Brass Menu Hardware and Premium Printing: Elevating the Dining Experience at Naumi Hotel
As a trusted supplier to Naumi Hotel, a Wellington establishment renowned for its dedication to luxury and uniqueness, we were thrilled when Rick, their General Manager, approached us with a challenge.
The task was to print menus for the Lola Rouge restaurant, to be elegantly displayed in brass free-standing menu hardware created by Proffer, a local design studio.
We printed Naumi's Lola Rouge Restaurant Menu in full colour on a robust 400gsm board. To ensure these menus could withstand the daily demands of a bustling restaurant, we applied a scuff-resistant matte lamination, giving durability with a premium soft-touch finish.
Then we die-cut a pair of slots at the menu's base. These slots were tailored to seamlessly accommodate Proffer's custom-made brass hardware, consisting of two metal plates and a rubber band. This innovative design enabled Naumi's team to easily update menus while ensuring the menu and brass hardware remained securely attached during use in the restaurant.
At Colourcraft, we take pride in crafting print projects with care and precision, knowing that the quality of our work is not only valued by our clients but also recognised and appreciated by their customers.

Precision Under Pressure: Custom Card Decks & Presentation Cartons for Datacom’s Datapay Event
When Datacom came to us ahead of a high-profile Datapay event, they needed something more memorable than a brochure, something tactile, premium and engaging. The ask: 50 full sets of custom-designed signal cards (35 per set), plus sleek, branded cartons to house each deck. Oh, and they needed it all in just over a week.
Tight timelines and complex finishing? We were in our element.
We prepped the card artwork for digital print on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its outstanding colour fidelity and precise registration. Each card was printed double-sided in CMYK on 300gsm satin stock, finished with a matt laminate for durability and a refined, scuff-resistant texture. We digitally die-cut each one to 63 x 89mm with 4mm rounded corners — spot on, every time.
For the cartons, we used 320gsm Burano Nero Black — an uncoated, deep-black board known for its rich tone and consistency. The lids were screen printed in spot UV gloss varnish to highlight the Datapay brand with impact and precision. Each carton was assembled, packed with its custom card set, and delivered in full by the client’s deadline.
Once again, we delivered premium results under pressure, with no compromises.
Serious about quality? So are we. Every detail matters—and we don’t miss.

Premium Training Tool: Custom Card Pack + Wallet-Style Carton for ComplyWith
ComplyWith is a Wellington-based legal compliance platform helping organisations across New Zealand get their compliance right, without the guesswork. For their “Building Blocks of Good Compliance” initiative, they needed a premium, tactile training tool: 300 sets of custom double-sided playing cards, neatly packaged in branded cartons.
Each set included 28 custom-sized cards (76mm x 110mm, rounded corners), printed in full colour both sides. The goal was to turn complex compliance ideas into something accessible, hands-on and memorable, using the power of a well-designed physical tool to reinforce learning. The impact was clear: just two months after the initial run, ComplyWith returned for a second order of another 300 units.
The project involved tight deadlines, late-stage design changes and multiple decision-makers, so speed, precision and proactive support were non-negotiable. We produced structural carton prototypes early, advised on format options (wallet vs tuck-in vs two-piece), and supported Salted Herring’s design team with precise, production-ready dielines.
The final packs were printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, delivering flawless colour consistency across all sets. Cards were printed on 300gsm Pro-Digital Silk stock and matte laminated both sides for durability and smooth handling. The cartons were printed on 260gsm Tiger FBB board, matte laminated one side for protection and a refined, soft-touch feel. Internal messaging beneath the flap completed the unboxing experience.
"We always receive the best service and quality products from Colourcraft. They have a super speedy turnaround and their team is very professional." — Kathryn McCormack, ComplyWith

Premium Finish for a Powerful Message: Arise Church Ministry Yearbook
When Arise Church came to us with their 2020 Ministry School Yearbook, they weren’t just after a print job—they wanted something that "felt" as meaningful as the experience it represented. With a bold vision and a community that spans campuses nationwide, Arise needed a high-quality, beautifully finished piece to celebrate their graduating students. Something tactile. Something they’d be proud to hand over. And that’s exactly what we delivered.
We produced 100 bespoke yearbooks using premium 270gsm Colourplan Forest stock for the cover. Onto that, we screen-printed their branding in a "blind" spot UV varnish for a light-catching detail. Inside, the full-colour pages were printed on smooth 120gsm stock, and excellent image clarity. To top it off? A white-thread sail stitch binding that adds a crafted, purposeful finish you won’t get from glue or staples.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
"We love working with the team at Colourcraft… prompt & quality service right from quoting through to delivery, even under time pressures!" – Piri Craig, Arise Church

Bold Branding, Built to Last: ‘Stay Wild’ Promo Print for QT Wellington
For a brand like QT Hotel, every guest touchpoint is a chance to surprise and delight, and their Stay Wild campaign was no exception. In late 2019, the QT team launched a limited-time Stay Wild promotion that needed printed collateral to match the hotel’s playful, design-led style. They came to us for fast-turnaround A5 menus and drinks vouchers that looked great on the bar and held up under regular use.
We produced two key print pieces:
- An A5 promo card, printed double-sided on 350gsm Silk Matt, trimmed and matt laminated for durability and style
- A set of 90x55mm drinks vouchers — same premium stock, same sharp finish
Both items were printed CMYK both sides using our digital press, ensuring bold colour and crisp detail on every piece. The matt lamination wasn’t just for looks — it added a smooth, scuff-resistant finish that stood up to regular handling while keeping everything looking premium.
This was just one of the hundreds of print jobs we’ve delivered for QT Wellington over the years. From seasonal campaigns to daily operational print, they trust us to hit the mark—every time.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“I’ve worked with Colourcfaft for over 3 years, their professionalism and turnaround times are stunning. Always produce a quality product to the highest standards. Cannot recommend Colourcraft enough!” – Andrew Nastaszczuk, QT Wellington
