Smart Design, Smooth Install: Custom Bunting Flags for Garage Project
Garage Project isn’t your average brewery, known for pushing boundaries in craft beer, they needed custom bunting for a Day of the Dead-themed event, celebrating their bold seasonal brews Day of the Dead and La Calavera Catrina. They’ve trusted us with their print since 2014, so when they asked for iconic flag-style bunting, we knew we could do better.
Instead of punching holes and threading each flag (which is fiddly and slow), we proposed a smarter design: a double-sided flag that folds over the line and secures cleanly with staples or tape. Faster to install, cleaner to look at, and ready for action when event crews are on the clock.
We printed the flags on durable 210gsm silk matt stock using full CMYK—giving rich depth to the intricate label art without compromising clarity or colour. Each piece was die-cut to a sharp symmetrical shape with a single crease down the middle, making folding and mounting a breeze. Built tough enough for back-to-back events, but crisp enough to show off on any taproom wall.
“Ben and 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, Garage Project

Trusted Under Pressure: A Meaningful Campaign, Printed Fast for The Cancer Society
When VML New Zealand came to us with ‘The Book that Ended Cancer,’ we knew it wasn’t just another print job—it was part of a meaningful campaign. Commissioned by The Cancer Society of New Zealand, the initiative aimed to raise awareness and drive real change around cervical cancer in Aotearoa.
We’d already been working closely with VML to produce a premium, cost-effective short run of perfect-bound, full-colour books. The goal was to create something remarkable for 25 well-known New Zealanders who would receive copies, add their stories, and amplify the message through their networks.
Then came an unexpected opportunity: Hilary Barry wanted to read from the book the very next day on Seven Sharp. The only catch? The books hadn’t been printed yet, we’re in Wellington—and the show films in Auckland.
VML could have worked with a local Auckland printer, but when timing was critical and the quality needed to be spot on, they trusted us. We produced a handful of books in just a few hours—printed, bound, and ready for an urgent courier to the airport. From Wellington to Auckland, in time for the cameras.
We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to ensure sharp, consistent colour and perfect alignment across every page. Covers were printed full colour one side on 350gsm Advance Laser, finished with a scuff-resistant matt laminate for a soft-touch, durable feel. Pages were printed throughout on 120gsm Advance Laser for a smooth, high-quality finish.
A fast turnaround, with no corners cut.

Gold Standard Finish: Graduation Certificates for Workhub Services
Workhub Services delivers real-world transformation through their Whakamana Programme—a no-cost, eight-week course helping New Zealanders gain purpose, confidence and a pathway to employment. To celebrate each graduate’s journey, they came to us for something that felt meaningful: a Certificate of Graduation with a premium finish. Their designer had worked with us before, so even from outside Wellington, they trusted us to get the details right.
These A4 certificates were printed full colour on 300gsm Munken Pure Cream, an uncoated, tactile stock that feels every bit as refined as it looks. The highlight? A hot stamped gold foil seal applied with precision at the base of each certificate. It’s a subtle feature, but one that lifts the design and gives it a sense of formality and care.
Printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, we ensured crisp alignment and sharp colour throughout. The end result was clean, considered and built to reflect the professionalism of the programme and its graduates.

Premium Branding on Every Pour: Rigger Hang Tags for Kainui Brew Co
Kainui Brew Co is a standout Northland brewery with a loyal following and a bold, creative range of small-batch beers. Known for crafting fresh, taproom-filled flavours in Kerikeri’s lush vineyard country, their team needed a smart, premium way to label their takeaway riggers, without sacrificing flexibility or style. Already trusting us for keg collars and tap badges, they came back for hang tags that could handle the chill and still look sharp in hand.
We designed and printed 2,000 custom rigger tags, tailored to their brand. Each tag was printed on 300gsm Top Flight carton board, sturdy enough to handle fridges and cold storage without curling or soaking through. We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress for sharp CMYK print on the front and a clean black-only reverse, perfect for staff to jot down batch details. Once printed, tags were die-cut using our standing brewery die, an efficient choice that keeps the job fast and cost-effective while still delivering a quality result.

Gold Standard Branding: Custom Metallic Tap Badges for Hallertau Brewery
Hallertau Brewery, an award-winning craft brewery in Riverhead, Auckland, is known for bold, flavour-forward beers that stand out on tap and in the bottle. For the seasonal release of their Resurgence Strong NZ Pale Ale, they needed tap badges that would match the premium gold foil finish of their bottle labels, but also hold up in a busy, high-turnover bar environment.
Gold foil isn’t practical on removable self-adhesive vinyl, so we took a smarter route. We started with a metallic gold vinyl base, then printed multiple coats of white ink to block out areas that shouldn’t shine. Over that, we applied the coloured background before precision kiss-cutting each 85mm badge to shape. The result? A perfect metallic gold look that nailed Hallertau’s premium aesthetic, with the durability to handle the demands of bar service.
If you want your brand to stand out in the hand, on the shelf, or across the bar, we can help you get there, without the compromises. Get a fast, tailored quote, with no pressure.
