Branded to Last: Custom Labels for Springload’s Mountain Gin & Kombucha
When Springload Wellington’s largest independently owned digital agency, needed custom labels for a limited run of house-made gin and kombucha, they came to us. The bottles were part of a thoughtful Christmas gift for their clients and team—something personal, on-brand, and high-quality. The labels had to match that intent: polished, practical, and ready to impress straight out of the fridge.
We ran the job through our Ricoh C9100 to get sharp detail and consistent colour, then printed onto Eurotak Freezer Permanent Solid Back stock, perfect for chilled storage and handling. The strong adhesive meant no lifting at the edges, and the smooth surface gave their design the professional finish it deserved. Each label was trimmed to size and fitted with a 10mm peel tab, slit for easy application, quick, clean and simple to apply.
Even with a small run of 110 labels total, we treated this like any premium project: accurate proofs, fast turnaround and no shortcuts.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: "Our experience at Colourcraft has been amazing from start to finish. Always speedy with email responses and the turnaround was incredibly quick as well!" – Joyce O’Riley, Springload
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.

Encouraging Te Reo in Every Zoom Call: Custom Desk Stands for Te Taura Whiri
Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori the Māori Language Commission, came to us with a smart idea during the Zoom boom of 2021: a physical desktop reference to help people use more Te Reo Māori in online meetings. They needed something simple, portable and brand-aligned to support their mission of normalising te reo use in professional settings. We helped bring it to life.
We started by prototyping a fold-flat desk stand with interlocking tabs, no glue, no fuss. After a few iterations, we landed on a sturdy triangle structure that looked sharp and held up over time. Printed on durable 350gsm Silk Matt board in full colour, these stands were diecut to shape, then packed flat and ready for assembly. It’s a clean, effective format that suits everything from hot desks to home offices.
These “Huitīma” and “Huitopa” stands became popular fast. The first 500 were a giveaway and they disappeared almost overnight. Because Te Taura Whiri doesn’t sell its resources, they added a simple note to their website: if your organisation wants printed sets, contact Colourcraft. That small line has brought in steady reprint orders from councils, schools, and government departments across Aotearoa. We keep hundreds in stock, so when the next request lands, we’re ready.
Here is what the team at Te Taura Whiri had to say in a 5-star google review after a few years of working with us:
“Ka pai ngā mahi a Colourcraft. We appreciate how responsive and timely they are as often we have urgent work required… We'll continue to use Colourcraft as they have provided printing solutions for a range of resources we produce without fuss.” – Kiriana Eparaima-Hautapu, Te Taura Whiri

Field-Ready and Built to Last: Custom Notebooks for Earth Sciences New Zealand
When Earth Sciences New Zealand (formerly GNS Science) needed a set of tough, functional notebooks for their field teams and outreach efforts, they came to us. With over 150 years of applied science behind them, from seismic monitoring to marine research, they needed a product that was practical, portable and professional. These notebooks had to hold up to field use, feel premium in hand and reflect the credibility of New Zealand’s top-tier earth and water science authority.
We took that brief and delivered. The finished product: 1000 sleek A6 notebooks, screen printed in white ink onto rich black 250gsm Notturno stock, an uncoated premium paper known for both durability and texture. Inside, the 36 internal pages were digitally printed on 100gsm Advance Laser, featuring a 5mm dot grid—ideal for diagrams, sketches, and real-time observations in the field. Binding was kept simple and cost-effective with a clean saddle-stitch, creased and trimmed to size for pocket carry.
This wasn’t just a notebook—it was a functional tool, built for scientists, made to withstand rugged use, and designed to be handed out with pride at industry events. Screen printing the white ink gave the covers a sharp, high-contrast finish that digital methods simply couldn’t match.

Fresh Branding for a Sweet Launch: Paylite Panels for Fix & Fogg
Fix & Fogg, one of New Zealand’s most creative nut butter makers, were gearing up to launch their new Pistachio Spread. They wanted to refresh an existing retail display stand so it could carry the new product branding and stand out in-store. The challenge? The unit was older, but the new panels had to give it a sharp, premium look without a costly rebuild.
We produced six paylite panels from Fix & Fogg’s supplied graphics, covering five shelf fronts and the display header. Each was printed on our Roland XR-640, a machine built for bold, vibrant colour and crisp detail even at large sizes. The graphics were printed onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 self-adhesive vinyl, mounted on 3mm paylite and trimmed to size, giving a durable, professional finish ready for retail.
Alongside the panels, we also printed recipe cards, info sheets and scroll tags, everything the Fix & Fogg team needed to bring the Pistachio Spread story to life. The result was a refreshed display that looked smart, professional and retail-ready.
The client’s feedback said it best: the new display “looks so much smarter” and the assets were “so well done.” That’s exactly the outcome we aim for.
