Tee Shirt People

Two halves of the same shop: Tee Shirt People supplies the blanks, Z's Printing decorates them. Based in North York, serving businesses right across Ontario.

Who we are

Blanks and printing, same building

Most people ordering custom apparel end up dealing with two companies: one who sells them the shirts and one who prints them. When something goes wrong — the wrong colour, the wrong size, a delay — each one points at the other.

We do both. The blanks are on our own shelves, the presses and the embroidery machine are in the same room, and one person owns your order from the first message to the moment you pick it up. That's also why we can honestly say there's no minimum: we're not placing a stock order on your behalf, we're pulling from inventory that's already here.

The range grew out of what customers kept asking for — tees first, then hoodies, polos, headwear and totes — and it's now the deepest blank T-shirt collection in Ontario. Wholesale pricing is the standing price, not a volume reward.

Who we print for

Business orders, mostly

01

Trades & contractors

Branded work tees and hoodies that survive the job site, plus hi-vis and hats. Reorder the same file any time a new hire starts.

02

Restaurants & retail

Staff uniforms in polos and tees, aprons and totes for the front of house, merch for the customers who ask for it.

03

Schools, teams & churches

Class sets, team rosters with names and numbers, fundraiser hoodies, event shirts on a deadline that can't move.

04

Clothing brands

Blanks at wholesale so your margin works, plus small-batch printing while you're still testing designs.

05

Events & promo

Conference giveaways, tote bags by the hundred, volunteer shirts, family reunions and birthdays.

06

And one-offs

One shirt for one person, at the same price per piece as everyone else. It's how a lot of our business customers started.

Questions

Straight answers

Is there really no minimum?

Yes. One piece is a real order. Screen printing is the one exception where quantity genuinely changes the price — for everything else the per-piece rate is the same whether you buy one or fifty.

How fast is turnaround?

Typically 24 to 72 hours once artwork is approved. Rush work is often same-day. Ask before you assume — we'll tell you straight whether your date is realistic.

Can I buy blanks with no printing?

Absolutely. Plenty of customers buy blanks from us and decorate elsewhere, or resell them. Wholesale pricing applies either way.

Do you ship?

Pickup in North York is the standard. Talk to us about shipping within Ontario for larger orders.

Can you match a Pantone?

Screen printing and embroidery, yes — send the reference. DTF and sublimation get very close but are printed in CMYK, so exact spot colours can shift slightly.

What if my artwork is low quality?

Send it anyway. We'll tell you whether it holds up at print size and what it would take to clean it up before anything goes on a garment.
