KC Printing -You Think It, They Ink It

KC Printing is a family-owned printing and branding business based in Welcome Bay, proudly servicing Tauranga, the wider Bay of Plenty and customers throughout the North Island. Established in 2020 as PAWS Printing, the business began as a hobby creating personalised T-shirts and mugs for friends and family. After COVID-19, that creative hobby quickly grew into a thriving business, with new opportunities in vinyl signage, vehicle branding and commercial printing.

In 2022, following the heartbreaking loss of their son, Keanan Coetzee, the business took on a new meaning. Renamed KC Printing in May 2023, the company honours Keanan’s memory and the important part he played in its journey. What began with small personalised gifts has continued to grow, with a strong focus on helping businesses build professional, consistent and recognisable brands.

Today, KC Printing specialises in commercial branding solutions, including vehicle wraps and fleet branding, shopfront signage, window graphics, branded uniforms and workwear, custom decals, banners and a wide range of printing services. With specialist vehicle-wrapping training, including training with 3M, Werner is committed to delivering quality workmanship and efficient turnaround times, particularly when businesses rely on their vehicles to keep operating.

At the heart of KC Printing is “your friendliest guy in New Zealand”, owner Werner Hanekom’s belief that business is about people, not just products. With a background in sales dating back to his early twenties, Werner understands the importance of building genuine relationships, listening to customers and finding practical solutions that meet their needs.

“People buy from people and we are proud and blessed that our passion for creative printing, became a fruitful and viable business. Thus, being said, no printing request will be too big or too small for us. Our goal is to make business branding easier, deliver work we can be proud of, and build relationships that last. We understand that our customers rely on their vehicles to keep their businesses running, so we sometimes work overnight to ensure a vehicle is wrapped and ready on time, minimising disruption to their day-to-day operations.”

— Werner Hanekom, Owner of KC Printing

This philosophy underpins the personal service KC Printing is known for, with many customer relationships growing into lasting friendships. Whether branding a single work vehicle or creating a consistent look across an entire business, KC Printing takes pride in helping customers present themselves professionally and stand out from the crowd.
