Premium Keg Collar Printing: Reflecting Good George Brewing's Commitment to Craft
At Colourcraft, we're passionate about collaborating with exceptional brands and the work we produce for Good George Brewing Co was no exception. In 2022 over several orders, we printed close to 10,000 keg collars for this iconic Hamilton-based brewery.
Keg collars play a crucial role in identifying and branding beer kegs. These die-cut ‘collars’ are securely attached to the neck of each keg, ensuring that the specific beer inside can be easily recognised during its journey from Good George Brewing Co to bars and establishments throughout the country.
We print keg collars on Formakote Natura 300gsm, a locally-made packaging board sourced from sustainable, well-managed forests in Whakatāne, New Zealand. This board boasts excellent durability, especially when subjected to the rigorous conditions of chillers.
To achieve their unique shape, we cut the keg collars using a precision die-cutting process, using standing cutting tooling that is widely used by our brewery clients throughout the country.
We take pride in our craftsmanship and attention to detail, and we were thrilled to contribute to Good George Brewing Co.'s commitment to delivering extraordinary beers.

Subtle Impact: Black-on-Black Notebooks for City Gallery Wellington
City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi, a cornerstone of New Zealand’s contemporary art scene, came to us with a clever challenge: create a striking, sellable notebook to represent the gallery while it’s closed for renovations. They needed something elegant yet cost-effective, reflecting their bold visual brand, even without printed interior pages.
We collaborated with their team to bring the 'Art This Way' notebook to life. Initially considering white screenprinting, we suggested a sleek, lower-cost solution: black-on-black digital printing. By digitally printing black toner onto premium 320gsm Popset Black stock, we created a high-impact, light-catching effect that highlights the brand without shouting. Subtle, but powerful.
Inside, we kept the quality high—even though the pages were unprinted—by using Mohawk Superfine Eggshell White 118gsm, an FSC certified stock known for its beautiful texture and refined feel.
The final product was saddle-stitched, compact (130x210mm), and clean. And thanks to our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 with real-time quality control, every notebook came out consistently sharp and polished.
Here’s what they had to say: “The notebooks look great, we’re really happy with them!, thanks for getting it organised so quickly”

Custom Swing Tags & Hang Tags: Printed Locally in New Zealand
Custom Swing Tags & Hang Tags for Apparel, Gifts, Breweries and More
If your product sits on a shelf, hangs on a rack, or needs that final branded touch, custom swing tags are a smart, high-impact way to elevate your presentation. Ideal for apparel, gifts, cosmetics, breweries and other consumer products, our locally produced tags help communicate your brand’s personality and quality at a glance. We’re based in Wellington and deliver New Zealand–wide, with fast turnaround and flexible order sizes to suit both short runs and large-scale production.
Premium Printing, Precise Cutting, Endless Possibilities
Our swing tags combine premium print quality with versatile finishing options. We print on a wide range of materials including satin, matte, packaging boards and craft stocks, with options like pearlescent papers for a subtle metallic sheen. One of our biggest advantages is our computer-controlled die cutting, which lets us cut to almost any shape without the cost of traditional cutting dies. It’s perfect for short runs, unique shapes, or brands wanting to stand out without a big upfront investment.
We’ve produced custom hang tags for a wide range of New Zealand businesses, each with their own unique branding goals. For example, Seventhwave Wetsuits needed premium swing tags to reflect the craftsmanship of their locally made wetsuits, so we created elegant, durable tags that elevated their in-store presentation. Salt District Brewing came to us for growler tags that would look great behind the bar and hold up in busy hospitality settings—we delivered precisely cut kraft tags with a tactile, handcrafted feel. And when Ground Up Brewing launched a new series, we produced custom-shaped tags that reinforced their brand identity and gave their bottles a polished, professional finish.

Built tough: heavy-duty decals for Dynaflow and Enzed
At Colourcraft, we specialise in producing high-performance print work that goes the distance. Dynaflow, a trusted name in hydraulic engineering and an authorised distributor for ENZED, approached us to create a set of durable decals suitable for use in some of New Zealand’s toughest workshop environments.
Designed for long-lasting performance in rugged conditions, we printed these decals using our Roland XR-640 wide format printer, renowned for its crisp detail, bold colours, and exceptional durability. Each decal was printed onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 self-adhesive vinyl, then laminated with a gloss Avery Dennison DOL 2000 film to protect against UV, moisture, and abrasion. The decals were kiss cut to shape for easy application in the field.
Used across machinery and workspaces serviced by ENZED Hose Doctors, these decals combine practical durability with a professional finish—helping Dynaflow present a polished brand in even the harshest conditions.
We’re proud to support New Zealand businesses like Dynaflow with print solutions that are as tough and reliable as they are. Quality and attention to detail—every time.

Document Folders with Premium Finishes: Faisandier Group
The Faisandier Group is a family-run property developer based in Lower Hutt, delivering premium townhouses that set a new benchmark for quality living across the Wellington region. With a reputation for craftsmanship and detail, they came to us for presentation folders that carried the same premium feel as their developments, polished, modern and built to last.
We produced custom printed document folders on heavyweight 320gsm Popset Black stock. To elevate the finish, we applied a blind spot UV gloss varnish over the Faisandier logo and brand icon, creating a striking contrast against the matte background. Each folder was precision diecut to size and supplied flat, complete with business card slits for easy use. The result: a piece of print that feels as considered and enduring as their homes.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review—part of the most entertaining one we’ve ever earned:
“The finest printer in all the land!… When other printers get wobbly legs and start dropping out of the race, Colourcraft are gliding majestically out in front, unmercifully crushing their competition with the greatest service a customer could ever hope for.” – Simon, Marketing & Communications Director
That kind of feedback is exactly why we do what we do. If you’re looking for presentation folders or premium print that makes the right impression, we’d love to help. Get a fast, tailored quote with no pressure.
