Reliable, Brand-Ready Tags: Custom Growler Labels for Ground Up Brewing
When you’re an award-winning brewery in Wanaka with 22 taps and a cult following, your brand collateral needs to work just as hard as you do. Ground Up Brewing came to us needing robust, good-looking growler hang tags that could handle the cold and still hold their shape. These tags are more than labels, they help drive takeaway sales, keep things compliant and make the brand look tight across every product leaving the taproom.
We print these on Formakote Natura 300gsm, a food-grade carton board that holds up in chillers and fridges without curling or going soggy. Each run includes three variations, digitally printed in crisp CMYK on the front, with black on the reverse. The tags are die-cut to a proven shape using a standing die we’ve refined over time with breweries across the country. In short: no guesswork, no delay, just tags that work and look sharp.
Thanks to our Konica Minolta AccurioPress and JWEI digital die-cutter, we keep this job fast and consistent — every time. We've run this order five times now, and since their first job in 2021, Ground Up have come back to us over 30 times for everything from keg collars to tap decals.
When quality matters and timing can't slip, they trust us to deliver—and we do.

Elegant and Professional: Miss Fox Aesthetics’ 2025 Treatment Menu
At Colourcraft, we specialise in high-quality printing that enhances the presentation of our clients’ brands. For Miss Fox Aesthetics, a beauty salon in Napier, we produced their 2025 treatment menu with a refined and professional finish.
The design was created by Sara-Jane at Designerbloom, a trusted graphic designer we’ve worked with since 2009. She recommended us for this project, knowing we would deliver a high-quality print that reflects the attention to detail in her design.
Printed in full colour on 170gsm Silk Matt stock, the menus have a smooth, premium feel. They were trimmed to 500 x 125mm and folded down to 125 x 125mm, making them compact and easy to handle.
This project highlights how thoughtful design and quality printing work together to create a polished final product. We’re pleased to have collaborated with Miss Fox Aesthetics and Designerbloom to bring this piece to life.

Printing Custom Labels for Emporio Coffee's Espresso Cleaner
Emporio Coffee has been a respected brand in the New Zealand coffee industry for more than two decades and we’re proud to call them clients (and neighbours).
Knowing only a clean machine can make a great espresso, it was only a matter of time before Emporio launched their own espresso cleaning product onto the market.
They came to us to lend a hand with the graphic design and print. Emporio had a clear vision for what they wanted, which made the layout of the graphics an easy task. After prototyping and refining the design, we printed a batch of matt permanent self-adhesive labels which featured a convenient peel tab for easy application.

250 x 78mm + 10mm peel tab

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.
