When Jack & Maggie started planning their wedding, they had a clear vision: no generic invites—something bold, timeless, and remarkable. They were referred to us by another print shop that couldn’t produce the order and we were more than happy to step in. What they wanted was deceptively simple: a completely unprinted black card with all design elements done in gold foil. Clean. Minimal. Timeless.

We used 350gsm Notturno a premium deep black Italian board, chosen for its matte texture and rich colour that runs through the sheet. It’s a true luxury stock and pairs beautifully with hot foil. The cards were 148mm square, finished entirely in gold foil with no ink at all. That meant every graphic element, text, layout, accents had to be pressed in foil with complete precision.

Foiling like this isn’t for the faint of heart or budget. The process requires us to machine a custom metal block, dial in precise pressure and heat, and run each card through. It’s not cheap. Setup alone can run close to $500, which is why we only recommend this approach for clients who are absolutely committed to the look and are okay with the per-unit cost that comes with short runs. For those working to a tighter budget, we’ve got beautiful alternatives in our wedding stationery range that deliver high impact without the high spend.

Dreaming of something just as bold for your big day?, or want to find the right balance of wow factor and cost? Let’s talk. We’ll give you honest advice and a tailored quote with no pressure.

The Faisandier Group is a family-run property developer based in Lower Hutt, delivering premium townhouses that set a new benchmark for quality living across the Wellington region. With a reputation for craftsmanship and detail, they came to us for presentation folders that carried the same premium feel as their developments, polished, modern and built to last.

We produced custom printed document folders on heavyweight 320gsm Popset Black stock. To elevate the finish, we applied a blind spot UV gloss varnish over the Faisandier logo and brand icon, creating a striking contrast against the matte background. Each folder was precision diecut to size and supplied flat, complete with business card slits for easy use. The result: a piece of print that feels as considered and enduring as their homes.

Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review—part of the most entertaining one we’ve ever earned:

“The finest printer in all the land!… When other printers get wobbly legs and start dropping out of the race, Colourcraft are gliding majestically out in front, unmercifully crushing their competition with the greatest service a customer could ever hope for.” – Simon, Marketing & Communications Director

That kind of feedback is exactly why we do what we do. If you’re looking for presentation folders or premium print that makes the right impression, we’d love to help. Get a fast, tailored quote with no pressure.

In 2024, the Wellington City Council came to us with a clear brief: produce a high-quality workbook for Te Piere o te Reo, a week-long event celebrating fluent te reo Māori speakers. They needed something that looked polished, felt great to use, and would hold up.

They originally considered embossing for the cover, but we suggested a smarter, more cost-effective option—spot UV gloss over a scuff-resistant matt laminate on 350gsm satin stock. The result was striking, durable, and a big hit with event attendees.

Inside, each 114-page workbook was printed in full colour on 100gsm offset stock, and wiro bound along the left edge for durability and ease of use. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us flawless colour consistency and perfect alignment across the run—every page sharp, every colour on point.

Here’s what the team at Wellington City Council had to say:

“Beautiful product. The team were a pleasure to work with—so professional and produced a high-quality product. What I loved the most was the advice on how to improve the product before printing. The small details mattered—THANK YOU!”

— Keli-Ann Wilson, Wellington City Council
