Quietly Brilliant: Saddle-Stitched Wine List Booklets for Hippopotamus at QT Wellington
On the third floor of QT Wellington, you’ll find Hippopotamus — a dining destination that pairs French-inspired decadence with local New Zealand flavour. Their award-winning wine program is no exception. With a list that spans over 100 pages, printed materials here aren’t just practical they’re part of the experience. When the team needed a way to present their wine list with the same attention to detail as the menu itself, they came to us.
We produce Hippopotamus’ extensive wine list as an A5 black-and-white booklet, typically running 80–100 pages per edition. Printed on clean, lightweight 120gsm Advance Laser stock, then creased, saddle-stitched, and trimmed to size, the result is simple, elegant and totally fit for purpose. It’s a no-fuss piece that works hard, feels right in the hand and keeps the guest focused on what matters: an exceptional wine selection.
What really matters here isn’t the paper weight, it’s the trust. QT Wellington has worked with us on over 400 projects since 2016, and when something needs printing: fast, accurately and without compromise, they know we’ll get it done. That’s why we’re their go-to team for everything from signage to high-tea menus to wine lists like this one.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“How would I operate without Ben from Colourcraft! Marketing can be a chaotic world but I never feel like I’m hassling the team here. Ben always goes above and beyond with quick turnarounds and an eagle eye over any print jobs I send his way. Forever thankful.” – Nikita Rawnsley-Wratt - QT Wellington
