniformity, this paper offers a smooth writing experience. The pages featured ruled lines and space at the top for the date and subject, printed in crisp black throughout.
To complete the professional look, we wiro bound the notebooks on the left edge with white wire. This binding method not only adds functionality but also lends a polished appearance, allowing the pages to lie flat or fold fully back when the notebook is opened.

Printing Debossed Menu Stock for Kisa Restaurant
When the team behind Kisa opened their Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant on Cuba Street, they needed menus that matched the premium dining experience. Having worked with us before, they trusted us to deliver something that felt refined, sustainable and flexible enough for the fast-moving hospitality industry.
We produced a large run of custom menu stock on 250gsm Eco-100 recycled paper, offset-printed in Pantone 458 — a warm Pantone chosen by their designer to align with Kisa’s branding. Each sheet was then deeply debossed using precision-machined metal blocks, creating a tactile finish that diners can feel the moment they pick up the menu.
Debossing at this scale is usually impractical for restaurants that update menus often. To solve this, we split the process: one bulk run (20,000 sheets) of premium debossed stock to keep costs low and weekly digital overprinting on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress to keep Kisa’s evolving menu current. The result — premium craftsmanship paired with real-world efficiency.
This approach gives Kisa the best of both worlds: the elegance of a premium finish and the flexibility to adapt quickly without waste. It’s smart print strategy in action.

Built to Last: Custom Hang Tags for Seventhwave’s Handcrafted Wetsuits
Seventhwave has been leading the charge in sustainable, high-performance wetsuits since 1987—designed and made right here in New Zealand. Known for their custom fits and premium Japanese Yamamoto neoprene, the team needed hang tags that did justice to their product’s craftsmanship, surf culture roots, and planet-friendly values. They came to us looking for something simple, durable, and on-brand to elevate their in-store and online presentation—without compromising speed or quality.
We’ve printed and reprinted these wetsuit swing tags over several years, refining the details to get everything just right. Digitally printed in full colour on one side, with black print on the reverse, we used 283gsm Kraftpak board for its rugged texture and eco look. The smooth side gave a clean base for brand visuals and surf photography, while the rough reverse was perfect for handwritten details—thickness, seam type, size, and more. Each tag was die-cut to 45 x 95mm, ready to be tagged, packed, and shipped.
I couldn't recommend the Colourcraft team highly enough. The whole process of creating and getting our new swing tags was made so easy and they arrived in super speed time. They look amazing too!!! Super stoked. – Sarah Armstrong-Park, Seventhwave Wetsuits
