Enhancing Design and Print Capabilities
The collaboration between HP and Canva is designed to benefit both HP Print Service Providers (PSPs) and the vast Canva community worldwide, offering a seamlessly integrated system for designing and printing visual content.

Pioneering Innovation and Growth
Cliff Obrecht, Canva’s co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, expressed the strategic value that this partnership will bring to both organizations, emphasizing its potential to fuel customer growth and drive innovation across the board.
Empowering the Canva Community
With over 185 million monthly users, including 95% of the Fortune 500 companies, Canva has been a trailblazer in visual communication since its inception in 2013.

Expanding Reach and Sustainability
Through this partnership, the Canva community will gain access to professionally printed products from HP PSPs worldwide. Canva is committed to extending its print services to 150 countries by 2026, thereby reducing its carbon footprint through localized operations and ensuring shorter turnaround times for customers.
Leveraging HP Automation Software
HP’s cutting-edge automation software, HP PrintOS Site Flow, will play a crucial role in automating production and shipping processes for PSPs, enhancing efficiency and productivity. The integration of new features in HP’s PrintOS Suite will provide the Canva Print Operations team with powerful tools to manage a global SKU catalogue across HP-enabled PSPs effectively.
