Trusted Under Pressure: A Meaningful Campaign, Printed Fast for The Cancer Society
When VML New Zealand came to us with ‘The Book that Ended Cancer,’ we knew it wasn’t just another print job—it was part of a meaningful campaign. Commissioned by The Cancer Society of New Zealand, the initiative aimed to raise awareness and drive real change around cervical cancer in Aotearoa.
We’d already been working closely with VML to produce a premium, cost-effective short run of perfect-bound, full-colour books. The goal was to create something remarkable for 25 well-known New Zealanders who would receive copies, add their stories, and amplify the message through their networks.
Then came an unexpected opportunity: Hilary Barry wanted to read from the book the very next day on Seven Sharp. The only catch? The books hadn’t been printed yet, we’re in Wellington—and the show films in Auckland.
VML could have worked with a local Auckland printer, but when timing was critical and the quality needed to be spot on, they trusted us. We produced a handful of books in just a few hours—printed, bound, and ready for an urgent courier to the airport. From Wellington to Auckland, in time for the cameras.
We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to ensure sharp, consistent colour and perfect alignment across every page. Covers were printed full colour one side on 350gsm Advance Laser, finished with a scuff-resistant matt laminate for a soft-touch, durable feel. Pages were printed throughout on 120gsm Advance Laser for a smooth, high-quality finish.
A fast turnaround, with no corners cut.

Clear, Trusted Comms: A5 Guidebook Printing for Metlink
When Metlink needed to communicate major updates to Wellington’s public transport network, they came to us with one clear goal: make it simple, clear and fast. This wasn’t just a design job, it was a public-facing document designed to help thousands of commuters navigate timetable and connection changes across buses, trains and ferries. The result? A sleek, accessible A5 guidebook that matched Metlink’s brand and met a tight rollout deadline.
We took care of the full production, starting with layout and design based on supplied content, then printing 1,000 copies using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. That machine’s no-nonsense colour accuracy and consistency was exactly what the job needed. Printed CMYK throughout, the booklet featured a durable 240gsm offset cover and 120gsm offset pages giving it enough weight to feel substantial, but still easy to flick through. Finished with saddle-stitching and trimmed to A5 size, every copy looked crisp, professional and purpose-built.
Fast turnaround, no compromise on quality
We ran electronic proofs and even mocked up a physical proof to make sure everything hit the mark. Turnaround from layout to delivery was just a few days, because when public comms are on the line, deadlines matter.

High-Impact Branding, Fast Turnaround
We use premium carton boards, precision cutting, and high-quality print reproduction to ensure your wraps not only look sharp but fit perfectly.

Expansion Vision in Print: Large-Scale Display Collateral for Arise Church
When Arise Church approached us with their “What Does Your Heart Beat For” campaign, the brief was simple but ambitious — create a striking, large-scale visual display that could inspire their nationwide congregation. Having produced work for Arise for over 15 years, we knew their standard: big ideas with bold presentation. This project needed to communicate vision and growth while being practical enough to set up across multiple campuses.
We produced more than 275 oversized hanging heart displays, some over a metre wide, printed on durable 3mm Paylite sheets. Each heart was precision-cut, drilled for easy hanging and finished in vivid CMYK colour. To maximise efficiency and minimise waste, we nested the artwork onto full-sized 1200 x 2400mm sheets before cutting each heart to shape. The end result was a high-impact installation — bright, bold and built to last.Our production team managed every step—from proofs to nationwide dispatch—so Arise could focus on their message, not the logistics.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “Always feel you are part of our team here at Arise, with all your thoughtfulness to us. You put the extra effort into finding the best solutions for our many requests. Again and again you have gone the extra mile to deliver on time and to an amazing standard.” – Viv Waring, Arise Church
