Commemorating the Pacific Business Trust's Journey through Print: A Meaningful Report for PwC Wellington
A new client, PwC Wellington, asked for our help in bringing a beautifully designed report to life for their client, the Pacific Business Trust. The purpose of this report was to commemorate the remarkable journey of the Pacific Business Trust since its establishment in 1985, paying homage to the past, embracing the present, and envisioning the future.
The report comprised 66 pages and was perfect bound. In our commitment to sustainability and maintaining print quality, we used Eco-100, a fully recycled Chlorine Free paper. To enhance both the visual appeal and durability, we applied a matte lamination to the cover, resulting in a scuff-resistant, soft-touch finish. Additionally, we applied a spot gloss UV varnish to specific elements of the cover's graphics, creating a glossy effect that added depth and contrast to the overall design.
We take pride in the trust placed in us by PwC Wellington and we are proud to have played a role in bringing this significant report to life. It is our commitment to quality that drives us to deliver exceptional print solutions that reflect the impact and importance of our clients' work.

High-Impact Posters for Promisia: Promotional Printing that Delivered
Promisia is a New Zealand-based provider of aged care and retirement living, trusted by hundreds of residents and families across the country. When their marketing team needed eye-catching promotional collateral to support the Arthrem Natural Joint Support brand, they came to us for posters that not only looked sharp but could be delivered quickly and reliably for their campaign.
We produced 500 A2 posters and 500 A3 posters, all printed on 210gsm Silk Matt stock for a professional finish with just the right weight and durability.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “We received a slick promotional package from Colourcraft which was compelling so we thought we'd give them a go for a small print job, although we were very happy with our current print supplier at that time. Since then, we've entrusted them with key promotional printing and conference assets as their quality is excellent, let alone their customer service and attention to detail. The turnaround time is outstanding - as an example, Colourcraft had provided a print proof and completed our print job including delivery before another company had even managed to organise a print proof. If you have high expectations as we do, use Colourcraft.” – Stacey Neale, Marketing Manager at Promisia Ltd.

Gold Standard Finish: Custom Bottle Labels for Harvard Cider Co.
Harvard Cider is a premium craft cider company based in Massachusetts, USA—known for small-batch ciders made from locally grown apples and a fiercely loyal following. They wanted labels that did their product justice: bold, polished, and professional. Tim Gibson of Flying Whities had already created stunning designs—but both he and the Harvard team wanted peace of mind that the final printed labels would hit the mark. That’s where we came in.
Tim connected with us from Wellington to get the labels print-ready for production in the States. We handled the full prepress setup—building out colour separations, adding a white base layer, and prepping metallic elements to work beautifully on a metalised label stock. The artwork had to reveal specific gold areas while staying true to the designer’s intent. That level of precision meant no cutting corners.
Despite a trans-Pacific team and a tight deadline, the job ran smooth as cider. Harvard’s US-based printer hit the launch window with zero delays—and told the client they wouldn’t have made it without our prep work.
“Your work was literally the only thing that allowed us to get those labels expedited. Our printer told us straight up that if the artwork hadn't been so well prepared for print there is no way they would have hit our deadline.”
– Chase Brooks, Co-Founder & Director of Marketing, Harvard Cider Co.

Bold Finish for an Iconic Kiwi Brand: Premium Business Cards for Buy NZ Made
Buy NZ Made champions New Zealand businesses by licensing the iconic Kiwi trademark, representing over 1200 locally owned and operated brands. When their leadership team changed in 2021, they needed new business cards something sharp, on-brand and built to last. As proud long-time campaign members and trusted print supplier to them, they turned to us to bring that vision to life.
We laid out the graphics and printed a set of 90 x 55mm cards on sturdy 350gsm Silk Matt stock. Then we then added a scuff-resistant matte laminate to protect them from wear. The finishing touch? A bold spot UV varnish applied, glossing the NZ Made icon and subtle typographic lines directly onto cards unrprined background. This created a sharp contrast between the high-gloss elements and the matte background, a crisp white-on-white effect that feels premium and looks even better in hand.
This wasn’t a finish we’d done before, with no samples to share and no guarantees. But the Buy NZ Made team trusted our eye for detail. That calculated risk paid off. The result? Striking business cards that honour an iconic brand, and hold up beautifully out in the real world.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Colourcraft are a fantastic, boutique printer. Responsive, attentive and produce great work!" – Anna Heyward, The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign

Big-Day Ready: Custom Signs That Set the Scene
When Marilyn came to us, she was deep in the logistics of helping organise her son’s wedding, lending a hand with the kind of thoughtful details that make a big day feel truly special. Her role? Sort out two A1 signage panels: one to welcome guests, the other to lay out the seating plan in style.
Simple in theory—but as anyone who’s ever planned a wedding knows, the devil is in the details.
We worked closely with Marilyn to lock in the specs. We proofed the artwork, made sure everything was dialled in, then moved fast to deliver exactly what she needed—on time and stress-free.
Printed using our Roland XR-640, the panels came to life with rich colour and sharp clarity. We used Avery Dennison’s MPI 2904 vinyl—an ideal choice for vibrant, smooth application—mounted onto 4mm paylite for structure and a premium finish.
Marilyn said it best: “The signs did come out well and really fit in with the rest of the theme. Thank you for all your work to help get them printed.”
Need beautiful, reliable print for a big day? You bring the idea—we’ll handle the rest.
