Premium Client Comms: Custom Wiro-Bound Notebooks for Grochem via Phillips & Partners
When Wellington-based comms agency Phillips & Partners needed a high-quality printed piece for their client Grochem, they came straight to us. Known for managing social and strategic messaging for NZ businesses, the team at Phillips & Partners were after something tangible, an A4, custom-designed notebook that would celebrate Grochem’s work and leave a lasting impression with clients and stakeholders. With over 250 pages, this wasn’t just a throwaway promo item, it was designed to leave a mark.
We worked closely with Phillips & Partners to bring the concept to life, producing 200 copies of the 258-page notebook. Each was bound with heavy-duty white wiro for durability, and featured full-colour marketing inserts printed on 240gsm Advance Laser stock. The internal pages, printed crisp and clean in black on 120gsm Advance Laser, perfect for writing and longevity. Covers were printed double-sided on 400gsm Silk Matt, finished with a premium matt laminate to protect the books through heavy use.
Wiro-binding something this thick isn’t easy, but with heavy 2:1 gauge wire, we made it work without compromising quality. These notebooks weren’t just printed, they were engineered for daily use in the real world.
Another 5-star review we’re proud to share:
“Colourcraft are incredibly responsive, have fast turn around times, are competitively priced and always offer fantastic solutions and advice. Can highly recommend you try these guys out to see the difference.” – Heather Phillips, Director, Phillips & Partners
When it’s got to look sharp and hold up to real-world use, we’re your people.
Let’s quote your next project—no strings attached.

At Colourcraft, we’ve been proud to partner with Garage Project since 2016, producing thousands of custom-printed tap badges that are as bold and distinctive as the beers they represent.
Known for their constant innovation and visually striking art, Garage Project trusts us to bring their ever-evolving beer lineup to life at the tap. Each badge is printed using high-quality eco-solvent inks onto Orajet 3162XRA removable vinyl — a satin-finish stock that applies smoothly and removes cleanly, with no sticky residue. We then kiss-cut each badge to shape, ready for dispatch with keg orders to bars across New Zealand and beyond.

Built to Last: Outdoor Decals for Emporio Coffee
Emporio Coffee a much-loved Wellington roastery known for fuelling good people doing good stuff, asked for our help bring their new café clients signage to life. The challenge? Create a set of decals bold enough to grab attention—and tough enough to survive Wellington’s wild south coast.
Emporio needed durability, so we produced weather-resistant decals printed onto premium self-adhesive vinyl and over-laminated for added protection against UV, salt spray, and wear. Each decal was kiss-cut into a clean 330mm circle, perfectly sized for their custom powder-coated steel signs.
Printed using our Roland XR-640, the decals feature vibrant graphics that won’t fade or peel—no matter the conditions. The combination of eco-solvent inks and Avery Dennison 2904 vinyl, finished with a gloss DOL 2000 laminate, ensures exceptional resilience while maintaining colour brilliance.
These signs were distributed to Emporio’s café clients across Aotearoa—letting coffee lovers know they’re in good hands. We’re proud to support a Wellington brand that, like us, believes in quality, craft, and doing things properly.
At Colourcraft, we deliver print that performs—on the street, across the country, and in the elements.

Premium Design, Premium Finish: Promotional Booklet Printing for JCDC
When Palmerston North design studio JCDC needed a print partner for a truly standout project, they came to us—not because we were local, but because quality was non-negotiable. Founder Jemma Cheer was producing a luxe promotional booklet for her client, Emma Brown Design, and every detail had to land. From materials to finish, this job was about making the right impression.
We printed the internal pages using our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070 for sharp colour and precise alignment, ideal for brand-led work like this. The pages were printed on 150gsm Silk Matt stock for a smooth, professional feel. For the cover, we used a 300gsm Black Notturno, chosen for its rich, tactile finish and applied gold foil detailing (handled beautifully by Windmill Press) to elevate the entire piece. The final booklets were creased, folded, and sail stitched with pink thread by Andrew from Bookbinding Etc, giving a distinctive hand-crafted edge.
This was a true collaboration between top-tier creatives. From concept to delivery, every partner brought their A-Game Jemma on design, Windmill on foil, Andrew on bind and we made sure the print held it all together.
Here’s what the client had to say in their Google review: "Wonderful service and premium quality. No task is too big, small or tricky for these guys... super smart service... always my first suggestion if anyone asks." – Jemma Cheer
