Eye-Catching & Easy to Use: Table Talkers for Parrotdog
Parrotdog Wellington’s own legendary craft brewery—came to us with a sharp idea. They needed vibrant, branded table talkers their Sales Reps could hand out to bars and restaurants stocking their beer. Simple. Standout. On-brand. These needed to be easy to distribute, easy to assemble, and hard to miss once set up on a table.
We took the brief and hopped it up.
Each piece was printed in full colour on 350gsm Silk Matt—an ultra-smooth, high-white stock with a professional feel. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 to nail perfect colour consistency across the full run, so every talker looked just like the next—vibrant, precise and sharp.
To finish the job, we used the JWEI 6040—a precision digital cutter that handled the complex creases and custom edge work like a pro. It gave us precise creases and cleanly cut bevel flaps. No waste, no mess. Just clean, production-line quality from a machine built for short-run custom work.
Then double-sided tape was applied—ready for flat packing and easy on-site assembly. Simple for the reps, polished and professional for the venues, and built to carry the Parrotdog brand with pride.
The result? A practical, eye-catching display piece that feels as good as their beer tastes.

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

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.

Built to Last: High-Quality Workbooks for Wellington City Council’s Te Piere o te Reo (2024 Edition)
In 2024, the Wellington City Council came to us with a clear brief: produce a high-quality workbook for Te Piere o te Reo, a week-long event celebrating fluent te reo Māori speakers. They needed something that looked polished, felt great to use, and would hold up.
They originally considered embossing for the cover, but we suggested a smarter, more cost-effective option—spot UV gloss over a scuff-resistant matt laminate on 350gsm satin stock. The result was striking, durable, and a big hit with event attendees.
Inside, each 114-page workbook was printed in full colour on 100gsm offset stock, and wiro bound along the left edge for durability and ease of use. We used our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, which gave us flawless colour consistency and perfect alignment across the run—every page sharp, every colour on point.
Here’s what the team at Wellington City Council had to say:
“Beautiful product. The team were a pleasure to work with—so professional and produced a high-quality product. What I loved the most was the advice on how to improve the product before printing. The small details mattered—THANK YOU!”
— Keli-Ann Wilson, Wellington City Council
One year later, we’ve just wrapped the 2025 edition—and we’re proud to still be trusted to deliver.

Gold Standard Finish: Graduation Certificates for Workhub Services
Workhub Services delivers real-world transformation through their Whakamana Programme—a no-cost, eight-week course helping New Zealanders gain purpose, confidence and a pathway to employment. To celebrate each graduate’s journey, they came to us for something that felt meaningful: a Certificate of Graduation with a premium finish. Their designer had worked with us before, so even from outside Wellington, they trusted us to get the details right.
These A4 certificates were printed full colour on 300gsm Munken Pure Cream, an uncoated, tactile stock that feels every bit as refined as it looks. The highlight? A hot stamped gold foil seal applied with precision at the base of each certificate. It’s a subtle feature, but one that lifts the design and gives it a sense of formality and care.
Printed on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, we ensured crisp alignment and sharp colour throughout. The end result was clean, considered and built to reflect the professionalism of the programme and its graduates.
