Accessible, Durable and On Brand: Translation Booklets for Wellington Museum
Wellington Museum came to us with a straightforward print need: a set of A5 booklets featuring te reo Māori translations of their Fortune exhibition content. These would be placed in the exhibition space for visitors to browse or take, so they needed to be durable, cost-effective, and easy to replace.
After exploring a few different production options, we landed on a practical, budget-conscious solution: 50 A5-sized booklets, saddle-stapled, printed in black-only to keep things simple and clean. The 20 internal pages were printed on 100gsm Advance Laser—FSC certified and ultra-smooth for readability—while the 210gsm Trophee Intensive Red covers added a bright, distinctive finish that stood out in the space.
We printed the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which ensured consistent print quality, perfect alignment, and a professional finish across every copy.
The result? A no-fuss, high-quality print job that does exactly what it needs to—clearly present the content, look sharp, and handle regular use in a busy exhibition space.

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.

Beer. Poetry. Branding: Coasters That Carried the Message for 8 Wired
When one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed craft breweries launches a campaign that invites customers to write beer-inspired haiku, the print has to be as clever as the concept. 8 Wired Brewing came to us looking for high-quality, low-cost branded coasters to support their “Brew Haiku” promotion. They needed something sturdy, good-looking, and fast. We delivered.
To keep things sharp and economical, we digitally printed 2,000 customised coasters using a durable 350gsm stock—ideal for absorbing the odd spill while still showing off full-colour artwork. Each coaster was printed double-sided in CMYK, then diecut to a clean 100mm circle to fit the standard beer glass footprint. We also tweaked the supplied artwork to work within the dieline, and sent a full mockup for sign-off before the presses rolled.
Turnaround was tight, but we nailed the timing. The job went from file to final delivery in a matter of days, giving 8 Wired everything they needed to kick off the campaign without a hitch. Print that looks good and gets there on time? That’s what we’re about.
“Wonderful to deal with such a professional team. We had a tight timeline, so Ben and the team made sure we received the product in time. Thanks Team!”
– Monique Eriksen, 8 Wired Brewing

Premium Branding on Every Pour: Rigger Hang Tags for Kainui Brew Co
Kainui Brew Co is a standout Northland brewery with a loyal following and a bold, creative range of small-batch beers. Known for crafting fresh, taproom-filled flavours in Kerikeri’s lush vineyard country, their team needed a smart, premium way to label their takeaway riggers, without sacrificing flexibility or style. Already trusting us for keg collars and tap badges, they came back for hang tags that could handle the chill and still look sharp in hand.
We designed and printed 2,000 custom rigger tags, tailored to their brand. Each tag was printed on 300gsm Top Flight carton board, sturdy enough to handle fridges and cold storage without curling or soaking through. We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress for sharp CMYK print on the front and a clean black-only reverse, perfect for staff to jot down batch details. Once printed, tags were die-cut using our standing brewery die, an efficient choice that keeps the job fast and cost-effective while still delivering a quality result.

Beer Can Artwork That Works on Press: Garage Project
Garage Project is one of New Zealand’s most innovative craft breweries — known for bold beer styles and even bolder can designs. When their illustrators push the limits of creativity, they need a partner who can make sure those designs translate perfectly to production. That’s where we come in. For nearly a decade, we’ve been working with Garage Project to prepare their can artwork for dry offset printing — ensuring every detail prints clean, sharp and exactly as intended.
Turning Illustrations into Print-Ready Files
Dry offset can printing is a fast and unforgiving process. Up to six inks are laid down at once directly onto aluminium — they can’t overlap or even touch, and there’s zero room for error. We take Garage Project’s original designs, redraw them in precise vector format and align them to strict production guides. It’s meticulous work, but it means their most extreme illustrations hit the press perfectly.
Complex Process, Seamless Results
From tight deadlines to unusual layouts, we’ve handled hundreds of can artworks for Garage Project. Our role is to take the risk out of production — so their team can take risks where it matters most: in the creative.
