Bringing Te Reo Māori to Life: Printed Paylite Panels for the Māori Language Commission
At Colourcraft, we were privileged to work with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, the Māori Language Commission to produce a series of A2 and A3 Paylite panels for their office. Using graphics provided by the client, we created 14 high-quality panels in sizes ranging from A3 to A2.
Each panel was printed in full colour on premium Avery Dennison vinyl, ensuring rich, vibrant tones. The prints were mounted on 6mm thick Paylite and finished with a matt lamination, sealing the graphics and enhancing durability. This finishing touch creates a refined, non-reflective surface, ideal for high-traffic areas.
To achieve these vibrant and long-lasting results, we used our Roland XR-640 printer, known for its exceptional print quality. Equipped with eco-solvent ink technology, the XR-640 produces vivid, resilient prints that are water, wear, and UV-resistant – the perfect solution for durable and eye-catching displays like those created for Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.
If your business requires durable, vibrant Paylite panels for office displays, promotional materials, or trade-show signage, we’d be delighted to help bring your vision to life. At Colourcraft, we pride ourselves on delivering premium results tailored to your needs. Contact us today for a quote, and let’s create something together.

Built tough: heavy-duty decals for Dynaflow and Enzed
At Colourcraft, we specialise in producing high-performance print work that goes the distance. Dynaflow, a trusted name in hydraulic engineering and an authorised distributor for ENZED, approached us to create a set of durable decals suitable for use in some of New Zealand’s toughest workshop environments.
Designed for long-lasting performance in rugged conditions, we printed these decals using our Roland XR-640 wide format printer, renowned for its crisp detail, bold colours, and exceptional durability. Each decal was printed onto Avery Dennison MPI 2904 self-adhesive vinyl, then laminated with a gloss Avery Dennison DOL 2000 film to protect against UV, moisture, and abrasion. The decals were kiss cut to shape for easy application in the field.
Used across machinery and workspaces serviced by ENZED Hose Doctors, these decals combine practical durability with a professional finish—helping Dynaflow present a polished brand in even the harshest conditions.
We’re proud to support New Zealand businesses like Dynaflow with print solutions that are as tough and reliable as they are. Quality and attention to detail—every time.

Made to Last: Durable Directional Signage for Fix & Fogg’s Wellington Site
When Fix & Fogg makers of some of the best nut butter on the planet—needed clear, functional signage for their Wellington production site, they came to us. The brief? Durable, easy-to-read signs that could withstand the elements while guiding delivery drivers, customers and visitors around their busy factory space.
We printed two outdoor panels showing delivery/pickup locations and warehouse opening hours. These weren’t about flashy branding—they were about clear communication, hard-wearing materials, and signage that stays legible and professional, no matter the weather.
We printed on our Roland XR-640, using eco-solvent inks known for their resistance to fading, scratches, and moisture. For the vinyl, we went with Avery Dennison MPI 2904, paired with DOL 2100 matt laminate to lock in colour and protect from UV and abrasion. The graphics were then mounted to 4mm ACM panels and fully edge-wrapped—meaning the graphics continue around the sides for a cleaner, more polished appearance.
Here’s the kicker: these photos were taken five months after install. The signs still look as good as the day they left our shop—a solid reminder that quality materials and solid print work matter.
Testimonial from Shenae at Fix & Fogg:
"The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks Team!"

Tiny but Mighty: Custom Envelopes for Hot Sauce at QT Wellington
Hot Sauce isn’t your average bar, it’s a bold, high-energy eatery inside the QT Wellington, known for its punchy fusion menu and moody, high-design interior. So when the team needed custom mini envelopes that matched their brand’s sharp attention to detail, they came to us. We’ve worked with QT Wellington for nearly 20 years and they trusted us to pull off a tricky brief.
The challenge? These envelopes were tiny, just 97 x 60mm and most printers would have said no. That size is too small to run through standard digital presses. But we don’t walk away from a technical challenge. We printed the artwork in full colour on flat 120gsm stock, then worked with our finishing supplier to die-cut, glue and fold them into envelopes, complete with a tropical seal glue strip on the closing flap. The result? Immaculately finished envelopes, bang on brand, with a functional seal and premium feel.
These little guys were proof that small doesn’t mean simple, but with the right process, it doesn’t have to be hard either. We can create custom envelopes like this at just about any size.
This one came straight from the team at QT Wellington:
“The Colourcraft team are seamless in their work and response time and their craftsmanship is second to none. I cannot recommend their work and this company high enough.” – Gordon Douglas, QT Wellington

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.
