Bold Branding for Bold Coffee: Limited-Edition Wraps for Emporio x Phoenix FC
When Emporio Coffee teamed up with the Wellington Phoenix as their official coffee partner, they needed packaging that did more than hold beans, it had to celebrate the season. For this special edition, they created a custom coffee blend for fans and partners and asked us to bring the visual side of that story to life.
The brief: wrap-around sleeves for 250g pouches, featuring a bold commissioned illustration of the Phoenix. The goal? Make it feel premium and worthy of both shelf and supporter.
We printed a short run of 250 card wraps using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us sharp CMYK colour and dead-accurate alignment. Each sleeve was printed on sturdy 300gsm Advance Laser stock, creased in four spots for a snug fit and finished with double-sided tape for fast application by the Emporio team. Delivered flat, creased and ready to go.
It’s a great example of how short-run print can still make an impact. Eye-catching, on-brand and built with care, just like Emporio’s coffee.
“The Colourcraft team have always been incredibly helpful, friendly and professional… they makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products.” – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

Bold Branding, Fast Turnaround: Custom Vinyl Decals for Fix & Fogg’s Giveaway
Fix & Fogg our award-winning neighbours and one of NZ’s most loved food brands—came to us with a fun, fast-paced challenge. They were running a social media giveaway featuring a custom-branded Kenwood mixer, and needed high-impact vinyl decals to bring the concept to life. The design? Their logo paired with an orange-and-white check pattern to match a classic tablecloth. Simple in theory—but timings were tight.
With less than 24 hours on the clock, we sourced the exact '047 Orange Red' Oracal 751 vinyl, cut and weeded two decals, and prepped them with application tape—all before delivering to their team for install. Oracal 751 is a top-tier cast vinyl known for holding its shape, sticking strong, and keeping colours crisp even in rough conditions. Perfect for promo gear that needs to look good, go on smooth, and stay put.
To keep things stress-free, we even cut extra spare decals from offcuts—just in case anything went sideways during application. (It didn’t.)
“The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks team!”

Crafted for the Café: Custom Coasters for Flight Coffee Hangar
Flight Coffee Hangar is one of Wellington's most distinctive specialty cafés, a brand with genuine craft values, a strong visual identity and a reputation for quality that runs from bean to cup. When they came to us needing custom drink coasters, the ask was straightforward, but getting it right took a bit more than hitting print.
Their initial spec called for a standard card stock, which we advised against, as coasters need to absorb moisture, and a typical 350gsm stock simply isn't built for that. We recommended 275gsm Coaster Board instead: a purpose-made stock that handles condensation, holds up through a busy café shift and still takes print beautifully. We also suggested a minor size adjustment, from 90mm to 93mm, to optimise material usage without any visible difference to the finished piece.
Print was handled on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, with in-line quality control ensuring consistent colour across the full run. Both sides were printed in CMYK to match Flight Coffee's branding, then die-cut to a precise 93mm circle using our JWEI 6040, no tooling required, clean edges every time.
The initial run of 500 was followed three months later by a reprint of 1000, made straightforward because we retained the artwork and had the production process dialled in. A small detail we were glad we caught: a spelling error in the supplied file, corrected before anything went to press.
The result is a coaster that looks the part, performs under real café conditions, and carries the Flight Coffee brand with the quality it deserves.

Trusted by Developers: Durable Corflute & ACM Signage for Faisandier Group
When Faisandier Group one of Wellington’s most active townhouse developers needed a full signage pack for their Nikau Grove project, they came straight to us. That’s nothing new. Since 2020, we’ve been their go-to supplier for developer signage across more than ten of their sites. Why? Because when the stakes are high, they know we’ll get it right.
This project was anchored around Nikau Grove, where they required large-format outdoor corflute panels for high-visibility roadside fencing, hazard identification boards for site safety, and QR-code “sign in here” boards. On top of that, we also produced 20 branded logo panels, designed not just for Nikau Grove, but versatile enough to be used across their current developments and even future sites down the line.
Like many construction projects, the pressure was on: tight timelines, big formats and practical challenges of transporting oversized corflute panels safely across Wellington motorways. Midway through production, we also spotted that one of the supplied images was dangerously low resolution. Rather than letting poor quality hit the site, we paused, flagged the issue and worked with Faisandier to correct it — ensuring the finished signs looked sharp and professional at scale.
For materials, we recommended 5mm corflute for lightweight, cost-effective panels and ACM boards with whiteboard laminate for the hazard board panel. Everything was produced on our HP Latex 365, which delivers vibrant CMYK output that’s both eco-friendly and durable, perfect for long-term outdoor use in tough construction environments.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review:
“The finest printer in all the land! I've been working with Colourcraft for over 12 years and they've never let me down. Conversely, I have let them down many times with ridiculous requests due to my lack of planning and preparation and they have never complained or cut me loose, amazing really.
When all those other printers get wobbly legs and start dropping out of the race, crying out for water and complaining that their legs are sore. Colourcraft are gliding majestically out in front, effortlessly, unmercifully crushing their competition with the greatest service a customer could ever hope for. Even on the small jobs they go the extra mile.
Their expert advice and guidance has steered me in the right direction when my hair-brained ideas could have ended in absolute disaster. They know their stuff. I'm stirred to write a poem about how much I appreciate Colourcraft but I think this review will lose all credibility if I do, so I shall refrain. I'd give them 6 stars if Google would let me. Colourcraft is Wellington’s printer of choice.” – Simon Faisandier, Director
That kind of feedback is exactly why we do what we do.

Fast Turnaround, Flawless Finish: Carton Wraps for Goodnature
Goodnature is a conservation technology company out of Wellington, known for their humane, CO₂-powered pest traps that are exported to over 25 countries. In early 2023, they had a problem—an urgent export order of A18 Grey Squirrel Trap Kits needed to ship, but they were short of the branded carton wraps that seal and label each box.
Their usual packaging supplier had a five-week lead time. Could we do better?
Absolutely.
Within 24 hours we had a prototype in their hands. Then we produced 550 high-quality wraps across the next few days—getting the job done in record time and saving their export schedule.
We printed the wraps on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which delivers sharp detail and flawless colour consistency on every sheet. We paired this with Tiger FBB 240gsm stock—a stiff, double-coated board with a smooth print surface and excellent durability for consumer packaging.
To finish, we creased and bevel-cut the closing flaps using our JWEI 6040 digital cutter—clean, crisp, and fast, without the need for custom dies or tooling.
The result? A print solution that matched their brand’s quality, hit the deadline, and kept their supply chain moving. In fact, they came back with another order just a week later—and six more over the next 12 months.
