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.

Document Folders with Premium Finishes: Faisandier Group
The Faisandier Group is a family-run property developer based in Lower Hutt, delivering premium townhouses that set a new benchmark for quality living across the Wellington region. With a reputation for craftsmanship and detail, they came to us for presentation folders that carried the same premium feel as their developments, polished, modern and built to last.
We produced custom printed document folders on heavyweight 320gsm Popset Black stock. To elevate the finish, we applied a blind spot UV gloss varnish over the Faisandier logo and brand icon, creating a striking contrast against the matte background. Each folder was precision diecut to size and supplied flat, complete with business card slits for easy use. The result: a piece of print that feels as considered and enduring as their homes.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review—part of the most entertaining one we’ve ever earned:
“The finest printer in all the land!… When other printers get wobbly legs and start dropping out of the race, Colourcraft are gliding majestically out in front, unmercifully crushing their competition with the greatest service a customer could ever hope for.” – Simon, Marketing & Communications Director

Bold Branding for Bold Coffee: Limited-Edition Wraps for Emporio x Phoenix FC
When Emporio Coffee teamed up with the Wellington Phoenix as their official coffee partner, they needed packaging that did more than hold beans, it had to celebrate the season. For this special edition, they created a custom coffee blend for fans and partners and asked us to bring the visual side of that story to life.
The brief: wrap-around sleeves for 250g pouches, featuring a bold commissioned illustration of the Phoenix. The goal? Make it feel premium and worthy of both shelf and supporter.
We printed a short run of 250 card wraps using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us sharp CMYK colour and dead-accurate alignment. Each sleeve was printed on sturdy 300gsm Advance Laser stock, creased in four spots for a snug fit and finished with double-sided tape for fast application by the Emporio team. Delivered flat, creased and ready to go.
It’s a great example of how short-run print can still make an impact. Eye-catching, on-brand and built with care, just like Emporio’s coffee.
“The Colourcraft team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional… they makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products.” – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

Premium Presence, Built to Travel: Pull-Up Banners for ACE New Zealand
ACE New Zealand needed a set of six pull-up banners that looked as credible as the organisation itself. As the peak body representing consulting firms in New Zealand’s built and natural environment sectors, their print needed to reflect the same level of professionalism and clarity they bring to policy, procurement and practice. These banners would be used across a range of industry events and leadership forums so durability, visual impact and ease of use were non-negotiable. They came to us for premium execution, not shortcuts.
We used a scrimless grey-backed PVC banner material, which delivers a clean, smooth surface with zero texture showing through, ideal for professional environments. Paired with our Roland XR-640 eco-solvent printer, we locked in deep colour, crisp edges, and graphics that pop from across the room. The banners were trimmed and installed into silver Prestige hardware a sturdy, sleek banner hardware that comes with and a padded carry bag for easy transport. This combo doesn’t just look good—it lasts.

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
