Clear, Trusted Comms: A5 Guidebook Printing for Metlink
When Metlink needed to communicate major updates to Wellington’s public transport network, they came to us with one clear goal: make it simple, clear and fast. This wasn’t just a design job, it was a public-facing document designed to help thousands of commuters navigate timetable and connection changes across buses, trains and ferries. The result? A sleek, accessible A5 guidebook that matched Metlink’s brand and met a tight rollout deadline.
We took care of the full production, starting with layout and design based on supplied content, then printing 1,000 copies using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. That machine’s no-nonsense colour accuracy and consistency was exactly what the job needed. Printed CMYK throughout, the booklet featured a durable 240gsm offset cover and 120gsm offset pages giving it enough weight to feel substantial, but still easy to flick through. Finished with saddle-stitching and trimmed to A5 size, every copy looked crisp, professional and purpose-built.
Fast turnaround, no compromise on quality
We ran electronic proofs and even mocked up a physical proof to make sure everything hit the mark. Turnaround from layout to delivery was just a few days, because when public comms are on the line, deadlines matter.

Built for the Spotlight: Oversized Presentation Cheque for Stuff Digital
Stuff Digital approached us to produce a large-format oversized cheque for a public award presentation as part of the Stuff Art Aotearoa Gold Award. The brief was simple: create a professional, visually clear cheque suitable for stage use and photography, delivered in time for a fixed presentation date.
The supplied artwork needed some technical adjustment to work at scale, so we reviewed the files early and flagged resolution limitations before production. We guided the client on appropriate sizing and proportions, ensuring the artwork was scaled correctly without distortion and prepared a clean PDF proof for approval. With clear communication and quick sign-off, the project moved smoothly into production.
The cheque was printed at 1200 × 540mm using our HP Latex 365, which produces sharp, consistent results with water-based, odour-free inks—ideal for indoor event use. It was printed one-sided in CMYK onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 white gloss permanent vinyl, mounted to a 4mm paylite panel, and trimmed neatly to size. The finished piece was collected on schedule and used as intended for the presentation.
This was a straightforward project delivered efficiently, with a focus on accuracy, timing, and a clean final result.

Vibrant and Durable Wedding Panels
At Colourcraft, we’re honoured to play a small part in our clients’ big days. Earlier this year, Alice and Ruvin trusted us to print their wedding invitations, and as their special day approached, we were delighted to see them return. This time, they needed two display panels: a welcoming board to greet guests and a seating chart to guide them.
We turned to our reliable Roland XR-640 printer known for its excellent colour accuracy and durability, it produces prints that are resistant to scratches, fading, and water—ensuring the panels remained flawless throughout the celebration.
The graphics supplied by Alice and Ruvin were printed in vibrant full colour on quality white gloss permanent vinyl then were mounted onto 3mm thick Paylite board and trimmed them to size.
During the wedding season, we’re fortunate to produce wedding panels for couples nearly every week. With a streamlined process and commitment to quality, we do our very best to ensure every couple receives beautiful, durable printed panels to support their wedding day.

Eye-Catching & Easy to Use: Table Talkers for Parrotdog
Parrotdog Wellington’s own legendary craft brewery—came to us with a sharp idea. They needed vibrant, branded table talkers their Sales Reps could hand out to bars and restaurants stocking their beer. Simple. Standout. On-brand. These needed to be easy to distribute, easy to assemble, and hard to miss once set up on a table.
We took the brief and hopped it up.
Each piece was printed in full colour on 350gsm Silk Matt—an ultra-smooth, high-white stock with a professional feel. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to nail perfect colour consistency across the full run, so every talker looked just like the next—vibrant, precise and sharp.
To finish the job, we used the JWEI 6040—a precision digital cutter that handled the complex creases and custom edge work like a pro. It gave us precise creases and cleanly cut bevel flaps. No waste, no mess. Just clean, production-line quality from a machine built for short-run custom work.
Then double-sided tape was applied—ready for flat packing and easy on-site assembly. Simple for the reps, polished and professional for the venues, and built to carry the Parrotdog brand with pride.
The result? A practical, eye-catching display piece that feels as good as their beer tastes.

Emporio Coffee: Custom Stickers for a Wellington Coffee Icon
When long-time client Emporio Coffee marked their 20th year in business, they trusted us once again to deliver. As one of Wellington’s original independent roasters, Emporio has built a reputation on quality and consistency - values that align perfectly with how we approach print. For this milestone, they needed high-quality branded stickers that could be applied to coffee bags across their retail and wholesale network.
We produced 15,000 circle stickers at 60mm diameter, printed on pre-cut blanks using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. The result was sharp colour, precise alignment, and a finish that held up well. We supplied the stickers as un-weeded A4 sheets, making them easy for the Emporio team to use in-house. Fast turnaround and flawless output meant they had what they needed, right on schedule.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review:
“We often require a broad range of labelling and promotional material, varying from large to small quantities. The team are always helpful, friendly and professional — producing very high quality products. I would highly recommend Colourcraft.” – Simon Maguire, General Manager, Emporio Coffee
