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 Presence, Built to Travel: Pull-Up Banners for ACE New Zealand
ACE New Zealand needed a set of six pull-up banners that looked as credible as the organisation itself. As the peak body representing consulting firms in New Zealand’s built and natural environment sectors, their print needed to reflect the same level of professionalism and clarity they bring to policy, procurement and practice. These banners would be used across a range of industry events and leadership forums so durability, visual impact and ease of use were non-negotiable. They came to us for premium execution, not shortcuts.
We used a scrimless grey-backed PVC banner material, which delivers a clean, smooth surface with zero texture showing through, ideal for professional environments. Paired with our Roland XR-640 eco-solvent printer, we locked in deep colour, crisp edges, and graphics that pop from across the room. The banners were trimmed and installed into silver Prestige hardware a sturdy, sleek banner hardware that comes with and a padded carry bag for easy transport. This combo doesn’t just look good—it lasts.

Polished Presentation, Seamless Process: A4 Booklet for Just Property Management
When Just Property Management needed a premium printed brochure to showcase their services across the Wellington region, they came to us for one reason — trust. Backed by the respected Just Paterson brand, their team already had a reputation for integrity and transparency. Now they needed printed collateral that reflected that same level of professionalism and attention to detail.
Designed by the team at Tizza Design, this 8-page A4 booklet was crafted to speak directly to landlords and property owners. We took care of the print production from start to finish, delivering sharp imagery, smooth finishes and a tactile quality that aligned with their high-standard service promise.
Printed on our Ricoh C9100 for exceptional clarity and consistency, we used a 210gsm Silk Matt stock that feels substantial without being bulky. Full CMYK throughout, saddle-stitched and trimmed to A4 size, this brochure was built to last, but produced fast. From proof to delivery, the whole run of 200 booklets was turned around in short order, without compromising on quality.

Boldly Branded: Havana Coffee Works’ Premium Business Cards
When Havana Coffee Works came to us, they weren’t looking for just another business card—they wanted something that matched their bold, unapologetic brand. As one of Wellington’s most iconic coffee roasters, Havana is known for their attitude, their flavour, and their standout style. They needed cards that embodied that same energy. That’s where we came in.
We printed several thousand custom business cards for Havana using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, known for pinpoint accuracy and flawless colour consistency. To ensure a tactile, high-end finish, we used a sturdy 350gsm stock and applied a scuff-resistant soft-touch matt laminate to both sides—giving the cards a silky feel and long-lasting durability.
The final punch? Spot UV gloss varnish on the Havana logo, front and back. This selective gloss technique creates bold contrast against the matt background, drawing the eye and elevating the brand. The result is a premium card with texture, shine, and staying power—just like Havana’s coffee.
