Consistent, Cost-Effective Visuals: CGI Beer Bottle Renders for Parrotdog
Parrotdog is a Wellington-born craft brewery that’s made a name for itself with award-winning, approachable beers. When they prepared to launch their limited-release 'Rare Bird' series, they faced a challenge: how to showcase each new beer with high-quality visuals, without commissioning a full photoshoot every time a release went to market. That’s when they came to us.
Instead of heading down the expensive and time-consuming path of multiple studio shoots, we created photorealistic CGI renders of their bottles. By building a digital model of the glass and applying the exact label artwork, we gave Parrotdog an image that looked every bit as polished as traditional photography — while delivering total consistency from one release to the next.
The real value wasn’t just in the imagery itself. This approach gave their team faster turnaround times, flexible options for future design changes and cost savings that would’ve been impossible with repeat photoshoots. Most importantly, it let their marketing stay on schedule, no matter how often the beers rotated.
Projects like this highlight what we do best: solve problems with the right tools, whether that’s premium print or, in this case, a clever creative workaround. Our focus today is on world-class print, but the principle remains the same — every job deserves a solution that’s fit for purpose.

Built to Engage: Custom Playing Card Game for The Salvation Army
When The Salvation Army’s Next Gen team approached us, they were developing Tino Taonga - a kaupapa-led, nationwide initiative recognising tamariki and rangatahi as their greatest treasure. As part of that programme, they needed a physical engagement tool: a custom educational card game that felt professional, durable and meaningful enough to be used repeatedly across youth programmes throughout Aotearoa and the Pacific.
The brief evolved as the project progressed. Artwork and packaging files arrived in stages, quantities shifted late in the process and material decisions needed to balance budget with longevity. Our role was to guide the client and their design partner,Genre, through those decisions while keeping everything moving smoothly once approvals landed.
We printed 300 complete custom card deck sets, each consisting of 54 full-colour, double-sided playing cards plus an instruction card, housed in a custom tuck-in carton. The cards were digitally printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its pinpoint colour accuracy and consistency across the entire run. Cards were produced on 300gsm Pro Digital Silk, finished with a durable, scuff-resistant matt laminate on both sides before precision die-cutting.
For the cartons, we used Tiger FBB 260gsm carton board with a matt laminate applied to the outer face, delivering a premium finish while maintaining structural strength. Each carton was die-cut, weeded, glued and hand-packed with the cards before couriering nationwide.
The final result was a high-quality, personalised playing card set that matched the depth and care behind the wider Tino Taonga initiative, and the confidence in the finished product led the client to increase quantities just before print.

Elevating Impressions: RescueMetrics' Distinctive Triple-Mounted Business Cards
At Colourcraft, our commitment to delivering premium service and exceptional quality shines through in every project we take on.
Tim from RescueMetrics, a Wellington-based leader in precise campaign tracking, had an upcoming business trip to Japan and wanted to make a lasting impression. We embraced the challenge of crafting business cards that would captivate and endure.
We created a set of triple-mounted cards, a unique approach that adds depth and sophistication to the traditional business card.
The cards were constructed with three layers of cardstock. The outer layers, made from 256gsm white stock, encased a core layer of colorplan stock, selected to match RescueMetrics' signature purple brand colour.
To ensure these cards would stand the test of time while offering a tactile experience, we applied scuff-resistant matt lamination to both sides. This not only provides a soft-touch finish but also improves durability over time.
RescueMetrics' logo was further enhanced with a UV gloss varnish, applied to create a captivating contrast with the matt laminated background.
The result? A set of business cards that not only commands attention but also embody RescueMetrics' professionalism and commitment to excellence.
At Colourcraft, our devotion to premium quality and craftsmanship remains unwavering. As a Wellington-based printing and graphics leader since 1985, we hold true to our commitment to quality and client satisfaction – a promise backed by more than 60 five-star Google reviews.
