Craft Backing Craft: Bold Tap Badges for Hallertau Brewery

We’ve been working with Hallertau Brewery since 2016, printing tap badges for over 70 separate orders and a wide range of beers brewed right beside their iconic Auckland taproom.

Located in Riverhead, Hallertau isn’t just a brewery, it’s a full-blown experience. Their wood-fired kitchen, lush biergarten and ever-evolving beer list are matched by one thing: bold, confident design.

That’s where we come in.

We print their 73mm circular tap badges using a removable vinyl + Latex print setup designed to stick when needed, but peel clean when the keg empties. It’s a perfect match for venues like Hallertau, where the beer lines are always moving.

Their design style is strong, rich colours, sharp contrast, and high-impact graphics that pop behind the bar. Our HP Latex 365 setup gives us the sharpness and vibrancy to do their artwork justice, without compromising turnaround or practicality.

With Hallertau, it’s not about one job, it’s about consistency over years. Every order is another chapter in a long-term collaboration between brewers and printers who care about the craft.

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!"

Built for Volume, Made to Move: Removable Tap Badges for Urbanaut Brewing Co.

We’ve been printing tap badges for Urbanaut Brewing Co. since the beginning, literally. They took a chance on us back in 2017 after a cold email and over 130 orders later, we’re still part of their production flow.

Based in Kingsland, Auckland, Urbanaut is known for pushing boundaries, releasing bold, international-inspired beers and pumping out fresh drops at pace. With over 200 unique beers under their belt (and counting), they needed a tap badge solution that could keep up with their release cycle and venue rotation.

We print their 73mm circular tap badges using removable-grade vinyl, designed to hold strong while the keg is on and peel away cleanly when the next beer rolls in. No sticky mess. No damaged hardware. Just easy changeovers for busy bars.

Our setup pairs Orajet removable vinyl with HP Latex 365 technology, giving us fast curing times, crisp detail and vibrant colour. The combo is ideal for breweries with high-volume needs and short-term installs, where cost, ease of use and clean removal all matter.

There’s no drama, no delays, and no hand-holding needed. After 8 years and 100+ jobs, we’ve become part of how Urbanaut moves beer, from brewery to bar, badge by badge.

Emporio Coffee, Branded Beautifully: Everyday Materials That Deliver

Emporio Coffee has been a cornerstone of Wellington’s café scene since 2000—roasting premium beans, supporting ethical supply chains, and delivering exceptional coffee to over 50 cafes nationwide. When they rebranded in 2016, Emporio needed a local print partner who could keep pace with their day-to-day needs and match the quality of their product. With their HQ just across the street from our Walter Street shop, it didn’t take long for us to connect—and earn their trust.

Working alongside designer Gary Stewart from The Gas Project, we took Emporio’s refreshed brand and brought it to life across a wide range of printed collateral. From barista handbooks and branded order pads to stickers, notebooks and custom decals, we produced high-quality, durable materials that worked in busy hospitality environments. Most jobs were small to mid-sized runs—perfect for our digital print setup—and needed a quick turnaround without cutting corners.

One standout was their barista handbook: a wiro-bound reference tool designed for heavy use in training settings. Clear print, rugged build, on-brand to the last detail.

Ben and the team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional… always makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

Nearly a decade on, Emporio is still a loyal client—and we’re proud to support a fellow Wellington original.

Gold Standard Finish: Custom Foil-Stamped Cards for Ombra

When Ombra refreshed their branding, they needed print that matched their space: polished, premium, and built with care. As one of Wellington’s most beloved Italian spots, Ombra’s attention to detail is baked into everything from their seasonal cicchetti to their copper-piped fitout. Their team knew their print collateral had to live up to that standard. So when it came time to produce their new business cards and gift vouchers, they came straight to us.

Premium Stocks, Flawless Foil, No Compromises

Both the business cards and gift vouchers were printed on Rives Tradition Bright White 320gsm, a tactile, premium stock that holds ink beautifully and feels as refined as the restaurant it represents. Each piece was printed with two spot colours (Black and Cool Grey 6), followed by precision-aligned gold foil on the logo. The gift vouchers also featured individually numbered backs for traceability. Because the foil alignment had to be perfect to the fraction of a millimetre to align correctly with the logo, we offset-printed the colour layers first, then foil-stamped each piece to ensure total accuracy.

For Brands Where Every Detail Matters

This wasn’t just another print job. It was about precision—matching the brand, the materials, and the quality. We handled everything from proofs to foil alignment, sweating the small stuff so Ombra’s team didn’t have to.
