Custom printing
Your logo on kraft. Printed in Tauranga.
Any box we make can be printed with your branding. Send us the artwork, we send back a PDF proof, you sign it off, we cut the screens and print it. Nothing goes on a press until you have said yes to exactly how it looks.
Three ways to get it on the box
Which one suits depends on how many colours, how fine the detail, and how many you need.
Best valueFlexographic
Single colour, medium quality, down to about 1mm. The workhorse for shipping cartons.

Most popularScreen printing
Sharper and more detailed, one or two colours. Halftones give you shades without extra screens.

Full colourDigital printing
Full colour is available. It costs more, so it tends to suit high end work rather than everyday cartons.
Talk to usHow a print job runs
From your logo to a printed box
No surprises. You see it before we make it.
Send your artwork
Vector files please, with fonts converted to outlines. A JPEG or PNG is usually fine for quoting but not for the final print.
We quote it properly
A real price with quantities, colours and timings. Printing plates and screens cost real money, so we tell you the minimum up front.
You approve a PDF proof
We send a PDF of the carton with your artwork positioned on it. Nothing gets made until you sign that off.
Screens and stereos made
Once signed off we make the screens or print stereos, and they stay on file for your reorders.
Printed, cut and out the door
Printed, die cut, flat packed and couriered anywhere in New Zealand.
The technical bit
What file formats do you need?
Print files need to be vector artwork with fonts converted to outlines, not embedded images. JPEG, PNG and Bitmap can sometimes be used to work up a quote, but they are not suitable for final print preparation.
What colours can you print?
We carry black ink in stock. Any other colour is at your cost, so it is worth asking early if your brand colour matters.
How accurate is the print placement?
Screen printing registration repeats within plus or minus 2mm. Flexo repeats within plus or minus 5mm. Worth knowing if your design sits tight to an edge.
How big can the print area be?
Screen printing up to 1300mm x 850mm. Flexographic up to 765mm x 990mm, with a minimum of 200mm between repeats.
What is the minimum run?
200 sheets. Printing plates and screens have a real setup cost, which is why there is a floor. We will always tell you the minimum and the price before you commit to anything.
I do not have artwork. Can you help?
Yes. We can put you in touch with reasonably priced professional graphic artists who will work up your artwork with you.
