Premium Impressions: Custom Key Cartons for Faisandier Group
Faisandier Group is a Lower Hutt-based property developer known for building high-quality townhouses across the Hutt Valley. They've been with us since day one—literally. When the company launched in 2016, they knew who to call for print. So when the team came to us with a packaging problem, we listened. They were handing over keys to new homeowners (often first-time buyers) in cheap, generic plastic boxes. It didn’t reflect the care and quality they put into their homes. They needed something better. Something worthy of the moment.
We designed and produced a bespoke two-piece key carton crafted specifically for Faisandier’s handover experience. Each box is built from thick, 320gsm Popset Black card, screenprinted with a subtle spot UV varnish that delivers a black-on-black branding effect, understated but premium. The cartons are diecut to final shape, supplied flat and unassembled, giving Faisandier flexibility for storage and use. It's a small format (85 x 65 x 30mm), but it hits hard on presentation.
Once we delivered, Simon left us a google review that says it better than we ever could:
“The finest printer in all the land! I've been working with Colourcraft for years and they've never let me down. Conversely, I have let them down many times with ridiculous requests due to my lack of planning and preparation and they have never complained or cut me loose, amazing really.
When all those other printers get wobbly legs and start dropping out of the race, crying out for water and complaining that their legs are sore... Colourcraft are gliding majestically out in front, effortlessly, unmercifully crushing their competition with the greatest service a customer could ever hope for.
Their expert advice and guidance has steered me in the right direction when my hair-brained ideas could have ended in absolute disaster. They know their stuff. I'm stirred to write a poem about how much I appreciate Colourcraft but I think this review will lose all credibility if I do, so I shall refrain. I'd give them 6 stars if Google would let me. Colourcraft is Wellington’s printer of choice.”

Document Folders with Premium Finishes: Faisandier Group
The Faisandier Group is a family-run property developer based in Lower Hutt, delivering premium townhouses that set a new benchmark for quality living across the Wellington region. With a reputation for craftsmanship and detail, they came to us for presentation folders that carried the same premium feel as their developments, polished, modern and built to last.
We produced custom printed document folders on heavyweight 320gsm Popset Black stock. To elevate the finish, we applied a blind spot UV gloss varnish over the Faisandier logo and brand icon, creating a striking contrast against the matte background. Each folder was precision diecut to size and supplied flat, complete with business card slits for easy use. The result: a piece of print that feels as considered and enduring as their homes.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review—part of the most entertaining one we’ve ever earned:

Trusted, Repeatable, Taproom-Ready: Custom Vinyl Tap Badges for Brave Brewing Co.
Since 2018, we’ve partnered with Brave Brewing Co. a standout Hawke’s Bay craft brewery known for flavour-forward beers and a strong local following. They needed a print partner who could consistently produce high-quality vinyl tap badges, with precision, speed and colour accuracy — every time.
So far, we’ve delivered on 27 separate orders, producing thousands of custom tap badges for over 50 different beers. From seasonal one-offs to award-winning flagships, these badges are a core part of Brave’s bar presentation. We’re proud to have become a trusted extension of their production process.
Each badge is printed on translucent vinyl, purpose-built for backlit bar hardware. This matters, many breweries use opaque vinyl that kills the glow. Our process allows the tap badge to light up on the tap, without washing out the artwork. We dial in the colour balance to ensure it looks just as good backlit as it does in ambient light.
We print using our Roland XR-640, a high-resolution, eco-solvent machine perfect for vibrant, consistent output. Once printed, each badge is kiss-cut to 73mm, weeded and supplied in sheets of 12 ready to go.
The process is tight. Print-ready files, fast proofing, consistent finishing and seamless delivery. Every time.

Reusable and Ready to Go: Free-Standing Display Panels for Fix & Fogg
Fix & Fogg, Fix & Fogg, the Wellington-based legends behind some of the world’s best nut butters, approached us with a clear brief: they needed eye-catching, portable display panels that could hold their own at food shows—and be reused across multiple events. These displays had to be easy to store, tough enough to handle transport, and most importantly, stand up.
We delivered exactly that. Using our Roland XR-640 printer, we produced vibrant, full-colour prints on Avery Dennison MPI 2904 gloss permanent vinyl. That vinyl was then mounted to 3mm Paylite panels—lightweight, durable, and clean-edged—before being precision trimmed and fitted with a fold-out strut on the reverse. The result? A crisp, freestanding panel that flat-packs for storage, stands solid on-site, and turns heads wherever it’s placed.
Over the past six months, we’ve worked closely with the Fix & Fogg team to create more than 10 different variations of these panels—ranging from menus and price lists to promotional messaging and event signage. It’s a simple, low-cost format that punches well above its weight.
Here’s what Shenae from Fix & Fogg had to say:
“The Colourcraft team are amazing. Their work is second to none and we always have a quick turnaround. Thanks Team!”

Durable and Vibrant: Gen Reo Campaign Posters by Colourcraft
At Colourcraft, we pride ourselves on delivering premium printing solutions that leave a lasting impression. When Ata, a local social media agency, approached us to support the launch of their Gen Reo campaign, we were proud to contribute to this important kaupapa.
The Gen Reo campaign seeks to revitalise te reo Māori and inspire a new generation of speakers. For this campaign, Ata required 20 large-format, durable A0 posters (841 x 1189mm) that could withstand frequent handling while showcasing vibrant, eye-catching message.
Using our Roland XR-640 printer, we produced the posters on 200gsm satin matte paper, chosen for its affordability and premium finish. To ensure longevity and vivid colour reproduction, we used eco-solvent inks that are scratch-resistant and highly durable. The result was a series of striking, full-colour posters that conveyed a wide range of messages reflecting the campaign's core themes.
Across the set of 20 posters, the designs addressed significant topics central to the kaupapa of revitalising te reo Māori.
At Colourcraft, we are honoured to have played a small part in the Gen Reo campaign and to support Ata in their mission to ensure te reo Māori thrives for future generations. By combining technology with our dedication to quality, we created materials that make a lasting impact while ensuring every message stands out with durability and vibrancy.
