Branded Merch and Custom T-Shirts for Businesses in Cyprus: How to Order from Print This Print That

Branded T-shirts, caps and tote bags are one of the simplest ways for a small business in Cyprus to look professional at a market stall, a conference or on the job. Local print shops exist, but many expat-run businesses also order online. Here is how ordering works with Print This Print That, an online B2B merchandise supplier that delivers to Cyprus.

What is Print This Print That?

Print This Print That is an online supplier of branded merchandise for businesses, with a registered office in London. It prints logos and designs on clothing and promotional items and delivers across the UK and Europe, including Cyprus. Its focus is business customers: companies, event organisers, clubs, hospitality venues and teams.

You can find its details in our Expatify directory listing.

What can you get printed?

The range covers most of what a business needs:

Which printing method should you choose?

The right technique depends on the item, the design and the quantity.

• Direct-to-garment (DTG): the design is printed straight onto the fabric, like an inkjet printer. Good for small runs, single pieces and full-colour or photographic designs.
• Screen printing: ink is pushed through a separate screen for each colour. Usually the best value for larger runs of the same design with a limited number of colours, and very durable.
• Embroidery: the logo is stitched into the fabric. A premium, hard-wearing finish that works well on polo shirts, caps, fleeces and workwear.
• Dye sublimation: the design is transferred into polyester fabrics or coated items with heat. Suited to sportswear, all-over prints and items such as mugs.
• Transfer printing: the design is printed onto a transfer and heat-pressed on. Useful for names and numbers or mixed garments.

If you are unsure, describe the item, the number of colours in your logo and the quantity in your quote request and ask for a recommendation.

How do you order?

What should you know about delivery and import charges?

Cyprus is in the EU and the UK is not, so goods dispatched from the UK are treated as imports and may be subject to import VAT and, depending on the origin of the goods, customs duty. When you request your quote, ask:

• where the goods will be shipped from;
• whether the price is "delivered duty paid" (all import charges included) or whether the courier will collect charges from you on delivery;
• how long delivery to your town in Cyprus usually takes.

Are there eco-friendly options?

Yes. Organic and Fair Trade garments and eco-friendly printing options are available. If sustainability matters to your brand or to an event's sponsors, say so in your quote request so the right blank garments are suggested.

Tips for events, teams and workwear in Cyprus

• Order early for events. Allow time for the mock-up, any changes, production and delivery, particularly before busy periods such as summer festivals or the Christmas season.
• Mix sizes in one order. Orders can start from one piece and mix sizes, so ask each team member for their size rather than guessing.
• Think about the heat. For outdoor staff in summer, choose lighter, breathable fabrics and lighter colours; save hoodies and fleeces for winter or evening events.
• Use embroidery for uniforms. Embroidered polos and caps withstand frequent washing better than many prints, which suits restaurants, cafés and service teams.
• Check the guarantee. The supplier offers a reprint or a money-back guarantee if something goes wrong; check the mock-up carefully anyway, as approving it confirms what is printed.
• Keep your files. Once you have an approved design, reordering for new staff is much quicker.
