Adult gymnastics classes are typically 8 to 25 students. Traditional custom apparel vendors demand 24, 48, or 72 piece minimums per design before the per shirt math works. That breaks for adult class programs: students drop in mid season, sizing varies wildly, and the program lead does not want to forecast inventory. Per piece print on demand removes the minimum entirely. One shirt at a time. Same price. Here is how it works for adult class programs.
No minimum means literally one shirt qualifies as an order. The shirt is printed when the order comes in, packed, and shipped to the address on the order. There is no batch processing step, no minimum unit count, no setup fee, no per color fee. The program uploads its design once. Each student orders the shirt they want in the size they want. The shirt prints and ships. The next student order does the same.
| Order context | Per shirt cost (Premium Cotton Crew, VIP plan) | Minimum order quantity |
|---|---|---|
| Bear Grips Pro Shops, single shirt | $23.88 | 1 |
| Bear Grips Pro Shops, 12 shirts | $23.88 | 1 |
| Traditional screen printer, 12 shirt order | $18 to $24 | 12 to 24 |
| Traditional screen printer, 48 shirt order | $12 to $16 | 48 |
Above 48 pieces a traditional screen printer beats per piece print on raw unit cost. The trade is bulk pre order, inventory commitment, fixed sizing decisions, and the impossibility of running individual names. Most adult class programs never cross 48 pieces in a single batch and prefer the flexibility of per piece.
