Every stage of the job, run by one team.
Proofing, printing, finishing and packing happen on our own floor in Ellerslie. You brief one team and chase one number, whatever the job turns out to need. We send the finished work anywhere in New Zealand.
01 — DIGITAL PRINTING
Fast turnaround print for the jobs that won't wait
Short runs, quick proof to press, no minimum quantity. This is the work where the brief shifts on Wednesday and the print still has to land on Friday. Campaign proofs, conference packs, reprints at short notice, personalised mailers.
Variable data means every piece can carry a different name, code or image without slowing the run down. That's useful for proofs before a big offset job, for short runs that don't justify a press setup, and for personalised pieces that need to go out quickly.
Where this fits
02 — OFFSET PRINTING
Long runs, mixed and pressed on our own press
When the run is long, the work goes on our A1 six-colour offset press. Brochures, magazine work, retail catalogues, packaging boards. Big jobs where the price per piece matters as much as the print does.
The longer the run, the lower the unit cost, and going big doesn't narrow your choice of stock. Premium uncoateds, heavy boards for folding cartons, recycled grades when the brief calls for them. We mix Pantone, metallic and custom spot colours to a brand standard rather than to whatever a screen is showing you.
Where this fits
03 — LARGE FORMAT PRINTING
Print at a scale people can read from across the road
Large-format work that has to be seen from a distance. Retail windows, event activations, sponsor signage, in-store displays and directional graphics. Indoors or out, one piece or a hundred-store rollout, printed alongside the rest of your collateral.
We print on whatever surface the job needs. Corflute for a season outdoors, vinyl for a window, banner stock for a trade event. Trimming and finishing happen on the same floor, so a same-week brief is still possible when the date won't move.

04 — Finishing
The part you notice
Finishing is what decides whether print gets kept or binned. The fold that lays flat, the cover that stays square, the foil that catches the light when you tilt it. It happens in the same building as the press, so a job doesn't leave the floor and come back.
We collate, pack and dispatch it ready to use. Kitted by site if it's a multi-store rollout, sealed and labelled if it's going straight to a venue.
Where this fits
- 01
Folding & creasing
Lays flat, opens clean, and holds the spread you designed.
- 02
Die-cutting & scoring
Custom shapes for cards, packs and inserts, cut to your dieline.
- 03
Laminating
Gloss, matt and soft touch films, for protection and for how it feels in the hand.
- 04
Saddle-stitch & perfect binding
Eight-page brochures through to perfect-bound reports.
- 05
Numbering, perforation & gluing
For docket books, pads and reply forms.
- 06
Foil stamping
Real metallic finish in gold, copper, brass and holographic foils.
- 07
Pack, kit & dispatch
Sealed, labelled and ready to courier anywhere in New Zealand.
Foil stamping, done on our floor rather than sent away.
Real metallic foil in gold, copper, brass or holographic, pressed under heat into the sheet. It shows best on uncoated stocks, where you can feel the impression with your thumb. Not many printers in New Zealand keep a hot-foil press on the same floor as the offset, so a foil finish doesn't add a week to your job.

Print-ready artwork from people who know the press
Most of our clients arrive with a brand and a design team already in place. We're not trying to replace either. Our job is to make sure the artwork that lands on the press prints the way it was designed to.
That's file prep, bleed and trim corrections, ink limits for awkward stocks, dieline mark-ups for packaging and foil-area artwork. If you don't have an agency, our studio can take your brand and build the artwork from scratch. Most of the time though, we're supporting the design team you already work with.
The people who answer the phone are the people printing.
One press floor in Ellerslie, one team, and forty years of running it. We handle the planning, the printing, the finishing and the dispatch, so there's one number to call rather than five.
