Beer Can Artwork That Works on Press: Garage Project
Garage Project is one of New Zealand’s most innovative craft breweries — known for bold beer styles and even bolder can designs. When their illustrators push the limits of creativity, they need a partner who can make sure those designs translate perfectly to production. That’s where we come in. For nearly a decade, we’ve been working with Garage Project to prepare their can artwork for dry offset printing — ensuring every detail prints clean, sharp and exactly as intended.
Turning Illustrations into Print-Ready Files
Dry offset can printing is a fast and unforgiving process. Up to six inks are laid down at once directly onto aluminium — they can’t overlap or even touch, and there’s zero room for error. We take Garage Project’s original designs, redraw them in precise vector format and align them to strict production guides. It’s meticulous work, but it means their most extreme illustrations hit the press perfectly.
Complex Process, Seamless Results
From tight deadlines to unusual layouts, we’ve handled hundreds of can artworks for Garage Project. Our role is to take the risk out of production — so their team can take risks where it matters most: in the creative.

Big-Day Ready: Custom Signs That Set the Scene
When Marilyn came to us, she was deep in the logistics of helping organise her son’s wedding, lending a hand with the kind of thoughtful details that make a big day feel truly special. Her role? Sort out two A1 signage panels: one to welcome guests, the other to lay out the seating plan in style.
Simple in theory—but as anyone who’s ever planned a wedding knows, the devil is in the details.
We worked closely with Marilyn to lock in the specs. We proofed the artwork, made sure everything was dialled in, then moved fast to deliver exactly what she needed—on time and stress-free.
Printed using our Roland XR-640, the panels came to life with rich colour and sharp clarity. We used Avery Dennison’s MPI 2904 vinyl—an ideal choice for vibrant, smooth application—mounted onto 4mm paylite for structure and a premium finish.
Marilyn said it best: “The signs did come out well and really fit in with the rest of the theme. Thank you for all your work to help get them printed.”
Need beautiful, reliable print for a big day? You bring the idea—we’ll handle the rest.
