KC Printing

Business History:

KC Printing was previously known as PAWS Printing which originated in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2020, only as a T-Shirt and mug printing hobby. This hobby soon turned into a business, which picked up at fast pace. PAWS Printing’s clothing line started out as a sweet reminder to Ex South Africans, of the funny slogans which were so well known to SAFFAS and maybe a fresh new humour which could be introduced to our now fellow KIWIS for a light side of comedic relief during the dark times with COVID-19. Such printing would include personalized themed T-Shirts, Caps, Hoodies, Mugs, and baby gear. We received more and more requests for vinyl stickers, which included vehicle branding, window stickers, advertising boards, etc. This soon formed a great part of our business.

In June 2022 we suffered a GREAT tragedy, when we lost our son Keanan Coetzee (who was 18 at the time) when he was involved in a vehicle accident. We wanted to close the business as he was a big part of the business. It was too painful to carry on. After a lot of persuasion from many of our customers, family, and friends, we decided to carry on with the business.

Towards the end of 2022 we brought out our own range of clothing, named after Keanan: “KEANAN COETZEE APPAREL”. In May 2023 we decided to change the name of the business to KC Printing to honor his name. 2024 was the year we took the business to another level. The owner Werner Hanekom went for a training course in wrapping vehicles where he obtained full marks on all 3 courses. He also did a training course with 3M on wrapping Fleet Vehicles. In June we moved into our new and bigger premises in Mount Maunganui to accommodate the wrapping of vehicles.

Werner has a reputation for being the “Friendliest Guy” and has a strong relationship building quality. No wonder that most of our clients end up being friends.​
