Creating a Custom Carton for Wicked Wanda's Hot BBQ Sauce Trio
In the final days of 2022, Laurel Hill Foods approached us to produce 300 gift pack cartons for their delicious Wicked Wanda hot BBQ sauce range from Hawkes Bay.
We took on the challenge and developed a carton structure that not only showcases the product but also included a locking lid and integrated handle. The windows cut into the carton allow the branding and labelling of the product to always be on display.
To ensure the quality of the final product, we first created a blank mockup to test the form and function of the carton. We then positioned the supplied Wicked Wanda branding onto the carton’s dieline structure and printed the cartons onto a durable 350gsm Satin board. Then die-cut and glued the carton.

PartsTrader ‘Parts Request’ Pads: Streamlining Automotive Ordering for Mechanics
PartsTrader is a leading digital marketplace connecting automotive repairers, parts suppliers, and insurers across New Zealand and the United States. They wanted a practical tool to help mechanics quickly identify the parts they needed while encouraging them to use the PartsTrader platform for orders.
We designed and printed a custom A5 pad, digitally produced on 100gsm Advanced Laser stock in CMYK on one side. Each pad included 21 pages with a sturdy backing card, glued at the top edge and trimmed to A5, with a drilled hole for convenient handling. Digital printing allowed us to personalise the last page of each pad, rewarding users who placed 20 part orders and including messages throughout the pad showing progress toward the reward—turning a simple pad into a motivating, interactive tool for mechanics.
The pads were finished to be robust and practical for workshop use, while still reflecting PartsTrader’s professional brand. Each page printed clearly and vibrantly, ensuring legibility even in busy, hands-on environments. The combination of digital precision and careful finishing meant the pads were ready for immediate use, delivered directly to PartsTrader via courier.

Precision Branding: Custom Kiss Cut Stickers for Snapper Services
When the team at Snapper Services, leaders in transit tech and data solutions—reached out to us, they needed high-quality custom stickers ahead of a European business trip. The goal? Put their branding directly into the hands of key decision-makers at trade shows and events. It had to be premium, precise, and fast.
We delivered just that.
We printed onto a high-gloss self-adhesive vinyl that delivers excellent colour, clarity, and durability. Using a digital kiss-cutting process, we created precise, custom-shaped stickers—without the cost or delay of traditional die-cutting. Each sticker was trimmed to singles, ready to hand out and make an impact.
These are the kind of stickers that don’t feel like an afterthought. They feel like a branded asset. Whether they’re slipped into a promo pack or handed out at a stand, they make your brand tangible and memorable.

Built to Travel: Folding Keg Collars for Heyday Beer Co
When Heyday Beer Co needed a smart way to transport their tap badges securely from brewery to bar, we delivered a solution that’s since become an industry staple. Their Cuba Street brewery is known for fresh, small-batch beer and bold branding, so they needed packaging that wasn’t just practical but consistent across repeat orders. Our folding keg collar design ticked every box—strong, dependable and proven to survive cold storage and delivery.
Smart structure, proven reliability
Printed digitally on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board, each keg collar is diecut flat for easy storage and then folded around the tap badge when it’s time to ship. The clever locking design means no staples, no loose badges and no wasted time. This is a proven solution we’ve produced and reprinted for Heyday more than ten times since 2018. That consistency shows the design works and the product does exactly what it’s meant to: protect tap badges in transit.
One idea, many options
The folding keg collar style used by Heyday is just one option we’ve developed in-house. For breweries that don’t need the lock-in structure, we also produce a flat keg collar style—more cost-effective, but with the same durable stock and precision diecutting. Both styles scale easily, giving breweries of any size print that’s fit for purpose, looks sharp and holds up in the real world.

Custom Corporate Card Decks: Designed to Tell Stories, Built to Be Kept
Designed to communicate your brand, tell a story, or walk clients through a message, one card at a time. Whether you’re launching a campaign, onboarding a team, or building a better client experience, custom card decks turn your message into something people actually engage with and hang onto.
Ideal for B2B settings from internal training and brand storytelling to sales tools and premium leave-behinds. They’re more than print; they deliver your message in a format that’s more engaging than a booklet and way harder to throw away.
We print right here in Wellington, with fast delivery NZ-wide. From one-off prototypes to full production runs, we move quickly and print with care.
Why choose Custom Corporate Card Decks?
Cards are tactile, interactive, and built for storytelling. Every card is an opportunity to reinforce your message and unlike flyers or brochures, they invite people to pause and explore. Our decks are printed on premium 0.36 mm stock (thicker than standard cards), laminated with a scuff-resistant matt finish and precision cut with round corners for a polished, professional feel.
We handle everything from short runs to nationwide campaigns, using digital print and die-free cutting so you’re never limited by size or shape. Need packaging? Choose from tuck-in cartons, two-piece cartons, or fully custom solutions, all designed to match the impact of what’s inside.
We’ve helped organisations across New Zealand turn complex ideas into memorable print experiences. For ComplyWith, we produced 300 custom card packs for their ‘Building Blocks of Good Compliance’ initiative, a hands-on tool designed to make their message clear and practical. For Datacom, we delivered branded decks for a high-impact internal event. And for the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, we printed 500 custom card decks for Te Matatini, designed to celebrate and share cultural knowledge in a format that’s interactive and memorable.
Here’s what one of our repeat clients had to say:
“The Colourcraft team always go above and beyond to deliver the cards we create for our team and clients. Every print is high-quality, and it's a joy seeing our designs and brand come to life with such a quick turnaround.” – Ella Price (Springload)
