Q-Tees celebrates 35 years

Q-Tees, a manufacturer and importer of tote bags, aprons, and towels, is celebrating its 35th anniversary of providing products to wholesalers and suppliers nationwide. Q-Tees began with a simple yet powerful belief: “to bring innovation and inspiration to the world through affordable, high-quality goods.”

Since then, the company has evolved from its roots in the linen trade. Initially focused on supplying towels to the hospitality sector, Q-Tees quickly realized that high-quality apparel was hard to find at an affordable price. This insight led it to a solution: providing mass-scale, budget-friendly products to wholesalers across the U.S. As demand for their products grew, Q-Tees transitioned into creating their brand, expanding its reach and solidifying its reputation in the industry.

Today, Q-Tees is one of Pakistan’s largest exporters of tote bags, aprons, towels, and bandannas. With a vast selection of over 800 SKUs in more than 100 styles and 25 colors, the company has built long-lasting partnerships with over 20 suppliers.

“Our success is rooted in our deep understanding of our customers’ needs and the quality of our products,” said Shawn Teli, marketing director at Q-Tees and a second-generation leader in the family business. “For 35 years, we’ve been dedicated to delivering excellence through innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability. We are proud of how far we’ve come and are excited for the future.”

To celebrate this milestone, Q-Tees hosted a special event for the 500+ workers at the factory — the core team that has played a vital role in making Q-Tees the brand it is today. The celebration included a rooftop dinner and generous giveaways, ranging from essential household items like clothing, pots, pans, and coolers to larger necessities such as microwaves and LPG gas cylinders, recognizing the challenges they face with gas shortages for cooking.

“Being a family-owned and operated business, building strong partnerships and supporting our customers’ success is at the core of what we do,” said Teli. “As we look to the future, we remain committed to our values of achievement, trust, and integrity, ensuring that we continue to make a positive impact on the promotional products industry.”
