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

Premium Student Work, Done Right: Aimee’s Typographic Specimen Booklet
Aimee a typography student came to us with a clear brief and a beautifully designed type specimen project part of her final hand-in for Massey University. She’d heard from her tutor that we were the go-to team for high-quality student work. And she wasn’t wrong. From the moment we saw her files, we knew this wasn’t a job for cheap paper and basic finishing.
To do the design justice, we printed her covers in solid white ink onto rich, velvety 300gsm Notturno Black card — a premium Italian board chosen for its depth of colour and texture. Inside, we used a mix of 128gsm Silk Matt (for colour accuracy), pearlescent, and transparent sheets to give contrast and rhythm across the 84 internal pages. Every section was imposed and supplied as flat, nested sets — ready for hand binding with exposed Coptic stitching by the talented Susan at Peacock Bindery.
The result? A piece that feels more like an art book than a student project. It’s tactile, layered and shows off Aimee’s type work with the clarity and presence it deserves.
Printing high-end student projects like this is something we genuinely enjoy and take just as seriously as any commercial job.

Dual Branding, One Print Run: Custom Beer Coasters for Sprig + Fern Taverns
When Sprig + Fern needed a practical way to promote both of their Wellington taverns, Tawa and Thorndon, they came to us for a smart print solution. As a proudly independent Kiwi craft beer brand with strong local followings, they wanted coasters that reflected their identity and worked across two locations. Operator Colin Mallon had trusted us before in a previous role, so he knew we’d get the details right.
Designed for Durability and Flexibility
We printed 5,000 custom beer coasters using a 350gsm Advance Laser board—thick enough to handle busy tavern use without curling or bleeding. Each coaster featured the Tawa logo on one side and the Thorndon logo on the other, digitally printed in solid black for sharp, consistent branding. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to ensure precise alignment and crisp detail, even at volume. Final step: clean die-cutting into 100mm circles that feel solid in the hand and sit flat on every table.
Simple Reorders, Always Ready
We’ve stored Sprig + Fern’s artwork and production settings on file, meaning reorders are fast, simple and exactly to spec, just how busy hospitality teams like it.

Bold and Durable: Havana Coffee Works Celebrates 35 Years with Custom Posters
At Colourcraft, we take pride in creating premium printed products that capture the essence of our client’s vision. When Wellington coffee legends Havana Coffee Works celebrated their remarkable milestone of 35 years, they entrusted us to produce a collection of custom posters to celebrate the event.
Known for their unapologetically bold coffee and vibrant branding, Havana designed a custom ‘Cheers to 35 Years’ artwork to mark this special occasion. Our task was to bring their vision to life, producing 50 posters in a range of sizes: A3, A2, A1, and A0.
We used durable, eco-solvent inks printed onto scratch and tear-resistant synthetic stock to ensure these posters could withstand high-traffic café environments. This choice of materials resulted in vivid, lightfast posters that are as resilient as they are striking.
The printing was carried out on our Roland XR-640, a machine renowned for its eco-solvent ink technology. This equipment ensures high-impact visuals while providing exceptional resistance to wear, water, and UV exposure. The result? Posters that retain their vibrancy and quality, even in the most demanding conditions.
We are proud to have played a part in celebrating 35 years of Havana Coffee Works—a brand synonymous with bold Wellington coffee culture. These posters are a very small testament to the spirit of Havana: vibrant, enduring, and unapologetically bold.
