Bold First Impressions: Gold Foil Business Cards for Emporio Coffee
Wellington coffee legends Emporio Coffee have been hand-roasting beans and setting the standard in coffee culture since 2000. With a reputation built on integrity, sustainability and serious flavour. They came to us wanting something clean, sharp and undeniably premium to reflect the quality they pour into every cup.
We printed their cards on a smooth, 350gsm Pure White Knight stock, firm in hand and built to last. CMYK print on both sides gave them full flexibility with layout and design, while the real hero of this job was the gold foil. We applied Emporio’s logo using traditional hot stamp foil, a process that uses heat and pressure to press metallic gold directly into the card surface. It gives the branding real shine, a bit of texture and a tactile finish.
This isn’t just a nice-looking card, it’s a reflection of the values behind the brand: attention to detail, commitment to quality and a lasting impression that goes well beyond first contact.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “Colourcraft are very accommodating and always makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. I would highly them.” – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

Emporio Coffee: Custom Stickers for a Wellington Coffee Icon
When long-time client Emporio Coffee marked their 20th year in business, they trusted us once again to deliver. As one of Wellington’s original independent roasters, Emporio has built a reputation on quality and consistency - values that align perfectly with how we approach print. For this milestone, they needed high-quality branded stickers that could be applied to coffee bags across their retail and wholesale network.
We produced 15,000 circle stickers at 60mm diameter, printed on pre-cut blanks using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. The result was sharp colour, precise alignment, and a finish that held up well. We supplied the stickers as un-weeded A4 sheets, making them easy for the Emporio team to use in-house. Fast turnaround and flawless output meant they had what they needed, right on schedule.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review:
“We often require a broad range of labelling and promotional material, varying from large to small quantities. The team are always helpful, friendly and professional — producing very high quality products. I would highly recommend Colourcraft.” – Simon Maguire, General Manager, Emporio Coffee

Precision Under Pressure: Custom Perforated Invitations for Koko Creative
When Koko Creative needed 3,200 bespoke invitations for their Celebration of Mexico event, they came to us with a challenge most printers would walk away from. The artwork wasn’t just bold, it was highly technical. Each A5 invite had to break down into 16 perfectly aligned mini cards, each with a unique illustration framed by tight, uniform margins. If the print didn’t register precisely to the perforation, or if the perforation wasn’t spot-on in depth, the whole piece would fall apart.
We used offset printing to guarantee the consistency digital can’t deliver. Printed full colour on both sides onto 350gsm Advance Laser for a crisp, premium finish, then perforated with pinpoint accuracy. Then came the real magic: perforating each sheet accuracy, followed by a meticulous variable data merge: adding names, details and individual timings on the reverse. Each invite had to stay in the exact order provided in the spreadsheet, with personalised content dropping seamlessly into the design.
This project was a test of process, accuracy and trust. And we nailed it, on time, at volume, without compromise.

Precision in Every Deal: Custom Playing Cards for Kingsley Attwood
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.
