Bringing Te Reo Māori to Life: Printed Paylite Panels for the Māori Language Commission
At Colourcraft, we were privileged to work with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, the Māori Language Commission to produce a series of A2 and A3 Paylite panels for their office. Using graphics provided by the client, we created 14 high-quality panels in sizes ranging from A3 to A2.
Each panel was printed in full colour on premium Avery Dennison vinyl, ensuring rich, vibrant tones. The prints were mounted on 6mm thick Paylite and finished with a matt lamination, sealing the graphics and enhancing durability. This finishing touch creates a refined, non-reflective surface, ideal for high-traffic areas.
To achieve these vibrant and long-lasting results, we used our Roland XR-640 printer, known for its exceptional print quality. Equipped with eco-solvent ink technology, the XR-640 produces vivid, resilient prints that are water, wear, and UV-resistant – the perfect solution for durable and eye-catching displays like those created for Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.
If your business requires durable, vibrant Paylite panels for office displays, promotional materials, or trade-show signage, we’d be delighted to help bring your vision to life. At Colourcraft, we pride ourselves on delivering premium results tailored to your needs. Contact us today for a quote, and let’s create something together.

Premium Signage Panels for Any Site, Space or Project
If you’re a business leader, property developer, construction company, or event organiser, you know how critical signage is to your brand, safety and visibility. At Colourcraft, based in Wellington and delivering NZ-wide, we offer high-quality signage panels designed to match your use case and budget. Whether it’s short-term site branding or a long-term statement, our signs make you look professional, reach your audience, and get noticed.
Three Panel Types, One Standard of Quality
We produce three distinct panel types, each tailored to a different business need: Corflute for cost-effective outdoor messaging, Paylite for stylish, semi-rigid displays, and ACM for premium, long-lasting signage. All panels are finished with high-quality Avery Dennison vinyl to ensure sharp, durable colour. ACM panels include a protective laminate (matte for a refined look or gloss for extra impact), and are edge-wrapped for a seamless, professional finish. We cut every panel to your exact dimensions, from standard sizes such as 1200 × 600 mm, A1, A0, to fully custom formats and can add eyelets if you need flexible mounting.
No matter the scale, our process lets you order one panel for a small event or ten for a full development site.
Corflute Signage Panels
Lightweight, Low-Cost and Perfect for Short-Term Use
Corflute panels are ideal for campaigns, events, construction sites and any situation where you need eye-catching printed signage that doesn’t need to last for years. They’re affordable, fast to produce, and incredibly versatile — a great option when you need multiple signs printed on a budget.
Reliable Print Quality Without the Price Tag
Despite their low cost, corflute still delivers crisp, vibrant print quality. With durable UV-cured inks and clean finishing, your message remains clear and professional, even when panels are used outdoors for up to a year.
How We Helped Faisandier Group
We produced bold, construction-site corflute signage for the Faisandier Group, helping them lift the visibility and professionalism of their project sites.
Paylite Signage Panels
The Sweet Spot Between Price, Durability and Presentation
Paylite sits neatly between corflute and ACM, sturdier and more professional than corflute, yet more affordable and easier to handle than ACM. These panels look sharp, stay flat, and hold colour beautifully, making them ideal for retail, exhibitions, product displays and general business signage.
Strong, Reusable and Impressively Lightweight
Paylite panels offer a smooth, rigid surface that keeps mounted vinyl looking clean and professional. They stay flat, handle well, and are durable enough for repeated use across events, displays or retail environments — giving you a smart, reliable panel without the weight or cost of ACM.
How We Helped Bring Products and Campaigns to Life
From vibrant office signage for the Māori Language Commission to reusable product displays for Fix & Fogg, and campaign panels for Consumer NZ, our work proves Paylite’s versatility across industries.
ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) Signage Panels
Durable, Rigid and Built for Long-Term Use
ACM is the premium choice for permanent outdoor signage, retail fascia, building signage and any situation where you want a sign that looks great and lasts. The aluminium outer skins and solid core make these panels extremely rigid, ensuring they stay straight and stable in all weather conditions.
High-End Finish with Maximum Longevity
ACM panels provide a sleek, rigid surface that showcases mounted vinyl with rich, consistent colour and edge-to-edge smoothness. The result is a professional, long-lasting panel ideal for high-visibility branding, exterior signage, and architectural applications.
How We Helped Fix & Fogg Elevate Their Exterior Branding
We created durable outdoor ACM signage for Fix & Fogg — designed to withstand New Zealand conditions while delivering a polished, premium look.

Accessible, Durable and On Brand: Translation Booklets for Wellington Museum
Wellington Museum came to us with a straightforward print need: a set of A5 booklets featuring te reo Māori translations of their Fortune exhibition content. These would be placed in the exhibition space for visitors to browse or take, so they needed to be durable, cost-effective, and easy to replace.
After exploring a few different production options, we landed on a practical, budget-conscious solution: 50 A5-sized booklets, saddle-stapled, printed in black-only to keep things simple and clean. The 20 internal pages were printed on 100gsm Advance Laser—FSC certified and ultra-smooth for readability—while the 210gsm Trophee Intensive Red covers added a bright, distinctive finish that stood out in the space.
We printed the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which ensured consistent print quality, perfect alignment, and a professional finish across every copy.
The result? A no-fuss, high-quality print job that does exactly what it needs to—clearly present the content, look sharp, and handle regular use in a busy exhibition space.

Branded to Last: Custom Labels for Springload’s Mountain Gin & Kombucha
When Springload Wellington’s largest independently owned digital agency, needed custom labels for a limited run of house-made gin and kombucha, they came to us. The bottles were part of a thoughtful Christmas gift for their clients and team—something personal, on-brand, and high-quality. The labels had to match that intent: polished, practical, and ready to impress straight out of the fridge.
We ran the job through our Ricoh C9100 to get sharp detail and consistent colour, then printed onto Eurotak Freezer Permanent Solid Back stock, perfect for chilled storage and handling. The strong adhesive meant no lifting at the edges, and the smooth surface gave their design the professional finish it deserved. Each label was trimmed to size and fitted with a 10mm peel tab, slit for easy application, quick, clean and simple to apply.
Even with a small run of 110 labels total, we treated this like any premium project: accurate proofs, fast turnaround and no shortcuts.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: "Our experience at Colourcraft has been amazing from start to finish. Always speedy with email responses and the turnaround was incredibly quick as well!" – Joyce O’Riley, Springload
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.

Custom Playing Cards for Events, Campaigns & Creators — Made in NZ
Whether you're launching a branded game for an event, creating a training tool, or developing your own playable card deck, we help bring your idea to life — one card at a time. Our clients range from government departments and game designers to agencies building experiential campaigns for their clients.
All cards are printed and finished in-house at our Wellington facility and delivered NZ-wide. No minimum order — so whether you need one prototype or a full production run, we’ve got you covered.
Why choose Custom Playing Cards?
Cards are a uniquely interactive medium — tactile, visual, and built for engagement. Ours are printed on 0.36 mm stock (thicker than most commercial decks), laminated with a durable matt finish and precision cut with rounded corners.
Need custom shapes, sizes, or boxes? No problem. We use digital die-cutting — no tooling required — so your game can look exactly how you imagined it. We also produce tuck-in cartons, two-piece boxes and fully custom packaging.
From environmental education to kapa haka celebration to bespoke art — we’ve helped bring all kinds of custom card decks to life. For Wilderlab’s eRangers game, we printed a durable, high-quality deck used in schools to teach students about waterways and environmental monitoring. For the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, we produced 500 sets of custom 36-card decks for Te Matatini — a kapa haka celebration delivered as a tactile, take-home experience. And when Kingsley Attwood, a designer and photographer, created a full 52-card deck with unique illustrations on every face, we helped bring his vision to print with accuracy and premium finishing.
Each project had a different story — but they all needed the same thing: a print partner who could get the details right.
Here’s what one of our clients said:
"Used Colourcraft to print off the cards for a board game I created. They were brilliant — very patient with my lack of printing knowledge and explained all the options clearly. The final product was perfect, really professional and great quality. Very happy with the service. Highly recommend using them." – Josh Scoulding
