who we are
A women owned, women operated premier full service custom print, embroidery and promotional products shop in Phoenix, Arizona.
Our Story
With a driven passion to provide the highest quality products and service in the Western United States, I acquired a small print shop and started AZ Hot Tees in 2001. Since then we’ve steadily grown our passionate team, acquired top-of-the-line equipment, and developed in-depth knowledge of the industry and its customers.
My word is my bond and when we say YES to a project, it will be accurate and on-time, that’s my promise. When tight turn-around times are imperative, we will step in and complete your job even when others can’t. That’s because we have the team with the right attitude, the equipment, and the expertise to move quickly and maintain the highest level of quality.
We hope you’ll consider doing business with us as we’re eager to serve you with all your garment embellishment and promotional item needs.

– Michelle Thelen, Founder and Owner
