Flexible, Cost-Saving Labels: For Emporio Coffee
Emporio Coffee has been part of Wellington’s café culture since 2000, roasting premium Arabica beans for cafés and businesses across New Zealand. As a long-standing neighbour and client, they turned to us for a practical labelling solution for their retail coffee pouches — something that looked sharp on-shelf, kept costs under control and could flex as new blends were released.
We created a two-part label system: a clean base label applied to both 250g and 500g pouches, and a smaller secondary label to identify the blend. This kept every pack consistent in appearance, no matter who was packing, and meant Emporio could order base labels in larger volumes—saving on cost while still allowing easy customisation for grind type and blends. The result: professional-looking packaging that balances brand consistency with day-to-day flexibility.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “Emporio Coffee has been working with Colourcraft since 2016 when they became our neighbours in Walter Street. We often require a broad range of labelling and promotional material varying from large to small quantities. Ben and the team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional. Ben is very accommodating and always makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. I would highly recommend Colourcraft.” – Simon Maguire, General Manager - Emporio Coffee

Premium Impact: Blind-debossed Swing Tags for The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign
When the team at The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign needed premium swing tags for their high-end retail partners, they came straight to us. As long-time advocates for NZ manufacturing, they wanted to help boutique fashion brands elevate their product presentation, especially where a printed tag just wouldn’t cut it. The goal? Deliver a physical mark of authenticity that quietly reinforces “Made in Aotearoa” with unmistakable quality.
We proposed a clean, ultra-premium solution: blind debossed swing tags on 600gsm Crane’s Lettra Fluorescent White, an American-made, 100% cotton stock designed for serious impression work. With no ink and no colour, the focus was entirely on texture and craftsmanship. We die-cut each tag to a 35mm custom shape, added a precision drilled 2.5mm hole and blind-de bossed the iconic kiwi logo deep into the surface. The result? Minimal. Intentional. Made to impress.
To finish, we weeded each sheet by hand, packed the 10,000 tags into lots of 100 and delivered ready for distribution across their retail network.
Don’t just take our word for it—here’s what the client shared in a google review:
“Colourcraft are a fantastic, boutique printer. Responsive, attentive and produce great work!” – Anna Heyward, The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign

Reusable and Ready to Go: Free-Standing Display Panels for Fix & Fogg
Fix & Fogg, Fix & Fogg, the Wellington-based legends behind some of the world’s best nut butters, approached us with a clear brief: they needed eye-catching, portable display panels that could hold their own at food shows—and be reused across multiple events. These displays had to be easy to store, tough enough to handle transport, and most importantly, stand up.
We delivered exactly that. Using our Roland XR-640 printer, we produced vibrant, full-colour prints on Avery Dennison MPI 2904 gloss permanent vinyl. That vinyl was then mounted to 3mm Paylite panels—lightweight, durable, and clean-edged—before being precision trimmed and fitted with a fold-out strut on the reverse. The result? A crisp, freestanding panel that flat-packs for storage, stands solid on-site, and turns heads wherever it’s placed.
Over the past six months, we’ve worked closely with the Fix & Fogg team to create more than 10 different variations of these panels—ranging from menus and price lists to promotional messaging and event signage. It’s a simple, low-cost format that punches well above its weight.
Here’s what Shenae from Fix & Fogg had to say:
“The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks Team!”

Dual Branding, One Print Run: Custom Beer Coasters for Sprig + Fern Taverns
When Sprig + Fern needed a practical way to promote both of their Wellington taverns, Tawa and Thorndon, they came to us for a smart print solution. As a proudly independent Kiwi craft beer brand with strong local followings, they wanted coasters that reflected their identity and worked across two locations. Operator Colin Mallon had trusted us before in a previous role, so he knew we’d get the details right.
Designed for Durability and Flexibility
We printed 5,000 custom beer coasters using a 350gsm Advance Laser board—thick enough to handle busy tavern use without curling or bleeding. Each coaster featured the Tawa logo on one side and the Thorndon logo on the other, digitally printed in solid black for sharp, consistent branding. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to ensure precise alignment and crisp detail, even at volume. Final step: clean die-cutting into 100mm circles that feel solid in the hand and sit flat on every table.
Simple Reorders, Always Ready
We’ve stored Sprig + Fern’s artwork and production settings on file, meaning reorders are fast, simple and exactly to spec, just how busy hospitality teams like it.

Bringing Te Reo Māori to Life: Printed Paylite Panels for the Māori Language Commission
At Colourcraft, we were privileged to work with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, the Māori Language Commission to produce a series of A2 and A3 Paylite panels for their office. Using graphics provided by the client, we created 14 high-quality panels in sizes ranging from A3 to A2.
Each panel was printed in full colour on premium Avery Dennison vinyl, ensuring rich, vibrant tones. The prints were mounted on 6mm thick Paylite and finished with a matt lamination, sealing the graphics and enhancing durability. This finishing touch creates a refined, non-reflective surface, ideal for high-traffic areas.
To achieve these vibrant and long-lasting results, we used our Roland XR-640 printer, known for its exceptional print quality. Equipped with eco-solvent ink technology, the XR-640 produces vivid, resilient prints that are water, wear, and UV-resistant – the perfect solution for durable and eye-catching displays like those created for Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.
If your business requires durable, vibrant Paylite panels for office displays, promotional materials, or trade-show signage, we’d be delighted to help bring your vision to life. At Colourcraft, we pride ourselves on delivering premium results tailored to your needs. Contact us today for a quote, and let’s create something together.
