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

Premium Hospitality Finish: A5 Menu Printing for QT Wellington
When it comes to bold design and creative flair, few places do it like QT Wellington. This iconic art hotel, just steps from Te Papa, brings together art, architecture and experience like no other. Their in-house restaurant, Hot Sauce, serves up high-impact Asian fusion in a setting that’s part street-style, part luxury lounge. To celebrate Chinese New Year, they needed a set of vibrant, durable A5 menus that could handle constant use without losing their visual punch. That’s where we came in.
We printed these menus on heavyweight 350gsm silk matt stock, using full CMYK on both sides then to protect the artwork and extend the life of each piece, we finished them with our premium scuff restraint matt laminate — a hard-wearing, low-glare coating built for high touch hospitality use. It’s tough, wipeable and holds up beautifully in a busy dining environment.
This wasn’t our first job for QT Wellington and definitely won’t be the last. Since 2016, we’ve handled over 400 print projects for the hotel: from menus and decals to door hangers, signage, and everything in between. We know what hospitality businesses need and we deliver fast, consistently, without cutting corners.
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 highly enough." – Gordon Douglas, Director of Food & Beverage

Thoughtful, Sustainable Packaging That Helped GrowProbe Go from Prototype to Market
When GrowProbe was ready to bring their innovative indoor plant moisture probe to market, they needed packaging that did more than just look good — it had to hold the product securely, be cost-effective and align with their eco-conscious values. The product wasn’t yet in stores, so the packaging had to make a strong first impression for online sales and future retail opportunities.
The client came to us with a draft backing card structure and the need for an interlocking feature to keep the probe in place. We refined the design to improve fit and function, suggested printing on both sides of a single-sided Kraftpak Kraft 283gsm board and produced multiple prototypes to perfect the form before committing to cutting tooling. This process allowed us to get the locking system right and create packaging that feels as considered as the product itself.
The final packaging was printed black on both sides, die-cut to shape and delivered with a natural kraft aesthetic that complements GrowProbe’s sustainable brand. The product launched smoothly, gaining traction online and through social media, with a reprint order following a few years later — proof that the design continues to perform.
If you’ve got a product ready for shelves (or the spotlight), we can help you make it launch-ready without overspending. Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.

Capturing the essence of elegant design: Issue 1 of the Emma Brown Design Journal
At Colourcraft, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous talented designers and creative businesses. One such project that stands out is Issue 1 of the Emma Brown Design Journal, a printed journal that embodies the essence of elegant architectural and interior design.
The graphic design for the journal was expertly crafted by the Jemma Cheer Design Company. Printed on a 150gsm Advanced Laser paper, the journal measured 192 x 297mm, providing ample space for Emma Brown Design to showcase its portfolio.
The journal's cover, undersized at A5, was gold foiled on black stock, by Windmill Press. This attention to detail set the tone for what lay inside the journal.
Within its 40 pages, the Design Journal took readers on a journey through the studio's notable projects and design philosophies. Four transparent pages featuring text overlays were printed onto translucent paper, beautifully overlaying the stunning photography of Emma Brown's interior design work.
The journal also included an undersized insert, printed on a charming 135gsm pink stock. This insert served as a gateway to discover more about Emma Brown Design, providing additional information about their studio, team, and the values that drive their creative process.
In this project, we took pride in collaborating with the Jemma Cheer Design studio and Windmill Press to bring Emma Brown Design's vision to life. The Emma Brown Design Journal stands as a testament to our dedication to delivering quality printing services that elevate and showcase the outstanding work of our clients.
