Custom t-shirt printing in Cyprus, without the usual nonsense.
If you've spent five minutes searching for custom t-shirt printing in Cyprus, you already noticed the problem: half the results are local print shops with 50-piece minimums and a Word document for a price list, the other half are global print-on-demand sites that ship from Eastern Europe and add €18 of customs paperwork to a €15 tee.
Shirtaki sits in the middle on purpose. We print inside the EU on the same retail-grade blanks we sell in our own shop, deliver to Nicosia, Limassol, Larnaca, Paphos and Famagusta in 7–14 working days, and we do it whether you order one shirt or eight hundred. No setup fees. No "minimum 25 of the same colour". No phone calls about a +€8 "screen burn".
This page is the long-form version of how it actually works — print methods, blanks, pricing tiers, wash durability, delivery times by city. If you just want a quote, the fastest way is to email us your idea — price + mockup back within one working day.

DTG or DTF — which one is right for your shirt?
We use two digital print methods. We don't run traditional screen printing — for 99% of jobs, one of these two does the same thing better, faster and cheaper. Here's the honest difference.
| Question | DTG (Direct-to-Garment) | DTF (Direct-to-Film) |
|---|---|---|
| Best fabric | 100% cotton, cotton-rich blends | Anything — cotton, polyester, blends, tri-blends |
| Hand-feel | Soft, soaks into the fabric | Slightly raised, smooth, flexible |
| Photo-realism | Excellent — gradients, fine detail | Excellent — slightly more saturated |
| Vivid neon on black | Good | Outstanding |
| Wash durability | 60+ washes | 60+ washes |
| Setup fee | €0 | €0 |
| Min order | 1 piece | 1 piece |
Pick DTG when…
Your design is detailed or photographic, the shirt is cotton-rich, and you want a vintage soft-hand finish that ages with the garment.
Pick DTF when…
You need vivid colour on dark fabric, you're printing on polyester or sports blends, or your logo has hard edges and bold blocks of solid colour.
Don't know which? Send the artwork and we'll tell you straight — including which one we'd pick if it were our money. Deeper guide to DTG → Why DTF replaces screen printing →
The blanks we print on
We don't print on the cheap 130 g/m² promo tees you'll find on most "custom t-shirt" sites. The blanks below are the same ones we use for our own retail line. If you've held a Shirtaki shirt, you know the weight.
Acid-washed heavy tee
- 240 g/m² heavy cotton, acid-wash treated
- Each tee washes slightly differently — no two identical
- Vintage cloudy fade, soft-broken-in feel
- Best paired with high-contrast DTG prints
Classic regular-fit tee
- 180 g/m² combed cotton
- Regular fit — what most "promo" shops sell, but better quality
- Best blank for staff uniforms, cafés, bar runs
- 20+ colours, sizes XS–3XL, kids on request
Need something else — heavyweight 280 g/m², longline, women's fitted cut, organic certified, kids sizes, or specific Pantone-matched colour blanks? We source through EU partner mills. Tell us in the brief.
Pricing — one tee or a thousand
For single pieces, the retail price on the product page is the price — no hidden fees, VAT included. For 25+ identical pieces, volume rates kick in. For B2B above 100 units, we quote a custom contract. The brackets below are indicative for our heavy oversized tee with a single front print; final quote depends on artwork complexity, garment colour and shipping address.
| Quantity | Approx. price / piece | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 1–24 | Retail (€26.99) | Personal, sample, gift, content shoot |
| 25–99 | ~€21–€23 | Small team, capsule drop, café staff |
| 100–499 | ~€17–€19 | Festival crew, large event, conference |
| 500+ | Quoted (~€14–€16) | Brand drop, sports club season, corporate |
Included in every quote:
garment + print + EU VAT + tracked shipping to one address. Never added later: setup fees, screen fees, "rush" surcharges, per-colour fees, artwork-handling fees, "design adjustment" charges. One quote, that's it.
Delivery times across Cyprus & Greece
We print inside the EU and ship through our courier partners. From artwork approval to your door, here's the realistic timeline by city — not the optimistic version, the actual one.
| City / region | Door-to-door time | Same-day pickup |
|---|---|---|
| Nicosia · Λευκωσία | 7–11 working days | Yes (studio collection) |
| Limassol · Λεμεσός | 7–11 working days | — |
| Larnaca · Λάρνακα | 7–11 working days | — |
| Paphos · Πάφος | 8–12 working days | — |
| Famagusta · Αμμόχωστος | 8–12 working days | — |
| Athens · Thessaloniki · GR | 7–12 working days | — |
Production: 3–5 working days · Transit Cyprus: 4–7 working days · No customs delays — we ship from inside the EU. For deadline-bound jobs (festival, conference, anniversary) we offer expedited production at no rush surcharge if you tell us the deadline upfront.
Artwork — what we need from you
Three lanes depending on what you've got. All three lead to a real print — no judgemental "you need a vector file or we can't help" reply.
Best-case file
- Vector format: SVG, PDF or AI
- Outlined fonts (no missing-font surprises)
- CMYK or RGB — we handle conversion
- Transparent background
Acceptable file
- PNG at 300 DPI at full print size
- Transparent background ideally
- ≥ 3000 px on the long edge for chest prints
- JPG works — we'll knock out the background
Don't have artwork?
- Send a sketch on paper — even on a napkin
- Reference images + a few sentences
- Use our design studio
- €0 for redrawing & cleanup on most jobs
⚠ The most common mistake:
sending a logo screenshotted from Instagram. Looks fine on phone, but at 28 cm wide on a chest it'll be pixel-soup. If you only have a low-res file, tell us — we'll either redraw it for free or tell you upfront the result won't be retail-grade.
Will the print survive the wash?
Short version: yes, for at least 60 wash cycles, if you don't actively try to destroy it. Our prints are wash-tested at the production facility before the printer is signed off — we don't ship with a method that fails after ten washes.
The four wash rules that decide print lifespan
- Inside out — every time. The friction during the spin cycle is what kills prints, not the water.
- 30°C maximum. Hot water shortens the life of the pigment binder.
- No fabric softener directly on the print. It coats the fibres and dulls colour over time.
- Tumble dry low or air dry. Iron only on the reverse, never directly on the print.
We include a printed care card with every bulk order — your team or customers see it before the first wash.
What people print with us in Cyprus
A non-exhaustive sample of jobs we've shipped in the last twelve months. Each one came in as an email starting with "is this something you do?".
Café & restaurant uniforms
15–40 staff tees in 2–3 colour ways, logo on chest, sometimes a phrase on the back. Classic regular-fit blank, DTF print so it survives the dishwasher-adjacent life of a kitchen tee.
Festival & event crew
50–250 black tees with "CREW" or "STAFF" on the back in a high-vis colour. Turned around in 7–10 days when the brief is locked early. DTF, because security tees take a beating.
Streetwear capsule drops
25–100 oversized heavy tees with a graphic-heavy front print, hem-tag and hangtag. DTG on the heavy oversized blank for the soft-hand vintage feel small brands want.
Sports clubs & gyms
30–80 tees with sponsor logos on chest, back & sleeve. DTF on a polyester-blend sports tee so the print doesn't peel after every training session.
Personal gifts & one-offs
Birthdays, leaving presents, bachelor parties, "mine-and-his". Single piece, full-quality print, retail-grade blank. Open the design studio and you're done in 10 minutes.
Conference & corporate
100–500 tees for a tech / startup / industry event. Multi-size split, individually-bagged option, delivered to a single hotel address two days before the event. Quoted at the 100+ tier.
Custom t-shirt printing FAQ
The most-googled questions about custom t-shirt printing in Cyprus, answered honestly. If yours isn't here, email us — we usually reply within an hour on weekdays.
Can I really order just one custom t-shirt?
Yes. Every product on shirtaki.io is print-on-demand at qty 1. Same blank, same DTG/DTF print, same wash durability. The retail price on the product page is the all-in price — no setup fee added on top.
How fast is custom t-shirt printing in Cyprus?
From artwork approval: 3–5 working days production + 4–7 working days transit inside Cyprus = 7–12 working days total to your door. Greece is the same range. We're transparent about this — the "24-hour shipping" claims you see on competitor sites are usually only printing time, not delivery.
Do you do screen printing?
No — we run DTF instead, the modern equivalent. DTF gives you the same vivid, opaque, durable finish people associate with screen printing, but without screen-burning fees, ink-mixing setup or 25-piece minimums per colour. For 99% of jobs DTF is faster and cheaper. Full comparison here.
Can you print on shirts I already own?
No — we only print on blanks supplied through our EU production network. The reason is quality control: with customer-supplied garments we can't guarantee colourfastness, fabric composition, or how the blank will react to heat-press. Compromising on that breaks the wash-durability promise.
What's the largest print size you can do on a t-shirt?
Standard print area is up to 30 × 40 cm on the front and 30 × 40 cm on the back, plus optional sleeve and chest-tag prints. For full-bleed allover prints (sublimation) we use a different process — ask in your brief.
Do you provide samples before a bulk run?
For orders above 50 units we strongly recommend it — paid sample at the 1-piece price, and the cost is credited against your bulk invoice once you approve. For runs above 200 units, sample is non-negotiable. It saves you from "the print is 8% smaller than I wanted on 200 shirts" disasters.
Is the printing eco-friendly?
DTG uses water-based, OEKO-TEX certified pigment inks — no PVC, no phthalates, less wastewater than traditional screen printing. DTF inks are also OEKO-TEX certified. Our cotton blanks come from EU mills that we audit for certification (GOTS organic available on request).
Do you issue an invoice / VAT receipt for businesses?
Yes. EU VAT-registered businesses can supply their VAT number for reverse-charge invoicing. Companies registered in Cyprus get a Cyprus VAT invoice. For corporate procurement, we accept bank transfer, card, and PO-based billing for orders above €1,500.
What if the shirts arrive faulty?
We re-print or refund — whichever you prefer — for any garment with a print defect, fabric flaw or wrong size against the order. 30-day window from delivery. Email a photo, that's the entire process. No "RMA forms" or 14-step return labels.
