Sharp Enough to Deal: Custom Playing Card Decks for Simfuni
Simfuni is an Auckland-based insurtech company that helps insurance businesses ditch legacy platforms and modernise their operations. So when they needed a promotional tool that could make that message land in person, at conferences, in sales meetings, with investors. A custom playing card deck was a smart move. The concept: a tongue-in-cheek deck called *Are You Still Gambling on Legacy Platforms?* The execution had to match the brand. Premium feel, clean print, and packaging that looked the part.
We produced 100 sets of 54 playing cards, sized at 63 × 88mm, printed double-sided in full colour on 300gsm Pro Digital Silk stock. Each card was matt laminated on both sides for a smooth, scuff-resistant finish, then die-cut to size and weeded of waste. Cards were packed into custom-printed tuck-in cartons, produced on 260gsm Tiger FBB cartonboard, matt laminated on the face, die-cut and glued, creating a complete, finished product ready to hand over or ship out.
Print was handled on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 with integrated quality control that checks colour and registration in real time across every sheet. No drift, no inconsistency. What you approve in proof is what comes off the press. Carton die-cutting was done on our JWEI 6040, which handles custom shapes without expensive tooling or setup delays, keeping the project moving efficiently.
We supplied artwork templates, managed the proofing process for both cards and cartons, and guided the client through a smooth approval. There was a time pressure element too, a portion of the decks were needed ahead of an overseas event, so getting the proofing and sign-off process right first time mattered. Clear communication on both sides meant the project moved from artwork submission to approved proof without revisions, and into production on schedule.
The result was a professional, premium card deck, produced in Wellington and ready to travel.

Premium Training Tool: Custom Card Pack + Wallet-Style Carton for ComplyWith
ComplyWith is a Wellington-based legal compliance platform helping organisations across New Zealand get their compliance right, without the guesswork. For their “Building Blocks of Good Compliance” initiative, they needed a premium, tactile training tool: 300 sets of custom double-sided playing cards, neatly packaged in branded cartons.
Each set included 28 custom-sized cards (76mm x 110mm, rounded corners), printed in full colour both sides. The goal was to turn complex compliance ideas into something accessible, hands-on and memorable, using the power of a well-designed physical tool to reinforce learning. The impact was clear: just two months after the initial run, ComplyWith returned for a second order of another 300 units.
The project involved tight deadlines, late-stage design changes and multiple decision-makers, so speed, precision and proactive support were non-negotiable. We produced structural carton prototypes early, advised on format options (wallet vs tuck-in vs two-piece), and supported Salted Herring’s design team with precise, production-ready dielines.
The final packs were printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, delivering flawless colour consistency across all sets. Cards were printed on 300gsm Pro-Digital Silk stock and matte laminated both sides for durability and smooth handling. The cartons were printed on 260gsm Tiger FBB board, matte laminated one side for protection and a refined, soft-touch feel. Internal messaging beneath the flap completed the unboxing experience.
"We always receive the best service and quality products from Colourcraft. They have a super speedy turnaround and their team is very professional." — Kathryn McCormack, ComplyWith

PartsTrader ‘Parts Request’ Pads: Streamlining Automotive Ordering for Mechanics
PartsTrader is a leading digital marketplace connecting automotive repairers, parts suppliers, and insurers across New Zealand and the United States. They wanted a practical tool to help mechanics quickly identify the parts they needed while encouraging them to use the PartsTrader platform for orders.
We designed and printed a custom A5 pad, digitally produced on 100gsm Advanced Laser stock in CMYK on one side. Each pad included 21 pages with a sturdy backing card, glued at the top edge and trimmed to A5, with a drilled hole for convenient handling. Digital printing allowed us to personalise the last page of each pad, rewarding users who placed 20 part orders and including messages throughout the pad showing progress toward the reward—turning a simple pad into a motivating, interactive tool for mechanics.
The pads were finished to be robust and practical for workshop use, while still reflecting PartsTrader’s professional brand. Each page printed clearly and vibrantly, ensuring legibility even in busy, hands-on environments. The combination of digital precision and careful finishing meant the pads were ready for immediate use, delivered directly to PartsTrader via courier.
