Built for the Spotlight: Oversized Presentation Cheque for Stuff Digital
Stuff Digital approached us to produce a large-format oversized cheque for a public award presentation as part of the Stuff Art Aotearoa Gold Award. The brief was simple: create a professional, visually clear cheque suitable for stage use and photography, delivered in time for a fixed presentation date.
The supplied artwork needed some technical adjustment to work at scale, so we reviewed the files early and flagged resolution limitations before production. We guided the client on appropriate sizing and proportions, ensuring the artwork was scaled correctly without distortion and prepared a clean PDF proof for approval. With clear communication and quick sign-off, the project moved smoothly into production.
The cheque was printed at 1200 × 540mm using our HP Latex 365, which produces sharp, consistent results with water-based, odour-free inks—ideal for indoor event use. It was printed one-sided in CMYK onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 white gloss permanent vinyl, mounted to a 4mm paylite panel, and trimmed neatly to size. The finished piece was collected on schedule and used as intended for the presentation.
This was a straightforward project delivered efficiently, with a focus on accuracy, timing, and a clean final result.

Branded With Purpose: Growler Tags for Brew Union Brewing Co.
Brew Union Brewing Co. isn’t just Palmerston North’s only brewpub—it’s a full-on destination. Known for their bold beers, wood-fired eats, and industrial-chic vibe, the team needed a practical, on-brand solution for takeaway beer sales. They came to us for custom growler hang tags that could keep pace with their popular riggers simple, sturdy and unmistakably theirs.
We’ve printed and reprinted these hang tags multiple times since 2020, which says something: they work. The tags are digitally printed onto 283gsm Kraftpak —an uncoated, earthy stock that pairs perfectly with Brew Union’s raw, honest aesthetic. Each tag is die-cut to shape, trimmed to singles, and delivered ready to hang. The result is a premium-feeling label that stands up to handling, looks right at home behind the bar, and still makes a strong impression once it’s out the door.
What makes these tags more than just packaging? They're functional. Staff can handwrite the beer name, ABV, and fill date crucial info for craft drinkers and the branding ties it all back to the taproom experience. It's the kind of detail that elevates a simple takeaway into a branded touchpoint.

Bold and Durable: Havana Coffee Works Celebrates 35 Years with Custom Posters
At Colourcraft, we take pride in creating premium printed products that capture the essence of our client’s vision. When Wellington coffee legends Havana Coffee Works celebrated their remarkable milestone of 35 years, they entrusted us to produce a collection of custom posters to celebrate the event.
Known for their unapologetically bold coffee and vibrant branding, Havana designed a custom ‘Cheers to 35 Years’ artwork to mark this special occasion. Our task was to bring their vision to life, producing 50 posters in a range of sizes: A3, A2, A1, and A0.
We used durable, eco-solvent inks printed onto scratch and tear-resistant synthetic stock to ensure these posters could withstand high-traffic café environments. This choice of materials resulted in vivid, lightfast posters that are as resilient as they are striking.
The printing was carried out on our Roland XR-640, a machine renowned for its eco-solvent ink technology. This equipment ensures high-impact visuals while providing exceptional resistance to wear, water, and UV exposure. The result? Posters that retain their vibrancy and quality, even in the most demanding conditions.
We are proud to have played a part in celebrating 35 years of Havana Coffee Works—a brand synonymous with bold Wellington coffee culture. These posters are a very small testament to the spirit of Havana: vibrant, enduring, and unapologetically bold.

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
