Precision Print, Seamless Finish: Folded Invites for Arise Church’s National Women’s Conference
For over a decade, Arise Church has trusted us to bring their bold, faith-fuelled events to life in print. When it came time to produce the folded invites for their 2022 Passionate Women’s Conference, an event drawing nearly 2,000 women to Wellington, they knew exactly who to call. The design featured a full-bleed image that needed to align perfectly across a custom diecut fold with no room for error.
We printed 3,000 invites using our Ricoh C9100 for sharp colour and pinpoint alignment, followed by custom diecutting. The stock? A reliable 300gsm offset, smooth, durable, and ready to handle full CMYK colour coverage. Once diecut and folded, the final result landed exactly as intended: seamless, crisp edges, with a premium impact that matched the care and intention behind the conference itself.
The first order went fast, and we were called on again two weeks later to reprint another 2,000 units ahead of demand.

Premium Client Gift: Custom Playing Cards and Branded Packaging for Springload
Wellington-based digital agency Springload came to us with a bold idea: create a high-end custom gift that would showcase their creativity and leave a lasting impression on clients and partners. The solution? A full, bespoke deck of playing cards — every face uniquely designed, fully branded and packaged in an understated but premium black-on-black carton. The goal was to match the sophistication of their design work with a physical product that delivered the same attention to detail.
Built for quality, finished for impact
We printed 200 decks on a thick 300gsm silk matt stock, laminated both sides for a soft-touch finish and built-in scuff resistance — ideal for a product designed to be handled. Then each card was die-cut to a rounded-corner rectangle. For the packaging, we designed a custom two-piece carton structure using 320gsm Popset Black — a rich, uncoated stock that holds shape beautifully. The lid was screen printed in clear spot UV varnish to deliver an elegant black-on-black finish, subtle until the light catches it.
Practical guidance upfront
During quoting, we helped Springload explore a range of options — including various order volumes and packaging formats — to make sure the final outcome balanced impact and budget Including a more cost-effective tuck-in carton option

Printing Debossed Menu Stock for Kisa Restaurant
When the team behind Kisa opened their Middle Eastern-inspired restaurant on Cuba Street, they needed menus that matched the premium dining experience. Having worked with us before, they trusted us to deliver something that felt refined, sustainable and flexible enough for the fast-moving hospitality industry.
We produced a large run of custom menu stock on 250gsm Eco-100 recycled paper, offset-printed in Pantone 458 — a warm Pantone chosen by their designer to align with Kisa’s branding. Each sheet was then deeply debossed using precision-machined metal blocks, creating a tactile finish that diners can feel the moment they pick up the menu.
Debossing at this scale is usually impractical for restaurants that update menus often. To solve this, we split the process: one bulk run (20,000 sheets) of premium debossed stock to keep costs low and weekly digital overprinting on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress to keep Kisa’s evolving menu current. The result — premium craftsmanship paired with real-world efficiency.
This approach gives Kisa the best of both worlds: the elegance of a premium finish and the flexibility to adapt quickly without waste. It’s smart print strategy in action.

Reliable, Brand-Ready Tags: Custom Growler Labels for Ground Up Brewing
When you’re an award-winning brewery in Wanaka with 22 taps and a cult following, your brand collateral needs to work just as hard as you do. Ground Up Brewing came to us needing robust, good-looking growler hang tags that could handle the cold and still hold their shape. These tags are more than labels, they help drive takeaway sales, keep things compliant and make the brand look tight across every product leaving the taproom.
We print these on Formakote Natura 300gsm, a food-grade carton board that holds up in chillers and fridges without curling or going soggy. Each run includes three variations, digitally printed in crisp CMYK on the front, with black on the reverse. The tags are die-cut to a proven shape using a standing die we’ve refined over time with breweries across the country. In short: no guesswork, no delay, just tags that work and look sharp.
Thanks to our Konica Minolta AccurioPress and JWEI digital die-cutter, we keep this job fast and consistent — every time. We've run this order five times now, and since their first job in 2021, Ground Up have come back to us over 30 times for everything from keg collars to tap decals.
When quality matters and timing can't slip, they trust us to deliver—and we do.

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.
