Spread Group has signed a deal with Paramount Consumer Products to produce print-on-demand products for the European market for five iconic properties: SpongeBob SquarePants, Garfield, Flashdance, Top Gun, and Star Trek.
Sustainability is at the heart of the partnership. The Spread Group’s print-on-demand offering means an item is only printed after it has been ordered. This limits waste because there’s no over-stocking and leftover sizes.
The first designs will include Garfield LASAGNA lunchboxes, Saturday Night Fever posters, I Feel the Need for Speed Top Gun t-shirts, and Flashdance logo and What a Feeling! hoodies. The designs will be a mixture of classic images and newly created designs produced by Spread Group.
Customisation is also made easy with print-on-demand. Fans have the freedom to add a design to a product in a size, colour, and style of their choice. When fans are involved in the creation of an item it creates a greater affinity with the brand.
Sven Burscher, Spread Group’s Head of Licensing, says: “This partnership means Spread Group can offer a huge variety of themes to a wide audience. The Paramount Global brands cover iconic movies and cartoons for a large demographic. There’s a coming-of-age moment for everyone!
“Our print-on-demand offering means the brands and their fans can customise their creations to suit them, whilst retaining brand integrity. It also limits waste, which is better for the planet.”
Fans will be able to add images and quotes to t-shirts, hoodies, caps, bags, aprons, mugs, water bottles, lunchboxes, pillowcases, posters, and stickers, depending on the brand. Designs will also be localised – for example, Garfield quotes in German, French and English.
The license covers Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and the UK.
