Brew Union Brewing Co. isn’t just Palmerston North’s only brewpub—it’s a full-on destination. Known for their bold beers, wood-fired eats, and industrial-chic vibe, the team needed a practical, on-brand solution for takeaway beer sales. They came to us for custom growler hang tags that could keep pace with their popular riggers simple, sturdy and unmistakably theirs.

We’ve printed and reprinted these hang tags multiple times since 2020, which says something: they work. The tags are digitally printed onto 283gsm Kraftpak —an uncoated, earthy stock that pairs perfectly with Brew Union’s raw, honest aesthetic. Each tag is die-cut to shape, trimmed to singles, and delivered ready to hang. The result is a premium-feeling label that stands up to handling, looks right at home behind the bar, and still makes a strong impression once it’s out the door.

What makes these tags more than just packaging? They're functional. Staff can handwrite the beer name, ABV, and fill date crucial info for craft drinkers and the branding ties it all back to the taproom experience. It's the kind of detail that elevates a simple takeaway into a branded touchpoint.

Hot Sauce isn’t your average bar, it’s a bold, high-energy eatery inside the QT Wellington, known for its punchy fusion menu and moody, high-design interior. So when the team needed custom mini envelopes that matched their brand’s sharp attention to detail, they came to us. We’ve worked with QT Wellington for nearly 20 years and they trusted us to pull off a tricky brief.

The challenge? These envelopes were tiny, just 97 x 60mm and most printers would have said no. That size is too small to run through standard digital presses. But we don’t walk away from a technical challenge. We printed the artwork in full colour on flat 120gsm stock, then worked with our finishing supplier to die-cut, glue and fold them into envelopes, complete with a tropical seal glue strip on the closing flap. The result? Immaculately finished envelopes, bang on brand, with a functional seal and premium feel.

These little guys were proof that small doesn’t mean simple, but with the right process, it doesn’t have to be hard either. We can create custom envelopes like this at just about any size.

This one came straight from the team at QT Wellington:

“The Colourcraft team are seamless in their work and response time and their craftsmanship is second to none. I cannot recommend their work and this company high enough.” – Gordon Douglas, QT Wellington
