Premium Student Work, Done Right: Aimee’s Typographic Specimen Booklet
Aimee a typography student came to us with a clear brief and a beautifully designed type specimen project part of her final hand-in for Massey University. She’d heard from her tutor that we were the go-to team for high-quality student work. And she wasn’t wrong. From the moment we saw her files, we knew this wasn’t a job for cheap paper and basic finishing.
To do the design justice, we printed her covers in solid white ink onto rich, velvety 300gsm Notturno Black card — a premium Italian board chosen for its depth of colour and texture. Inside, we used a mix of 128gsm Silk Matt (for colour accuracy), pearlescent, and transparent sheets to give contrast and rhythm across the 84 internal pages. Every section was imposed and supplied as flat, nested sets — ready for hand binding with exposed Coptic stitching by the talented Susan at Peacock Bindery.
The result? A piece that feels more like an art book than a student project. It’s tactile, layered and shows off Aimee’s type work with the clarity and presence it deserves.
Printing high-end student projects like this is something we genuinely enjoy and take just as seriously as any commercial job.

Bottle Wraps with Gold Foil Impact: Garage Project’s Mutiny on the Bounty
Garage Project is no stranger to pushing creative boundaries in craft beer — and when they needed a standout bottle wrap for their South Pacific–inspired stout, Garage Project came to us. Designed by Wellington illustrator Tim Gibson of Flying Whities, the artwork deserved a print finish that would capture the same boldness and flair as the beer inside. This was never going to be a plain label — it needed to be premium, distinctive, and ready to hold its own on a crowded shelf.
We produced custom wraps on Eco-100 stock, printed full colour both sides, and finished with hot stamp gold foil for a striking metallic detail. That foiled accent gave the design depth and light-catching impact — the kind of premium finish that not only elevates the artwork, but also communicates the quality of the beer before the first sip. To ensure Garage Project could launch on time and keep up with demand, we ran fast-turnaround digital prints for the first batch, followed by larger offset print runs with die-cut finishing. The result: consistent, high-quality wraps delivered to spec — every time.
This has become an ongoing project with Garage Project. When they need premium packaging done right, they know we can deliver quickly without compromise.

Elevating Impressions: RescueMetrics' Distinctive Triple-Mounted Business Cards
At Colourcraft, our commitment to delivering premium service and exceptional quality shines through in every project we take on.
Tim from RescueMetrics, a Wellington-based leader in precise campaign tracking, had an upcoming business trip to Japan and wanted to make a lasting impression. We embraced the challenge of crafting business cards that would captivate and endure.
We created a set of triple-mounted cards, a unique approach that adds depth and sophistication to the traditional business card.
The cards were constructed with three layers of cardstock. The outer layers, made from 256gsm white stock, encased a core layer of colorplan stock, selected to match RescueMetrics' signature purple brand colour.
To ensure these cards would stand the test of time while offering a tactile experience, we applied scuff-resistant matt lamination to both sides. This not only provides a soft-touch finish but also improves durability over time.
RescueMetrics' logo was further enhanced with a UV gloss varnish, applied to create a captivating contrast with the matt laminated background.
The result? A set of business cards that not only commands attention but also embody RescueMetrics' professionalism and commitment to excellence.
At Colourcraft, our devotion to premium quality and craftsmanship remains unwavering. As a Wellington-based printing and graphics leader since 1985, we hold true to our commitment to quality and client satisfaction – a promise backed by more than 60 five-star Google reviews.
