Print Operations Manager to Creator Studio

Company Description
Creator Studio is offering an end-to-end, plug-and-play solution for license-holders and creators to create meaningful products for fans around the globe. With the H&M Group supply chain as the backbone, we set up white-label storefronts for our customers where they sell on-demand printed garments delivered to a global market. This way, we have the ability to set up an endless number of e-com stores where H&M Group produced products are sold, but with design tailored to specific target groups, printed on our own Creator Studio blank garment collection with organic and recycled materials.

The great thing with print-on-demand is that we only print when the product is sold. This way we reduce over-production and the creators don’t need to invest in large volumes of garments that might not sell. Instead, they can focus on the fun part: creating new and unique designs for their fans around the world.
