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:

“Colourcraft are incredibly responsive, have fast turn around times, are competitively priced and always offer fantastic solutions and advice. Can highly recommend you try these guys out to see the difference.” – Heather Phillips, Director, Phillips & Partners

When it’s got to look sharp and hold up to real-world use, we’re your people.

Elegant and Professional: Miss Fox Aesthetics’ 2025 Treatment Menu

At Colourcraft, we specialise in high-quality printing that enhances the presentation of our clients’ brands. For Miss Fox Aesthetics, a beauty salon in Napier, we produced their 2025 treatment menu with a refined and professional finish.

The design was created by Sara-Jane at Designerbloom, a trusted graphic designer we’ve worked with since 2009. She recommended us for this project, knowing we would deliver a high-quality print that reflects the attention to detail in her design.

Printed in full colour on 170gsm Silk Matt stock, the menus have a smooth, premium feel. They were trimmed to 500 x 125mm and folded down to 125 x 125mm, making them compact and easy to handle.

This project highlights how thoughtful design and quality printing work together to create a polished final product. We’re pleased to have collaborated with Miss Fox Aesthetics and Designerbloom to bring this piece to life.

Helping Aotearoa Order Coffee in Te Reo — One Pocket Guide at a Time

When Te Taura Whiri the Māori Language Commission needed thousands of compact, high-impact guides ready for the fast-approaching Te Matatini Festival, they turned to us. As the Crown entity leading the revitalisation of te reo Māori, they were preparing a suite of language tools to help New Zealanders confidently use everyday phrases, this one focused on ordering a kawhe. Designed to slip into a pocket or wallet, these compact guides were designed to be genuinely useful, something people could actually keep and use in daily life.

Small format, big impact

We printed over 2,000 of these pocket-sized guides on 150gsm Silk Matt, durable but light, with a smooth satin finish that made the vivid CMYK colours pop. Trimmed and concertina folded down to just 52.5 x 90mm (smaller than a business card), the final format nailed both portability and usability. The Konica Minolta AccurioPress delivered crisp detail and perfect fold alignment, key when you’re packing a full language cheat sheet into such a small footprint.

Fast turnaround, zero compromise

This wasn’t just a one-off. We’ve reprinted this guide multiple times since, and it keeps showing up around the city, proof of its staying power. Folding at this scale isn’t always straightforward, but we got it right, on time, and without cutting corners.

Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:

“Ka pai ngā mahi a Colourcraft. We appreciate how responsive and timely they are as often we have urgent work required. The attention to quality as well as they were happy to send us proofs until it was tweaked to perfection. We'll continue to use Colourcraft as they have provided printing solutions for a range of resources we produce without fuss." – Kiriana Eparaima-Hautapu, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori

Premium Printed Carton Wraps & Sleeves NZ

Make Your Packaging Work Harder

If your cartons are doing the heavy lifting on product protection, your sleeves and wraps should be doing the selling. Our printed carton wraps and sleeves are perfect for tech startups, consumer goods brands, retailers and importers who want a premium, shelf-ready look without the cost or commitment of manufacturing fully custom cartons. Based in Wellington and delivering NZ-wide, we make it fast and easy to elevate your packaging so it reflects the quality inside.

High-Impact Branding, Fast Turnaround

We use premium carton boards, precision cutting, and high-quality print reproduction to ensure your wraps not only look sharp but fit perfectly. Whether you need seasonal editions, SKU-specific branding, or to re-badge imported stock, we can cut, crease and die-cut to suit almost any design — even adding windows or hang-sell slots. Scuff-resistant matt lamination options keep your product looking good longer, while small to medium run pricing makes it accessible for businesses of all sizes.
