At Colourcraft, we had the pleasure of working with Tessa and Alan to bring their wedding invitations to life. The couple provided us with their design, and we printed these A5-sized invites in full colour on 320gsm Rives Tradition Natural stock. This choice of stock added an elegant touch, thanks to its off-white colour and felt-marked textured finish.

The result is a stunning wedding invitation that beautifully reflects Tessa and Alan's unique style, setting the perfect stage for their special day. With our unwavering commitment to quality and attention to detail, Colourcraft ensures that every invitation leaves a lasting impression.

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.

ComplyWith is a Wellington-based legal compliance platform helping organisations across New Zealand get their compliance right, without the guesswork. For their “Building Blocks of Good Compliance” initiative, they needed a premium, tactile training tool: 300 sets of custom double-sided playing cards, neatly packaged in branded cartons.

Each set included 28 custom-sized cards (76mm x 110mm, rounded corners), printed in full colour both sides. The goal was to turn complex compliance ideas into something accessible, hands-on and memorable, using the power of a well-designed physical tool to reinforce learning. The impact was clear: just two months after the initial run, ComplyWith returned for a second order of another 300 units.

The project involved tight deadlines, late-stage design changes and multiple decision-makers, so speed, precision and proactive support were non-negotiable. We produced structural carton prototypes early, advised on format options (wallet vs tuck-in vs two-piece), and supported Salted Herring’s design team with precise, production-ready dielines.

The final packs were printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, delivering flawless colour consistency across all sets. Cards were printed on 300gsm Pro-Digital Silk stock and matte laminated both sides for durability and smooth handling. The cartons were printed on 260gsm Tiger FBB board, matte laminated one side for protection and a refined, soft-touch feel. Internal messaging beneath the flap completed the unboxing experience.
