Every band that has ordered screen-printed merch knows the ending: a box of smalls under someone's bed and a stack of larges that became pajamas. Traditional printers want 24 to 50 pieces minimum, plus setup fees per color, and the band fronts all of it before selling shirt one. Bear Grips Pro Shops prints custom band merch one piece at a time, at the same per-piece price regardless of quantity, with zero setup fees. A single fan ordering a single tee triggers the print.

Why minimums break small-band merch math

A minimum order forces three guesses, and bands rarely land all three:

The no-minimum model deletes all three. Fans pick the size, the design proves itself sale by sale, and no cash leaves the band before a sale happens.

How no-minimum pricing actually works

Order sizePer-piece base (tee)Setup feeShipping
1 tee$19.88$0Free
10 tees$19.88$0Free
100 tees$19.88$0Free

The same flat model holds across the catalog: hoodies, crewnecks, tanks, hats, joggers. No per-color charges either, so a full-color gig poster design prints at the same price as a one-color logo.

What no minimum unlocks for a band

Three workflows that only exist without MOQs:

  1. Test designs in parallel: put three tee designs in the store at once, watch two weeks of sales, keep the winner on the table.
  2. Single and EP drops: a design per release, live for a month, retired forever. Real scarcity with zero leftover stock.
  3. Every size, always: the online store never sells out of 2XL because nothing is stocked. More on that in plus size band merch.

When a bulk order still makes sense

Physical table stock still matters, and some moments justify ordering a stack: a festival slot, a record release show, a support run in bigger rooms. The difference is you order the stack at the same per-piece price with no penalty, sized by real sales data from your store instead of a guess. The playbook is in band t shirts in bulk.

Print One Piece at a Time

No minimum, no setup fee, no leftover boxes. Same per-piece price on one order or one hundred.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there hidden setup or screen fees?

No. No screen fee, no art fee, no per-color charge. The per-piece base covers blank, print, packing, and shipping.

Can fans each pick their own size and color?

Yes. Every order is individual, so each fan chooses from the sizes and colors you enable.

Does the per-piece price drop on big orders?

The price is flat: no volume discount and no small-order penalty. One tee and one hundred tees cost the same per piece.

How fast does a single order ship?

Printed in the USA and delivered in about a week, with free shipping to the fan.
