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.

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.

Bold First Impressions: Gold Foil Business Cards for Emporio Coffee
Wellington coffee legends Emporio Coffee have been hand-roasting beans and setting the standard in coffee culture since 2000. With a reputation built on integrity, sustainability and serious flavour. They came to us wanting something clean, sharp and undeniably premium to reflect the quality they pour into every cup.
We printed their cards on a smooth, 350gsm Pure White Knight stock, firm in hand and built to last. CMYK print on both sides gave them full flexibility with layout and design, while the real hero of this job was the gold foil. We applied Emporio’s logo using traditional hot stamp foil, a process that uses heat and pressure to press metallic gold directly into the card surface. It gives the branding real shine, a bit of texture and a tactile finish.
This isn’t just a nice-looking card, it’s a reflection of the values behind the brand: attention to detail, commitment to quality and a lasting impression that goes well beyond first contact.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: “Colourcraft are very accommodating and always makes time to discuss our projects, create solutions and produce very high quality products. I would highly them.” – Simon Maguire, Emporio Coffee

Print Craftsmanship: Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori's Statement of Performance Expectations
At Colourcraft, we take immense pride in providing premium printing services with the attention to detail our clients deserve. In 2021 (and again in 2022), working closely with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, the Māori Language Commission, we printed their Statement of Performance Expectations report.
This vital document sets out the goals and expectations of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori. As an organisation dedicated to promoting te Reo as a vibrant and evolving language, the commission entrusted us with the task of printing a visually stunning and durable printed copy of this significant report.
To create an engaging cover, we printed on a 300gsm Advance Laser stock and to enhance both the finish and durability, we applied a matt lamination to the cover creating a scuff-resistant soft-touch finish. Then we applied a spot gloss UV varnish, which created a glossy effect on elements of the covers graphics, adding depth and contrast to its design.
Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori's Statement of Performance Expectations is a testament to our commitment to delivering exceptional printing solutions that truly showcase the importance and impact of our clients' work. At Colourcraft, we hold our craftsmanship and attention to detail in high regard, and it is an absolute honour to have played a small part in this project, supporting Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori in their mission to strengthen New Zealand's national identity through the promotion and use of te Reo Māori.

Bold Branding Meets Functionality: Custom Coasters for Puffin Wine Bar
When Puffin a boutique wine bar tucked beneath The Intrepid Hotel in Wellington—reached out, they were looking for custom drink coasters that would match their refined vibe and serve a practical purpose behind the bar. Originally after 1000, they saw the value and scaled up to 3000 units, maximising their brand exposure with a lower per-unit cost.
We printed the coasters on 275gsm Drink Coaster Board—a stiff, absorbent, uncoated stock made specifically for bars and venues. Puffin’s bold branding took centre stage on the front, while the back featured ruled lines—ideal for jotting down notes, whether by the staff or their patrons. It’s a smart touch for a wine bar known for thoughtful service and attention to detail.
Print was handled on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, with automated quality control and built-in colour calibration. The result? Pin-sharp imagery and flawless consistency across all 3000 coasters. Each one was precisely diecut into a 93mm circle using our digital die-cutting machine—no cutting dies required, and no compromise on shape accuracy.
The client loved the final product and followed up almost immediately with an order for branded postcards. Here’s what they had to say:
“Always happy with the work these guys do! They make any project we’ve had for Puffin easy to complete, the colours and quality are perfect and whatever the project is they’ll make it work. Turnaround times are great and friendly comms. Can’t recommend enough! Get in touch with them.” — Hannah Wells
