Built to Last: Outdoor Decals for Emporio Coffee
Emporio Coffee a much-loved Wellington roastery known for fuelling good people doing good stuff, asked for our help bring their new café clients signage to life. The challenge? Create a set of decals bold enough to grab attention—and tough enough to survive Wellington’s wild south coast.
Emporio needed durability, so we produced weather-resistant decals printed onto premium self-adhesive vinyl and over-laminated for added protection against UV, salt spray, and wear. Each decal was kiss-cut into a clean 330mm circle, perfectly sized for their custom powder-coated steel signs.
Printed using our Roland XR-640, the decals feature vibrant graphics that won’t fade or peel—no matter the conditions. The combination of eco-solvent inks and Avery Dennison 2904 vinyl, finished with a gloss DOL 2000 laminate, ensures exceptional resilience while maintaining colour brilliance.
These signs were distributed to Emporio’s café clients across Aotearoa—letting coffee lovers know they’re in good hands. We’re proud to support a Wellington brand that, like us, believes in quality, craft, and doing things properly.
At Colourcraft, we deliver print that performs—on the street, across the country, and in the elements.

This choice of stock added an elegant touch, thanks to its off-white colour and felt-marked textured finish.
The result is a stunning wedding invitation that beautifully reflects Tessa and Alan's unique style, setting the perfect stage for their special day. With our unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail, Colourcraft ensures that every invitation leaves a lasting impression.

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.

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.

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!”
