Faster turnarounds and no import duty

H&M's Creator Studio adds UK production hub

T Shirt & Sons: long-standing sustainability focus

T Shirt & Sons has become Creator Studio’s first UK production hub.

Creator Studio is a global on-demand printing platform that is part of fashion giant H&M Group.

T Shirt & Sons is based in Westbury, Wiltshire. The firm was acquired by the PF Concept group of companies in 2021.

It offers extensive print-on-demand services encompassing a multitude of product options from clothing to drinkware, tote bags and aprons.

Equipment includes Kornit DTG printers and Amica Technology object printers, as well as screen printing for larger orders of 50 or more items.

Creator Studio said the new UK hub was “running really smoothly” and benefits would include faster turnaround times and no import duties for UK customers and those selling into the UK.

The business aims to be a sustainable, one-stop merchandise platform for creative businesses and sellers.

T Shirt & Sons commercial director Adam Golder said the firm had already partnered with Creator Studio on the continent, where T Shirt & Sons has a facility in the Netherlands at Venlo, and was delighted to expand the relationship.

He said: “Combining Creator Studio’s innovative technology with our decades-long experience in the UK market, we’re confident that this collaboration will provide creatives all over the world an alternative solution to their merchandise needs in the lucrative UK market.”

Creator Stuidio managing director Dinesh Nayar said the business had been keen to open a hub in the UK.

“Sustainability is at the core of our business model, and we’re delighted that our UK customers can now shop confident in the knowledge that their purchases are environmentally stable.

“We can’t wait to see what UK artists across the country create using our technology.”
