Built for Volume, Made to Move: Removable Tap Badges for Urbanaut Brewing Co.
We’ve been printing tap badges for Urbanaut Brewing Co. since the beginning, literally. They took a chance on us back in 2017 after a cold email and over 130 orders later, we’re still part of their production flow.
Based in Kingsland, Auckland, Urbanaut is known for pushing boundaries, releasing bold, international-inspired beers and pumping out fresh drops at pace. With over 200 unique beers under their belt (and counting), they needed a tap badge solution that could keep up with their release cycle and venue rotation.
We print their 73mm circular tap badges using removable-grade vinyl, designed to hold strong while the keg is on and peel away cleanly when the next beer rolls in. No sticky mess. No damaged hardware. Just easy changeovers for busy bars.
Our setup pairs Orajet removable vinyl with HP Latex 365 technology, giving us fast curing times, crisp detail and vibrant colour. The combo is ideal for breweries with high-volume needs and short-term installs, where cost, ease of use and clean removal all matter.
There’s no drama, no delays, and no hand-holding needed. After 8 years and 100+ jobs, we’ve become part of how Urbanaut moves beer, from brewery to bar, badge by badge.

Eye-Catching & Easy to Use: Table Talkers for Parrotdog
Parrotdog Wellington’s own legendary craft brewery—came to us with a sharp idea. They needed vibrant, branded table talkers their Sales Reps could hand out to bars and restaurants stocking their beer. Simple. Standout. On-brand. These needed to be easy to distribute, easy to assemble, and hard to miss once set up on a table.
We took the brief and hopped it up.
Each piece was printed in full colour on 350gsm Silk Matt—an ultra-smooth, high-white stock with a professional feel. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to nail perfect colour consistency across the full run, so every talker looked just like the next—vibrant, precise and sharp.
To finish the job, we used the JWEI 6040—a precision digital cutter that handled the complex creases and custom edge work like a pro. It gave us precise creases and cleanly cut bevel flaps. No waste, no mess. Just clean, production-line quality from a machine built for short-run custom work.
Then double-sided tape was applied—ready for flat packing and easy on-site assembly. Simple for the reps, polished and professional for the venues, and built to carry the Parrotdog brand with pride.
The result? A practical, eye-catching display piece that feels as good as their beer tastes.

Bold Finish for an Iconic Kiwi Brand: Premium Business Cards for Buy NZ Made
Buy NZ Made champions New Zealand businesses by licensing the iconic Kiwi trademark, representing over 1200 locally owned and operated brands. When their leadership team changed in 2021, they needed new business cards something sharp, on-brand and built to last. As proud long-time campaign members and trusted print supplier to them, they turned to us to bring that vision to life.
We laid out the graphics and printed a set of 90 x 55mm cards on sturdy 350gsm Silk Matt stock. Then we then added a scuff-resistant matte laminate to protect them from wear. The finishing touch? A bold spot UV varnish applied, glossing the NZ Made icon and subtle typographic lines directly onto cards unrprined background. This created a sharp contrast between the high-gloss elements and the matte background, a crisp white-on-white effect that feels premium and looks even better in hand.
This wasn’t a finish we’d done before, with no samples to share and no guarantees. But the Buy NZ Made team trusted our eye for detail. That calculated risk paid off. The result? Striking business cards that honour an iconic brand, and hold up beautifully out in the real world.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Colourcraft are a fantastic, boutique printer. Responsive, attentive and produce great work!" – Anna Heyward, The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign
