Empowering Community: Passion AKL's Social Housing Support Event
At Colourcraft, we find fulfilment in projects that extend beyond business, and Passion AKL's community event was a testament to the positive impact print materials can have. Organised by the dedicated team at Passion AKL, a church committed to connecting people with their community and faith, the one-day event aimed to support residents in an Auckland social housing community.
We were asked to print materials for the event, using designs crafted by Joyce from Wonder Studio, a studio recognised for empowering brands that, in turn, empower people.
Joyce's thoughtful design, coupled with our commitment to quality, resulted in materials that resonated with Passion AKL's mission. We take pride in contributing to initiatives that bring communities together and were grateful for the opportunity to support Passion AKL in their admirable endeavours.

High-Impact Visibility: Custom Backlit Tap Badges for Deep Creek Brewing Co
For over six years, we partnered with Deep Creek Brewing Company, a standout in New Zealand’s craft beer scene known for bold, hop-forward brews and adventurous branding. As their beer range expanded, IPAs, sours, hazies, seasonals, we became their go-to print partner for custom tap badges, producing over 10,000 units across 76 orders. These badges weren’t just decorative, they were a critical part of Deep Creek’s bar presence, grabbing attention and driving customer choice at the point of pour.
Lighting Up the Brand—Literally
We printed each badge on translucent vinyl, the gold standard for backlit graphics. This material allows light to pass through evenly, making colours pop without glare or washout. Combined with Roland eco-solvent inks, the result was sharp, durable artwork that held its vibrancy under the heat and humidity of bar conditions. Finished with kiss-cut precision and supplied on easy-peel sheets, the badges were ready for rapid application, ideal for seasonal rollouts or rotating taps.
Consistency at Scale
With 92 individual beer SKUs in the system, brand consistency mattered. We stored all artwork on file, meaning every reorder was fast, accurate, and 100% on brand no matter how wild the beer names got. That reliability saved Deep Creek time and headaches, especially when managing exports and multiple bar locations.

Elevated Elegance: Wedding Print Collateral for Angus & Hannah
When Angus & Hannah first came to us, they wanted their wedding invitations to set the tone for their big day—elegant, refined, and high-quality. Four months later, as their wedding approached, they came back to us with a new request: to create a complete suite of wedding day print collateral that matched the premium standard we’d already established.
With a tight deadline and the pressure of wedding week logistics, Angus needed everything delivered ahead of schedule for setup. We split the project into two jobs to keep it efficient and cost-effective.
First up: their wedding seating chart panels. We printed an A2 panel using our Roland XR-640, selected for its bold colour output and unrelieved durability. Printed on Avery Dennison MPI 2904 gloss white vinyl—perfect for vivid, high-impact signage—and mounted on 3mm Paylite for rigidity and easy display.
The second part was the finer collateral: menus, name cards, drink menus, and orders of service. We used our Konica Minolta C4070 to ensure flawless colour consistency across the set. These were printed on 217gsm Teton Warm White stock, known for its refined texture and luxurious feel. Precise drilling and folding completed the set, with hole placement triple-checked to avoid mishaps.
Every piece was ready early and collected without a hitch—freeing the couple to focus on what really mattered.

Spot UV Business Cards That Shine Where It Matters
Make a First Impression That Reflects Your Brand
First impressions count. Our Spot UV Varnished Business Cards are designed for businesses that want their quality to be seen and felt from the very first handshake. Perfect for professionals, brand-led retailers and creatives who understand the value of presentation, these cards combine understated matte with a glossy, light-catching varnish that draws attention to your logo or design. Produced here in Wellington and delivered NZ-wide, they’re the ideal choice when you want to show that every detail of your brand matters.
Premium Print Quality, Designed to Last
Each card is printed on premium 350 gsm board, double-sided laminated with a scuff-resistant matte film that gives the heft and feel of a 400 gsm stock. The Spot UV varnish is then applied selectively to create a reflective gloss contrast — subtle, professional and unforgettable.
Trusted by Leading New Zealand Brands
We’ve helped well-known New Zealand brands achieve that perfect first impression. For Havana Coffee Works, the finish echoed their handcrafted quality and attention to detail. For Buy NZ Made, the gloss highlight reinforced a strong national brand identity. And for startups like SecureAZ, it created a confident, polished look that conveys precision and trust.
Printed digitally in-house, every run delivers consistent colour and crisp detail. The Spot UV effect works best applied blind — not directly over printed graphics — allowing the varnish to reveal itself through movement and light. It’s an investment in presentation that costs less than foiling or embossing, yet delivers comparable impact.
