Crafted with Precision: Floating Rock's Premium Business Cards
At Colourcraft, we take pride in delivering premium service and exceptional quality in every project we undertake. One of our recent endeavours was working with Floating Rock, a boutique animation studio based in Wellington, Aotearoa, known for its high-quality animated cinematic experiences and slick visual effects.
For their business cards, we were supplied with a design that reflects the studio's creativity and professionalism and were asked to print a set of business cards that would leave a lasting impression.
Once the cards were printed to enhance durability, we applied a scuff-resistant matt lamination on both sides of the cards, providing a soft touch finish and ensuring they would stand up well over time. On one side, we incorporated the Floating Rock logo using a blind spot UV gloss varnish. This technique created a glossy effect that contracts with the matt laminated background.
On the reverse side of the business cards, we applied a hot stamp foiling with blue metallic foil to embellish the founder's name and the floating rock icon. The reflective metallic blue brought a touch of class, adding depth to the design and which contracted against the smooth matt laminated surface of the card.
By combining these premium finishes and attention to detail, we crafted business cards that truly represented the professionalism and quality of Floating Rock Studio.

Bold Finish for an Iconic Kiwi Brand: Premium Business Cards for Buy NZ Made
Buy NZ Made champions New Zealand businesses by licensing the iconic Kiwi trademark, representing over 1200 locally owned and operated brands. When their leadership team changed in 2021, they needed new business cards something sharp, on-brand and built to last. As proud long-time campaign members and trusted print supplier to them, they turned to us to bring that vision to life.
We laid out the graphics and printed a set of 90 x 55mm cards on sturdy 350gsm Silk Matt stock. Then we then added a scuff-resistant matte laminate to protect them from wear. The finishing touch? A bold spot UV varnish applied, glossing the NZ Made icon and subtle typographic lines directly onto cards unrprined background. This created a sharp contrast between the high-gloss elements and the matte background, a crisp white-on-white effect that feels premium and looks even better in hand.
This wasn’t a finish we’d done before, with no samples to share and no guarantees. But the Buy NZ Made team trusted our eye for detail. That calculated risk paid off. The result? Striking business cards that honour an iconic brand, and hold up beautifully out in the real world.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Colourcraft are a fantastic, boutique printer. Responsive, attentive and produce great work!" – Anna Heyward, The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign

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.

Premium Client Gift: Custom Playing Cards and Branded Packaging for Springload
Wellington-based digital agency Springload came to us with a bold idea: create a high-end custom gift that would showcase their creativity and leave a lasting impression on clients and partners. The solution? A full, bespoke deck of playing cards — every face uniquely designed, fully branded and packaged in an understated but premium black-on-black carton. The goal was to match the sophistication of their design work with a physical product that delivered the same attention to detail.
Built for quality, finished for impact
We printed 200 decks on a thick 300gsm silk matt stock, laminated both sides for a soft-touch finish and built-in scuff resistance — ideal for a product designed to be handled. Then each card was die-cut to a rounded-corner rectangle. For the packaging, we designed a custom two-piece carton structure using 320gsm Popset Black — a rich, uncoated stock that holds shape beautifully. The lid was screen printed in clear spot UV varnish to deliver an elegant black-on-black finish, subtle until the light catches it.
Practical guidance upfront
During quoting, we helped Springload explore a range of options — including various order volumes and packaging formats — to make sure the final outcome balanced impact and budget Including a more cost-effective tuck-in carton option
