Sydney-based Next Printing was named winner of the Outstanding Achievement in Sustainability Award at this year’s ProPrint Awards.
The Outstanding Achievement in Sustainability Award recognises companies that actively implement sustainable practices, utilise eco-friendly materials, or achieve measurable improvements in sustainability over the past 12 months.
Next Printing has long been a pioneer in eco-conscious printing. Nearly a decade ago, the company embraced Reboard technology – well ahead of the mainstream shift towards sustainable alternatives.
Earlier this year, the company earned global recognition by winning the FESPA 2025 Gold Award for its Barbie@Grill’d display – a month-long Barbie-themed activation at Grill’d in The Galeries, Sydney. The campaign highlighted the creative potential of sustainable materials while significantly reducing environmental impact.
“I am very honoured to accept this award on behalf of everyone at Next Printing and those of you that have supported our sustainability journey,” Romeo Sanuri, managing director of Next Printing said at the 2025 ProPrint Awards.
“The introduction of Reboard nearly a decade ago has shaped the way we think about materials, design, and responsibility in print. “In the past few years, our commitment to sustainability has deepened in ways we couldn’t have imagined,” he said.
Sanuri also thanked Next Printing general manager Pranil Chandra and the Next Printing team.
“To Pranil Chandra, our general manager – your leadership since 2022 has turned our sustainability goals into daily practice across our business,” he said.
“To the entire Next Printing team – this award is for you. Your creativity and commitment continue to drive us forward and make us better every day.
“I entered the printing industry 20 years ago, after a career in IT, because I loved creating tangible products that people could see and connect with. That passion has only grown. Today, we are not just making ‘things’ – we are making things that matter.
“To our clients, suppliers, and partners thank you for embracing new ideas and trusting us to find better ways forward. Together, we have proven that sustainable printing can be both creatively and commercially successful.
“So, my challenge to everyone here is simple – keep exploring, keep innovating, and keep inspiring others to choose sustainability.
“The future of printing is sustainable and starts with the choices we make today.”
