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

Clear, Trusted Comms: A5 Guidebook Printing for Metlink
When Metlink needed to communicate major updates to Wellington’s public transport network, they came to us with one clear goal: make it simple, clear and fast. This wasn’t just a design job, it was a public-facing document designed to help thousands of commuters navigate timetable and connection changes across buses, trains and ferries. The result? A sleek, accessible A5 guidebook that matched Metlink’s brand and met a tight rollout deadline.
We took care of the full production, starting with layout and design based on supplied content, then printing 1,000 copies using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. That machine’s no-nonsense colour accuracy and consistency was exactly what the job needed. Printed CMYK throughout, the booklet featured a durable 240gsm offset cover and 120gsm offset pages giving it enough weight to feel substantial, but still easy to flick through. Finished with saddle-stitching and trimmed to A5 size, every copy looked crisp, professional and purpose-built.
Fast turnaround, no compromise on quality
We ran electronic proofs and even mocked up a physical proof to make sure everything hit the mark. Turnaround from layout to delivery was just a few days, because when public comms are on the line, deadlines matter.

Custom Playing Card Printing NZ: Educational Decks for the Ministry for Culture & Heritage
In early 2023, the Ministry for Culture & Heritage approached us to produce 500 sets of custom playing cards and cartons for the Te Matatini Kapa Haka Festival — a nationwide celebration of Māori performing arts. The cards were designed as a giveaway educational tool for festival attendees. The Ministry needed premium print quality, durable materials and a partner who could deliver on a tight deadline.
We digitally printed 36 unique card designs per set on sturdy 350gsm Silk Matt board, ensuring a smooth, high-quality finish that feels great in hand. Each card was precision die-cut with rounded corners using our standing cutting dies, then paired with matching cartons printed on 300gsm Silk Matt. The cartons were glued, assembled and packed ready for distribution — all within just five working days from order to delivery.
From accurate colour reproduction to consistent cutting and assembly, every detail was handled in-house for maximum quality control. This project shows what’s possible when cultural storytelling meets precision print.

Made to Last: Durable Directional Signage for Fix & Fogg’s Wellington Site
When Fix & Fogg makers of some of the best nut butter on the planet—needed clear, functional signage for their Wellington production site, they came to us. The brief? Durable, easy-to-read signs that could withstand the elements while guiding delivery drivers, customers and visitors around their busy factory space.
We printed two outdoor panels showing delivery/pickup locations and warehouse opening hours. These weren’t about flashy branding—they were about clear communication, hard-wearing materials, and signage that stays legible and professional, no matter the weather.
We printed on our Roland XR-640, using eco-solvent inks known for their resistance to fading, scratches, and moisture. For the vinyl, we went with Avery Dennison MPI 2904, paired with DOL 2100 matt laminate to lock in colour and protect from UV and abrasion. The graphics were then mounted to 4mm ACM panels and fully edge-wrapped—meaning the graphics continue around the sides for a cleaner, more polished appearance.
Here’s the kicker: these photos were taken five months after install. The signs still look as good as the day they left our shop—a solid reminder that quality materials and solid print work matter.
Testimonial from Shenae at Fix & Fogg:
"The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks Team!"
