Reliable, Brand-Ready Tags: Custom Growler Labels for Ground Up Brewing
When you’re an award-winning brewery in Wanaka with 22 taps and a cult following, your brand collateral needs to work just as hard as you do. Ground Up Brewing came to us needing robust, good-looking growler hang tags that could handle the cold and still hold their shape. These tags are more than labels, they help drive takeaway sales, keep things compliant and make the brand look tight across every product leaving the taproom.
We print these on Formakote Natura 300gsm, a food-grade carton board that holds up in chillers and fridges without curling or going soggy. Each run includes three variations, digitally printed in crisp CMYK on the front, with black on the reverse. The tags are die-cut to a proven shape using a standing die we’ve refined over time with breweries across the country. In short: no guesswork, no delay, just tags that work and look sharp.
Thanks to our Konica Minolta AccurioPress and JWEI digital die-cutter, we keep this job fast and consistent — every time. We've run this order five times now, and since their first job in 2021, Ground Up have come back to us over 30 times for everything from keg collars to tap decals.
When quality matters and timing can't slip, they trust us to deliver—and we do.

Reusable and Ready to Go: Free-Standing Display Panels for Fix & Fogg
Fix & Fogg, Fix & Fogg, the Wellington-based legends behind some of the world’s best nut butters, approached us with a clear brief: they needed eye-catching, portable display panels that could hold their own at food shows—and be reused across multiple events. These displays had to be easy to store, tough enough to handle transport, and most importantly, stand up.
We delivered exactly that. Using our Roland XR-640 printer, we produced vibrant, full-colour prints on Avery Dennison MPI 2904 gloss permanent vinyl. That vinyl was then mounted to 3mm Paylite panels—lightweight, durable, and clean-edged—before being precision trimmed and fitted with a fold-out strut on the reverse. The result? A crisp, freestanding panel that flat-packs for storage, stands solid on-site, and turns heads wherever it’s placed.
Over the past six months, we’ve worked closely with the Fix & Fogg team to create more than 10 different variations of these panels—ranging from menus and price lists to promotional messaging and event signage. It’s a simple, low-cost format that punches well above its weight.
Here’s what Shenae from Fix & Fogg had to say:
“The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks Team!”

Beer. Poetry. Branding: Coasters That Carried the Message for 8 Wired
When one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed craft breweries launches a campaign that invites customers to write beer-inspired haiku, the print has to be as clever as the concept. 8 Wired Brewing came to us looking for high-quality, low-cost branded coasters to support their “Brew Haiku” promotion. They needed something sturdy, good-looking, and fast. We delivered.
To keep things sharp and economical, we digitally printed 2,000 customised coasters using a durable 350gsm stock—ideal for absorbing the odd spill while still showing off full-colour artwork. Each coaster was printed double-sided in CMYK, then diecut to a clean 100mm circle to fit the standard beer glass footprint. We also tweaked the supplied artwork to work within the dieline, and sent a full mockup for sign-off before the presses rolled.
Turnaround was tight, but we nailed the timing. The job went from file to final delivery in a matter of days, giving 8 Wired everything they needed to kick off the campaign without a hitch. Print that looks good and gets there on time? That’s what we’re about.
“Wonderful to deal with such a professional team. We had a tight timeline, so Ben and the team made sure we received the product in time. Thanks Team!”
– Monique Eriksen, 8 Wired Brewing

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.
