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

Commemorating the Pacific Business Trust's Journey through Print: A Meaningful Report for PwC Wellington
A new client, PwC Wellington, asked for our help in bringing a beautifully designed report to life for their client, the Pacific Business Trust. The purpose of this report was to commemorate the remarkable journey of the Pacific Business Trust since its establishment in 1985, paying homage to the past, embracing the present, and envisioning the future.
The report comprised 66 pages and was perfect bound. In our commitment to sustainability and maintaining print quality, we used Eco-100, a fully recycled Chlorine Free paper. To enhance both the visual appeal and durability, we applied a matte lamination to the cover, resulting in a scuff-resistant, soft-touch finish. Additionally, we applied a spot gloss UV varnish to specific elements of the cover's graphics, creating a glossy effect that added depth and contrast to the overall design.
We take pride in the trust placed in us by PwC Wellington and we are proud to have played a role in bringing this significant report to life. It is our commitment to quality that drives us to deliver exceptional print solutions that reflect the impact and importance of our clients' work.

Built to Stick: Custom Logo Decals for Fitzpatrick's Brewing Co
When Tauranga’s Fitzpatrick's Brewing Co needed a fresh batch of logo decals, they came to us with one goal: crisp, durable branding that could keep up with their growing presence in the Bay. A small-batch brewery with big ambition (and a passion for classic cars), Fitzpatrick’s was scaling fast—serving more venues, filling more flagons, and needing reliable print to match their momentum.
To get it right, we used Avery Dennison MPI 2903 gloss vinyl a durable, high-opacity stock that handles indoor and outdoor use like a champ. We printed 500 decals, full CMYK, using our Roland XR-640 for bold colour accuracy. Then we kiss-cut each one to shape, weeded and sheeted them 15 to a page, ready to peel and apply. The result? Easy-to-handle, bubble-free application with a five-year outdoor lifespan ideal for a brewery that isn’t slowing down.
Nothing fancy just sharp execution, built to last, and fast turnaround from proof to delivery. We’ve got Fitzpatrick’s art on file now, so future top-ups will be even quicker.
