MacDiarmid Institute Annual Reports: High-Quality Print for Impactful Research Communication

The MacDiarmid Institute is New Zealand’s leading Centre of Research Excellence, specialising in advanced materials and nanotechnology. The Institute needed a trusted print partner to produce their annual reports, key documents that showcase their groundbreaking research and significant contributions to science and innovation. With design crafted by Gary at the Gas Project, these reports required precision quality to reflect the professionalism and precision of the Institute’s work.

For the 2017, 2018, and 2019 reports, we digitally printed on Advance Laser stock, selected for its sharp finish and reliable colour consistency. The covers used 240gsm paper for durability, while the internal pages were printed on a lighter 120gsm stock, balancing quality with ease of handling. Perfect binding gave the 2018 and 2019 editions a clean, professional look, while the 2017 report featured a sewn open bind with an exposed spine—highlighting the craftsmanship involved. Using our Ricoh C9100 press ensured vibrant, consistent CMYK colour reproduction, perfectly suited to the detailed infographics and images that bring the reports to life.

Each year, we worked closely with the client to prepare print-ready files, provide proof approvals, and meet delivery schedules. The collaboration ensured every page was crisp and the final product aligned with the Institute’s high standards.

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.
