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.

Crafting Quality: Salt District Brewing's Growler Hang Tags
When Salt District Brewing, a small brewery located in Whangamatā approached us, their aim was to improve the quality of their printed materials in time for the upcoming summer season. With new brewing equipment on the way, they were preparing to expand their presence throughout the Coromandel.
Salt District Brewing proudly offers a range of handcrafted, on-site brewed beers to customers in reusable glass growlers. They entrusted us with the task of producing a run of growler hang tags. These hang tags were printed in full colour on robust 283gsm Kraft Board, ensuring both durability and visual appeal. Then we precisely die-cut them into the hang tag shape.
At Colourcraft, we take great pride in assisting businesses like Salt District Brewing in leaving a lasting impression on their customers. When quality matters, choose Colourcraft.

Commemorating the Pacific Business Trust's Journey through Print: A Meaningful Report for PwC Wellington
A new client, PwC Wellington, asked for our help in bringing a beautifully designed report to life for their client, the Pacific Business Trust. The purpose of this report was to commemorate the remarkable journey of the Pacific Business Trust since its establishment in 1985, paying homage to the past, embracing the present, and envisioning the future.
The report comprised 66 pages and was perfect bound. In our commitment to sustainability and maintaining print quality, we used Eco-100, a fully recycled Chlorine Free paper. To enhance both the visual appeal and durability, we applied a matte lamination to the cover, resulting in a scuff-resistant, soft-touch finish. Additionally, we applied a spot gloss UV varnish to specific elements of the cover's graphics, creating a glossy effect that added depth and contrast to the overall design.
We take pride in the trust placed in us by PwC Wellington and we are proud to have played a role in bringing this significant report to life. It is our commitment to quality that drives us to deliver exceptional print solutions that reflect the impact and importance of our clients' work.

Built to Travel: Custom Tap Badges & Keg Collars for Ground Up Brewing
Ground Up Brewing is a fiercely independent craft brewery based in Wānaka, founded by engineers who swapped schematics for hops, but kept their obsession with precision. Back in 2018, we reached out to introduce Colourcraft and they’ve trusted us with their tap badges and keg collars ever since. Like their beers, their branding is bold, technical, and always evolving—so they needed print that could keep up, both on-bar and in transit.
Smart structure, standout print
Each tap badge is printed on removable vinyl and kiss-cut to a clean 73mm circle. The keg collar? That’s where things get clever. Years ago we designed a folding structure that holds the tap badge securely to a beer keg during transport, no staples, no loose badges, no extra packing. Printed on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board and diecut flat for easy storage, the collar locks onto a keg and presents the badge front and centre.
One idea, many beers
What began as a one-off solution is now a production staple, used by 30+ breweries across New Zealand. We now offer two keg collar styles: the folding version used by Ground Up, which locks the tap badge in place during transport, or a simpler flat collar that’s more cost-effective if you don’t need that extra hold. Both are fully customisable, printed on the same durable board, and cut with precision dies we’ve developed in-house. That consistency means sharper pricing, faster turnarounds and fewer headaches, no matter how wild your graphics get.
