Bold Branding Meets Shelf Appeal: Folding Hang Tags for Hallertau Brewery
Hallertau Brewery is no ordinary brewpub. Based in Riverhead, they’re known for bold craft beer, wood-fired food, and a venue that feels part biergarten, part backyard. So when they launched a limited-run Bolognese sauce—yes, a handcrafted sauce from a craft brewery they needed packaging that told the story just as well as the product itself. The ask? A folding hang tag that could carry a full recipe, reflect their premium brand, and still hang neatly from a bottle on shelf.
We digitally printed 250 concertina-fold tags on 250gsm Top Flight board—thick enough to hold its shape but still fold beautifully. Full-colour on both sides gave Hallertau’s white-on-red branding the punch it needed, while the inner panels detailed ingredients and prep instructions. Everything was die-cut to a custom shape using a new cutting form, then weeded and supplied flat for final folding onsite.
This piece did double duty: it told a story and sold the product. The compact 45x94mm folded size made it perfect for retail, while the unfolding action encouraged customers to interact with the brand. That’s not just packaging—that’s engagement.

Creating a colour reference guide for Awanui
At Colourcraft, we take great pride in delivering premium printing services. In collaboration with the renowned graphic design studio Ocean Design, we have printed a comprehensive colour reference guide for Awanui. This A3-sized document serves as a benchmark for Awanui's brand, stakeholders and suppliers throughout the country.
The guide provides essential information and resources related to Awanui colour usage and establishes target, acceptable, and unacceptable colour standards. Additionally, the guide includes perforated tear-out colour swatches for convenient reference.
The front and back covers were printed in colour on 350gsm Silk Matt paper. A protective matt lamination was applied to the covers, ensuring durability and longevity. The pages were printed on 256gsm Silk Matt paper, incorporated die-cut elements to create a colour-isolating window for precise colour comparison and featured transparent pages printed on synthetic transparent stock to demonstrate target, acceptable, and unacceptable colour standards. The entire guide was wiro-bound, providing a sturdy and professional finish that allows easy navigation and usage.
The result is a meticulously crafted reference guide that reflects the professionalism and dedication of Awanui.
Awanui, with its extensive network and commitment to providing laboratory testing and pathology services to thousands of New Zealanders daily, entrusted us with this project. We are proud to have contributed to their branding transition and to have produced a high-quality reference guide that will serve as a valuable resource within their organisation and beyond.

Luxury in the Details: Gold Foil Save the Date Cards for Jack & Maggie
When Jack & Maggie started planning their wedding, they had a clear vision: no generic invites—something bold, timeless, and remarkable. They were referred to us by another print shop that couldn’t produce the order and we were more than happy to step in. What they wanted was deceptively simple: a completely unprinted black card with all design elements done in gold foil. Clean. Minimal. Timeless.
We used 350gsm Notturno a premium deep black Italian board, chosen for its matte texture and rich colour that runs through the sheet. It’s a true luxury stock and pairs beautifully with hot foil. The cards were 148mm square, finished entirely in gold foil with no ink at all. That meant every graphic element, text, layout, accents had to be pressed in foil with complete precision.
Foiling like this isn’t for the faint of heart or budget. The process requires us to machine a custom metal block, dial in precise pressure and heat, and run each card through. It’s not cheap. Setup alone can run close to $500, which is why we only recommend this approach for clients who are absolutely committed to the look and are okay with the per-unit cost that comes with short runs. For those working to a tighter budget, we’ve got beautiful alternatives in our wedding stationery range that deliver high impact without the high spend.
Dreaming of something just as bold for your big day?, or want to find the right balance of wow factor and cost? Let’s talk. We’ll give you honest advice and a tailored quote with no pressure.

Built tough: heavy-duty decals for Dynaflow and Enzed
At Colourcraft, we specialise in producing high-performance print work that goes the distance. Dynaflow, a trusted name in hydraulic engineering and an authorised distributor for ENZED, approached us to create a set of durable decals suitable for use in some of New Zealand’s toughest workshop environments.
Designed for long-lasting performance in rugged conditions, we printed these decals using our Roland XR-640 wide format printer, renowned for its crisp detail, bold colours, and exceptional durability. Each decal was printed onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 self-adhesive vinyl, then laminated with a gloss Avery Dennison DOL 2000 film to protect against UV, moisture, and abrasion. The decals were kiss cut to shape for easy application in the field.
Used across machinery and workspaces serviced by ENZED Hose Doctors, these decals combine practical durability with a professional finish—helping Dynaflow present a polished brand in even the harshest conditions.
We’re proud to support New Zealand businesses like Dynaflow with print solutions that are as tough and reliable as they are. Quality and attention to detail—every time.
