Crafting Quality: Salt District Brewing's Growler Hang Tags
When Salt District Brewing, a small brewery located in Whangamatā approached us, their aim was to improve the quality of their printed materials in time for the upcoming summer season. With new brewing equipment on the way, they were preparing to expand their presence throughout the Coromandel.
Salt District Brewing proudly offers a range of handcrafted, on-site brewed beers to customers in reusable glass growlers. They entrusted us with the task of producing a run of growler hang tags. These hang tags were printed in full colour on robust 283gsm Kraft Board, ensuring both durability and visual appeal. Then we precisely die-cut them into the hang tag shape.
At Colourcraft, we take great pride in assisting businesses like Salt District Brewing in leaving a lasting impression on their customers. When quality matters, choose Colourcraft.

Built to Travel: Folding Keg Collars for Heyday Beer Co
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.

Premium Client Comms: Custom Wiro-Bound Notebooks for Grochem via Phillips & Partners
When Wellington-based comms agency Phillips & Partners needed a high-quality printed piece for their client Grochem, they came straight to us. Known for managing social and strategic messaging for NZ businesses, the team at Phillips & Partners were after something tangible, an A4, custom-designed notebook that would celebrate Grochem’s work and leave a lasting impression with clients and stakeholders. With over 250 pages, this wasn’t just a throwaway promo item, it was designed to leave a mark.
We worked closely with Phillips & Partners to bring the concept to life, producing 200 copies of the 258-page notebook. Each was bound with heavy-duty white wiro for durability, and featured full-colour marketing inserts printed on 240gsm Advance Laser stock. The internal pages, printed crisp and clean in black on 120gsm Advance Laser, perfect for writing and longevity. Covers were printed double-sided on 400gsm Silk Matt, finished with a premium matt laminate to protect the books through heavy use.
Wiro-binding something this thick isn’t easy, but with heavy 2:1 gauge wire, we made it work without compromising quality. These notebooks weren’t just printed, they were engineered for daily use in the real world.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:

Capturing the essence of elegant design: Issue 1 of the Emma Brown Design Journal
At Colourcraft, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous talented designers and creative businesses. One such project that stands out is Issue 1 of the Emma Brown Design Journal, a printed journal that embodies the essence of elegant architectural and interior design.
The graphic design for the journal was expertly crafted by the Jemma Cheer Design Company. Printed on a 150gsm Advanced Laser paper, the journal measured 192 x 297mm, providing ample space for Emma Brown Design to showcase its portfolio.
The journal's cover, undersized at A5, was gold foiled on black stock, by Windmill Press. This attention to detail set the tone for what lay inside the journal.
Within its 40 pages, the Design Journal took readers on a journey through the studio's notable projects and design philosophies. Four transparent pages featuring text overlays were printed onto translucent paper, beautifully overlaying the stunning photography of Emma Brown's interior design work.
The journal also included an undersized insert, printed on a charming 135gsm pink stock. This insert served as a gateway to discover more about Emma Brown Design, providing additional information about their studio, team, and the values that drive their creative process.
In this project, we took pride in collaborating with the Jemma Cheer Design studio and Windmill Press to bring Emma Brown Design's vision to life. The Emma Brown Design Journal stands as a testament to our dedication to delivering quality printing services that elevate and showcase the outstanding work of our clients.
