Built to Travel: Folding Keg Collars for Heyday Beer Co
When Heyday Beer Co needed a smart way to transport their tap badges securely from brewery to bar, we delivered a solution that’s since become an industry staple. Their Cuba Street brewery is known for fresh, small-batch beer and bold branding, so they needed packaging that wasn’t just practical but consistent across repeat orders. Our folding keg collar design ticked every box—strong, dependable and proven to survive cold storage and delivery.
Smart structure, proven reliability
Printed digitally on sturdy 284gsm Formakote Natura board, each keg collar is diecut flat for easy storage and then folded around the tap badge when it’s time to ship. The clever locking design means no staples, no loose badges and no wasted time. This is a proven solution we’ve produced and reprinted for Heyday more than ten times since 2018. That consistency shows the design works and the product does exactly what it’s meant to: protect tap badges in transit.
One idea, many options
The folding keg collar style used by Heyday is just one option we’ve developed in-house. For breweries that don’t need the lock-in structure, we also produce a flat keg collar style—more cost-effective, but with the same durable stock and precision diecutting. Both styles scale easily, giving breweries of any size print that’s fit for purpose, looks sharp and holds up in the real world.

Beer. Poetry. Branding: Coasters That Carried the Message for 8 Wired
When one of New Zealand’s most acclaimed craft breweries launches a campaign that invites customers to write beer-inspired haiku, the print has to be as clever as the concept. 8 Wired Brewing came to us looking for high-quality, low-cost branded coasters to support their “Brew Haiku” promotion. They needed something sturdy, good-looking, and fast. We delivered.
To keep things sharp and economical, we digitally printed 2,000 customised coasters using a durable 350gsm stock—ideal for absorbing the odd spill while still showing off full-colour artwork. Each coaster was printed double-sided in CMYK, then diecut to a clean 100mm circle to fit the standard beer glass footprint. We also tweaked the supplied artwork to work within the dieline, and sent a full mockup for sign-off before the presses rolled.
Turnaround was tight, but we nailed the timing. The job went from file to final delivery in a matter of days, giving 8 Wired everything they needed to kick off the campaign without a hitch. Print that looks good and gets there on time? That’s what we’re about.
“Wonderful to deal with such a professional team. We had a tight timeline, so Ben and the team made sure we received the product in time. Thanks Team!”
– Monique Eriksen, 8 Wired Brewing

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.

Craft Backing Craft: Bold Tap Badges for Hallertau Brewery
We’ve been working with Hallertau Brewery since 2016, printing tap badges for over 70 separate orders and a wide range of beers brewed right beside their iconic Auckland taproom.
Located in Riverhead, Hallertau isn’t just a brewery, it’s a full-blown experience. Their wood-fired kitchen, lush biergarten and ever-evolving beer list are matched by one thing: bold, confident design.
That’s where we come in.
We print their 73mm circular tap badges using a removable vinyl + Latex print setup designed to stick when needed, but peel clean when the keg empties. It’s a perfect match for venues like Hallertau, where the beer lines are always moving.
Their design style is strong, rich colours, sharp contrast, and high-impact graphics that pop behind the bar. Our HP Latex 365 setup gives us the sharpness and vibrancy to do their artwork justice, without compromising turnaround or practicality.
With Hallertau, it’s not about one job, it’s about consistency over years. Every order is another chapter in a long-term collaboration between brewers and printers who care about the craft.
