Bear Grips Pro ShopsAn Apliiq Alternative for Embroidered Hats and Caps
- Embroidered hats are one of the most searched custom apparel categories, and a common reason sellers look at Apliiq.
- Bear Grips Pro Shops offers three embroidered hat styles from $25.86 to $29.86 VIP base.
- No minimum order and no per-color embroidery upcharge, one flat per-piece price.
- Hosted storefront included, so there is no separate Shopify store needed to sell hats.
Custom embroidered hats are a high-volume search category, and sellers evaluating Apliiq are often drawn specifically to its embroidery and private label capability. If the goal is a standalone embroidered hat or cap line for a gym, team, or small business (rather than a full private label garment build), a hosted platform with embroidery already built into the standard catalog is often the simpler path. Bear Grips Pro Shops runs three embroidered hat styles at a flat per-piece price with no separate store platform required.
The embroidered hat lineup and pricing
| Hat | Brand | VIP base | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Flat Bill Snapback | Yupoong | $29.86 | Embroidery |
| Cuffed Winter Hat | Yupoong | $25.86 | Embroidery |
| Youth Classic Baseball Hat | Valucap | $25.86 | Embroidery |
Two additional printed hat styles round out the line: the Classic Rope Hat (Richardson, $29.86 VIP) and the Premium 5-Panel Baseball Hat (Otto Cap, $29.86 VIP), for sellers who want a printed look instead of embroidery on the same order.
Design your own hat: what actually holds up in embroidery
Embroidery has different limits than print. Fine detail, small text, and gradient shading do not stitch cleanly. Three rules for a logo that will actually embroider well:
- Keep text at 1/4 inch or larger, since stitched letters below that size blur together
- Flat, bold shapes stitch cleanest, avoid photographic detail or fine gradients
- Limit the design to 3-6 thread colors for a clean, readable result
A logo built for a printed tee often needs simplifying before it works as an embroidered hat.
Bear Grips Pro Shops: Custom Apparel for Your Team. No Minimums. Free Shipping.Do you need a Shopify store to sell custom hats?
Not with a hosted platform. Apliiq's embroidery and private label capability run through its Shopify app, which means a Shopify subscription and store build come first. Bear Grips Pro Shops includes a hosted storefront at signup, so a gym or team can add an embroidered hat to the catalog and start selling without ever opening a Shopify account.
No minimum order on embroidered hats
One hat prints (embroiders) at the same $25.86 to $29.86 VIP base price as one hundred. No setup fee, no minimum run, no per-color embroidery upcharge. That matters for a gym testing a single hat design before committing to a full product lineup, or a small team wanting just enough hats for the coaching staff.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is embroidery available on more than just hats?
On Bear Grips Pro Shops, embroidery is offered on the hat and cap line specifically. Apparel (tees, hoodies, sweatshirts) is printed, not embroidered.
Is there a minimum order for embroidered hats?
No. One hat or one hundred ships at the same per-piece price with no setup fee.
What file format works best for an embroidered logo?
A clean vector or high-resolution PNG with bold, flat shapes and limited detail converts to embroidery most cleanly. Complex gradients and fine photographic detail do not stitch well.
How does this compare to Apliiq for embroidery specifically?
Apliiq offers embroidery through its Shopify app and is well suited to sellers already running a Shopify store who want deeper garment customization. For a standalone hat or cap line with no separate store platform needed, a hosted catalog covers the same core embroidery need.
