Printing on Your Own Shirt (Uniqlo etc.) in Hanoi
Already have a shirt you love, say a plain tee from Uniqlo or your favorite store, and just want a design, text or logo added? Startee prints on customer-supplied shirts at its workshop in Tan Xuan, Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi, from a single piece, at around 100,000 VND per shirt for single prints.
Startee is an independent print workshop, not affiliated with Uniqlo or any brand. “Uniqlo shirt” here is only an example of a plain shirt you bought yourself.
Cost
- Around 100,000 VND per shirt for a single design.
- The exact price depends on design size, number of print positions (chest, back, sleeve) and quantity. Send your artwork for a quote before bringing the shirts in.
- No shirt yet? Order shirt + print in Startee Mockup, with the price shown instantly and 8% VAT included; see the price list.
Which shirts can be printed
Startee picks the method by fabric:
| Fabric | Suitable method | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 100% cotton | DTG or DTF | DTG for a soft, multi-color print; DTF for quick prints on dark shirts |
| Cotton blends (CVC, TC) | DTF | Bonds well to blends |
| Polyester, sportswear | DTF | The fabric must tolerate the heat press |
| Water-repellent coatings, windbreakers, chunky knits | Needs a look first | Some fabrics don’t hold ink or can’t take press heat |
Quickest way: photograph the fabric content label (usually at the neck or side seam) and send it via Zalo so Startee can advise first. Compare methods in DTG vs DTF vs screen printing.
How it works
- Send photos of the shirt, its label and your artwork via Zalo 0943 903 866 (English) or 0911 850 850, with the position and size you want.
- Get advice on the print method and a quote.
- Bring the shirts to the workshop: No. 1, Lane 96 Tan Xuan Street, Dong Ngac, Bac Tu Liem, Hanoi (Mon–Fri, 9:00–17:00), or post them in.
- Startee prints and lets you know when they’re ready to collect or ship back.
Preparing your artwork
- Use an original high-resolution file or a vector; images saved from the web often pixelate when printed large. See pixelated web images on shirts.
- Logos should have a transparent background (PNG) so no white box gets printed.
- Measure the print size you want (cm) on your actual shirt.
