Clear, Trusted Comms: A5 Guidebook Printing for Metlink
When Metlink needed to communicate major updates to Wellington’s public transport network, they came to us with one clear goal: make it simple, clear and fast. This wasn’t just a design job, it was a public-facing document designed to help thousands of commuters navigate timetable and connection changes across buses, trains and ferries. The result? A sleek, accessible A5 guidebook that matched Metlink’s brand and met a tight rollout deadline.
We took care of the full production, starting with layout and design based on supplied content, then printing 1,000 copies using our Ricoh C9100 digital press. That machine’s no-nonsense colour accuracy and consistency was exactly what the job needed. Printed CMYK throughout, the booklet featured a durable 240gsm offset cover and 120gsm offset pages giving it enough weight to feel substantial, but still easy to flick through. Finished with saddle-stitching and trimmed to A5 size, every copy looked crisp, professional and purpose-built.
Fast turnaround, no compromise on quality
We ran electronic proofs and even mocked up a physical proof to make sure everything hit the mark. Turnaround from layout to delivery was just a few days, because when public comms are on the line, deadlines matter.

Bold, Branded & Built to Last: Custom EV Car Park Graphics for QT Wellington
QT Wellington is no ordinary hotel—it’s a full-blown sensory experience wrapped in luxury, art and bold design. When they dedicated a premium car park space to electric vehicle charging, they came straight to us. Why? Because their brand matters and they trusted us to get it right. They needed signage and surface graphics that not only communicated function but felt right at home in QT’s playful, high-design aesthetic.
We started by reimagining the QT Wellington logo as a charging icon, subtle but instantly recognisable. From there, we designed custom stencils and arranged professional on-site painting of the graphic and diagonal line work directly onto the car park surface. Everything was measured, proofed, and painted to spec—tight, clean and on brand. To complete the zone, we produced a printed ACM (aluminium composite) panel to mark the area as a designated ‘Electric Vehicle Charging Station.’
How would I operate without Colourcraft! Marketing can be a chaotic world but I never feel like I'm hassling the team here. Colourcraft goes above and beyond with quick turnarounds and an eagle eye over any work I send their way. Forever thankful. – Nikita Rawnlsey-Wratt, QT Wellington

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!”

Built to Stick: Custom Logo Decals for Fitzpatrick's Brewing Co
When Tauranga’s Fitzpatrick's Brewing Co needed a fresh batch of logo decals, they came to us with one goal: crisp, durable branding that could keep up with their growing presence in the Bay. A small-batch brewery with big ambition (and a passion for classic cars), Fitzpatrick’s was scaling fast—serving more venues, filling more flagons, and needing reliable print to match their momentum.
To get it right, we used Avery Dennison MPI 2903 gloss vinyl a durable, high-opacity stock that handles indoor and outdoor use like a champ. We printed 500 decals, full CMYK, using our Roland XR-640 for bold colour accuracy. Then we kiss-cut each one to shape, weeded and sheeted them 15 to a page, ready to peel and apply. The result? Easy-to-handle, bubble-free application with a five-year outdoor lifespan ideal for a brewery that isn’t slowing down.
Nothing fancy just sharp execution, built to last, and fast turnaround from proof to delivery. We’ve got Fitzpatrick’s art on file now, so future top-ups will be even quicker.
