When Heyday Beer Co needed a smart way to transport their tap badges securely from brewery to bar, we delivered a solution that’s since become an industry staple. Their Cuba Street brewery is known for fresh, small-batch beer and bold branding, so they needed packaging that wasn’t just practical but consistent across repeat orders. Our folding keg collar design ticked every box—strong, dependable and proven to survive cold storage and delivery.

Smart structure, proven reliability

Printed digitally on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board, each keg collar is diecut flat for easy storage and then folded around the tap badge when it’s time to ship. The clever locking design means no staples, no loose badges and no wasted time. This is a proven solution we’ve produced and reprinted for Heyday more than ten times since 2018. That consistency shows the design works and the product does exactly what it’s meant to: protect tap badges in transit.

One idea, many options

The folding keg collar style used by Heyday is just one option we’ve developed in-house. For breweries that don’t need the lock-in structure, we also produce a flat keg collar style—more cost-effective, but with the same durable stock and precision diecutting. Both styles scale easily, giving breweries of any size print that’s fit for purpose, looks sharp and holds up in the real world.

We’ve been printing tap badges for Urbanaut Brewing Co. since the beginning, literally. They took a chance on us back in 2017 after a cold email and over 130 orders later, we’re still part of their production flow.

Based in Kingsland, Auckland, Urbanaut is known for pushing boundaries, releasing bold, international-inspired beers and pumping out fresh drops at pace. With over 200 unique beers under their belt (and counting), they needed a tap badge solution that could keep up with their release cycle and venue rotation.

We print their 73mm circular tap badges using removable-grade vinyl, designed to hold strong while the keg is on and peel away cleanly when the next beer rolls in. No sticky mess. No damaged hardware. Just easy changeovers for busy bars.

Our setup pairs Orajet removable vinyl with HP Latex 365 technology, giving us fast curing times, crisp detail and vibrant colour. The combo is ideal for breweries with high-volume needs and short-term installs, where cost, ease of use and clean removal all matter.

There’s no drama, no delays, and no hand-holding needed. After 8 years and 100+ jobs, we’ve become part of how Urbanaut moves beer, from brewery to bar, badge by badge.

When we first approached Comprendé Property Management back in 2018, they were already making waves in Wellington’s property scene. It took a few follow-ups, but we eventually won their trust, and we’ve been their go-to print partner ever since. Today, they manage nearly 800 properties across Wellington and the Hutt, and lean on us to produce the day-to-day print materials they use to communicate with prospects, landlords, and tenants alike.

We print and reprint a range of collateral for Comprendé, including A6 and A5 flyers, booklets, brocures, postcards and decals with each piece printed in full colour and creased, folded, or trimmed to spec. The consistency matters — especially for a brand that prides itself on professionalism and trust.

To keep things seamless, we’ve built a custom workflow just for them. Their artwork, whether supplied by their in-house marketing team or external designers, gets automatically checked and corrected for brand colours using specs we’ve stored from their guidelines. That way, no matter who sends the file, the final result always looks right. Combine that with 40+ orders a year, and you've got a system that saves everyone time.
