The City of Armadale’s in house print room (PRINTHUB) was recently recognised at the 2025 National Print Awards.
Print and Design Lead Cameron Ellis was awarded Industry Employee of the Year, a huge honour for the print room’s hard-working leader. Under Cameron’s leadership, Printhub has grown in output and profitability each year, and now employs additional staff to manage the significant workload.
Three of the City’s projects Printhub delivered were finalists at the awards, which assessed both the design and final product. Two projects were finalists in the Digital Print Publishing: Catalogues + Magazine’s category, and one in the Creative Services + Prepress Branding + Identity category. Being a finalist places the City of Armadale among the top five in the industry nationwide, an outstanding accomplishment for a humble local government print room.
Printhub is a high performing and revenue generating workhorse, sitting within the Communications and Engagement team. The expertise and versatility of Printhub allow the City to do all their printing and design in house.
The print rooms capabilities include booklets, business cards, reports, brochures, display and visual merchandise, floor graphics, park banners, pull up banners, corflutes, stickers, pole and bollard covers, and other specialty printing.
Having an in-house print room allows the City to save time and costs, whilst improving our sustainability outcomes. Additionally, the City provides a key service to five other local governments, who trust our in-house expertise to deliver a high-quality product, often with tight deadlines. Our external service has grown by 400 per cent, a testament to the quality and dedication of the Print and Design team.
The print room continues to innovate, working with suppliers to explore banner recycling and upcycling initiatives, and actively working to reduce the environmental impact and raise the overall efficiency of our service.
Congratulations to Cameron and the City of Armadale Print and Design team for receiving national recognition for all their excellent work.
