Fueling Growth: Premium Booklets for Sportsfuel’s Quarterly Digest
Sportsfuel Supplements one of New Zealand’s leading online supplement stores—came to us with a clear mission: to create a high-quality, professionally printed booklet that would inform and inspire their customer base. They wanted a quarterly digest that reflected their values—trusted advice, premium products, and next-level service.
We kicked things off with a full mockup proof. It gave the Sportsfuel team a tangible feel for the final product and ensured every detail was locked before going to full production. Once approved, we printed 1,000 copies on Advance Laser 120gsm offset stock—a smart, quality paper that’s perfect for saddle-stitched booklets and delivers sharp text with crisp, clean colour.
Using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 (with inline IQ-501 colour control), we guaranteed flawless colour consistency from cover to cover. Each booklet was saddle-stapled, trimmed to size, and delivered on time—ready to ship out with Sportsfuel’s online orders.
A year later, Sportsfuel has printed three more editions, adjusted the magazine’s size to better fit their packaging, and is now exploring a 5x increase in volume. That’s real traction.
“Working with the team at Colourcraft has been an absolute pleasure! They were incredibly patient and helpful while assisting us to come up with our first print series. I would definitely recommend them and am looking forward to working with them again!” — Abbie Younger, Sportsfuel

Premium Impact, Faithfully Delivered: Gift Boxes for Arise Church's Passionate Conference
Arise Church is one of Aotearoa’s most dynamic and well-known faith communities, with campuses across the country. Their annual Passionate Women’s Conference draws thousands of attendees and is known for its world-class production and powerful, purpose-driven message. Arise needed something small but stunning a premium gift box that matched the scale and energy of the conference while honouring the women it celebrated. We've worked with Arise since their early days in Wellington, so when they asked us to deliver 1700 bespoke pillow boxes, we were all in.
Each box was crafted from 240gsm Rothmill Mulberry a deep, berry-toned board with a smooth matte finish. Onto that, we applied hot stamp foil in either metallic gold or silver (850 of each) bringing bold contrast and serious shine to the “Seated & Celebrated” graphic. The foiling process we use creates not just visual impact but also a subtle debossed texture that feels as good as it looks. Once foiled, every piece was precision die-cut and glued to shape—ready to be flat-packed, transported, and assembled with ease on site.
The result? A compact, curved pillow box with a boutique look and a tactile finish that elevated the unboxing moment into something meaningful. It’s proof that the small details matter, and when done well, they leave a lasting impression.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:

Craft Backing Craft: Bold Tap Badges for Hallertau Brewery
We’ve been working with Hallertau Brewery since 2016, printing tap badges for over 70 separate orders and a wide range of beers brewed right beside their iconic Auckland taproom.
Located in Riverhead, Hallertau isn’t just a brewery, it’s a full-blown experience. Their wood-fired kitchen, lush biergarten and ever-evolving beer list are matched by one thing: bold, confident design.
That’s where we come in.
We print their 73mm circular tap badges using a removable vinyl + Latex print setup designed to stick when needed, but peel clean when the keg empties. It’s a perfect match for venues like Hallertau, where the beer lines are always moving.
Their design style is strong, rich colours, sharp contrast, and high-impact graphics that pop behind the bar. Our HP Latex 365 setup gives us the sharpness and vibrancy to do their artwork justice, without compromising turnaround or practicality.
With Hallertau, it’s not about one job, it’s about consistency over years. Every order is another chapter in a long-term collaboration between brewers and printers who care about the craft.

Streamlining Declarations with Practical Guides: Printed for NZ Customs
Colourcraft proudly undertook a project for the New Zealand Customs Service, to enhance border processes through the production of a translation guide for the New Zealand Traveller Declaration Form.
Our team carefully printed the 62-page guidebooks, featuring translations in 29 languages. Printed in full colour and in the branding of NZ Customs, the guidebooks were printed on sturdy 300gsm stock to ensure durability. Each page received scuff-resistant matt lamination to enhance longevity amid daily use.
Bound with a straightforward left-edge wiro binding using white wire, the guidebooks were distributed to airports nationwide, serving as valuable references for both travellers and the NZ Customs team.
The project's success became evident as NZ Customs returned for another print run, and the Ministry of Primary Industries commissioned a batch of their own.
Colourcraft takes pride in supporting NZ Customs processes with these durable, high-quality guidebooks. Our commitment is consistently demonstrated through the delivery of practical, quality printing solutions, for clients in business, industry and government.

Crafted with Precision: Floating Rock's Premium Business Cards
At Colourcraft, we take pride in delivering premium service and exceptional quality in every project we undertake. One of our recent endeavours was working with Floating Rock, a boutique animation studio based in Wellington, Aotearoa, known for its high-quality animated cinematic experiences and slick visual effects.
For their business cards, we were supplied with a design that reflects the studio's creativity and professionalism and were asked to print a set of business cards that would leave a lasting impression.
Once the cards were printed to enhance durability, we applied a scuff-resistant matt lamination on both sides of the cards, providing a soft touch finish and ensuring they would stand up well over time. On one side, we incorporated the Floating Rock logo using a blind spot UV gloss varnish. This technique created a glossy effect that contracts with the matt laminated background.
On the reverse side of the business cards, we applied a hot stamp foiling with blue metallic foil to embellish the founder's name and the floating rock icon. The reflective metallic blue brought a touch of class, adding depth to the design and which contracted against the smooth matt laminated surface of the card.
By combining these premium finishes and attention to detail, we crafted business cards that truly represented the professionalism and quality of Floating Rock Studio.
