Bold and Durable: Havana Coffee Works Celebrates 35 Years with Custom Posters
At Colourcraft, we take pride in creating premium printed products that capture the essence of our client’s vision. When Wellington coffee legends Havana Coffee Works celebrated their remarkable milestone of 35 years, they entrusted us to produce a collection of custom posters to celebrate the event.
Known for their unapologetically bold coffee and vibrant branding, Havana designed a custom ‘Cheers to 35 Years’ artwork to mark this special occasion. Our task was to bring their vision to life, producing 50 posters in a range of sizes: A3, A2, A1, and A0.
We used durable, eco-solvent inks printed onto scratch and tear-resistant synthetic stock to ensure these posters could withstand high-traffic café environments. This choice of materials resulted in vivid, lightfast posters that are as resilient as they are striking.
The printing was carried out on our Roland XR-640, a machine renowned for its eco-solvent ink technology. This equipment ensures high-impact visuals while providing exceptional resistance to wear, water, and UV exposure. The result? Posters that retain their vibrancy and quality, even in the most demanding conditions.
We are proud to have played a part in celebrating 35 years of Havana Coffee Works—a brand synonymous with bold Wellington coffee culture. These posters are a very small testament to the spirit of Havana: vibrant, enduring, and unapologetically bold.

Bringing Te Reo Māori to Life: Printed Paylite Panels for the Māori Language Commission
At Colourcraft, we were privileged to work with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, the Māori Language Commission to produce a series of A2 and A3 Paylite panels for their office. Using graphics provided by the client, we created 14 high-quality panels in sizes ranging from A3 to A2.
Each panel was printed in full colour on premium Avery Dennison vinyl, ensuring rich, vibrant tones. The prints were mounted on 6mm thick Paylite and finished with a matt lamination, sealing the graphics and enhancing durability. This finishing touch creates a refined, non-reflective surface, ideal for high-traffic areas.
To achieve these vibrant and long-lasting results, we used our Roland XR-640 printer, known for its exceptional print quality. Equipped with eco-solvent ink technology, the XR-640 produces vivid, resilient prints that are water, wear, and UV-resistant – the perfect solution for durable and eye-catching displays like those created for Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.
If your business requires durable, vibrant Paylite panels for office displays, promotional materials, or trade-show signage, we’d be delighted to help bring your vision to life. At Colourcraft, we pride ourselves on delivering premium results tailored to your needs. Contact us today for a quote, and let’s create something together.

Premium Impact, Faithfully Delivered: Gift Boxes for Arise Church's Passionate Conference
Arise Church is one of Aotearoa’s most dynamic and well-known faith communities, with campuses across the country. Their annual Passionate Women’s Conference draws thousands of attendees and is known for its world-class production and powerful, purpose-driven message. Arise needed something small but stunning a premium gift box that matched the scale and energy of the conference while honouring the women it celebrated. We've worked with Arise since their early days in Wellington, so when they asked us to deliver 1700 bespoke pillow boxes, we were all in.
Each box was crafted from 240gsm Rothmill Mulberry a deep, berry-toned board with a smooth matte finish. Onto that, we applied hot stamp foil in either metallic gold or silver (850 of each) bringing bold contrast and serious shine to the “Seated & Celebrated” graphic. The foiling process we use creates not just visual impact but also a subtle debossed texture that feels as good as it looks. Once foiled, every piece was precision die-cut and glued to shape—ready to be flat-packed, transported, and assembled with ease on site.
The result? A compact, curved pillow box with a boutique look and a tactile finish that elevated the unboxing moment into something meaningful. It’s proof that the small details matter, and when done well, they leave a lasting impression.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:

Helping Aotearoa Order Coffee in Te Reo — One Pocket Guide at a Time
When Te Taura Whiri the Māori Language Commission needed thousands of compact, high-impact guides ready for the fast-approaching Te Matatini Festival, they turned to us. As the Crown entity leading the revitalisation of te reo Māori, they were preparing a suite of language tools to help New Zealanders confidently use everyday phrases, this one focused on ordering a kawhe. Designed to slip into a pocket or wallet, these compact guides were designed to be genuinely useful, something people could actually keep and use in daily life.
Small format, big impact
We printed over 2,000 of these pocket-sized guides on 150gsm Silk Matt, durable but light, with a smooth satin finish that made the vivid CMYK colours pop. Trimmed and concertina folded down to just 52.5 x 90mm (smaller than a business card), the final format nailed both portability and usability. The Konica Minolta AccurioPress delivered crisp detail and perfect fold alignment, key when you’re packing a full language cheat sheet into such a small footprint.
Fast turnaround, zero compromise
This wasn’t just a one-off. We’ve reprinted this guide multiple times since, and it keeps showing up around the city, proof of its staying power. Folding at this scale isn’t always straightforward, but we got it right, on time, and without cutting corners.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Ka pai ngā mahi a Colourcraft. We appreciate how responsive and timely they are as often we have urgent work required. The attention to quality as well as they were happy to send us proofs until it was tweaked to perfection. We'll continue to use Colourcraft as they have provided printing solutions for a range of resources we produce without fuss." – Kiriana Eparaima-Hautapu, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori

Premium First Impressions: Business Cards for FlexiTime & Invoxy
When the Wellington-based team behind FlexiTime and Invoxy needed updated business cards, they came straight to us—again. We’ve worked with them since 2016, and nearly a decade later, they’re still part of the Colourcraft family. As a leading SaaS company helping recruitment agencies and businesses manage flexible workforces, FlexiTime needed their brand to feel sharp, modern, and polished—right down to the card in your hand.
We printed their business cards on 350gsm Silk Matt stock, with full-colour CMYK on both sides. The soft-touch matt laminate not only gives a smooth, professional feel—it also improves durability, so cards stay clean and crisp even after weeks in a wallet or bag. Trimmed to a clean 90x55mm, the cards strike the right balance between presence and practicality.
"After trying multiple printing companies with mixed results we came across Colourcraft and have never looked back. The quality of the product and service are of the highest standard and we recommend them to anyone looking for a printing solution." – James Barber, Lead Designer at FlexiTime & Invoxy
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share: “We keep coming back to Colourcraft again and again! The service is incredible and the product is always top quality.” – Emily Daly, FlexiTime
