Built to Travel: Folding Keg Collars for Heyday Beer Co
When Heyday Beer Co needed a smart way to transport their tap badges securely from brewery to bar, we delivered a solution that’s since become an industry staple. Their Cuba Street brewery is known for fresh, small-batch beer and bold branding, so they needed packaging that wasn’t just practical but consistent across repeat orders. Our folding keg collar design ticked every box—strong, dependable and proven to survive cold storage and delivery.
Smart structure, proven reliability
Printed digitally on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board, each keg collar is diecut flat for easy storage and then folded around the tap badge when it’s time to ship. The clever locking design means no staples, no loose badges and no wasted time. This is a proven solution we’ve produced and reprinted for Heyday more than ten times since 2018. That consistency shows the design works and the product does exactly what it’s meant to: protect tap badges in transit.
One idea, many options
The folding keg collar style used by Heyday is just one option we’ve developed in-house. For breweries that don’t need the lock-in structure, we also produce a flat keg collar style—more cost-effective, but with the same durable stock and precision diecutting. Both styles scale easily, giving breweries of any size print that’s fit for purpose, looks sharp and holds up in the real world.

Encouraging Te Reo in Every Zoom Call: Custom Desk Stands for Te Taura Whiri
Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori the Māori Language Commission, came to us with a smart idea during the Zoom boom of 2021: a physical desktop reference to help people use more Te Reo Māori in online meetings. They needed something simple, portable and brand-aligned to support their mission of normalising te reo use in professional settings. We helped bring it to life.
We started by prototyping a fold-flat desk stand with interlocking tabs, no glue, no fuss. After a few iterations, we landed on a sturdy triangle structure that looked sharp and held up over time. Printed on durable 350gsm Silk Matt board in full colour, these stands were diecut to shape, then packed flat and ready for assembly. It’s a clean, effective format that suits everything from hot desks to home offices.
These “Huitīma” and “Huitopa” stands became popular fast. The first 500 were a giveaway and they disappeared almost overnight. Because Te Taura Whiri doesn’t sell its resources, they added a simple note to their website: if your organisation wants printed sets, contact Colourcraft. That small line has brought in steady reprint orders from councils, schools, and government departments across Aotearoa. We keep hundreds in stock, so when the next request lands, we’re ready.
Here is what the team at Te Taura Whiri had to say in a 5-star google review after a few years of working with us:
“Ka pai ngā mahi a Colourcraft. We appreciate how responsive and timely they are as often we have urgent work required… We'll continue to use Colourcraft as they have provided printing solutions for a range of resources we produce without fuss.” – Kiriana Eparaima-Hautapu, Te Taura Whiri

Fueling Growth: Premium Booklets for Sportsfuel’s Quarterly Digest
Sportsfuel Supplements one of New Zealand’s leading online supplement stores—came to us with a clear mission: to create a high-quality, professionally printed booklet that would inform and inspire their customer base. They wanted a quarterly digest that reflected their values—trusted advice, premium products, and next-level service.
We kicked things off with a full mockup proof. It gave the Sportsfuel team a tangible feel for the final product and ensured every detail was locked before going to full production. Once approved, we printed 1,000 copies on Advance Laser 120gsm offset stock—a smart, quality paper that’s perfect for saddle-stitched booklets and delivers sharp text with crisp, clean colour.
Using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 (with inline IQ-501 colour control), we guaranteed flawless colour consistency from cover to cover. Each booklet was saddle-stapled, trimmed to size, and delivered on time—ready to ship out with Sportsfuel’s online orders.
A year later, Sportsfuel has printed three more editions, adjusted the magazine’s size to better fit their packaging, and is now exploring a 5x increase in volume. That’s real traction.
