Premium Business Cards with Lasting Impact: Heart & Sap
Christchurch-based furniture studio Heart & Sap came to us for business cards that would reflect the same craftsmanship and attention to detail they put into their bespoke timber furniture. As a brand built on quality and sustainability, they needed cards that wouldn’t just hand over details, they needed to make a statement, aligning with the calibre of their work.
We printed 1000 cards on a heavy 350gsm silk matt stock, strong in the hand, smooth to the touch. Both sides were finished with a matt laminate for extra durability and resistance to scuffs, ensuring the cards stay sharp long after being handed out. To elevate the design further, we applied a blind spot UV varnish on the logo, giving it a striking contrast against the soft matt background and catching the light just right.
The result was a premium, tactile business card that reinforces Heart & Sap’s identity as a studio dedicated to fine detail, quality and lasting first impressions — just like their furniture.
If you want print that communicates the same level of quality your business delivers, we’d love to help. Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.

Built to Last: High-Quality Workbooks for Wellington City Council’s Te Piere o te Reo (2024 Edition)
In 2024, the Wellington City Council came to us with a clear brief: produce a high-quality workbook for Te Piere o te Reo, a week-long event celebrating fluent te reo Māori speakers. They needed something that looked polished, felt great to use, and would hold up.
They originally considered embossing for the cover, but we suggested a smarter, more cost-effective option—spot UV gloss over a scuff-resistant matt laminate on 350gsm satin stock. The result was striking, durable, and a big hit with event attendees.
Inside, each 114-page workbook was printed in full colour on 100gsm offset stock, and wiro bound along the left edge for durability and ease of use. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us flawless colour consistency and perfect alignment across the run—every page sharp, every colour on point.
Here’s what the team at Wellington City Council had to say:
“Beautiful product. The team were a pleasure to work with—so professional and produced a high-quality product. What I loved the most was the advice on how to improve the product before printing. The small details mattered—THANK YOU!”
— Keli-Ann Wilson, Wellington City Council
One year later, we’ve just wrapped the 2025 edition—and we’re proud to still be trusted to deliver.

Precision from the First Card: Custom Playing Cards for Karangahape Returns
Motion Sickness, one of New Zealand's most awarded independent creative companies and the current AXIS Agency of the Year, came to us with a brief that was equal parts exciting and demanding. Their client, the Karangahape Road Business Association, needed a custom playing card deck to mark the return of K' Road's cultural calendar: 54 fully branded cards and a matching tuck-in carton. The pressure point? A prototype deck was needed within days for a product shoot, with the full run of 150 sets to follow almost immediately after.
Before a single sheet hit the press, our pre-press review caught several issues in the supplied artwork, margins as tight as 0.8mm on both cards and carton (well inside safe tolerances for lamination and die-cutting), a card duplicated across two suit values, and nine further cards with incorrect suit assignments. We flagged the margin issue upfront and recommended a 3–4mm clear zone, corrected one artwork error in-house and communicated the remaining nine with visual references for the client to resolve. It's the kind of careful review that prevents costly reprints and we consider it part of every job.
The cards were printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, a machine built for colour-critical runs that demand consistency, CMYK both sides onto 300gsm satin stock, with matt scuff-resistant laminate applied to both sides before die-cutting to the finished 63×88mm size. The cartons were printed on Tiger FBB 260gsm cartonboard, matt laminated one side, then die-cut and glued on our JWEI 6040 digital cutter, no tooling required, precise results, fast setup.

Print With Purpose: Sales Leave-Behind Booklets for Havana Coffee Works
When Havana Coffee Works needed a sharp, story-driven sales tool, we delivered print that pulls its weight. Their team wanted something they could leave behind after sales meetings with prospective café clients—a way to showcase what makes Havana different. Bold flavours. Ethical sourcing. A roasting process that’s equal parts science and soul. This wasn’t just a booklet—it was a conversation extender.
We produced an A4, 8-page saddle-stitched booklet, printed in full colour on 150gsm offset stock. Every booklet ran through our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 with real-time quality control tech to ensure colour consistency, razor-sharp detail, and a clean, polished finish—page after page.
The result? A premium, purposeful print piece that brings the Havana brand to life long after the meeting ends.

Made to Last: Durable Directional Signage for Fix & Fogg’s Wellington Site
When Fix & Fogg makers of some of the best nut butter on the planet—needed clear, functional signage for their Wellington production site, they came to us. The brief? Durable, easy-to-read signs that could withstand the elements while guiding delivery drivers, customers and visitors around their busy factory space.
We printed two outdoor panels showing delivery/pickup locations and warehouse opening hours. These weren’t about flashy branding—they were about clear communication, hard-wearing materials, and signage that stays legible and professional, no matter the weather.
We printed on our Roland XR-640, using eco-solvent inks known for their resistance to fading, scratches, and moisture. For the vinyl, we went with Avery Dennison MPI 2904, paired with DOL 2100 matt laminate to lock in colour and protect from UV and abrasion. The graphics were then mounted to 4mm ACM panels and fully edge-wrapped—meaning the graphics continue around the sides for a cleaner, more polished appearance.
Here’s the kicker: these photos were taken five months after install. The signs still look as good as the day they left our shop—a solid reminder that quality materials and solid print work matter.
Testimonial from Shenae at Fix & Fogg:
"The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks Team!"
