Thoughtful, Sustainable Packaging That Helped GrowProbe Go from Prototype to Market
When GrowProbe was ready to bring their innovative indoor plant moisture probe to market, they needed packaging that did more than just look good — it had to hold the product securely, be cost-effective and align with their eco-conscious values. The product wasn’t yet in stores, so the packaging had to make a strong first impression for online sales and future retail opportunities.
The client came to us with a draft backing card structure and the need for an interlocking feature to keep the probe in place. We refined the design to improve fit and function, suggested printing on both sides of a single-sided Kraftpak Kraft 283gsm board and produced multiple prototypes to perfect the form before committing to cutting tooling. This process allowed us to get the locking system right and create packaging that feels as considered as the product itself.
The final packaging was printed black on both sides, die-cut to shape and delivered with a natural kraft aesthetic that complements GrowProbe’s sustainable brand. The product launched smoothly, gaining traction online and through social media, with a reprint order following a few years later — proof that the design continues to perform.

Premium Recognition: Certified Fresh Certificates for Garage Project
When Garage Project launched their Certified Fresh programme, they needed a way to recognise and reward retailers who were going the extra mile to stock their hop-forward beers at peak freshness. These weren’t just any certificates — they had to be display-worthy, feel substantial and reflect the bold, quality-first ethos that defines Garage Project. As a long-standing client of ours, they trusted us to deliver print that lived up to their brand and the story behind it.
Custom Print, Built to Last
We produced 150 A3 certificates on a textured 320gsm Rives Tradition stock — heavyweight, tactile, and ideal for premium presentation. Each certificate was printed single-sided in black but the standout feature? A bold 'Certified Fresh' graphic in metallic green, applied with precision hot stamp foiling. This technique uses heat and pressure to lay down foil that catches light and attention, perfect for retail display and high-end brand alignment. The result was sharp, durable and undeniably Garage Project.
It’s All in the Details
That green foil wasn’t just for show — it elevated the piece. Custom foiling is a specialty finish that takes a certificate from standard to standout — exactly what this project called for.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“The Colourcraft Crew are trusted and valued suppliers. Their product is consistently delivered to specification, within agreed timeframes, and with exceptional customer service and care. I have no hesitation in recommending them.” – Tim Davie, Global Logistics Manager
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.

Innovative Packaging Design: Helping the Buy New Zealand Made Campaign Make an Impact
We love working with clients who have a passion for making an impact, and the Buy New Zealand Made Campaign is no exception. When they approached us in 2022 with a unique problem, we were happy to take on the challenge.
Their goal was simple: to make a lasting impression on new businesses joining the campaign. Instead of just sending out a certificate (which we also print) in an envelope, they wanted something special, something that would showcase the certificate and other New Zealand-made goodies in a durable and attractive way.
We got to work and designed a custom carton that could withstand the rigours of the courier network. Which used a sturdy 1.5mm thick white e-flute board and included an insert to hold the certificate frame securely in place. We also created a cavity below the frame to hold other promotional items, making the carton a perfect showcase for all things New Zealand-made.
Then we designed a certificate frame that was made entirely from unprinted card, precisely sized to hold the certificate without any glue. The frame was cut from premium 350gsm white carton board, and we included a hole on the back for easy hanging on the wall. To add an extra touch of elegance, we created a silver foiled self-adhesive label to brand the carton and seal it closed during transit.
The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign was thrilled with the concept, and we produced the first 200 units in October 2022. We're proud to have been a part of this project and to have helped the campaign make a lasting impact on businesses joining the campaign.
