Gold Standard Branding: Custom Metallic Tap Badges for Hallertau Brewery
Hallertau Brewery, an award-winning craft brewery in Riverhead, Auckland, is known for bold, flavour-forward beers that stand out on tap and in the bottle. For the seasonal release of their Resurgence Strong NZ Pale Ale, they needed tap badges that would match the premium gold foil finish of their bottle labels, but also hold up in a busy, high-turnover bar environment.
Gold foil isn’t practical on removable self-adhesive vinyl, so we took a smarter route. We started with a metallic gold vinyl base, then printed multiple coats of white ink to block out areas that shouldn’t shine. Over that, we applied the coloured background before precision kiss-cutting each 85mm badge to shape. The result? A perfect metallic gold look that nailed Hallertau’s premium aesthetic, with the durability to handle the demands of bar service.
If you want your brand to stand out in the hand, on the shelf, or across the bar, we can help you get there, without the compromises. Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.

Flawless Finish for a Boutique Brand: DL Flyers for Room of Beauty
When Room of Beauty needed print-ready DL flyers to match the elegance of their boutique skincare studio in Papamoa Beach, their designer knew exactly who to call. Long-time collaborator Designerbloom a Wellington-based branding studio we’ve partnered with for 15+ years, referred Anne our way.

Crafting Quality: Salt District Brewing's Growler Hang Tags
When Salt District Brewing, a small brewery located in Whangamatā approached us, their aim was to improve the quality of their printed materials in time for the upcoming summer season. With new brewing equipment on the way, they were preparing to expand their presence throughout the Coromandel.
Salt District Brewing proudly offers a range of handcrafted, on-site brewed beers to customers in reusable glass growlers. They entrusted us with the task of producing a run of growler hang tags. These hang tags were printed in full colour on robust 283gsm Kraft Board, ensuring both durability and visual appeal. Then we precisely die-cut them into the hang tag shape.

Premium Impact: Pink Foiled Business Cards for Wall St Designs
When Wall St Designs a leading interior design consultancy in Wellington needed business cards that reflected their sophisticated, high-end aesthetic, they came to us. Their work is all about detail, texture and beautiful finishes, so naturally, they wanted cards that communicated the same quality from the first handshake. The goal? Elegant, memorable cards that match their brand’s refined yet bold style.
We printed the cards digitally on a sturdy 350gsm silk-matt stock using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its sharp, consistent colour output. To elevate both look and feel, we applied a scuff-resistant matt laminate. This not only adds a premium tactile experience but also protects the cards from everyday wear, ideal for something that’s constantly in motion between clients, desks and design presentations.
Then came the real standout feature: a hot-stamped metallic pink foil, used to accent the logo. The foil catches the light and delivers a luxurious shimmer instantly eye-catching and perfectly on-brand. It’s a small detail that adds a big impression.

Beer. Poetry. Branding: Coasters That Carried the Message for 8 Wired
When one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed craft breweries launches a campaign that invites customers to write beer-inspired haiku, the print has to be as clever as the concept. 8 Wired Brewing came to us looking for high-quality, low-cost branded coasters to support their “Brew Haiku” promotion. They needed something sturdy, good-looking, and fast. We delivered.
To keep things sharp and economical, we digitally printed 2,000 customised coasters using a durable 350gsm stock—ideal for absorbing the odd spill while still showing off full-colour artwork. Each coaster was printed double-sided in CMYK, then diecut to a clean 100mm circle to fit the standard beer glass footprint. We also tweaked the supplied artwork to work within the dieline, and sent a full mockup for sign-off before the presses rolled.
Turnaround was tight, but we nailed the timing. The job went from file to final delivery in a matter of days, giving 8 Wired everything they needed to kick off the campaign without a hitch. Print that looks good and gets there on time? That’s what we’re about.
“Wonderful to deal with such a professional team. We had a tight timeline, so Ben and the team made sure we received the product in time. Thanks Team!”
