Boldly Branded: Havana Coffee Works’ Premium Business Cards
At Colourcraft, we understand that every detail counts when creating quality print work. A recent project for Havana Coffee Works, Wellington’s bold and innovative coffee roasters, showcases this commitment.
Havana wanted business cards that captured their distinctive and energetic brand. We printed several thousand cards on a premium 350gsm stock, with full-colour print on both sides. To enhance durability, we applied a soft-touch matt lamination to both sides.
Then to make the design stand out, we applied a Spot UV gloss varnish to the Havana logo. This technique adds a glossy finish that contrasts against the matt background, giving the cards a distinctive look and feel that instantly draws the eye.
The result is a set of business cards that reflects Havana Coffee Works’ dedication to quality, crafted with the utmost care by Colourcraft.

Eye-Catching and Durable: Te Piere o te Reo Workbooks by Colourcraft
At Colourcraft, we thrive on producing premium quality work that leaves a lasting impression. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with the Wellington City Council to print 200 workbooks for Te Piere o te Reo, a convention for fluent te Reo Māori speakers.
Initially, the client considered embossing for the cover, but we recommended a more striking and cost-effective solution: a spot UV gloss varnish atop a durable, scuff-resistant matt laminated finish. This resulted in an eye-catching and resilient cover.
Our efforts were met with high praise from the Wellington City Council, who left us this glowing review on Google:
“Beautiful product. The team were a pleasure to work with - so professional and produced a high-quality product. What I loved the most was the advice on how to improve the product before printing. The small details mattered - THANK YOU!”
The 114-page workbooks were printed in full colour on 100gsm offset stock and were wiro bound on the left edge, producing a durable and professional workbook.
At Colourcraft, we are dedicated to delivering quality printing solutions, and we are proud to have contributed in a small way to Te Piere o te Reo with craftsmanship and attention to detail.

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.

Sized Just Right: Fix & Fogg's Mega-Sized Cookie Crunch Label
At Colourcraft, we were honoured to collaborate with our talented neighbours, Fix & Fogg, renowned for crafting the world's best nut butters. They presented us with a unique challenge: printing a label for a one-of-a-kind 5KG jar of Cookie Time Cookie Crunch, destined for a fundraising auction organised by Everybody Eats.
The massive label, printed in full colour on a self-adhesive stock, spanned over 500mm in width, which replicates the look of their 265g jar label which is printed by another supplier.

Exquisite Compliments: Printing Underlena's Striking Compliment Slips
At Colourcraft, we understand that businesses need to leave a lasting impression on their clientele. So when Maxine from Underlena, the renowned Wellington-based lingerie brand, entrusted us with the task of producing compliment slips that reflected their brand's quality, we had the opportunity to produce something remarkable.
We printed the supplied design on a matt 350gsm offset stock in colour on both sides, Then to add emphasis to the Underlena logo we applied a UV gloss varnish. This technique draws attention and creates a delightful contrast between the gloss logo and the matt card background.
