For over two decades, we’ve handled the prepress work behind Resene Paints product labels and printed cans — and when you’re dealing with one of New Zealand’s most iconic brands, there’s no room for error. With hundreds of products and constant updates across volumes and variants, Resene needs every label to be production-ready, print-perfect and colour-accurate, every single time. That’s where we come in.

190+ Labels and Cans Prepped in the Last Year Alone

Our role is right in the middle — between design and final print — where the quality control happens. We don’t create the artwork, and we don’t run the press. What we do is make sure every file is print-ready: from colour separation and trapping to imposition, bleed setup and press-specific specs. It’s the unglamorous but critical prep that ensures cans come off the line looking sharp, consistent and true to brand, every time.

Why It Works

Prepress is precision work that demands attention to detail and deep technical experience. Over the years, we’ve refined a system that delivers speed and reliability without compromising the high standards Resene is known for. They trust us to get it right, and we don’t take that lightly.

Emporio Coffee has been a cornerstone of Wellington’s café scene since 2000—roasting premium beans, supporting ethical supply chains, and delivering exceptional coffee to over 50 cafes nationwide. When they rebranded in 2016, Emporio needed a local print partner who could keep pace with their day-to-day needs and match the quality of their product. With their HQ just across the street from our Walter Street shop, it didn’t take long for us to connect—and earn their trust.

Working alongside designer Gary Stewart from The Gas Project, we took Emporio’s refreshed brand and brought it to life across a wide range of printed collateral. From barista handbooks and branded order pads to stickers, notebooks and custom decals, we produced high-quality, durable materials that worked in busy hospitality environments. Most jobs were small to mid-sized runs—perfect for our digital print setup—and needed a quick turnaround without cutting corners.

One standout was their barista handbook: a wiro-bound reference tool designed for heavy use in training settings. Clear print, rugged build, on-brand to the last detail.

Ben and the team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional… always makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

Nearly a decade on, Emporio is still a loyal client—and we’re proud to support a fellow Wellington original.
