Elegant Print, Tiny Format: A Mini Cookbook for The Aristologist
The Aristologist is one of New Zealand’s most distinctive publications—a journal and symposium series dedicated to preserving the food history of Aotearoa and its neighbours. When editor Duncan Galletly came to us with A New Zealand Cookbook by Pummereboo, a quirky 20-page volume of recipes from 1849, including gems like “Dog Tail Soup,” the brief was simple: make it small, sharp, and archival. At just 75 x 100mm, this project pushed the limits of what’s practical in booklet printing—and that’s exactly why he came to us. We’ve been printing The Aristologist journal for 15+ years, and when something unique is needed, we know how to deliver.
We digitally printed 70 copies using a mix of high-quality stocks for both look and feel. The sky-blue cover was printed CMYK on 240gsm Pop’Set—an uncoated, smooth paper that holds colour beautifully and feels great in-hand. The internal pages were printed in crisp black ink on 135gsm Eco-100, a 100% recycled stock that lends both texture and integrity. Finished with saddle-stitching and precision-trimmed to miniature size, the result is a compact print piece that feels deliberate, not gimmicky.
Not every print shop tackles projects this small, but after years working with The Aristologist, we’ve learned how to get the details right when it matters most.

Precision Under Pressure: Custom Card Decks & Presentation Cartons for Datacom’s Datapay Event
When Datacom came to us ahead of a high-profile Datapay event, they needed something more memorable than a brochure, something tactile, premium and engaging. The ask: 50 full sets of custom-designed signal cards (35 per set), plus sleek, branded cartons to house each deck. Oh, and they needed it all in just over a week.
Tight timelines and complex finishing? We were in our element.
We prepped the card artwork for digital print on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its outstanding colour fidelity and precise registration. Each card was printed double-sided in CMYK on 300gsm satin stock, finished with a matt laminate for durability and a refined, scuff-resistant texture. We digitally die-cut each one to 63 x 89mm with 4mm rounded corners — spot on, every time.
For the cartons, we used 320gsm Burano Nero Black — an uncoated, deep-black board known for its rich tone and consistency. The lids were screen printed in spot UV gloss varnish to highlight the Datapay brand with impact and precision. Each carton was assembled, packed with its custom card set, and delivered in full by the client’s deadline.
Once again, we delivered premium results under pressure, with no compromises.
Serious about quality? So are we. Every detail matters—and we don’t miss.

Trade Show-Ready Print Collateral: A5 Folder, Flyers & Brochure for KiwiCamp
When Wellington-based PR agency Phillips & Partners approached us, they needed a complete set of high-quality, ready-to-use marketing materials for their client, KiwiCamp. With a trade show just around the corner, the brief was simple: produce a professional, cohesive collateral package that clearly communicated KiwiCamp’s innovative “pay only for what you use” camping model — and have it ready fast.
We developed a coordinated set of four pieces: an A5 presentation folder, two A5 flyers, and a square 8-page brochure with a fold-out cover. Each piece was printed on premium Advance Laser stock, chosen for its crisp print quality and durability under frequent handling. The folder was die-cut to shape using an existing standing die — a smart choice that saved both time and cost without compromising presentation. All items were printed in vibrant CMYK for consistent colour across the set and trimmed to exact sizes for a clean, professional finish.
The result was a flexible toolkit of marketing materials that Phillips & Partners could adapt and expand as KiwiCamp grew. The project also laid the foundation for an ongoing working relationship — seven years later, we’re still collaborating with members of that original team in their new roles.
