Crafted with Precision: Floating Rock's Premium Business Cards
At Colourcraft, we take pride in delivering premium service and exceptional quality in every project we undertake. One of our recent endeavours was working with Floating Rock, a boutique animation studio based in Wellington, Aotearoa, known for its high-quality animated cinematic experiences and slick visual effects.
For their business cards, we were supplied with a design that reflects the studio's creativity and professionalism and were asked to print a set of business cards that would leave a lasting impression.
Once the cards were printed to enhance durability, we applied a scuff-resistant matt lamination on both sides of the cards, providing a soft touch finish and ensuring they would stand up well over time. On one side, we incorporated the Floating Rock logo using a blind spot UV gloss varnish. This technique created a glossy effect that contracts with the matt laminated background.
On the reverse side of the business cards, we applied a hot stamp foiling with blue metallic foil to embellish the founder's name and the floating rock icon. The reflective metallic blue brought a touch of class, adding depth to the design and which contracted against the smooth matt laminated surface of the card.
By combining these premium finishes and attention to detail, we crafted business cards that truly represented the professionalism and quality of Floating Rock Studio.

Clear Branding on the Shelf: Custom ESL Tags for The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign
The team at The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign came to us with a sharp brief: they needed thousands of durable, supermarket-ready ESL tags that would help shoppers spot Kiwi-made products fast. With NZ Made Day on the horison and a major supermarket partnership in play, these tags had to do more than just hang there, they needed to pop off the shelf, survive daily retail handling and represent the trusted NZ Made mark with clarity and pride.
Built for the Front Line of Retail
We screen printed 10,000 double-sided ESL tags on 0.6mm white polypropylene, tough enough to stand up to supermarket conditions without bending or tearing like standard card. Each tag measured 54 x 36mm, printed in Black and Cool Grey 8 on both sides for maximum visibility and brand consistency. Once approved, we die-cut every tag to shape and packed them in neat ziplock bags of 100, ready for use in-store.
Fit for Purpose, Down to the Delivery
These tags were delivered to two supermarket locations, one in Wellington, one in Oamaru, as a pilot to test the impact on shelf visibility. From print durability to pack weight (exactly 84g per 100 units), every detail was dialled in to make sure they held their own in a busy retail environment.

Flawless First Impressions: Event Decals for GNS Science

With just a few days’ notice, they came to us for something clean, professional and easy to hand out. We’d worked with GNS before, so they trusted us to deliver—fast.

Premium Presentation: Tender Documents for Fulton Hogan
When Fulton Hogan needed to submit a high-stakes tender for Wellington Water, they didn’t just want to look good, they needed to stand out. As one of Australasia’s largest infrastructure firms, they understand that great work starts with a great first impression. So when it came time to present their proposal, they trusted us to make it count.
We produced ten high-quality tender documents, each meticulously crafted for clarity, impact and durability. The covers were bound using a wrapped board construction, like a hardcover book but engineered for ease of use with wiro binding. Inside, we used smooth 120gsm Advance Laser stock for the main content and 300gsm Silk Matt for the die-cut tab dividers, ensuring each section was easy to navigate. Everything was printed in vibrant CMYK on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, delivering sharp colour consistency across every page.
To finish, we applied a matt laminate to the outer covers for a clean, confident durable, no glare, no smudge, premium presentation that matched the professionalism of the content inside.
There was no room for compromise here, just smart print choices, sharp execution and a product worthy of the Fulton Hogan name.

Branded to Last: Custom Labels for Springload’s Mountain Gin & Kombucha
When Springload Wellington’s largest independently owned digital agency, needed custom labels for a limited run of house-made gin and kombucha, they came to us. The bottles were part of a thoughtful Christmas gift for their clients and team—something personal, on-brand, and high-quality. The labels had to match that intent: polished, practical, and ready to impress straight out of the fridge.
We ran the job through our Ricoh C9100 to get sharp detail and consistent colour, then printed onto Eurotak Freezer Permanent Solid Back stock, perfect for chilled storage and handling. The strong adhesive meant no lifting at the edges, and the smooth surface gave their design the professional finish it deserved. Each label was trimmed to size and fitted with a 10mm peel tab, slit for easy application, quick, clean and simple to apply.
Even with a small run of 110 labels total, we treated this like any premium project: accurate proofs, fast turnaround and no shortcuts.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: "Our experience at Colourcraft has been amazing from start to finish. Always speedy with email responses and the turnaround was incredibly quick as well!" – Joyce O’Riley, Springload
That kind of feedback’s exactly why we do what we do.
