Shoppers for the telecom sector (Cyprus)
Branded shoppers for Cyprus telecom operators (Cyta, Epic, Primetel, Cablenet), flagship stores and B2B partners. Non-woven PP and laminated shoppers, MOQ 100 units, 10–14 day lead time from Limassol.
Why a Cyprus telecom operator orders branded shoppers
Three distinct uses drive the operator shopper brief. The first is the flagship-store carry-bag — a heavy-canvas tote or non-woven shopper handed to every customer who buys a device or upgrades a plan at the Cyta store on Makarios Avenue in Nicosia or the Epic store at My Mall Limassol. The second is the conference giveaway shopper — a shopper given to attendees of the G-Force Gaming Festival, the Cablenet Limassol Marathon, or the Cytanet sponsorship of the Cyprus Basketball Federation. The third is the enterprise B2B channel-partner gift — a heavier tote that ships with the partner welcome kit.
Models and materials that fit
Three specifications cover most operator briefs. The TC-100 heavy-canvas flagship shopper (450 gsm natural cotton canvas, 40×45 cm, 16 L, reinforced base, webbing handles) is the flagship-store carry-bag and the enterprise B2B gift tier. The TC-220 non-woven PP conference shopper (120 gsm, 38×42 cm, GRS-certified chain-of-custody, contrast stitch in operator Pantone) is the conference and event giveaway tier. The TC-340 laminated non-woven partner shopper (160 gsm, 40×45 cm, 18 L, magnetic snap) is the channel-partner welcome tier.
Prints and branding approaches
Flagship tier: 1-colour screen print in operator Pantone (Cyta PMS 300 C blue, Epic PMS 219 C magenta, Primetel PMS 354 C green, Cablenet PMS 165 C orange), max print area 28×28 cm, water-based ink. Conference tier: full-coverage rotogravure print, photographic-quality artwork suitable for the season campaign. Partner tier: full-coverage rotogravure print with the operator's seasonal artwork. Pantone matching follows each operator's brand book and we provide a colour-match report for the procurement file on orders above 200 units.
Bundling and packaging
Flagship tier ships flat-packed 50 per master carton with a printed belly band showing the operator wordmark and the campaign name. Conference tier ships flat-packed 100 per master carton with a header card showing the campaign name and a QR code linking to the operator's app. Partner tier ships individually in a tissue sleeve inside a courier box.

Cyprus context
The four operators and the cable ISPs (Cablenet, Omega) all run national footprints that pass through Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca. Cyta's flagship store on Makarios Avenue in Nicosia and the Epic store at My Mall Limassol drive the flagship-store tier; the G-Force Gaming Festival in Limassol and the Cablenet sponsorship of the GSoC Limassol Marathon drive the conference tier. We hold stock of TC-220 in Cyta and Epic colourways at our Limassol hub so a 500-unit conference tote order ships in 7 working days.
Frequently asked questions
Which shopper suits a Cyta or Epic flagship-store carry-bag?
The TC-100 heavy-canvas flagship shopper — 450 gsm natural cotton canvas, 40×45 cm, 16 L, reinforced base, webbing handles. 1-colour screen print in operator Pantone (Cyta PMS 300 C, Epic PMS 219 C). Ships flat-packed 50 per master carton. We hold stock colourways at the Limassol hub for emergency rollouts.
Are the materials EU REACH-compliant?
Yes — all pigments and inks used on the TC-100, TC-220 and TC-340 are lead-free and EU REACH-compliant. We supply a per-batch Declaration of Conformity on request for orders above 500 units, including the SVHC screening list current at the time of production.
Can the shopper include a QR code linking to the operator's app?
Yes — for the conference shopper tier we print a QR code on the inside belly band that resolves to the operator's app-download page (App Store + Google Play). The code is generated at 300 dpi for reliable smartphone scanning.
How fast can a 1,000-piece conference shopper order turn around?
14 business days for TC-340 laminated rotogravure after artwork approval. The G-Force Gaming Festival (March) and the Cablenet Limassol Marathon (April) are the two annual spikes — book 4 weeks ahead and we hold the slot. Bulk pricing drops to €1.80 per shopper at 1,000+ units.
Can you match each operator's Pantone brand colour exactly?
Yes — Cyta PMS 300 C blue, Epic PMS 219 C magenta, Primetel PMS 354 C green, Cablenet PMS 165 C orange. Custom dye lot starts at 500 units per colourway with a 4-week lead time and a colour-match report (ΔE ≤ 2). Below 500 units we supply from the operator brand library we keep at the Limassol hub.
Can the shopper be filled at the hub for a partner welcome kit?
Yes — we offer a fulfilment service at the Limassol hub: we receive the operator's SIM-pack insert pins, the welcome card and the campaign leaflets, pack them into the shopper, add the tissue liner, and ship the finished partner kit to the channel partner or directly to the enterprise account. Add €1.20 per shopper for pick-and-pack.
