Bold Branding, Built to Last: Sandwich Board Panels for Aurora Argentinian Bakery
When Aurora Argentinian Bakery needed fresh signage for their bustling Te Aro storefront, they came straight to us because we’ve been their go-to print partner for years. We’ve helped Aurora with everything from business cards to menus and loyalty cards, so when they needed new sandwich board panels to fit their existing A-frame hardware, they knew we’d get it right. This wasn’t just about looking good; it was about attracting foot traffic and reinforcing offerings on the street.
We printed the panels using Avery Dennison MPI 2904 vinyl—known for its outdoor toughness and clean finish, then laminated them with DOL 2100 matt for added UV and scratch resistance. The panels were mounted to 4mm ACM (aluminium composite) for strength and weatherproofing, giving Aurora a robust, high-quality sign that stands up to Wellington’s wind and rain. Inside the frame, we applied matching black vinyl for a cohesive, polished look when the board is open, because every detail matters.
Why it worked:
- Custom-cut to fit their existing hardware
- Matt finish reduces glare and boosts readability
- Durable materials built for daily outdoor use

Built to Engage: Custom Playing Card Game for The Salvation Army
When The Salvation Army’s Next Gen team approached us, they were developing Tino Taonga - a kaupapa-led, nationwide initiative recognising tamariki and rangatahi as their greatest treasure. As part of that programme, they needed a physical engagement tool: a custom educational card game that felt professional, durable and meaningful enough to be used repeatedly across youth programmes throughout Aotearoa and the Pacific.
The brief evolved as the project progressed. Artwork and packaging files arrived in stages, quantities shifted late in the process and material decisions needed to balance budget with longevity. Our role was to guide the client and their design partner,Genre, through those decisions while keeping everything moving smoothly once approvals landed.
We printed 300 complete custom card deck sets, each consisting of 54 full-colour, double-sided playing cards plus an instruction card, housed in a custom tuck-in carton. The cards were digitally printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its pinpoint colour accuracy and consistency across the entire run. Cards were produced on 300gsm Pro Digital Silk, finished with a durable, scuff-resistant matt laminate on both sides before precision die-cutting.
For the cartons, we used Tiger FBB 260gsm carton board with a matt laminate applied to the outer face, delivering a premium finish while maintaining structural strength. Each carton was die-cut, weeded, glued and hand-packed with the cards before couriering nationwide.
The final result was a high-quality, personalised playing card set that matched the depth and care behind the wider Tino Taonga initiative, and the confidence in the finished product led the client to increase quantities just before print.

Bold Impact: Garage Project Bastard Rye Artwork Prepared for Print
Bringing a Complex Label Design to Life
Wellington’s Garage Project is known for pushing boundaries in craft brewing, and their Bastard Rye beer is no exception. When they needed production-ready artwork for a complex, multi-layered label designed by Tim Gibson of Flying Whities, they turned to us. The goal was to translate Tim’s intricate vision — including embossing, debossing, subtle ink shading and gold foil—into files that printers could run flawlessly.
Artwork Preparation & File Setup
We carefully edited and optimised the artwork, ensuring every layer and effect would reproduce accurately in print. Our process made sure the embossed areas, foil highlights, and shading were all correctly mapped, preserving the design’s depth and detail. By understanding the intended print outcome, we were able to set up the files so production would be smooth and predictable, giving Garage Project confidence their label would look as bold and distinctive as the beer itself.
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do. Ready to elevate your next print project? Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.

Subtle Branding, Full Impact: Premium Coasters for Regent
Just before their grand opening, the team behind Regent Wellington’s elevated cocktail pub—came to us with a simple but smart request: branded coasters. Not just to protect their beautiful hardwood bar tops, but to make sure every photo of a perfectly poured pint or ice-cold martini shared online subtly featured their brand.
They started with 1,000 units to trial the concept. Six months later, we’ve produced over 10,000 coasters for them—each one pulling double duty as drink protector and brand ambassador. Scroll through their Instagram and you’ll spot them everywhere. Branded, consistent, and quietly powerful.
To bring this to life, we used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, equipped with AIT and IQ-501 for real-time quality control and flawless colour consistency. Every coaster was printed on 275gsm Drink Coaster Board—a stiff, absorbent stock made specifically for the demands of bars and busy service. It prints beautifully, holds up under moisture, and maintains its shape through heavy use. Printed single-sided, in full-colour, sharp details and no colour drift—ideal for high-traffic hospitality environments where quality gets noticed.
