Innovative Packaging Design: Helping the Buy New Zealand Made Campaign Make an Impact
We love working with clients who have a passion for making an impact, and the Buy New Zealand Made Campaign is no exception. When they approached us in 2022 with a unique problem, we were happy to take on the challenge.
Their goal was simple: to make a lasting impression on new businesses joining the campaign. Instead of just sending out a certificate (which we also print) in an envelope, they wanted something special, something that would showcase the certificate and other New Zealand-made goodies in a durable and attractive way.
We got to work and designed a custom carton that could withstand the rigours of the courier network. Which used a sturdy 1.5mm thick white e-flute board and included an insert to hold the certificate frame securely in place. We also created a cavity below the frame to hold other promotional items, making the carton a perfect showcase for all things New Zealand-made.
Then we designed a certificate frame that was made entirely from unprinted card, precisely sized to hold the certificate without any glue. The frame was cut from premium 350gsm white carton board, and we included a hole on the back for easy hanging on the wall. To add an extra touch of elegance, we created a silver foiled self-adhesive label to brand the carton and seal it closed during transit.
The Buy New Zealand Made Campaign was thrilled with the concept, and we produced the first 200 units in October 2022. We're proud to have been a part of this project and to have helped the campaign make a lasting impact on businesses joining the campaign.

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.

Vibrant and Durable Wedding Panels
At Colourcraft, we’re honoured to play a small part in our clients’ big days. Earlier this year, Alice and Ruvin trusted us to print their wedding invitations, and as their special day approached, we were delighted to see them return. This time, they needed two display panels: a welcoming board to greet guests and a seating chart to guide them.
We turned to our reliable Roland XR-640 printer known for its excellent colour accuracy and durability, it produces prints that are resistant to scratches, fading, and water—ensuring the panels remained flawless throughout the celebration.
The graphics supplied by Alice and Ruvin were printed in vibrant full colour on quality white gloss permanent vinyl then were mounted onto 3mm thick Paylite board and trimmed them to size.
During the wedding season, we’re fortunate to produce wedding panels for couples nearly every week. With a streamlined process and commitment to quality, we do our very best to ensure every couple receives beautiful, durable printed panels to support their wedding day.

Precision in Every Fold: Branded Packaging Sleeves for Follo
Follo is a Wellington-based tech company creating premium GPS trackers designed specifically for e-bikes and scooters. With full custom packaging still in development, they needed a fast, reliable interim solution: branded packaging sleeves that looked sharp enough for retail, but didn’t blow the budget.
They came to us with final artwork and a short timeline. The sleeves had to slide perfectly over a small box, include a hang tab for retail displays, and feel premium in hand—without overcomplicating the production. We worked through multiple refinements to the fit, colour, and layout, and provided a fully finished prototype for sign-off before going to print.
We ran the job on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its high-res output and flawless colour accuracy. These were printed CMYK 2 sides on 300gsm Crescendo Double-Sided Board, giving a strong, smooth surface with beautiful colour clarity. We applied matt laminate on both sides for a soft-touch, scuff-resistant finish and added crease lines, a bevelled flap, and double-sided tape for flat-pack shipping and easy assembly.
Precision-cut and hang-tab ready, every sleeve was crafted to fit like a glove and deliver Follo’s premium brand promise — without delay, without compromise.

Gold Standard Finish: Custom Foil-Stamped Cards for Ombra
When Ombra refreshed their branding, they needed print that matched their space: polished, premium, and built with care. As one of Wellington’s most beloved Italian spots, Ombra’s attention to detail is baked into everything from their seasonal cicchetti to their copper-piped fitout. Their team knew their print collateral had to live up to that standard. So when it came time to produce their new business cards and gift vouchers, they came straight to us.
Premium Stocks, Flawless Foil, No Compromises
Both the business cards and gift vouchers were printed on Rives Tradition Bright White 320gsm, a tactile, premium stock that holds ink beautifully and feels as refined as the restaurant it represents. Each piece was printed with two spot colours (Black and Cool Grey 6), followed by precision-aligned gold foil on the logo. The gift vouchers also featured individually numbered backs for traceability. Because the foil alignment had to be perfect to the fraction of a millimetre to align correctly with the logo, we offset-printed the colour layers first, then foil-stamped each piece to ensure total accuracy.
For Brands Where Every Detail Matters
This wasn’t just another print job. It was about precision—matching the brand, the materials, and the quality. We handled everything from proofs to foil alignment, sweating the small stuff so Ombra’s team didn’t have to.
