Precision Under Pressure: Custom Card Decks & Presentation Cartons for Datacom’s Datapay Event
When Datacom came to us ahead of a high-profile Datapay event, they needed something more memorable than a brochure, something tactile, premium and engaging. The ask: 50 full sets of custom-designed signal cards (35 per set), plus sleek, branded cartons to house each deck. Oh, and they needed it all in just over a week.
Tight timelines and complex finishing? We were in our element.
We prepped the card artwork for digital print on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, chosen for its outstanding colour fidelity and precise registration. Each card was printed double-sided in CMYK on 300gsm satin stock, finished with a matt laminate for durability and a refined, scuff-resistant texture. We digitally die-cut each one to 63 x 89mm with 4mm rounded corners — spot on, every time.
For the cartons, we used 320gsm Burano Nero Black — an uncoated, deep-black board known for its rich tone and consistency. The lids were screen printed in spot UV gloss varnish to highlight the Datapay brand with impact and precision. Each carton was assembled, packed with its custom card set, and delivered in full by the client’s deadline.
Once again, we delivered premium results under pressure, with no compromises.
Serious about quality? So are we. Every detail matters—and we don’t miss.

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.

Luxury in the Details: Gold Foil Save the Date Cards for Jack & Maggie
When Jack & Maggie started planning their wedding, they had a clear vision: no generic invites—something bold, timeless, and remarkable. They were referred to us by another print shop that couldn’t produce the order and we were more than happy to step in. What they wanted was deceptively simple: a completely unprinted black card with all design elements done in gold foil. Clean. Minimal. Timeless.
We used 350gsm Notturno a premium deep black Italian board, chosen for its matte texture and rich colour that runs through the sheet. It’s a true luxury stock and pairs beautifully with hot foil. The cards were 148mm square, finished entirely in gold foil with no ink at all. That meant every graphic element, text, layout, accents had to be pressed in foil with complete precision.
Foiling like this isn’t for the faint of heart or budget. The process requires us to machine a custom metal block, dial in precise pressure and heat, and run each card through. It’s not cheap. Setup alone can run close to $500, which is why we only recommend this approach for clients who are absolutely committed to the look and are okay with the per-unit cost that comes with short runs. For those working to a tighter budget, we’ve got beautiful alternatives in our wedding stationery range that deliver high impact without the high spend.
Dreaming of something just as bold for your big day?, or want to find the right balance of wow factor and cost? Let’s talk. We’ll give you honest advice and a tailored quote with no pressure.

Bold Branding Meets Functionality: Custom Coasters for Puffin Wine Bar
When Puffin a boutique wine bar tucked beneath The Intrepid Hotel in Wellington—reached out, they were looking for custom drink coasters that would match their refined vibe and serve a practical purpose behind the bar. Originally after 1000, they saw the value and scaled up to 3000 units, maximising their brand exposure with a lower per-unit cost.
We printed the coasters on 275gsm Drink Coaster Board—a stiff, absorbent, uncoated stock made specifically for bars and venues. Puffin’s bold branding took centre stage on the front, while the back featured ruled lines—ideal for jotting down notes, whether by the staff or their patrons. It’s a smart touch for a wine bar known for thoughtful service and attention to detail.
Print was handled on our Konica Minolta AccurioPress C4070, with automated quality control and built-in colour calibration. The result? Pin-sharp imagery and flawless consistency across all 3000 coasters. Each one was precisely diecut into a 93mm circle using our digital die-cutting machine—no cutting dies required, and no compromise on shape accuracy.
The client loved the final product and followed up almost immediately with an order for branded postcards. Here’s what they had to say:
“Always happy with the work these guys do! They make any project we’ve had for Puffin easy to complete, the colours and quality are perfect and whatever the project is they’ll make it work. Turnaround times are great and friendly comms. Can’t recommend enough! Get in touch with them.” — Hannah Wells
