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

Garage Project is no stranger to pushing creative boundaries in craft beer — and when they needed a standout bottle wrap for their South Pacific–inspired stout, Garage Project came to us. Designed by Wellington illustrator Tim Gibson of Flying Whities, the artwork deserved a print finish that would capture the same boldness and flair as the beer inside. This was never going to be a plain label — it needed to be premium, distinctive, and ready to hold its own on a crowded shelf.

We produced custom wraps on Eco-100 stock, printed full colour both sides, and finished with hot stamp gold foil for a striking metallic detail. That foiled accent gave the design depth and light-catching impact — the kind of premium finish that not only elevates the artwork, but also communicates the quality of the beer before the first sip. To ensure Garage Project could launch on time and keep up with demand, we ran fast-turnaround digital prints for the first batch, followed by larger offset print runs with die-cut finishing. The result: consistent, high-quality wraps delivered to spec — every time.

This has become an ongoing project with Garage Project. When they need premium packaging done right, they know we can deliver quickly without compromise.
