Innovative Promotional Packaging: Droppah's Sucky Straws Carton
Droppah, the Wellington creators of easy online rostering software, wanted to showcase their brand and came to us to help get the word out.
Droppah's marketing team designed a carton in their distinctive branding, featuring the catchy slogan "Sucky Straws - Not Sucky Rosters".
Our team developed a custom carton structure to hold the Sucky Straws product and cut a prototype carton to test the form and function of the carton structure. Then printed 300 units on a premium 260gsm Cresendo single sided carton board before die cutting to shape.
The result unique and effective promotional tool that perfectly captured Droppah's brand and message.

Elegance, Foiled: Premium Award Certificates for Tommy’s Real Estate
In 2023, Tommy’s Real Estate Wellington’s most awarded agency—came to us with a request that matched their standard of excellence. They needed high-end certificates to celebrate their consistent wins at the REINZ awards. These weren’t just any awards—they were proof of performance, reputation, and ongoing dominance in a competitive market. And they deserved to be printed like it.
We chose Knight Linen stock for its rich, embossed texture and premium feel—perfect for an agency that prides itself on presentation. At 350gsm, it offered both substance and elegance. To highlight each level of achievement, we used gold foil for ‘Winner’ and silver foil for ‘Finalist’—a subtle but powerful visual distinction.
Here’s where it got clever: We pre-foiled a batch of certificates in advance, anticipating Tommy’s ongoing success. So when 2024 rolled around and they secured three more awards, we were able to overprint the details instantly—same stock, same quality, zero delay. That meant no extra foil setup fees, no inconsistencies, and no waiting around.
Printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 with IQ-501, the colour consistency was flawless. Every certificate looked sharp, clean, and 100% aligned—because excellence doesn’t tolerate second-rate.

Smart, Scalable Print: Custom Keg Collars for Hallertau Brewery
Nestled in Riverhead, just outside Auckland, Hallertau Brewery is a pioneer of New Zealand’s modern craft beer scene — and one of our longest-standing keg collar clients. With an ever-evolving lineup of beers and a commitment to freshness, they needed a way to brand kegs clearly and consistently across dozens of SKUs, without slowing down production or adding friction for their team.
We’ve produced tens of thousands of flat keg collars for Hallertau since 2017, using a standardised setup we’ve refined to serve over 30 breweries across New Zealand. Every collar is printed on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board, diecut to a precise 93 × 186mm, and supplied flat for efficient storage and quick application. Colours stay sharp, even after time in the chiller — and we keep their artwork, samples, and print settings on file for fast, repeatable reprints with no colour surprises.
Static details: beer name, style, ABV, branding, are pre-printed, with space left for batch codes and dates to be added on site. It’s a practical, repeatable system that keeps quality high and turnaround times low.
We offer two keg collar formats: the flat style used by Hallertau (simple, cost-effective, reliable), and a folding version — like the one we produce for Ground Up Brewing — that locks the tap badge in place for extra hold during transport. Both are built on the same print specs, using shared dies and structures developed in-house, meaning consistent results, sharp pricing, and faster turnarounds no matter your format.

Exquisite Compliments: Printing Underlena's Striking Compliment Slips
At Colourcraft, we understand that businesses need to leave a lasting impression on their clientele. So when Maxine from Underlena, the renowned Wellington-based lingerie brand, entrusted us with the task of producing compliment slips that reflected their brand's quality, we had the opportunity to produce something remarkable.
We printed the supplied design on a matt 350gsm offset stock in colour on both sides, Then to add emphasis to the Underlena logo we applied a UV gloss varnish. This technique draws attention and creates a delightful contrast between the gloss logo and the matt card background.
At Colourcraft, we take great pride in delivering projects that reflect the commitment and quality our clients' pour into their own brands, and we hope that the work we produce leaves a lasting impression.
