About
The proprietor of Paekariki Press is Matthew Arthur Mckenzie, a native of New Zealand. The company makes use of a variety of different printing tools that date from between the nineteenth and early-twentieth century. So far, all their publications have been of poetry, often by local poets. However, they have also published works by several internationally prominent poets, including Ivy Alvarez, Alan Loney and George Szirtes. In at least one instance, the company has raised funds for the publication of a book using the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.

In addition to publishing handmade books, the company also offers letterpress workshops and other similar activities to the public.
