Precision in Every Fold: Branded Packaging Sleeves for Follo
Follo is a Wellington-based tech company creating premium GPS trackers designed specifically for e-bikes and scooters. With full custom packaging still in development, they needed a fast, reliable interim solution: branded packaging sleeves that looked sharp enough for retail, but didn’t blow the budget.
They came to us with final artwork and a short timeline. The sleeves had to slide perfectly over a small box, include a hang tab for retail displays, and feel premium in hand—without overcomplicating the production. We worked through multiple refinements to the fit, colour, and layout, and provided a fully finished prototype for sign-off before going to print.
We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its high-res output and flawless colour accuracy. These were printed CMYK 2 sides on 300gsm Crescendo Double-Sided Board, giving a strong, smooth surface with beautiful colour clarity. We applied matt laminate on both sides for a soft-touch, scuff-resistant finish and added crease lines, a bevelled flap, and double-sided tape for flat-pack shipping and easy assembly.
Precision-cut and hang-tab ready, every sleeve was crafted to fit like a glove and deliver Follo’s premium brand promise — without delay, without compromise.

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

High-Impact Posters for Promisia: Promotional Printing that Delivered
Promisia is a New Zealand-based provider of aged care and retirement living, trusted by hundreds of residents and families across the country. When their marketing team needed eye-catching promotional collateral to support the Arthrem Natural Joint Support brand, they came to us for posters that not only looked sharp but could be delivered quickly and reliably for their campaign.
We produced 500 A2 posters and 500 A3 posters, all printed on 210gsm Silk Matt stock for a professional finish with just the right weight and durability.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “We received a slick promotional package from Colourcraft which was compelling so we thought we'd give them a go for a small print job, although we were very happy with our current print supplier at that time. Since then, we've entrusted them with key promotional printing and conference assets as their quality is excellent, let alone their customer service and attention to detail. The turnaround time is outstanding - as an example, Colourcraft had provided a print proof and completed our print job including delivery before another company had even managed to organise a print proof. If you have high expectations as we do, use Colourcraft.” – Stacey Neale, Marketing Manager at Promisia Ltd.

Elevating Impressions: RescueMetrics' Distinctive Triple-Mounted Business Cards
At Colourcraft, our commitment to delivering premium service and exceptional quality shines through in every project we take on.
Tim from RescueMetrics, a Wellington-based leader in precise campaign tracking, had an upcoming business trip to Japan and wanted to make a lasting impression. We embraced the challenge of crafting business cards that would captivate and endure.
We created a set of triple-mounted cards, a unique approach that adds depth and sophistication to the traditional business card.
The cards were constructed with three layers of cardstock. The outer layers, made from 256gsm white stock, encased a core layer of colorplan stock, selected to match RescueMetrics' signature purple brand colour.
To ensure these cards would stand the test of time while offering a tactile experience, we applied scuff-resistant matt lamination to both sides. This not only provides a soft-touch finish but also improves durability over time.
RescueMetrics' logo was further enhanced with a UV gloss varnish, applied to create a captivating contrast with the matt laminated background.
The result? A set of business cards that not only commands attention but also embody RescueMetrics' professionalism and commitment to excellence.
At Colourcraft, our devotion to premium quality and craftsmanship remains unwavering. As a Wellington-based printing and graphics leader since 1985, we hold true to our commitment to quality and client satisfaction – a promise backed by more than 60 five-star Google reviews.

Brass Menu Hardware and Premium Printing: Elevating the Dining Experience at Naumi Hotel
As a trusted supplier to Naumi Hotel, a Wellington establishment renowned for its dedication to luxury and uniqueness, we were thrilled when Rick, their General Manager, approached us with a challenge.
The task was to print menus for the Lola Rouge restaurant, to be elegantly displayed in brass free-standing menu hardware created by Proffer, a local design studio.
We printed Naumi's Lola Rouge Restaurant Menu in full colour on a robust 400gsm board. To ensure these menus could withstand the daily demands of a bustling restaurant, we applied a scuff-resistant matte lamination, giving durability with a premium soft-touch finish.
Then we die-cut a pair of slots at the menu's base. These slots were tailored to seamlessly accommodate Proffer's custom-made brass hardware, consisting of two metal plates and a rubber band. This innovative design enabled Naumi's team to easily update menus while ensuring the menu and brass hardware remained securely attached during use in the restaurant.
At Colourcraft, we take pride in crafting print projects with care and precision, knowing that the quality of our work is not only valued by our clients but also recognised and appreciated by their customers.
