Born in Cyprus. Printed with care. Shipped with love.
Shirtaki is an independent custom-apparel studio on the sunny island of Cyprus. We make it stupidly simple for anyone — creators, small brands, teams — to print sharp, premium garments on demand. No minimums. No middlemen. No nonsense.
Why we started Shirtaki
We were tired of the same story: order 500 blanks, hope they sell, eat the ones that don't. The custom-apparel industry was built for big brands — long lead times, high minimums, poor quality control. Creators were paying the price.
So in 2021 we set up a small studio in Paphos with two direct-to-garment printers, a DTF heat press, and a simple promise: one piece or one thousand, same pro quality, printed in-house, shipped from Cyprus.
Today we ship across the EU, the UK, and beyond — for indie musicians, design studios, football clubs, yoga teachers, tattoo artists and people who just want a really good t-shirt with their dog on it.
How we work
- Studio-direct. Every print is checked by a human in Paphos before it ships. No dropshipping. No surprises.
- Premium blanks only. Pre-shrunk, ring-spun, 180–240 GSM cotton. We tested 40+ brands and kept the 6 that hold ink sharp for 60+ washes.
- Eco-minded. Water-based inks, zero-waste nesting, recycled mailers. We plant a tree for every 10th order through One Tree Planted.
- Accountable. Defective print? We reprint or refund, no questions. Promise.
